Extend Game Time?

[Malt]

Hi,

How can you edit the game to make it possible to play past 2600 AD?

I thought it would be in EndGameObjects, but it wasnt?

Thanks

[Malt]

Also, is it possible to make the map larger?

I tried to using Map.txt, i changed the gigantic sized one's paramaters

## Super Large Map

MAP_SIZE 72 144 {
# Very Large(Gigantic) Map - 0% Continents/Islands
{
MAP_NUM_CONTINENTS 50
MAP_MIN_WIDTH 4
MAP_MIN_HEIGHT 4

But in game it didnt make any difference.

Can anyone help?

To change the map size look for the file Const.txt in ...\ctp2_data\default\gamedata and the part:

#
# These map size settings must all be defined,
# and in this order
#
MAP_SIZE_SMALL		26	52	2
MAP_SIZE_MEDIUM		48	96	2
MAP_SIZE_LARGE		64	128	2
MAP_SIZE_GIGANTIC	70	140	2

Change the first two numbers on the any line.

[Malt]

Thanks for that

So theres no way to extend the time limit past 2600ad?

I can't really remember if there's any complications involved here but END_OF_GAME_YEAR is set in Const.txt and, if you want to tinker with the details of the TIME_SCALEs, they are set in DiffDB.txt (one for each difficulty level).

Thats what I was looking for Its one of the few things ive never changed.

[Malt]

Thanks for that one too.



Another question, and im sure ive seen someone ask it on here already (But when i went searching i coulndt find it)

How can you have more AI opponents in game?

[Maquiladora]

Actually i didnt notice but the turns thing was in the faq here http://apolyton.net/forums//showthre...threadid=38633

and the answer to the more AI is there too:

Q7 How to play with more than 8 opponents?
A7 Just open your userprofile.txt in your ..\ctp2_program\ctp\ directory.
At the top of that file you find the entry: NumPlayers=17. Just change the number there to a one of your choice, and you will start a game with that number of players.
As I know the max number is 29. I never was able to reload a game with more players.

you also should be able to add more players with the latest playtest by picking the number of players

[Malt]

I changed that line "NumPlayers="

But, it didnt work.

This is for a multiplayer game i shoud add.

It still wouldnt let me have more players.

[Maquiladora]

Then I doubt it works in MP mode. But its not recommended to play with more than a few AI's anyway in MP, because of resynchs.

[Fromafar]

Changing userprofile.txt will only work for single player.
For multiplayer, the code contains some hardcoded values (max 8 players, max 4 human players).

[Malt]

ok oh well.


Another question lol:

How do you use a custom map (Say, a world map) on multiplayer?

[Maquiladora]

I think you can play custom maps/scenarios in MP by moving the scenario save to the mp folder like into "...\ctp2_program\ctp\save\mp\worldmap", then go to load a MP game and load the scen save. Im pretty sure this works.
