CSPL: Towards a new Macro-Language?
Hello all,
It seems to me that a lot of people finds CSPL really interesting but "a bit difficult" to learn.
I'm wondering if a possible solution could be to create a Macro-Language from CSPL, i mean, imagine a normal CSPL program which instead of following a pre-coded sequence of orders, reads instructions (with a syntax similar to standard events.txt) from a text file (maybe CSPL.txt?) and executes them.
This seems a good idea to me because, in that way, serious scenario designer may still use CSPL in the hard way to obtain new events while others may access a limited-version of CSPL without having to learn a row of C++.
I don't have a lot of free time right now (even if, i could use time i planned to spend watching World Cup matches...you know, if one wants to watch a pre-written story usually goes to the cinema... soccer is another thing, oops, sorry 'was' another thing ...) and i'm not a scenario designer so i had no idea about which events to insert into this macro language and about the syntax it will use.
So what about discussing here which events you consider interesting and also about the macro language syntax?
When i'll have more time, i'll take your conclusions and i'll start to implement the macro engine in CSPL (again, this probably will not be very soon, so take it easy), or maybe some other CSPL programmer will start to implement it, anyway, i think it's imperative to start defining the events you would like to have in the new language.

It'd be nice to see a macro language for those who don't know C/C++. After taking a semester of C++, It's not too difficult for me to whip up an awesome event with the CSPL library.
If you were to add just to the library, I'd like to see an interface with technologies. That way I could add and take technologies which would also allow me to set and unset flags inside the events.txt itself. This would make it so the program could interact with the events file in a round-about way.
As for just a macro language, I'm sure there's a number of pre-designed events that people would like to see. Since I can use the library and C++ I don't have any complaints so I can't think of any macro design right now

1. An event where two units can't kill one another
2. A CITYBUILT type of trigger:
@IF
CITYBUILT
cityname=whatever
owner=whoever
@THEN
whatever
3. A trigger that performs an action when a trade route is established between some city and another

Wish list
Angelo, C++-challenged ToT designers everywhere celebrate 'We love the new possiblities day'. My own wish list is:
1) Most of the examples in the documentation. (Darth did you ever try to compile the artillery example?). Leave out the Geobuilder until there is popular demand.
2) An Attrition action, like the one you emailed. Units ending their turn in a particular type of terrain lose strength. Arguments could include unit type, terrain type, health lost. For a kicker, allow the designer to set a negative health lost.
3) A KillUnit or HurtUnit action. Arguments could include unit type, xyz coordinates (in a rectangle), health lost.
4) Something like the ChangeTerrain action, but changing only the passable/impassable toggle of a terrain. Arguments: terrain type, impassable or passable.
5) Oobir's CityBuilt trigger is a good one. Arguments could also include a map rectangle and the unit type that builds.
When can I beta test? Seriously though, how much free time do you have for this project? That would define the length of our wish list.

Some ideas . . .
But I must say that I'm still a little sketchy on what the capabilities will be. Are you just talking about new events triggers and effects? If so, then I have some ideas.
1.) I'd like an event that transferred ownership of a city from one civ to a specified other civ.
2.) I'd like to also see a destroy-a-city event too.
3.) It would also be convenient to have an event that performed the same function as the global warming--changing terrain.
4.) I'd really like to see an event that created more than one unit. Like an event that created a dozen or even more units.
5.) It would be nice to have an event that destroyed/eliminated a certain, specified unit type, all over the map.
6.) It would be a LOT of fun to have an event that caused a civil war, especially so that it could be precisely scheduled. I'm referring to a civilization split that occurs when an AI capital falls to attack and there are only 6 civs in the game. Might as well add that I'd like to be able to then specify the resultant civ names and colors too.
I'll think of more directly, but these are the ones that came right off the top of my head.

Great news, Angelo! My list:
1. unit killed or bribed > new unit(s) of another type created in the same square or nearby
2. attrition (Boco's idea)
3. units not always killed as a result of combat
4. supply lines to avoid attrition
5. transfer of city ownership (Exile's idea)
6. Leonardo's Workshop effects for more than one civ
Exile, Test of Time already has multi-unit creation event: up to 255 units in up to 10 locations in ONE event.

Yeah, that's got my vote as well. But what arguments? Could start with UnitKilled parameters. I like tying it in with Techumseh's #1 (create another unit - same or different type - created in the same square or adjacent square). Then allow some control over the health of the new unit.
As far as resupply, I'd be happy with either supply units, a resupplyling 'terrain' (even airbases or fortresses), or a supply line (x squares to a city). That last one could be tough to program.
This is going to be one active thread, Angelo!

While I won't ever be able to use this program (I'm on a mac) here are some suggestions anyway: - A way to make sure that ships cannot repair themselves above the first "yellow" while at sea, for this they will have to be in ports.
For 100% repairment they must be in cities with port facilities.
- A way to make unit support cost money?
As well as a way to make disbanding units cost money (or whatever other trigger you want).
These things would be great for a 17th century scenario (well the ship thing would be great for all kinds of scenarios since it's simply more realistic).
- A way to make peace between civs via events (I'm not sure but I think this can be done in ToT allready).
- A way to use the "copy another kings tech" via events.
- Would it be possible to bring up an event with a yes and no button (or even more buttons)?
With different things as result.
For example "Nation A has just been invaded by nation B, do you wish to support nation A, B or stay neutral."
(there will be lots of way more advanced ways of using this for sure).
- A way to determine the comodity of newly created caravans.
- A way to make units cost food and population witout being settlers.
- An "Anycity" or "Anyunit" for the unit killed/city taken triggers.
- A way to make the AI build certain things in it's cities (you would define the cities (either as one, or several, ie: City=London, Newcastle, Birmingham) in question or use "anycity")
Now I don't have the slightest idea of what this program is capable of, but those are some nice things I would want to be able to do with civ.

Darth, you're right, i've to update the library too (i've a list of new features i would like to add apart from yours), but maybe implementing this macro engine is the way to test the library i was searching for.
Coming back to the engine discussion, it seems to me that there's a lot of work to do...
Some of events you described are very easy to implement, some others are difficult (without updating a bit the library), while others are (up to now) impossible to obtain even with CSPL.
The events i think will be (nearly) impossible to implement actually are:
- Changing Passable/impassable toggle (Boco) : Since i don't know where this info is stored this one is impossible, maybe in a future library update i'll add this one but with the current library it's not feasible.
-Global Warming-on-demand (Exile): I mean, it's very easy to trigger a standard global warming, but if you mean something similar to a whole-map version of change terrain i think it's difficult if not impossible to implement it: what parameters you think are necessary, and which syntax? (i don't know, a list of = which means that TerrainType1 tiles will be transformed into TerrainType2 tiles? or what else?)
- Civil War (Exile): Again, here the problem are the parameters: how can one chose which cities became of a civ and which stays with the old owner? With CSPL is feasible (and easy) to create a similar event but we must think a way to discriminate if a City stays with the old civ or not.
- unit bribed -> new units (Techumseh): Actually CSPL cannot detect the bribing of a unit (while the unit killed->new unit event is ok)
- units not always killed after a combat (Techumseh): The problem here is that CSPL cannot override standard Tot combat routines, this means that we may be able to bring back to life a unit after a battle if we want, but this probably is not the way you intended.
- Leonardo Workshop's for more civs (Techumseh): This is feasible but i can't imagine its syntax, it's an event which enable Leonardo effect for a particular civ? and exactly how works Leonardo Workshop? (i mean, mechanically how can CSPL detect units types to upgrade? shall it check into Rules.txt?)
- Disbanding units cost money (Henrik): CSPL is not able to detect the disbanding of a unit
- Event with Yes/No button: It exists in CSPL so it's not difficult to insert it in the engine, but for multiple (>2) selections, well this is unfeasible with current library (even if this is one of the top-most in my CSPL-TO-DO list) so i don't think i'll put it into (it's feasible but hard to code, better wait to insert it into the library and then upgrade the engine)
- Units costing foods and populations (not settlers) (Henrik): Yes, this is feasible but you've to be careful because CSPL will subtract food at the end of each turn while Tot will not show you that the unit is costing you food (so you may see your food decrease turn after turn even if your city screen shows that you have a +5 surplus)
- Forcing AI Building list (Henrik): I've no idea, it depends how AI reacts to CSPL changing its orders, maybe it get stuck with new building orders or not, anyway, i need to test it
Are you sure you can't think a way to turn around limitations i described?
As for timing, the situation is the following: i need to pass 2 exams during this summer, if i succeed in passing them before August (but it's very unlikely, they're big and difficult), i'll have all the free time i need to complete the engine, but in case i pass just one of them (more realistic), i don't think i'll find the time to work on the engine, maybe i'll start it, and insert in it easier events, but nothing more than that.

Not sure just how on-topic this is, but . . .
Responding to Techumseh's idea about killed units generating, via an event, another unit nearby; I had thought of something like this for WWII era scenarios. The idea was to create battlegroups, the remnants of units destroyed in combat. It was often the practice to take cadres of dissipated units and construct entirely new organizations around these remnants. This could be done pretty easily with an event that created battlegroups. The bg unit would have a high shield cost, but could not be produced, and would have a 0 attack factor. It's only use would be to disband in a city, thereby assisting the creation of a new unit.
Ok, now back to topic.
Angelo, for both the Civil War and Global Warming events, I'd be happy with the random results that are already part of the game engine. Changing these would be a task easily set aside for some later date.

I haven't coded these things manually in ages, so my naming conventions are probable a little off.

How about the following types of triggers:
2 additional optional parameters for the UNITKILLED trigger (much like Boco suggested)
@IF
UNITKILLED
unit= name of defending unit
attacker= attacking civilization name
defender= defending civilization name
attackerunit= [name of attacking unit]
maprect= [x1,y1,x2,y2,x3,y3,x4,y4]
@THEN
Moving specific units into a specific location trigger
@IF
UNITLOCATION
unit= name of unit
owner= civilization name
maprect= x1,y1,x2,y2,x3,y3,x4,y4
@THEN
Both will need to work with the JustOnce modifier.

A souped-up CreateUnit action
Techumseh et al., you can make some comment about my grasp of the obvious , but your wish for "units not always killed after a combat" can be accomplished with an enhanced CreateUnit action. The trigger could either a UnitKilled (hopefully enhanced as suggested by Catfish) or a CityTaken event. The keys to enhancement are:
1) positioning the new unit in a square defined relative to the trigger, not in absolute map coordinates. This could allow a new unit to be created in or close to the eliminated unit's square. If the unit type is the same, it appears as though the original unit was never eliminated, merely weakened and/or retreated. CSPL would have to check whether the square is occupied by another civ, though.
2) allowing the Health of the new unit to be adjustable.
In addition, if the original "Unit=" and "Owner=" arguments are retained, you'd have the ability to create, say, 'Kampfgruppe', 'Partisans', or 'Deserters' units. Though some of these ideas are already available via the partisan rule or Leo, doing it via CSPL allows much more flexibility.
Angelo, would such an action occur immediately after the trigger? If a defending unit is killed, could the new unit be created before the attacking civ moves other units?

Actually, Angelo did make this work for me some time ago, when I was experimenting with concepts Mike Dauman thought of respecting food requistions in the Russian Civil War. The idea was that if you bribed a peasant unit, you got a food caravan, and if you killed it, you got hostile partisans in adjacent squares.
The main use of units not always killed after combat might be for bombardment type units such as artillery, ships and aircraft. If they miss or otherwise fail to destroy the target, there shouldn't necessarily be any adverse effect on them. I think the easiest way to do this is to recreate certain types of destroyed attacking units in the same location, but with some damage, and with that turns' movement used up.

Some more ideas:
1) An event that allows you to exchange and\or combine unit roles:
@IF
xxxxxx
@THEN
ChangeRoles
unit=xxxx
from=##
to=##
(and=##)
2) Load graphics and\or events files without having to use a batch file:
@IF
Turn=x
@THEN
LoadGraphics
file=xxxxxx.bmp
(or)
LoadEvents
file=eventsx.txt

That may be possible with the existing library, the only problem is that one would have to reload the game to get the changes.
On your first change, it would have to be exacted every time the scenario loads because it wouldn't save the changes to the file.

Bad news...
Unfortunately DarthVeda discovered that Attack thread doesn't work as expected when used in (minimally) complex events.
This means that probably, with this version of the library, all events triggered by UnitKilled events couldn't be realized (There's the risk that CSPL catch 1 battle for each 10/100/1000 and this is not something you want to use in your scenarios)
A possible temporary solution could be to find a way to make CSPL get/set Tot events Flags, in this way you could use standard events (and standard UNITKILLED trigger, sadly no enhanced version ) to interact with CSPL events but this will require a library update.

Alex, i'm afraid i've not fully understood your first event, what is unit role? i guess it's somewhere in the rules.txt and if it's so...
DV is right, the problem here is that i need to find where Tot places binary bitmap data from bmp files and currently i've no idea about their memory location.
The first event probably is easier (but just because rules.txt is easier to find in memory since it's text) but it anyway requires a library update (to insert correct memory addresses)
Thank you for your help, this thread will be very useful.
Greetings,
Angelo

The only thing I can suggest is taking enormous emounts of time going through ToT with a debugger seeing where in memory the rules are stored once loaded. But I doubt this would even be possible.

I like the idea of relative positions for creating unit events,
like this: the Borg has been assimilated a unit.
The new Borg unit should be created at the same position as the killed defender.

This is exactly how i wrote CSPL

Wish list - Mostly reprinted from "Firaxis, why didn't you include this sort of thing in Civ3 - Part 24" or somesuch similar name.
Apologies in advance if any of this is already possible with CSPL. I'm still learning. Some of it has already been mentioned above too.
*
I'd like to add the ability to locate a unit on the map as well, ie: with a (eg) triggerattacker/unitkilled set by a particular unit, that units co-ordinates can be identified and used in the followup effects.
Plus, please fix triggerattacker so that it resets after the event and doesn't remain locked for the rest of the game - ala the Verne scenario in FW
Also it would be nice to be able to alter unit statistics or city improvements through events, rather than having to save, exit, run batch-file, load save.
ie: researching depleted U shells or somesuch can add 1 to attacking values of arty, armour etc, or techresearched=invisibility gives all/selected units for a certain civ the tot "invisible until attacks" flag on.
Basically - Add in every possible flag/trigger/conditional that you can think of, and then think up new ones and add them too!
*
And
*
Actions :-
CREATE/DESTROY RESOURCE would be absolutely invaluable in an events file with the importance of strategic resources
CHANGE OWNER for units/cities - used to represent defections/rebellions etc. (also allow the barbarian flag for these - ie: units going "rogue").
MAKE PEACE/ALLIANCE - Similar to current MAKEAGGRESSION (only the other way around ) - highly useful for changing the political climate in scenarios without negotiation permitted.
INCREASE/DECREASE POPULATION - To represent special events/attacks on cities
Triggers :-
UNIT ATTACKED - to enable special effects BEFORE combat resolution and to possibly invalidate combat resolution.
CITY ATTACKED - Same as above
Conditions :-
IMPROVEMENT/WONDER PRESENT - Associated with CITY ATTACKED above. Effectively a flag for special effects if a certain improvement/wonder is present in the particular city attacked.
UNITKILLED - Allow this condition to enable if a unit is killed by a special (ie: nuclear) attack. Currently (civ2/ToT) nuclear attacks do not enable UNITKILLED.
OR Statement - Enable this for TRIGGERATTACKER UNIT= or OWNER= such that near identical events do not have to be completely repeated for different units/civilizations, thus freeing up valuable event space.

Last week when I was working on my scenario I saw something interesting:
Without reloading a saved file, Tot has updated several changes at the rules.txt(improvement costs, movementpoints) I made when testing the scen.
But this update did not happen every turn.
So it could be possible to activate this routine at every turn by an patch or so. Then you can use a change
*.txt or *.gfx event.
Additional my questions are: Has anybody seen this before.
Who knows a program that can check this access(log accesstime).
Another Trigger ideas

Just to surrender and fail in the other one...
News: still nothing to report, probably the macro language will have an XML syntax (so i don't have to write a buggy parser from scratch but i can re-use a stable one);
but i've still have to investigate the structure of the language.
Basically we need :
-User defined variables
-Logic operators to use with multiple triggers (AND,OR,NOT)
-Multiple actions in action section
I'm trying to find a way to manage these in XML in an easy way (the whole thing will be useless if the language is more difficult than using C/C++ directly...) without writings tons of tags
Greetings,
Angelo
