Also how easy is it to uninstall beta 1? Or will beta 2 just "overwrite" it?

Beta 1 has 2 elements inside the civ4 folder: the mods/AOD folder, and the publicmaps/AOD.civ4WBS file. If both are deleted, it will be 'uninstalled'

Beta 2 will overwrite anything that it needs to. You do not need to remove beta 1 to make beta 2 work

Note: an 'installation/uninstallation' normally requires changes to your windows system files, registry values, etc. Civ4 mods do not do this. They're more like plug-ins than installations.

To "uninstall" Beta1 you just need to delete the Age of Discovery mod folder, and the Age of Discovery map from the PublicMaps folder.

Would you need to uninstall or will it just over write?

Thanks

How about a scripted event (maybe player-triggerable) where all of his cities in the new world (West of whatever Y-coordinate) and all of his other cities split into two different factions. Is this possible? It would be like when the American colonies seperated and declared their indepencence from England. I have no idea how this would be done but I figured you'd be the one to ask if it is possible.

If it is possible you might even make it a victory requirement where the player has to split from the parent country and only then can he qualify for any of the victory conditions. Just a (probably lame) suggestion.

Also, via python I want to allow accumulation of luxury resources in the New World that require shipment back to the Old World. This should allow for navys.

Dale

One way to do this would be to have resource yields (like food/production and commerce), which would build up to produce a cargo unit. The rate of yield accumulation would depend on the quality of the improvement. Better improvements (enabled by different technologies) produce bigger yields. This would, however, add layers of complications

Hey Dale,

You are probably already aware of this but, with Python error trapping enabled, there seems to be an error when pulling up Demographics screen.

I get the following error message:

Python Exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "CvScreensInterface", Line 529, in Handleinput,

File "CvInfoScreen", Line 2154, in Handleinput

AttributeError: CvInfoScreen instance has no attribute
'graphLeftButtonID'

To all,

Beta2 should be available in the next few days. If not tomorrow, then thursday.

Excellent.

[Dale]

Beta2 will be given a run-through now before upload.

Hopefully the changes I made are to your liking.

Well during the run-through, I must say this is the best effort I've seen from the AI in regards to colonising.

In the screenshot (I'm French in Florida) there are 3 Spanish, 4 Portugese, 2 English and 4 French cities. The Dutch had 2 up in Canada but one is now gone (destroyed by Indians I assume).

Anyways, Beta2 should be up tomorrow.

[koningtiger]

Looks fine.

[Mandla]

Looking forward to it.

[conmcb25]

Great! I will definately make time to test beta 2.

[Dale]

Beta2 is now available for testing.

Please see the first post in this thread.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE DELETE THE "Age of Discovery" FOLDER FROM YOUR MODS FOLDER! OTHERWISE YOU MAY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE TEXTS IN-GAME!

Time to play.
