In the XML directories I have included stripped down copies of the regular XML files, I have changed the CIV4 prefix with MB to make those files easily identifiable. In the Python files I have added #< Military Bases Start > and #< Military Bases End > in all of the places that I have made changes to the original files. I have included a copy of the updated source code, provided by talchas, in the "C++ source (changed files only)" directory. All I ask is that you give me credit. -----Version Information----- -----v0.3w------ - Updated to be compatible with Warlords v2.0.8.0 patch. -----v0.2.x------ - Finished documenting the code. - Updated readme to remove references to using fortify as the way units get experience. - Integrated Talchas action button 2.0 code - Removed commerce bonus from base since it confuses the AI. Reported by Lanthanide -----v0.1------ - Initial re-creation of the Military Bases Mod infrastructure - Added the drill sergeant unit to the mod. - Added the configurable option allowing players to specify if drill sergeants are required for training units. - Added the configurable option allowing players to specify how many units can be trained by a drill sergeant. - Added the configurable option allowing players to specify if units should gain experience randomly or not. - Added the configurable options allowing players to specify if the amount of experience should be capped and at what level it should be capped. - Added the configurable options allowing players to specify which military bases should be enabled in the mod. - Added the configurable option allowing players to specify how much bonus experience points drill sergeants provide when they are not required but are used to train units. - Added the configurable option allowing players to specify the base amount units gain when their training is successful. - Re-integrated the different military bases: army base, navy base and airforce base - Added the train unit action button - Added the code to train units and hooked up the train unit action button. -----To Do----- - Extend the specialist, building and unit schemas to allow adding 0 or more special text. This way we can indicate that a specialist, building, or unit has special functionality built in that is provided through python and not just XML. -----===Credits & Thanks===----- -Exavier Composite Mod - readme.txt format -Stone-D SD Toolkit - Dr Elmer Jiggle For providing the INI file parser code allowing for players to customize this mod without having to touch the python code!!! - Talchas For providing the Action Buttons 2.0 mod - White Rabbit For the excellent drill sergeant model
