[WARLORDS-SDK] 32 Civs in-game

I've uploaded it to the file database. Download link in first post.

Dale, does this mod worh if you edit the xml map files to create a massive map with 32 civs or does it only work using WB

 

[clinton]

Does increasing the civ limit but not using those civs slow down the game? As in, is a 18 civ game with a 32 civ limit much slower than an 18 civ game with a 64 civ limit?

If there's no difference, it would be good if you could release a version with a really large limit (as large as possible, 250 maybe, even more?) and let players choose their own limit based on their hardware/map size.

I think it would be cool to have a 200 civ game, on a normal map. A few "superpowers" and lots of small one city civs. This might seem unrealistic on current hardware, but hardware is only going to improve as time goes on.

Anyway, it would be great if you could release a version with the highest limit you've got to run a map and maybe one turn (disregarding how long that turn takes to process).

Sticky this thread!

I would like a 200 civ game too, but on a normal map there wouldn't be enough room.

A 200 civ game would work ... if you had a cluster for processing BL, the performance difference is significant for an SDK modded game which had 24 instead of 18 players, and the previous posts in this thread mention why that is. 32 just increases the lag time, no to mention rendering the default diplomacy/foreign advisor screen near useless.

I'd like to add this to my own mod - is the source code available?

CvDefines.h - simply change the MAX_CIV_PLAYERS to whatever you want it to be.

I'm wondering if this could be changed to use a GlobalDefine so you could easily change it without re-compiling the whole DLL.

Dale, I wonder if you could help with this mod we are trying to play it but there seems to be a problem. I wonder if you could look at http://www.strategamer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=363&page=2 and possibly give us your expert opinion. Any input would be greatly appreciated. It might be a server problem but nobody seems very sure. Thank you

I have never used the diplomacy/foreign advisor screen...

Anyone update this for 2.08 patch yet?

 

[Dale]

I'll do an update tomorrow morning for 2.08.

 

[Drtad]

I think Nevermind posted DLLs (version 2.08) for 24 civs, 32 civs, and even one for 50 civs a few days ago.

 

[OverloadUT]

I'll do an update tomorrow morning for 2.08.

Just curious if this is ready yet?

 

[Dale]

Did nevermind create one for 2.08 or not? If not, I'll do one.

I just found the thread. He just links to one someone else makes. But looks like it's the same thing.

Here's the thread.

Now to see if our 32 player PTBS game can be updated!

 

[Nigther]

I would be very thankfull if you made an dll Dale because with neverminds you have to load it as a mod.

So if it isn't to hard for you, please.

 

[NeverMind]

Nigther, just copy the .dll you need from mod\assets folder to your CustomAssets.

But note. Any dll with more MAX_CIV_PLAYERS causes crashes of WBS scenarios made with standard 18civs limit dll.

That's why I would not recommend CustomAssets in this case.

 

[Dale]

You can get around that crash by filling in the team and player sections in the WBS header up to the civ limit in the dll you use.

 

[Nigther]

Ok, thanks alot for the info guys, it works now!

But is there any way I can get this to work together with a mod? I mean without the mod maker including it in the mod himself.

 

[Dale]

Well..... depends on the mod. If they've got a dll file, they'll have to add it.

Otherwise, as long as the scenario can handle it, and there's enough leaders/civs in the xml files, should be cool.
