First off,
I've read through the Initial Python Reference thread.
Second, I have no real coding knowledge/ability. I can edit things and copy and paste, and figure things out.
Currently, I am making a mod (scenario currently). I have the map set up, and I have been trying to alter things as best I can using the save game file.
Now though, I want to include some events, and other changes.
Has anyone created any sort of "how to use Civ IV Python for beginners" helper?
Yes, I saw all the information Locutus gave us, but to me that info is meaningless as I am not sure what it all means, where I can find it, and how it should be altered.
What I really need, is a simple example... going from the very basic steps of "go to this file..." then "find this line" and so on, including what sort of information I need to include to make a working event, or feature modification.
Here's an example.... I don't know what any of this info would allow me to do, or what each of the arguments actually means, or what I need to write in. I have some ideas, but know real understanding...
onCombatCalc
'Combat Result'
arguments: cdAttacker, cdDefender, iDefenderOdds
---------
anyways, I really just need some beginner's help. Even just going through a really simple event and how to write up workable code for it... and what editor program(s) to use. I primarily use notepad as I have notepad.
thanks to anyone who can give some help
