D'oh, Pedrunn! If I had been able to follow this discussion more closely I could have told you ages ago how the CreateUnit event works. You don't really need the unit variable, it has no real value there (although it couldn't have hurt, I agree)! You should use the integers to find out if the unit is a Settler or similar, as I did in the old version of the Militia code:

// if a settler type unit is built, update # of Militia units if needed
HandleEvent(CreateUnit) 'MM2_MilitiaSettlerBuilt' post {			// triggers if a unit is created
city_t	tmpCity;
int_t	tmpValue;
	tmpValue = value[0];
	tmpCity = city[0];

	if (CityIsValid(tmpCity)) {						// and it was created from a city (no valid city means unit was created from ruin FE)
		if (tmpValue == UnitDB(UNIT_SETTLER) || tmpValue == UnitDB(UNIT_URBAN_PLANNER) || tmpValue == UnitDB(UNIT_SEA_ENGINEER)) {	// and if unit is settler unit
			if (tmpCity.population > 0) {				// and the city still exists (again not sure if needed)
				MM2_TryMilitia(tmpCity.population, tmpCity);	// update Militias if needed
			}
		}
	}
}

This event was pursuing me since the beggining of the coding.
I am relief that the code is until futher testing bug free but i feel bad that i lost so much time in this event. When i should have tested the int_t variables in the first place.
Anyway, thanks Locutus. I feel much better now

It is always better to check if the units, armies, cities are still valid, just in case. Unfortunazly I can't ckeck if a location is valid. I know if you play with DebugSlic=No then it is no problem. But if you try to make the scripts DebugSlic=Yes compartible then you have to do it.

The work of finding a workable number is so frustating. I have gone over all the numbers from 600 to 700. and most of the numbers caused game crashs . i think i re-launched my ctp2 about fifty times. You did suffered in silence when looking for the numbers, didnt you?

But i have finished the apolyton tile file.
I have done several changes in it. but the wonders numbers remains the same. I added the wonders you sent me on the numbers 471, 472, 481, 482, 483, 484 and 485. The Cities are in the working numbers from 600 to 700. I added all the wonders i made wich i sent you by e-mail except the st Pters Piazza because of the low quality of the graphic. And some changes in the cities were made.
To finalize the work and subimit the til I have a couple of questions:
1) We all agree that it has to go to the modification/graphics section?
2) Do you went through all nunbers from 300 to 499?
3) Did you went through anothers numbers?
4) I remember you dicussing with Locutus the best Madurai temple graphic. I wanna know if the picture i have is the winner. if not can you show me wich one is (please attached as png)?

I guess thats all.

You did suffered in silence when looking for the numbers, didnt you?

Yup. But I told you, blocks of 8, they work. Thats why I sent you 7, I thought you could find an unused block. Thankyou

1) yes
2) pretty much. That's where I put all the wonders.
3) I did much the same from 400 -> 600 I think. Quite a few of them work. That's where I put the cities in the tile file that comes with the visible wonders download.
4) Do you have a blue one or a red one?

[Immortal Wombat]

Here y'are. Should have this one.

[Pedrunn]

Another question: to finalize the read me.

What are the actual name of tne wonders you sent me by e-mail (I could only figure out 3 : ) and what are their source?

EDIT: I forgot to tell that the cathedral had the same number as the oracle. So i moved the cathedral to number 456

What happens when i subimit (add a link) a file to the database?
It goes direct to the database. Or do i have to wait so that the files gets checked by someone first?

The links are first checked by someone first. As I added GoodMod I got first an email that my link was recived from Dan's email account. And I think two hours later an link added email. I don't know if Dan wrote these emails himself or if it was an automated email the content was very brief. Of course it is good to have a home page that allows hot linking. That makes the adding process much easier as you don't have to send an email to Locutus.

I think its an automated response, but it does get approved first. Usually quite quickly if you submit European evening time. Mine was done in 20 minutes I think.

[Pedrunn]

who checks the files?

[Locutus]

Me. But I'm still very busy, a 20 minute response time is not gonna work now But your file will be approved today, assuming there are no problems with it

[Locutus]

Pedrunn,
Oops, seems like there *is* a problem with your file. Sort out the mess with IW first (He said he PM'ed you), then I'll approve it
