Modcast#10: Code-*****

[Locutus]

Finally in the double digits, the ModCast crew brings you jkp1187 to talk about his mods, and then everything devolves into the nonsense you've all come to know and love. Episode 10, "Code-*****" (48m47s), features core panelists Tony "GarretSidzaka" Kiehl and Oscar "Elhoim" Velzi with first-time guest host John "jkp1187" Palcheck.

ModCast is a bi-weekly ~45-minute audio production of Apolyton Civilization Site and is an ongoing effort to give the Civ community an interactive voice on Civilization modding; its sibling show PolyCast focuses on Civ strategy. To date, ACS is the only community on the web to produce its own Civilization podcasts.

- 02m30s | Code Corner
  We talked about AIAutoPlay by jdog5000, Enhanced City Size by Mylon, and Holy Wars by Kailric.

I really enjoyed this episode. Main features (to me) were the humor and John/jkp1187's Events mod. Verrrry Interesting.

I have made many XML changes to several files for my CusomAssets folder so the game aligns more with MY preferences. Because I don't know how mods interact with such changes, I haven't been playing mods (though I dabbled in Final Frontier a couple games ago). To mod a 'mod' I presume you have to make changes to that mod's files (into the mod's CustomAssets), and my changes have been so many over time that I balk at all the work it would involve.

These modcasts are beginning to grow on me. I have never been one to use mods much, but these modcasts are introducing me things I would never have considered otherwise. I hope you guys can keep this up -- it could prolong the replayability of Civ4 almost indefinitely.

And don't forget the merge mod with jdog5000's Revolution:

NextWar: Revolutions....

It was a very good episode. I really liked the detail about jdog5000's AIAutoPlay. I ended up getting a hold of him after I heard the podcast to see about integrating it in my mod.
