Russian City Center

[michael34]

Hello PZK. Finally I've got the self-defending City Center, ask me if you want to know the code. What I most wish now is that the Russian CC can produce citizens. Look at what I've tried:

(dbtechtreenode.csv)

// NAME,DISPLAYNAME,TOOLTIP,EPOCH,SLOT,BRANCH,ICON,MENU,ROW,COLUMN,HOST,PRODUCE,UPGRADE,TIME,FOOD,WOOD,STONE,GOLD,TIN,IRON,SALTPETER,OIL,URANIUM,TECHPTS,TTCIV,PREREQUISITES,SPECFLAGS

But the game crashes. Do you figure out how can i get it modded??
It will turn me crazy.

Citizen,text_Citizen_name,,1,0,,,0,1,0,CityCenter,Citizen,,5,50,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,,[],(None)
Citizen,text_Citizen_name,,1,0,,,0,1,0,RussianCityCenter,Citizen,,5,50,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,,[],(None)

I don't think you can you can just repeat this code with RussianCityCenter in. Perhaps thats why its crashing. Post the code of the self-defending city, might have something to do with that.

No, there have been long since i can't upgrade to Russian CC, the self-defensive cc i modded this week. Nevertheless, this is the code of the default city center:

[michael34]

I think the problem is that Russian CC is an upgrade, not a unit. Some time ago I was able to upgrade the CC tu Russian CC from the editor itself. As a matter of fact, I CAN upgrade the CC when playing, but I want it to can be done in the editor in order to force the AI to build Russian CityCenters.
Sorry if this all puzzles you.

[PzK]

This looks like the defence code to me

//Attack { latent = true; range = 4; reloadTime = 1; applyDamageTime = 0.5; damage = 20; missileName = "FireArrow"; angularRange = 360 }

Is that all on the same line? Because with // at the start it won' t be executed.

[michael34]

No, I don't want that line activated, only too lazy for deleting lol. I HAVE the self-defencing CityCenter (if you are interested, I'll provide you the code). Now what I want is to activate the Russian CC so that I may force the AI (Russian or other) to create Russian CityCenters. When I am playing, in the UI there is a button that allows me upgrade my OWN citycenters into Russian CC, but I want to activate it for the AI in the Editor. Some time ago when double-clicking the CC there were a button that allowed upgrade to Russian, but now the button says "No upgrades available"
Sorry I recognize I explain myself very badly in English. My CC automatically throws firearrows towards attacking troops, but i want play with default city centers against an AI that autobuilds Russian CityCenters.
Sorry if abusing of your patience.

[michael34]

Sorry PZK if I have behaved too roughly with you in my answers. This game and its illogical modding turns me angry! And thanks for your help.

[PzK]

Not at all, your questions/answers are fine. I'll get back to you to see if I can find anything.

[michael34]

Thanks PZK i'm perhaps too sensible to criticism or distrustful. I know it's easy quarrel with somebody yo talk to, but you cant see. well I has tried to copy the CC files in sdbtechtreenode.csv and db.upgradeunittypes and replace "CityCenter" for "RussianCityCenter", "tx_utn_rusCityCenter" and so on, but the game crashes. Please don't waste your spare time nor neglect your duties while helping me, I'm so whimsical lol. Thanks friend.

[michael34]

The Russian CC is an improvement, how can I force the code so that the AI can improve to Russian the CC from the edi¡tor? That is the question.

[PzK]

Sorry but I can't help you on this one, abit out of my depth. Hope you find the solution soon.
