City size, objective

[Zen]

I would greatly appreciate any help someone(s) could give me.

I've been looking for a while now, and I can't figure out where a few things are stored in Civ IV...

1. "city size" --> population number

I want to change
1 --> 1000
2 --> 6000
3 --> 21000
4 --> 48000
5 --> 90000

etc...

to a system that allows me to increase city population, while the "acutal population" number doesn't skyrocket.

for example...

1 --> 1000
2 --> 2000
3 --> 8000
4 --> 16000
5 --> 25000


2. Where is "city objective" stored. In the desert fox mod they use "city objective" as a victory condition. I can find how to set #objectives to win.... BUT WHERE/HOW do you designate a city as an objective... I thought maybe it was in Python, but maybe it is just some script that I missed in the XML, or game file?


thank you in advance.

Anyone have an idea where these can be found?
How to modify them?

I'm not exactly sure, but I definitely know that there is a place to modify some aspect of the popuylation. There's two types, linear or exponential, but I do not know if that has to do with the graphics, the population, or both. It's in GlobalDefines.xml. Otherwise, I'd check the python for the demographics.

For the second, try checking the python in the scenario. I'm pretty sure it was written for that scenario.

Edit: Blah. Only thing I could find for the real population is a function that allows one to grab the population; iPopulation = pPlayer.getRealPopulation()

thanks bill,

What I saw of population in Globaldefines seemed to have to do with graphics... but I couldn't tell for sure.


Maybe it does have something to do with the population stated.

As for python... uggh.. I am avoiding having to search through that myself (since I don't code). I have no idea what to look for or what the text might mean.
I guess I'll have to try.

The relevant code is:

		if ( (self.countAlliesObjectives() == 6 or self.countAxisObjectives() == 6) ):
			iCount = self.getVictoryTimer()
			self.setVictoryTimer(iCount - 1)
			# let calculateScore() know the game has been won
			if iCount == 1:
				self.setVictoryNextTurn(True)

Basically it checks to see if the allies or axis control 6 objective cities (separate functions), and if so, triggers the victory condition.

then theres also the part that draws that in the victory screen, which I have to find eventually... unless someone has it handy for pasting
