ViSa General Discussion

[TAfirehawk]

just curious what is the eta for 3

Building the DLL right now with the G Era....of course there are 14 other mods to include in V3.0

I haven't gotten to play this yet but was wondering. How does the AI handle the changes in here? Was any AI work done? Stack attack seems like the biggest thing it might get confused on. Thanks in advance.

I have had little luck with the AI using the stack attack, but others report it working just fine. Everything else I believe the AI uses quite well...and remember we are including Blake's BetterAI too

So right now it is configured that you cannot assign doctor specialists in your cities?

They should work, I just don't remember the criteria from TheLopez....and you can go look it up as easy as I can since we link to it from ViSa

Hey can someone tell me which files in ViSa I need to change in order to change a Civ's default colors (and secondary color)?

thanks

agoodfella hi
civ4colurinfo.xml
playerinfo.xml

Will you be taking out the direct bombardment option for siege weapons? I must say, I love blowing things up from afar. Ingame, too Thanks for the answers!

I'd like to present again this question from vodobas to TAf 'cause IMHO ranged bombardment works perfectly and it's essential.

agoodfella hi
civ4colurinfo.xml

thanks Keldath...

i know there are prolly several versions of this file.

can someone point me to which one i need to change without causing a huge hiccup?

thanks again

Ranged bombardment from Dale is most certainly NOT leaving ViSa....EVER.

I replied to your other post....and gave full paths to the files from the VISA folder....and only one version of a file can exist or how would your PC know which one to use

Great Doctor
None of the buildings listed in the docs and posts and such can add a Doctor specialist to a city for me. Universities and hospitals, the doctor is still greyed out. The AI occasionally gets a Great Doctor, but I just can not assign a single specialist. Is there a civic or tech required to assign a doctor specialist? I haven't changed any .ini settings, but it seems like nothing in there applies.

The only way I know to get a Great Doctor is by building Hanging Gardens. The city I built it in was generating alot of Great People Points. Over a hundred. Yet the Hanging Gardens +2GDPs still gained me three Doctors by the mid 1800s.

There are other ways....we tweaked the original GD code from TheLopez in a patch....don't remember them all right now

 

[White Elk]

Just learned that Red Cross also grants +2GDPs.

 

[Bombguy99]

I just thought I would post up that I have thoroughly enjoyed this mod. Great work.

So, I'm not the only one that cannot assign doctor specialists, right? Lopez's notes say the hospital and university allow Doctor Specialists but for me, they do not. Nothing allows it. I'm not the only nutter in this boat, then?

Curiosity question...

What exactly does "ViSa" stand for anyway?

Right.

I have tried changing the names of the Civics by editing the VISA_civic.xml file. However, everytime I make even the smallest change and resave, the system reports "Error at top of file" (or something to that effect).

Is there any way I can edit these XML files?

[agoodfella]

OK, so here's a "dumb" question,

what are those tiny little icons above the normal Icon menus at the bottom do... in other words, when you hover above one of them, the say "PLE_something"

thanks
