Exchange city

[Kill1Frenzy]

I just saw this in script.slc does anybody know if this could work?

// messagebox '01dipExchangeCity' {
// TEXT(ID_DIP_EXCHANGE_CITY);
// Button(ID_BUTTON_ACCEPT) { Accept(); }
// Button(ID_BUTTON_REJECT) { Reject(); }
// MessageType("EXCHANGE");
// MessageClass(2001);
// }

This could be a really cool feature to have in the game, I think

I don't know if the code would work. But as it is written here it is outcommented. So you have to remove the comment signs '//' and test it in the game. Maybe you have to trigger this message box somewhere.

I have seen the top bit before in the Alexander scenario by Activision but the bottom bit I haven't. it may be to exchange a city or something but it doesn't look like it's all there was there any more

[Kill1Frenzy]

That was every thing I could find about it, it didn't seem to be in any of the other files

[The Big Mc]

what scrip file was it in I may have a peek .

there had to be more anyway the in game text should be there.
or it's useless

any way if you just want to exchange cites theres a small bit of code in the alexend scenario it may need to be changed just type in sindu in the search box in the scenario file it has some in msg too

[Kill1Frenzy]

In script.slc

I will take a look on the alexander scenario

I am sorry but were is the location of this file in the ctp file on my computer on some internet site its 1.20 its the afternoon help out.

[Kill1Frenzy]

I ain't really sure what you mean , but
CtP2 Dir\ctp2_data\default\gamedata\script.slc
around line 357

found it , seen it , read it.

its part of the diplomacy screen. when you enter into diplomatic negotiations you can offer or ask for a city. that's what you found.

I had a look at making a bit of slic around transferring cites. I used the barbarians so when they capture a city they try to sell it you for some cash. I just got to get the msg boxes working if you can wait for monday I should have it finished.

[Kill1Frenzy]

Nice idea , looking forward to monday

[The Big Mc]

good news bad news

got the slic working works fine it takes a turn to change the owner of the city.

The Bad news is i got snowed under in english work and have not had time to make it look good. so i will have to send it next time.

It's always like this get it done find out you have ten tones of work to do.

sorry

[The Big Mc]

sorry I should have posted this it's not much just the hart of the give city stuff

Event:GiveCity(city[0], 1);

the first bit city[0] is the city to be given away and the 1 bit is the player enjoy

ps like the new avatar

[Kill1Frenzy]

Okay! I'll try to make it then.
btw nice robot

[The Big Mc]

Got it

the files finished and ready to download to activate it all you have to do id copy Gs_msg and mc_gs into a scenario default \ gamedate folder find the scenario.slc file open it up and put

#include "mc_gs.slc"

then put the scen strings into "english" gamed data \ scen strings or if it is a new scenario just put the file straight in.

and it will work

it is just a base remember and I would like you to change the text to something you would like.

I also made a version were I explain the main slic I know there is a lot of new slicers around so that's really for them.

[The Big Mc]

here it is for all the would be slicers

oh and by the way kill1frenzy the "robot " is the best unit in ctp1 so respect the thing

ps sory abot the spelings
