ffm_visibility mod

[sarcoma]

Rest of civs changed. Ptol bolt reverts back to default when shooting.

ffm_visibity.zip

[ffm2]

Maybe someone has a clue, how to change the last 3 relic names. My main branch don't has the bolt shooter changes, since i have no problems spotting them.

[nani]

simple, do a search for the names on the public mod to see where the heros names are defined then change

[ffm2]

Take Cassivellaunus for example. This version is what appears in my game. When i grep that string (ignoring occurrences in long texts), I can only find it in the pl, nl, cs translations. Changing it there has no effect. In template brit_catafalque.xml its in the Cassiuellaunos version (with an u instead of a v [what i see on the screen]).

[hyperion]

So Cassiuellaunos is the source string and with your language settings the displayed string is Cassivellaunus. Just change the source string should what you want, meaning the string can't be translated any-more and should be displayed as-is

[ffm2]

The string "Cassiuellaunos" appears only in simulation/templates/units/brit_catafalque.xml (ignoring all tranlation files). Changing <SpecificName>Cassiuellaunos</SpecificName> has no effect, in my game its still Cassivellaunus. I disabled all othes mods that could interere.

[hyperion]

Just checked my a23 public.zip and there it's <SpecificName>Cassivellaunus</SpecificName> while it's changed in svn to <SpecificName>Cassiuellaunos</SpecificName>. So maybe you have both installed (or leftover artefacts) and somehow this results in this unexpected behaviour?

What is your locale set to? One of pl, nl, cs?

[ffm2]

That was it. Got the release version of en_GB, changed the names there and now it works. Thanks

[ffm2]

Works on a24 now

[Langbart]

Thanks, I always have trouble seeing these chickens without your mod.

Your mod has been slightly extended by adding two files to make the fish red. ("animal_fish.dds" and "animal_fish_generic.png")

[ffm2]

good catch, will include it later

[nani]

ffm2 please make berries radioactive too, too hard to see in a24

 

Edit: i see you already did

I continued experimenting a bit more with your mod and changed the color for apples, figs, grapes and olives:

Spoiler

I only used Imagemagick with -modulate 1st: Brightness, 2nd: Saturation, 3rd: Hue (Source: imagemagick.org/Usage)

Apples

convert {filename} -modulate 111,200,80

• orchard_apple_a.dds
• tree_apple_a.dds
• tree_apple_bloom.dds

Grapes

convert {filename} -modulate 111,200,140

• grape_bushes.png
• bush_grapes.dds

PS: There is still a file called "bush_grapes.png" in your mod, but it was removed with rP22889

Figs

The texture skins for figs is also used for baobab trees, I work around it by adding the actor files (fig_top_a.xml and fig_top_b.xml) to your mod and changing the names of these textures. Therefore only figs have these bluish leaves and not normal wood baobab trees.

convert {filename} -modulate 111,200,170

• tree_figs_a.dds (called tree_carob_a.dds on SVN)
• tree_figs_b.dds (called tree_carob_b.dds on SVN)
• tree_figs_c.dds (called tree_carob_c.dds on SVN)

Olives

convert {filename} -modulate 111,200,100

• tree_olive_decal.png
• tree_olive.png

 

I'll take a look at metals/ore later and update this post. Ore and stone sometimes seem to be too interchangeable, for example in the "Mainland Temperate Biome". I think Delenda Est has some nice ores.

Edit1: fixed color of fig and baobab trees (use the same texture)

Edit2: In consultation with ffm2 I have created a derivative mod called boonGUI, which includes some additional changes.

Thanks for the mod. Is it intended that green apple trees are not touched?

[ffm2]

No intention, i just did the majority with what i had problems. Langbarts stuff looks good, just include that or change in that style whatever you like. Tbh. i didn't even play one game in a24 yet, just did a bare minimum a24 update here.

[Dakara]

up

[ffm2]

I will not update this mod as I think boonGUI mod can replace it.

Ok, I will make it compatible with A25 tomorrow and also add some features I implemented for @mysticjim's custom mod (NROC).

@ffm2 your mod was the one I experimented with first when I started making mods for 0AD. Thanks.

[ffm2]

I updated it as I play a bit again. Other mods do too much changes for me.
