  • CTP MODIFICATION: UNIT FLAGS

    CTP MODIFICATION: UNIT FLAGS

    For X, Y, and Z you generally need to put a number there. Y usually is the chance a unit special function succeeds, and Z is the chance the killed if the function fails. Occasionally I didn't know what the numbers referred to, so I just left them as is (like the middle number in INVESTIGATE_CITY, for instance)...

    SLIC Built-in variables and trigger events

    By Joe Rumsey
    About the author: CTP Programmer, a.k.a Mr Ogre on the forums

    Variable concepts

    Built-in variables in SLIC serve two purposes. First, they contain information about objects in the game. For example, when you have code that deals with a city, it will have access to a variable named city. To find out how many people live in the city, you can use city.population. Because you may sometimes have to deal with more than one city, an index as to which city you mean can be inserted between the container name and the member you are interested in. For example, city.1.population is the same as city.population since 1 is the default index if none is given. But city.2.population is the population of the second city in the current context. This use of indices is not specific to the city container, it works for all containers except g, clicked, and special. ...

    Here is what I have so far on a file to help explain how to make non-animated unit graphics. I'm going to add some more (such as an additional section on how to make shadows) but this is the basic part. When I post it, I will include a couple of files that will help the user make files easier. For now if you want to try this out, use the text I included earlier in this thread for the text file, and open up one of the cow pictures that comes with the graphics editor patch to start your graphic off from (deleting the cow, of course).

    CTP MODIFICATION: AIP COMMENTS

    I think I've managed to figure out how the AIPs work. The AIPs certainly have a lot of information about the inner workings of the AI. Read and enjoy. AIP COMMENTS (based on default.aip) Default.aip is the first aip loaded at game start and contains a number of strings which are not found in the other personality aips. If repeated in the other aips, the new values take precedence over the default. // The next line was used in Dark Reign to specify a likelihood that a spy // would be seen... We can use that stuff in Civ3, too int infiltrator_period = 2; No clue. ...

    How to stagnate growth and technology

    "When you create scenarios, will you be able to stagnate growth? For example, if I wanted to create a Viking scenario would you be able to ensure the tech level remains the same for that time period as opposed to being able to develop nuclear weapons? In Civ 2 that was one of the things that bothered me most. Someone creates a WW2 scenario and it quickly turns into a Desert Storm scenario."
    You can "stagnate" technology through three routes:...
