My C++ Events Generator

[St Leo]

Anzac asked for my C++ thingie, so here it is. It allows great dynamic event generation and compiles to virus-sized DOS executables.

P.S. I've only made the procedures that I needed.
P.P.S. Edit Post to see proper tabbing.

Huh ???

Okay, pretend for a second that I have no idea how to use C++ and all that events lingo confuses me to no end. Now pretend that you need to explain all this to me.

P.S. just remember that I said pretend, I know what you're talking about. I am just seeing if you know what you're about.

[St Leo]

This is basically just an interactive preprocessor for the CivII macro language. You can use C++ loops and other control structures and the syntax is much cleaner.

[Jimmywax]

Are you saying that I can copy this down and put it right in an events file and it will work?

Or do I have to make it into a batch file or something?

[The ANZAC]

Thanks St. Leo, though I somewhat understand it. But I think when I get Fictional Americas and see how it works in the field, I will be able to really implement it. Thanks

Is this anything like Angelo Scottos' CPSL?

I think this simply randomizes event you get..... for example, I suppose you could set it so that say you could get extra money every 5, 10 or 20 years, depndig on a randomized factor.... *tries to remember more from puny collection of C++ knowledge*

[St Leo]

No, CSPL messes with Civ2's memory to create new events. This simply generates a custom events file. Note: I don't know how to run delevent.exe for a C++ file, so you might have to combine this with a batch file for mutli-event file scenarios.

That certainly is possible, but in Fictional Americas and Imperial Ambition I used this to create a distinct file based on who's human and who's not, while in Roman Riots II I simply used it because I prefer C++ function syntax.
