Can the gurus help out on a small mystery?I have been trying to add CTP1 wonders to CTP2 in an exercise to see how everything works: I successfully added Stonehenge, complete with video. The video worked. Since then I have done other things and now the video does not work - there is just a brief flash of the (blank) video screen and that's it. Stonehenge is built though. I am b*****ed if I can work out what I did that upset it! All the CTP2 videos work, but not the CTP1. Btw: Can the Labryinth do the same thing in CTP2? The programming statements for wonders are different and so far I have been unable to find out how to get those free trade routes... |

I tried also to implement a CTP1 wonder the AI_ENTITY the video worked for me. The videos goes into the ..\ctp2_data\default\videos\ folder. Than you have to rename them. The name of the videos must be put in the uniticon.txt correctly. Otherwise CTP2 won't find them and the effect is an brief black screen.Now back to my AI_ENTITY wonder: I was only able to implement it half, because the AllCitiziensContent flag works but not the BreakDownChance flag. There I took a look into the ctp2.exe. The first flag can be found there but not the second one. You should solve the task to implement a wonder that allows free trade routes by the flag: FreeTradeRoutes -Martin PS: Here is a list of all program statement taken from the ctp2.exe that can be used in the wonder.txt. There are also unused ones. I don't know the effect of every statement, may be someone can explain what these statements effects: ProductionCost DefaultIcon Movie Description EnableAdvance ObsoleteAdvance ReduceReadinessCost ReduceReadinessCostValue EmbassiesEverywhere DecCrimePercent DecCrimePercentValue IncKnowledgePercent IncKnowledgePercentValue DecEmpireSize DecEmpireSizeValue IncHappinessEmpire IncHappinessEmpireValue CloseEmbassies ReformCities FreeSlaves IncConvertedCitiesFeePercent IncConvertedCitiesFeePercentValue GoldPerWaterTradeRoute GoldPerWaterTradeRouteValue GoldPerTelevision GoldPerTelevisionValue GlobalRadar SpiesEverywhere GoldPerInternationalTradeRoute GoldPerInternationalTradeRouteValue ProtectFromBiologicalWarfare PollutersToParks PollutersToParksValue EnableParkRangers ReduceWorldPollution ReduceWorldPollutionValue AllCitizensContent EliminateNukes AllBoatsDeepWater IncreaseBoatMovement IncreaseBoatMovementValue FreeTradeRoutes DecreaseMaintenance DecreaseMaintenanceValue RandomAdvanceChance RandomAdvanceChanceValue IncreaseHp IncreaseHpValue MultiplyTradeRoutes MultiplyTradeRoutesValue ForcefieldEverywhere IncreaseScientists IncreaseScientistsValue OtherCivRandomAdvanceChance OtherCivRandomAdvanceChanceValue IncreaseProduction IncreaseProductionValue BonusGold BonusGoldValue IncreaseFoodAllCities IncreaseFoodAllCitiesValue TemporaryFullHappiness TemporaryFullHappinessValue RevoltingCitiesJoinPlayer NoPollutionUnhappiness EmbassiesEverywhereEvenAtWar IncreaseSpecialists IncreaseSpecialistsValue IncreaseCathedrals IncreaseCathedralsValue IncreaseBrokerages IncreaseBrokeragesValue IncreaseRegard IncreaseRegardValue PreventConversion ProtectFromBarbarians StartGaiaController GLHidden BuildingEverywhere BuildingEverywhereValue PollutionPercent PollutionPercentValue PollutionAmount PollutionAmountValue

Do you have all the flags from the units.txt files and are there any extras that have not been used in the game, but are present in the .exe file? I'm looking for a flag that I can use in the unit.txt file that is not already in use. I can make do with an existing one, but would rather not. |

I posted in the CTP2-Help forum some documentation help requests about the feat.txt, the advance.txt and for you hexagonian the unit.txt. I used edit++ to take a look into the ctp2.exe and I found the stattements there. And there are some unused flags for example the flags which deals with land, sea and space mines.Here is the forum list: ../../Forum43/HTML/000540.html ../../Forum43/HTML/000538.html ../../Forum43/HTML/000536.html -Martin
