Llegó el SDK (y un nuevo parche)

[jasev]

La versión 1.61 de Civ4 ya está disponible.

Asímismo, el famoso y esperado SDK puede descargarse desde ya mismo.

http://www.2kgames.com/civ4/downloads.htm

No es en realidad lo que entendemos por SDK en desarrollo de software; no hay utilidades, "sólo" es el código fuente de las librerías dinámicas del juego.

Hace falta un nivel de programación bastante avanzado para manipularlas... y los compiladores adecuados, por supuesto.

Próximamente ambas descargas estarán disponibles en civadictos.com

Hoy es un dia de actualidad civilera,

Por cierto, no tendremos notificacion oficial en castellano de como utilizar el SDK hasta pasar las fiestas... tenia que salir el SDK en fiestas!!!

Troubleshooting Connectivity

If you are encountering problems when connecting to multiplayer games over the internet, chances are strong that you are not the cause of the problem. It is likely that players running firewall software that rejects incoming connection attempts may have already joined the game. Since these players do not have their firewall configured correctly, their computers are rejecting your attempt to connect. Therefore, it is vital that all players who wish to play multiplayer games ensure that their firewall is set up to allow Civilization IV to construct the necessary peer-to-peer network.

If you are running firewall software, please verify that Sid Meier’s Civilization 4 is listed on the "Exception List" of your firewall, and that incoming messages will be accepted for this process. If your firewall software does not offer an exception list, please open port 2056 for UDP traffic on your firewall. This will allow the required traffic through.

Although Civilization IV contains logic to negotiate around many firewalls and NAT devices (routers), it can run into trouble under certain circumstances. The solution Civilization IV employs works with a vast majority of routers, but does not work with all brands. Very old models may have more problems than newer ones. Additionally, Civilization IV will have problems negotiating through 2 levels of network address translation (ie. a router behind a router). Also, negotiation may fail if you or an existing peer is running the game on a very large and busy LAN.

Se reduce un tercio los escudos que te dan por cortar arboles, después de las matematicas tienes los mismos que antes del parche.

Ademas he leido, no lo he podido confirmar, que cuesta más turnos talar arboles

[astrologix]

:babea:

Ahora le echo un vistazo a los SDK...

[Rivio]

ya he visto casi todo los archivos que vienen en el comprimido, y la verdad esq casi que me alegro que venga en c++, ya que no soy avanzado pero poseo conocimientos suficientes como para meterle un poco la mano

Aun asi, es complicaillo esto, punteros por ahi, estructuras por alla..... pueden dar mucho errores , pero como se dice por ahi "de los errores se aprende"....o algo asi

[Alfonso]

Primera regla de oro: con los punteros pies de plomo.

Mañana le dare una ojeada, sobre todo quiero ver que estilo tiene el codigo de un juego con civ4.

[Niessuh]

Madre mia, las librerias enteritas, esto es lo nunca visto

Se acabó la deforestación masiva Además con lo de matemáticas te evitas que la gente haga una superproducción warmonger inicial a base de cortar árboles que acabe con todo vecino cercano nada más empezar.

Parece que ahora muchas civics descartadas por todo el mundo empiezan a ser atractivas...

better AI-to-human diplo in team games

Espero que esto quiera decir que no se pone a hacer piezas de la nave en una ciudad perdida de la mano de Dios


Y dice que han arreglado leaks y rendimiento (y mis ojos bailones), a ver si tira mejor

[Master Zen]

Sigo impactado que en más de medio año Firaxis ni se ha molestado en mejorar el worldbuilder o crear alguna otra utilidad decente.

Patético.

Esto es un juego para mayores chaval

[Master Zen]

Si, totalmente de acuerdo...

gente con mayor enagenación de la realidad para sentirse satisfechos con tal monstruosidad de modelo de combate.

gente con mayor aumento en su graduación de lentes para no marearse de tanta porquería que aparece en el mapa.

Enteritas no, han sido recortadas. No las he explorado en profundidad, pero me fui directamente a la parte de la IA y le han pegado un buen corte. Como es lógico, claro.
