Advance from city capture

[J Bytheway]

Sorry - I uploaded a previous version which didn't work, not the latest one . That's the second time I've made that mistake... I've changed the attachment above, it should work now. And incidentally, the default output is to temp.slc, (as you can see in Pedrunn's screenshot).

[Pedrunn]

Here it is what we all wanted. The code is ready.
Just open the folder:
ctp2 main directory\ctp2_data\default\gamedata\
copy this file inside it.
and in the same folder open the file:
script.slc
inside this file paste this line:

# include"CityAdvance.slc"

I dont think any futher explanation is needed unless that You have a 25 % chance of getting the advance and if you do a message will show up.

Thanks Jonh. The aplication works beautifuly and it is pretty useful.

EDIT: Changed the chance from 50 % to 25 %.

Yes nice one peddy and JBytheway this is so class all the stuff comming out for ctp2 mod wise

wonder why they took this feature out of ctp2 from ctp1 anyway. did it work different in ctp1?


Anyway Pedrunn i REALLY thing you should change it to a 25% chance as it was in C:CtP otherwise i just dont think it will be balanced

anyway im in a rush but that is on my definates to download and should be in ALL mod packs i think it should have a news item maybe too ? Cause it could mean alot to quite alot of C:CtP players who dont play CtP2
I dunno just an idea



P.S. Pedrunn read my barbarian ideas thread (please )

Help needed

I cant open SLC files. Whenever I try to open one or download it, I start to get the message window "You have chosen to download a file from this location etc". The window then starts flashing quickly and my computer locks up.

Any ideas pls?

I have Windows 98.

[Pedrunn]

Open them with the windows notepad, or the wordpad, or any other program that opens text file. Try this. This way you can include my code in the Apolyton mod (the line goes in the APOL_script) or in the GoodMod (GM1_script.slc) or any other mod that uses the original tech tree (city expansion, fixmod, visi wonder ...)

If you still can get to open (what will be very very very strange) in last case replace the script.slc for this one. The change will be for the original game. Keep me informed even if it worked and you need no further help, ok?

[stankarp]

Thanks Pedrun but I still have the same problem. My Windows 98 must be corrupted. Will have to reload or something. When i donloaded wither of your two files the same thin occured and if i try to open a SLC file in the CTP2 folder it also does it.

[Pedrunn]

Does this happens with others files other then slic ones?
What about mods? They work?

[stankarp]

I have solved the problem with your help Pedrunn.

Found my computer was trying to open the files with Explorer rather than Notepad. Changed the file and now I can open it so i should be able to download now.

Thanks.

Your computer almost certainly was assimilating the .slc extension with explorer (which could not read it).

Quick question, doesnt work with Cradle does it ?

[Immortal Wombat]

no. the numbering is different, a different version needs to be made.

[Pedrunn]

Craddle version 1.3 (should work for others versions),
Write this line in every CRA*_script (There is one for every modswapper option

# include"CRA_CityAdvance.slc"

But i am waiting a word from hexagonia to know if it will be included in Craddle 1.33 or not?

[stankarp]

Sorry Pedrunn, can U be more specific about the placement of the above code. I'm not code literate (((((

[Pedrunn]

copy the file in the ctp2_data\default\gamedata\ like the other file.
Then write

# include"CRA_CityAdvance.slc"

in the CRA_script.slc,
in the CRAG_script.slc,
in the CRAI_script.slc ,
and in the CRARR_script.slc,

Every one of thes files changes multiple Cradde modswapper choices. Since i dont know wich ones i recommend you to paste that line in all these file. So all modswapper options game will have this feature.

[Immortal Wombat]

note: write that line right at the bottom to be safe.
