Wonder Possibilities

For the mod I would say it is now in alpha stage.

That was the intention. I was hoping someone could look over them in the week I was away.
I have a few days now to get them sorted as I would have liked.

Then I had to go to the IWW_info_str.txt and had to outcomment this line:

1 "owner = {city[0].owner}; wonder = {value[0]};"

You had to? Spare strings shouldn't interfere with it...

Finnally I had to add these lines to the IWW_info_str.txt:

IWW_WONDER_PILLAGE "Wonder Pillage"
IWW_WONDER_PILLAGE_1 "Wonder Pillage 1"
IWW_WONDER_PILLAGE_2 "Wonder Pillage 2"

Of course the string values her are only dummy messages to get started quickly.

Oh damn. I removed the lines that called the messages, but not the messages themselves.

The other problems about wonders not appearing are more of a worry, because it was working flawlessly for me when I finalised the code.

Are you shure that you sent the finalized code to Wouter, I think from the script the code still needs to give the owner of the land for the new suburb the enabling tech of the suburb tile improvement. And maybe a little bit of terraforming would be good so that every city can have suburbs on land.

It is the advances. In any mod to use this add-on, the advances for each timp are recommended to be the same as the enabling advance for the wonder in question.
The advances were set to Subneural Ads as a default one, and are not intended to stay that way.

[Immortal Wombat]

ps. If you give yourself sub ads, further testing should work perfectly...
Am I correct in thinking that every tile next to a city has to belong to that city's owner? Or is there a set of circumstances where that is not the case?

Remember the good sprite cretion bug i was having? when i got it working i did some cool graphics that can be used in your city expansion

What you guys think?

I hadn't even considered under-sea expansions That's really helpful! I wouldn't have been able to do such a good job on the razed ones especially.

PS: really surprised me that you included the razed cities, IW. I thought they were going to be forgotten )

nope, full thing, just like BlueO's. Your future ones really helped

When cities are founded really close to each other, this may not always be the case. 99% of the time it should be though...

Don't forget that colony mod - those cities don't own the adjacent tiles (If I understood the thread correctly). I'm fairly sure colonies shouldn't be able to build wonders, though.

There are limits to how far you should take these compatibility worries, though.

[Immortal Wombat]

yeah, that is true. But it should be simple one way or another to stop wonders being built in colonies.

[Locutus]

For colonnies you want this anyway:

mod_CanCityBuildWonder {
if (IsColony()) { return 0;} else {return 1;}
}

mod_CanCityBuildUnit {
if (IsColony()) { return 0;} else {return 1;}
}

mod_CanCityBuildBuilding {
if (IsColony()) { return 0;} else {return 1;}
}

... or something like that. Colonies are AFAIK not supposed to build anything...

[Immortal Wombat]

yeah. Its the details of IsColony() that needs sorting...

[Locutus]

If (TileHasImprovement(city[0].location, TILEIMP_COLONY)) { return 1 } else { return 0}

(or something like that)

[Immortal Wombat]

HandleEvent(CreateCity) 'colony' pre{
    if(value[1] == UnitDB(UNIT_COLONIST)){
       Event:CreateImprovement(city[0].owner, city[0].location, TileImprovementDB(TILEIMP_COLONY), 0);
    }
}

?

[Locutus]

Exactly. Easy for identification, doesn't cost you any buildings or anything, can be used for possible additional bonuses as well (defense/movement bonus maybe?).

I am glad you liked.

As for the BlueO expansion, we can just forget it.

It has a major bug! Since the city goods arent there at beggining of the game so their gold value isnt calculated.

Thos cause the good to have a astronomic value of thousand gold(I guess the maximum) because their rarity.
The only solution is to save and load the game. Because the games re-calculates the goods during loading. Yet having to load the gameseveral time is a game ruiner

So i guess i will wait you finish the mod to see cities expanding.

Samll thing: In the thanks, i gave the AI entity and not Martin
