Vicevirtuoso's Civilizations

[Vicevirtuoso]

Valentine apparently is still using an old TSL Serializer, and I thought for sure he had v3. This will cause the Nep civs (among several other mods) to break. I really need to go update all those old Civs. Very soon. I just need to give my WHM in FFXIV a bit of a break, but that's easier said than done, considering I've had more fun with FFXIV in the past month than I have modding for the past six.

Edit: Speaking of FFXIV, since I don't feel like adding more to my plate without it being worth the effort, would there be any interest in a set of FFXIV civs? Probably just Gridania, Ul'Dah, and Limsa Lominsa for now.

Oh that's important to hear. I was just about to add the TSL Serializer to my Saiyaman Civilization, but if that may cause issues, I think I'll do the other pending files instead (gosh, I haven't made any progress in the last week, and my Civilization is still in Early to Medium progress).

Someone in the Steam Workshop made a scenario about FFXIV, but that's pretty much everything about it. I don't know much about FFXIV, but I'm really looking forward for it ! I'll gladly support you if there's something you need help for (though I rather think the opposite is actually the case )!

EDIT: So basically, all you need is to replace the old TSL Serializer v2 with the new one with the Core Data and refer the code to the new one? Just thinking about a temporary fix so I can finally test Valentine and the Corpse Part functions.

In that case, I'll drop it. Don't wanna go down the road of making something someone else has already made again (because then who knows how many more people will start making FFXIV stuff).

Should fix it, yeah.

Aw, that's too bad. Then again, I just looked at the scenario again, and it seems it's basically just a map with vanilla civilizations there (and probably discontinued): http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=529095421

Do you have any different ideas, though? And are you still currently busy at the moment?

Should fix it, yeah.

I just started Civ V after applying the "fix" and... it still doesn't work. The Dummy Policy's still broken and RAS refuses to load the Unit Panel when Valentine is enabled .

* at VV's Decision to remove the Fujoshi Decision from Vert's civ *

Noooooo !

Spoiler :

(Lol, seriously, I really liked that Decision, as it really helped me getting Golden ages and getting Great Game Devs so far, whereas Fund Leanbox's Killer App tends to end up being near useless, as who actually builds Police Stations anyway. And it would rip half of her personality trait away, as will as the "Heterosexual Relationship War of Yuri Goggle-Clad Otakus". Maybe make it as an UD exclusive Decision with providing WLTQD (on purpose) instead?)

EDIT: Put the image behind the Spoiler and fixed the Typo.

 

[poom3619]

I thought VV is someone from Code Geass for a second.

BTW. Please put large pictures in spoiler in the future.

Sorry! I kinda rushed the comment before and forgot to put the Spoiler Tags (writing from an iPad is bad for my health ).

Btw, are there any updates or new civs you're working on?

What version of RAS are you running? Older versions conflict with PlotIterators.lua. I think v14 was the version which fixed that?

Well, her current UA will end up becoming a Decision, so the effect will essentially still be there. Her new one will involve you declaring a City-State to be your little sister, which gives you a monstrous Influence boost and additional bonuses from a single City-State, at the cost of other City-States' influence dropping more quickly.

Btw, are there any updates or new civs you're working on?

At the moment, no. FFXIV has been far, far more entertaining than modding has been lately. I was experiencing major burnout and needed some time away from it. Between that, schoolwork, and preparing for my trip to Japan, I likely won't update any of my civs until June.

Some things to look forward to, Civ by Civ:

Madoka Rebellion Civpack: Character-specific dialog, unit models(?), various bugfixes
Wish for the World: ...something at some point. It makes my head hurt a bit
Naked Snake: Major revision including full split between Naked's MSF and Venom's Diamond Dogs, ocean start, Outer Ops being actual quest-like missions, no Food growth, gain population from expending military units, FOB unique improvement, and lots of other goodies
Ocelot: Buff PMC Incorporators, unit model for FROGs
Armstrong: Overhaul UA to grant Delegates based on number of kills against Civs going against your ideology, unit model for Cyborg Ninja
Saber: new UA I can't quite finalize right now
Gilgamesh: remove Faith -> Gold from UA, he just won't get Faith period
Lancer, Rider: nothing really
Emiya: update to TSL v3, E&D support
City of Heroes pack: unit models if I can find them (CoH's graphic engine is still pretty much uncracked and likely will forever remain as such)
Nanoha: update to TSL v3
Miku: nothing really, maybe use dummy buildings instead of all those "UB" replacements
Pierce: nothing
Valentine: update to TSL v3, add in scaling increase of finding Corpse Parts over time, maybe a new UB
CIA: overhaul UA (probably something to do with rebasing aircraft), add delicious leader icon done by SnowyNix
Neps: Several changes including giving UD versions of civs at least one new unique to separate them further from their HD counterparts


And potential new Civs:
FFXIV pack: Gridania, Ul'Dah, Limsa Lominsa. POSSIBLY Ishgard and Garlemald but those are maybes
Another April Fool's Civ
Revolutionary France (you heard that right: a historical civ!)

 

[RoxyRiku94]

Version 15, that's why I thought it was weird, as the other civs like JFD's Russia, Klisz's Organization XIII, your Armstrong and Nep civs, and heck, even my Saiyaman civ (though it caused CTD on game load as it's still pre-Alpha) loaded the Unit Selection Screen totally fine.

And potential new Civs:
Revolutionary France (you heard that right: a historical civ!)

A historical civ made by Vice Virtuoso!? That sounds indeed revolutionary ! I'm still 'currently' sticking myself making fictional civs though, as I've slacked off at World History while at school

June... *marks calendar*

 

[ima]

E&D for the broken lords maybe?

 

[Vicevirtuoso]

Well, good news for you guys, I suppose: due to some personal issues, I have dropped FFXIV for now and may be resuming modding sooner than expected.

E&D for the broken lords maybe?

That will be part of their update, yes.

Spoiler :

I'm debating on adding the Plague of Savagery event from EL, just for trolling purposes.

 

[AuroraKet]

Sorry to hear you had personal issues that made you drop FFXIV, if you were enjoying it.

I'm happy to hear we might get updates sooner of course, but not at the expense of you losing enjoyment.

They've been sorted out, so now I'm happily getting mauled by Sephirot Extreme.


However, I managed to squeeze in an April Fools' Civ:

(i'll make one of those infographics for it later)

Well, that's good then. Thanks for the April Fools Civ. ^_^ The timeline still June for updates, or it pushed back now?

 

[GPuzzle]

I never thought I'd see a Civ based around dubs. That said, not adding the church of holy doubles was a stupid idea.

 

[Groucho Marx]

I guess like they say, just check'em.

 

[Vicevirtuoso]

I never thought I'd see a Civ based around dubs. That said, not adding the church of holy doubles was a stupid idea.

Eh, I could add this in the next update with E&D support.

I'm also not too terribly happy with the UU. While it is exactly what I wanted in terms of mechanics, flavorwise I figured it should have been "Serial Killer" or something like that. The problem with that was finding both a decent unit model and icon.

I also thought about making it a "Mergers and Acquisitions Banker" replacement for the Great Merchant who would could grant occupied cities free courthouses when expended (in addition to what you expended them for), and then on turn numbers which are dubs, it becomes a very powerful Serial Killer unit for that turn only.

But I made this civ in a hurry and thus I got a little lazy.

 

[AuroraKet]

I know you're busy with FFXIV still likely, but are your civs compatible with the new CBP compatible version of E&D? If not, could that be looked into when you do updates?

Not a clue. Other than making sure Bateman worked, I haven't played Civ at all in the past 3 months.

Test it and find out!
