SLIC: BeginScheduler

FRITZ · January 28, 2002, 16:15

Dear fans of CTP2,

I have made one Slic-Handler for the game.
Slic is a very, very interesting tool to make a good scenario. You can download the BeginScheduler-Handler from my Homepage:
http://home.t-online.de/home/dteetz/
The Handler looks for great enemy armies and these will attack your cities and armies.
I have taken my informations to build this Handler from Dales AirMoveHandler and the Slic-informations from Locutus (very helpful was to control a Slic-code by the message-box).

I have also built in this Handler into my scenario.

I hope everything works better than before.

Activision has created a very, very good game with many possibillities to create a good scenario.

Best wishes

Fritz

Code:

messagebox 'EveryTurn' {
Show();
Text(ID_DROUGHT_TEXT);
Button(ID_EXIT)
{
kill();
}
}

What should i right to this message? Could you give me an idea?

PHP Code:


messagebox 'EveryTurn' {

Show();

Text(ID_DROUGHT_TEXT);

Button(ID_EXIT){

kill();

}

}

So far no real idea Pedrunn. But maybe the error lies in your language folder. By the way an error message would be very helpfull.

I used the messagebox to check my code.

If you have some own code-check, than you should have not a German data folder but an English one.

I'm playing a 10 civs game, huge map and pollution on. I have a lot of Slics and many changes.
While playng i always had game crashs after turn 40 or later. When i load it again through Autosave it would continue the game as nothing had happenned but after some turns: more crashs again.

I looked my Slics and your code was the only one untested. I just took it off and BINGO! No more crashs!

Did you test it? Did you experienced the same problems?

If not you should take a look.
My opinion is that it has something to do with the barbarians since the time crashs starts is time they usually appear.

Maybe you could change the number of players in the Slic-code. But I am not a very skilled slic-code programmer at the present time. I tested the slic-code myself only 10-20 rounds maybe that there is a mistake somewhere. Slic-programming is a hard work.
Maybe I should use the array g.player instead of player[i].

I I missed this. In most cases you should use g.player, if you don't want to have any problems with DebugSlic=Yes. If the event does contain a player variable then it can be used.

But actual I am bumping this thread, because I would like to see your SLIC: BeginScheduler in the new Apolyton Directory CTP2 Modifications Text and SLIC category .
