When I tried to add a new improvment, I did the following steps. 1) Building.txt 2) Unit.con 3) BuildBuildList 4) gl_str.txt 5) Great library.txtI do exactly what you told me (For sure). However, the game dont even work. Here's the DataBase error window pops up buildingbuildtxt 639. Expected string ID buildingbuildtxt 639. warning:require field Product Cost missing buildingbuildtxt 639. warning:require field Upkeep Cost missing Unable init the Data bases |

What means the line "ATABASE_CONCEPTS,CONCEPT_PRODUCTION>"in GreatLibrary.txt? The correct line must be: "ATABASE_CONCEPTS,CONCEPT_PRODUCTION>". You cut "".By the way you can skip the line: {BuildingDB(Building[0]).HappyInc}ATABASE_CONCEPTS,CONCEPT_HAPPINESS>HappinessThere is no line in Building.txt like: HappyInc. Line numbers would also help us. You can use an Editor that display line numbers like edit.exe located in your C:\windows\command\ folder. -Martin

Leonli Please reread my post in the instructions...IMPORTANT NOTE; You need to leave the line of text Description DESCRIPTION_IMPROVE_ to something that is already in the game. I believe it is a holdover from CTP1, but if you change that line to your new addition, it will not work. At least I haven't been able to get it to work. It does not affect gameplay though. Change your entry Description DESCRIPTION_IMPROVE_SEWER_SYSTEM to Description DESCRIPTION_IMPROVE_MOVIE_PALACE Movie Palace is part of the default setup. I had made the same mistake when first attempting to add buildings/governments/units. The instructions that were given to me did not include that bit of info. I almost gave up at that point. As it appears, your problems are the same. Make the change and the game should launch. The files for units/wonders/governments also have the same type of line of text. Immortal Wombat also has a possible workaround to this problem, which he had posted in the thread where my instructions are, though I haven't tried it yet. Martin The DATABASE error was due to a mistake on my part, but this forum did not recognize the particular sequence of text on that line. You will see the same error on your post. The word DATABASE is showing up as ATABASE. I had attemped to edit my earlier post to bypass that discrepency, but I must of missed that additional character. Bottom line - when making your additions to your files, cut and paste from the existing file, not from this post. |

Oops, just re-read hexagonias post, and he has mentioned my workaround. It works for me fine. The junk_str.txt is just what it says - junk. It doesn't affect gameplay, so any additions can't hurt. [This message has been edited by Immortal Wombat (edited March 20, 2001).] |

To hexagonianAfter looking at your reply and the works on your modification, I fixed my mistakes. As for the game, it works perfectly . As for Martin Gühmann sugestion, It helps to fix problems on the Great Liberly text. |

What I did was limit my alterations to my wonders to those that are available in other wonders. I had tried to make a unit have a bonus against a city, but was not able to do it because in was an entirely new ability. Short of creating some SLIC though...I think Wes has something tied into Wonders with units, so you could drop him an email asking about it. You could possibly give Sun Tzus the bonus of additional hitpoints to units, as this is what the Genome Project does. This would accomplish preety much the same thing. |

No, the Genome Project only gives health bounus to all of your friendly units. It does not give bouns hitpoint. However, i know that pikemem can have bouns hitpoint vs mounted units, so does all vetern units have 50% effectiveness when attack. I think i have to chick and see if i can give the same funtion to the wonders. [This message has been edited by leonli316 (edited March 21, 2001).] |
