Gambits Empire Builder 3.0

[13arrage]

Eh, how would that work with WML though?


Gambit, I'm trying to make and code my own 200x200 GEB map on 1.7., and I suddenly feel sympathy to whoever made the current one. You, I suppose? But I have to keep going, the Gang is tired of the other one, which we've played half a dozen games and god knows how much time on. Next step is ripping off your portal coding and then adding AI barbarians. Then trying to figure out an event to make all portals stop working on turn five. Which should be simple enough.

[Gambit]

Guilty.

If you go to userdata/Gambits_Empore_Builder/multiscen/template.cfg You will find macros for placing portals.

Code: Select all

#define NORMAL_TELEPORTER X Y
[item]
	x={X}
	y={Y}
	halo="halo/elven/ice-halo1.png:100,halo/elven/ice-halo2.png:100,halo/elven/ice-halo3.png:100,halo/elven/ice-halo4.png:100,halo/elven/ice-halo5.png:100,halo/elven/ice-

halo6.png:100,halo/elven/ice-halo7.png:100,halo/elven/ice-halo8.png:100,halo/elven/ice-halo9.png:100,halo/elven/ice-halo8.png:100,halo/elven/ice-halo7.png:100,halo/elven/ice-

halo6.png:100,halo/elven/ice-halo5.png:100,halo/elven/ice-halo4.png:100,halo/elven/ice-halo3.png:100,halo/elven/ice-halo3.png:100" 
	[/item]
[terrain]
x={X}
y={Y}
terrain="Wwf"
[/terrain]
#enddef

#define TELEPORTER_OPTION NAME X Y
[option]
message="{NAME} {X},{Y}
[command]
[teleport]
[filter]
x,y=$x1,$y1
[/filter]
x={X}
y={Y}
[/teleport]
[/command]
[/option]
#enddef

Placing the above at the begining of the scenario will allow you to place teleporters later on in your scenario. Example of that below:

Code: Select all

[event]
name=start
#########You can start editing here (places images with NORMAL_TELEPORTER)

{NORMAL_TELEPORTER 5 6}
{NORMAL_TELEPORTER 99 20}

#########Stop
[set_menu_item]
id=tele
description=_ "Teleport"
[show_if]
[have_unit]
side=$side_number
x,y=$x1,$y1
[filter_location]
terrain="Wwf"
[/filter_location]
[/have_unit]
[/show_if]

[command]
[message]
speaker=narrator
message="Where to?"
###########You can start editing here (Places the actual teleporters with TELEPORTER_OPTION)

{TELEPORTER_OPTION "Cheeseland" 5 6}
{TELEPORTER_OPTION "Your mom" 99 20}

###########Stop
[/message]
[/command]
[/set_menu_item]
[/event]

Every teleporter needs a {NORMAL_TELEPORTER} (each one needs an x and y coord) up top and a {TELEPORTER_OPTION} (each one needs a name, an x coord, and a y coord) inside of the message. I never made a template for "shielded" teleporters. All this code will be revamped in GEB 4 (Summer after 1.8 ). Players will [hopefully] be able to build their own. But only one per side unfortunatly.

And in GEB 5 (The summer after 1.10) players will be able to build their own with pretty much unlimited freedom thanks to the absolute rediculously amazing incredibleness of the [tunnel] tag which sadly could not make it in time for 1.8.

Also by GEB 4 I hope to have everything completely "macroed" and bug free.

Honestly though I have so many things I'd like to do this summer... and GEB is low on the list. Dynamica takes top priority. Prototype by September or else!

[13arrage]

I think I've got it, thanks. I'm tinkering with only making the teleports one way from the starting location, however, to make for more realistic expansion/reinforcements. I'm tinkering. Admittedly I'm mostly butchering what you've already got, but I'm doing basically the same thing anyway.


Will you wait for GEB 4 to convert it to the 1.7./1.8 server or will you convert 3.0 like it is?

[Gambit]

GEB 4.0 will be the 1.8 conversion (a minor thing really). With 4.1+ being new changes and what not. Though most changes will be refinements rather than completely new things.

[raleeha]

Hi. i want to know why icant play GEB at a single player game ?

[Gambit]

Can you be more specific as to the problem you're having?

[raleeha]

i tried to play a wesnoth single player geb game in offline mod but i couldnt do anything with my peasants. usually an rightclick to them shows an taskmenu of working methods. but in this case there was no option. im not sure how was the name of the single player geb game. im so sorry for my bad english and hoping to understand something

[Gambit]

I apologize. The single player mode is broken and will be removed in the next release. I will try to work on one player scenarios designed for local play.
Rhish had offered to work on the single player this summer. I've not heard from him recently, so I don't know if that offer will still stand when summer arrives.

In the meantime there is a fix for the single player which I have mentioned several times throughout the thread.
Currently unreleased patch for the single player.

[wesfreak]

A few glitches i found: 1.In a hut you can recruit a peasant for 3 gold, when it says in the description that you can use a mage to recruit one at 1 extra gold, so shouldn't it be 9? 2. You can't do anything in sand dunes or oasis, not even clear it. 3. when in water there isn't an option to fish, but there is supposed to be according to the help description. Also, what is the lunker?

[Gambit]

Bugs noted.

The lunker is a fishing term. It's like "the big one" for that lake, river, stream, whatever. Everyone talks about it, but it always gets away. Sometimes they even get named.

I found a bug: when you have negative gold the golem can't terraform anymore, through terraforming is for free...
happend while working on hills btw, don't know if it also affects other terrains

[Jothmein]

I am probably missing it, but where is the download for this??

[mnewton1]

You didn't miss it. It has apparently been taken off 1.8. You can still get it on 1.6 though/

[Gambit]

It just hasn't been uploaded to 1.8 yet.

I found a bug: when you have negative gold the golem can't terraform anymore, through terraforming is for free...

You'll find this is the case with all free terraforming. Gotta watch going negative.

[Telaron]

I have to say, I've never played this (sorry Gambit). I downloaded the 1.6 version, but I had a 1.7 then. I looked at the coding for it though. Some very intriguing code in there. I'll be looking for the 1.8 version.
