0 A.D. Delenda Est Civ Choices Mod

https://github.com/JustusAvramenko/Delenda-Est-Civ-Choices-Mod

Adds the civ choices dialog allowing to select one of mutually exclusive technologies at the start of the match. In Delenda Est's case, it allows the training of 1 selected hero from the beginning of the match.

Based upon work by Alexander Olkhovskiy: https://github.com/AlexanderOlkhovskiy/0ad-civ-choices-mod

The first test civ is the Macedonians, the 4 heroes being:

Right now I'm having trouble. At first I tinkered with @fcxSanya's mod and couldn't get it to work, reasoning that it's pretty out of date deciding to tinker with Hyrule Conquest's code of the same files (based on Alexander's code). I get no error codes, but no buttons either, even though Alexander's mod and Hyrule Conquest work with Alpha 23.

Again, the files are out of date with Alpha 24, which is probably the major culprit. Any help from the community?

I believe I have all the files in place, there just needs to be some key edits that allude me.

Team devs are very busy right now, the best thing is gaibbsupport to add to the main game after our balance changes.

You could debug the code with warn ("message") to see what the code is doing, if you  haven't made that.

Ironically, I'm able to make it work in Hyrule Conquest:

I get nothing in that log.

BTW -- delenda est is a dependency as well.

I guess I should try D.E. then XD

Does it work with the version of Delenda Est for Alpha 23?

I'm trying to use the A24 session.js file

Here's my 2 cents, it's just an opinion: I was trying to make my own mod work with Alpha 24, but I ran into several problems. So I made everything compatible with A23 an voilá. Not saying that A24 is buggy, it's just that it switching everything back to the style of 23 was an easier solution in my case.

Sure, but I'm working on the A24 version of Delenda Est.

In your modified session.js file just replace

function init(initData, hotloadData)
{
	...
	if (hotloadData)
	{
		g_Selection.selected = hotloadData.selection;
		g_PlayerAssignments = hotloadData.playerAssignments;
		g_Players = hotloadData.player;

    initCivChoicesDialog();
	}

	// TODO: use event instead
	onSimulationUpdate();

	setTimeout(displayGamestateNotifications, 1000);
}

Ok, now I'm curious: who messed that up? Your Internet service provider? Bother them until they fix it. You are a paying customer afterall, and they have to provide the service that they said they would provide in exchange for your money.

Don't really want to spend 5 hours on the phone to be honest. Certainly not to be told "Have you tried turning it off and on again"

Ahhh thanks. So I place this line in the wrong spot.  

[wowgetoffyourcellphone]

@Stan` Thanks for your help! I think one more thing: Which value do I change to move the buttons upward off the HUD? 

I've been messing around with civ_choices_window.xml for 20 minutes and have only gotten funny results.

[Stan`]

From a quick test replacing

	size="50%-250 50%-300 50%+250 50%+300"

by:

	size="50%-250 50%-400 50%+250 50%+300"

Seems to work.

[Exodarion]

Just to note, Hyrule Conquests version of the Hero UI has been altered multiple times, but it seems you got it to work just fine now.

[Stan`]

I guess the main issue right now is that it does not scale :/

Also, I wish what it did was convert a skirmish replacer to the hero of your choice instead of just unlocking his training. Or, at the least, remove the training buttons from the other unselected heroes.

[Freagarach]

I guess you can use the code behind the "create unit" cheat to spawn the entity at the CC, not sure how that goes with Nomad though.

[wowgetoffyourcellphone]

Any idea how to adjust the size of the hero medallion (the clickable portrait in the upper left corner of the screen)?

[Freagarach]

You mean the panel entities I guess: session/PanelEntities.xml and then the size of panelEntityButton.
