  6. Technology Tree [Ready to use]

    Why is the phase listed at the left, above the costs? To me this suggest the costs are the phase's, instead of the technology. Besides, isn't the phase a requirement, so shouldn't it be displayed there?

    One could make strange technology pair where one technology needs phase 1 and another phase 2. I originally thought about giving it to middle, but I liked it this way on the left.

    Insufficient space to display the civ summary history (top); and why is it displayed here anyway?

    To fill empty space (no but really, I did not like that empty space there so I put it there)

    This technology tree is structure based: if a certain technology is researched at three different structures, it is listed under all three, but each time with a different structure as a “requirement”, while in reality a technology can only be researched once; it doesn't matter at which structure (or unit).

    Structure tree also shows one technology across all buildings and one could think it is not the same technology and can be researched more than one time. However I may remove building from requirement section and put all buildings to can be researched from section (less confusing)

    Perhaps include civ bonuses and other autoresearched technologies as well somewhere? And team bonuses (auras)?

    In that case I can make whole new window connecting all things together, but I need some new design.

    But is that important to compare these two techs on a single screen?

    From my perspective yes. Because you are choosing between these two strictly. It is option 1 or option 2.

    I didn't mean to add it to the structree window itself, but to the dialog that opens after clicking on a tech.

    I wanted to avoid changing structree at all but that is good idea. :)

    Actually it is kind of hardcoded in mainmenu.xml for every new subwindow opened so I gues not such wrong as you need to change that file for adding new item to submenu. And I fixed it :). 

     

    Well it is structure tree thats why second window. Maybe it could be merged somehow to one page if someone feels it would be good. However design of structure tree does not fit in this exploring tree idea and vice versa. 

     

    For me purpouse of structure tree is to show all possible structures and for what purpouse they are in game.

     

    The reason I thought this would be nice to have (at least like mod)  is that you can see which technologies do you need to unlock one selected and you also see what needs this one to be able to research. And you can compare (see) difference between paired technologies without need to look for the second one.

     

    Reason why buildings are in this is just to keep graph (kind of) as small as possible to prevent scroling from left side to right and to kind of organise different technologies. 

     

    Another reason to display just one technology requirments and unlocks is to avoid connecting lines which would at some point go from one end of screen to the opposite and it could be hard to find out which things are really connected.

    Well, you inherit them from template_structure_civic_house :) ( I do not check for civ requirements, maybe I should ) so they are there because can be researched from that building. But I try to fix it.

     

    @wowgetoffyourcellphone but looks like ushites/unlock_citizens_house does not have requirements.

    kushites/unlock_citizens_house : ({name:{generic:"Civic Festival", internal:"kushites/unlock_citizens_house"}, icon:"technologies/wives_festival_nubian.png", description:"A festival attended by women-only, to celebrate female fertility. For example, the Thesmophoria was a festival held in Greek cities, in honor of the goddess Demeter and her daughter Persephone. The name derives from thesmoi, or laws by which men must work the land. The Thesmophoria were the most widespread festivals and the main expression of the cult of Demeter, aside from the Eleusinian Mysteries. The Thesmophoria commemorated the third of the year when Demeter abstained from her role of goddess of the harvest and growth; spending the harsh summer months of Greece, when vegetation dies and lacks rain, in mourning for her daughter who was in the realm of the Underworld. Their distinctive feature was the sacrifice of pigs. Whereas Bona Dea (or The Good Goddess) was a divinity in ancient Roman religion. She was associated with chastity and fertility in women, healing, and the protection of the Roman state and people. Her rites allowed women the use of strong wine and blood-sacrifice, things otherwise forbidden them by Roman tradition. Men were barred from her mysteries and the possession of her true name. The goddess had two annual festivals. One was held at her Aventine temple and the other was hosted by the wife of Rome's senior annual magistrate, for an invited group of elite matrons and female attendants.", reqs:false, modifications:(void 0), affects:(void 0), replaces:(void 0), cost:{time:60, food:300, wood:0, stone:0, metal:0, glory:200}, tooltip:"Unlock the ability to train Citizens from houses.", requirementsTooltip:"Requires 4 houses to be built.", supersedes:(void 0)})

    I am releasing Technology Tree. Anyone who wants can integrate it to his mod, or use this mod as dependency if files are not conflicting. 

    Compatible with all mods not changing gui/reference/common/load, helper and mainmenu.xml. (should be all mods which are out, not sure about fgod)

    With DE works if this mod is the last one, but you loose something from mainmenu (not sure what).

     

    You can explore all technology trees, which are researched from structures.

    If you select technology, which is paired, the second choice will be displayed on the right.

    Supersedes are considered as requirements.

    Phase is set as minimum from all buildings that can research it and then max from needed technologies and phase given by buildings.

    By clicking on structure, the row with starting technologies (they have no requirement which is from this building) is refreshed based on that structure.

    You can choose any technology by clicking on it.

    You move in tree by clicking on requirements, paired technologies or unlocks.

    If some unit has some technology as requirement, it will be displayed under that technology ( you can click on that unit to open traditional viewer).

    @Glestul have you ever played another multiplayer game? There is still option to create an account even users are allowed to have just one. Why do you think that this button should be disabled? There is clearly said one person cannot have more than one account and if someone creates first account, he/she agrees with Terms of Use and another terms.

     

    Disabling register button - not so good option:

    To disable option to register new user if there is one already would has to be based on data stored on user`s computer. Consider one computer in house and more people want to play at different time multiplayer in lobby. They would be forced to play under one account ( that is not good from any perspective ). Sure now they has to wait about hour to be able to create next account ( based on IP address ) but it is available for them.

     

    Active register button - is it really so confusing ? :

    When user already has one account registered and he/she uses it to enter lobby, next time he/she clicks multiplayer lobby option, there will be "Connect to Lobby" window not "Register or Login" window.

     

    Deleted accounts:

     You have been not asked which account to keep because it was not on you to choose. You are allowed to have one and moderators left one account for you (old one - well that one was legal).

    You can still enter the lobby and play multiplayer with that account so please stop complaining.

     

    Ban:

    As far as I know every ban makes the next one longer. If you do not know why you have been muted, ping moderators here on forum and ask them.

     

    Ignorantia juris non excusat

     

    Have a nice day :)

    Change spread in templates of range units and you will have no clue where arrow will land :) Detecting missile collision on fly is a bit harder to implement but there have been some discussion about it so maybe in some future. But I do not remember who was the one talking about it.

    8. Not undermine the intended gameplay or purposefully gain unfair advantages in multiplayer matches (for example cheating, using exploits or bugs).
     

    I think dancing on purpose is in categories of bugs, exploits which gives advantage to player, so no. Moving units from left to right constantly just to avoid arrow hits is cheating. Running your troops at some path or even changing their direction is fine but there has to be significant distance between that change. No one would move two steps left, right, forward, back just to avoid every arrow. Maybe one soldier to dodge one arrow but not group of soldiers to avoid tens of arrows. They had shields for that.

    I'm the one with two accounts he mentions nani and nani0 (for dev purposes) and recently  using nani0 bc user1 sometimes automutes me for non-offensive words so ...

    As you said dev purposes. 

     1. Only create one account per person on the service unless authorized by Wildfire Games.

    Correct me if I am wrong, does he use them for dev purposes? ( Or have been created because of that he needed to test something with multiple players?)

    No, you agreed with Terms before creating account and there is said that one person is not allowed to have multiple accounts. Correct me, did you just said you have/had 4 accounts?

    You say you want to change nickname but on the other hand you complain about fact you had to re-entroduce yourself again. Please do not be offended I just do not understand.

     

    And if you see someone with more nicknames as he/she should have and you are sure that it is one person, report him.
