looks cool. I was thinking of making a "bombing" event similar to the crashing airplane (those things happen often in the game). Just to simulate a more radical and dangerous world after mass media.

Another one was to have gang violence and different celebrity gaffs, but haven't thought those through.

[jkp1187]

There's definitely some possibilities there. I'm taking a little break from modding for the month...things are busy at work, and my wife was starting to look concerned as I was spending so much time on the computer, but if I hear some good suggestions I might be game to implement them in January.

In any event, feedback on the events is welcome. The thread I linked to at "another forum" has a post describing each event in detail.

[jkp1187]

Updated to v.0.985 -- corrected a few balance issues, no new events. Should be backward-save compatible.

[jkp1187]

Updated to v.0.99 -- a couple of new events, a few more tweaks, added CFC Hall of Fame fix to Partisans.

[jkp1187]

Updated to 1.01.

Added new Pirate-related events:

Illyrian Pirates
The Corsairs
Stede Bonnet
Henry Morgan
Malaccan Pirates
Pirates of the Neutral Zones

[jkp1187]

Updated to 1.15. See CFC discussion thread linked above for full details.

[jkp1187]

Updated to 1.17.

[jkp1187]

Updated to 1.21 -- mostly behind-the-scenes stuff, but also fixed a couple of minor bugs in one or two events.

I'd like to add this to Dale Combat mod but you suggest that we load this as a mod... can I add this to the core game? How to do?

Should be easy as pie. Copy all of the DCM to a new subfolder in your main BTS mod folder. (Call it "DCM + JKP Events", let's say.) Then just copy the folder structure from the JKP Events folder into the DCM + JKP Events folder. As long as there's no overlap between the files (and I do not believe there will be), the two mods will then be integrated.

I would not recommend adding this (or any mod) into your core game. (The events mod really only changes a few files, but it's the principle of data integrity that I'm worried about.) If you want, you can always set up a shortcut on your desktop that will automatically load a mod if you always like to play it.

In the alternative, you can always set up your Civ4 INI file so that a specific mod is always loaded. (Setting up shortcuts is probably preferable, though.)

[jkp1187]

Oh...to create a shortcut:

You can also create a shortcut that will automatically load the mod. You'll need to set the target to:

"C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Civ4BeyondSword.exe" mod=/JKP1187's EVENTS (or whatever the mod folder name is)

the Start-In line should read:

"C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword"

(This also may vary if you installed BtS to something other than the default folder.)

Does this mod crash with Bhuric's patch?

[jkp1187]

Nope. In fact, it assumes you are using it -- I never bothered testing it WITHOUT Bhuric's patch (though it probably would still work -- just XML and python coding, nothing SDK-related.)
