Ignore the error message "Use of uninitialized value in numeric eq <==> at PERL2EXE_STORAGE/UI.pm line 249".

@Admiral_Loki

In most cases, deleteing maindata.db in ged_data folder and trying again the decompress-read-write task can solve the problem.

Thats an excellent stuff.

I feel Genied can do everything except creating new civilizations.

Thanx for creating.

By the way,why beta Genied
what are you thinking to do in Final Version?

[This message has been edited by psnogi (edited 05-29-2006 @ 09:20 AM).]

I guess that the project's not completely finished. Before a game comes out, the creators release a beta version to see what bugs there are. It's too hard finding all of them yourself. Much easier with the public's huge numbers of people.

Aww... bummer.

Can it add new graphics into the drs list (I haven't d/l'ed it yet)?

@Scenario_T_C

I have done it! I have the same problem!

Admiral_Loki

@Stc, the help file has a few bugs in it

"2. Techage slot in GeniEd"
should be
"2. Help"
and you need to change the descripion of Data Range

@Admiral_Loki

Can you give me some further explanation for your issue? The exe work fine on my computer.

@MJ

That was fixed.

@Admiral_Loki, try deleting states.db

Quoted from scenario_t_c:

good but you still need to email me

I would send you once all articles are finished. I have finished "Technology Tree, Civilization Bonus and Team Bonus" and "New Unit Creation Tutorial". Only 3 more articles to go (Research Slot, Civ-Unit, Adding technology)

@ Stc, I meant the email about GeniEd2 and Ykkrosh is hosting the Beta of GeniEd1

Quote:

because this version is Ykkrosh's beta version, but this one works

Quote:

it can add new graphic slots to the data file, but not new .slps to the .drs.

Thanx for your help. All civilizations have now the Tarkans in the castle-slot 2! You can see that in the techtree!

The player colors are only red and blue! Have anybody a solution for this ?

You can built in one part of the bridge with GeniED2 Enhanced ! How can we make with GeniED1 the bridge built in the game ?

You were too excited and accidentally clicked the in-game friendly player color setting.

I am not sure what the word "bridge" meant in your sentence. If you meant to connect the two programs, I am afraid it would be pretty difficult to establish a connection between a Perl program and C++ program. If you meant to modify the bridge units in game, you could refer to civ*units.txt and find the related data, then input modified ones into patches.txt.

@MJ

I have finished the codes, but I have lost contact to my friend that compile them for me before.

From above data , what data is to be changed to enable this technology for teutons.

1.I want to enable crossbowman in spanish.
2.How to disale a unit like spearman in Mayans.
(I improved eagle warriors to match level of spearmen.)

@ MasterJoab

Would you mind explaining these more!

1. I was tired and have used the friendly player color setting.

2.
You can built all parts of the bridge with GeniED2 Enhanced! Bridge - the middle part
Built Unit 118
Built Slot 1

Now your villagers can built one or more parts of a bridge!
It's the same thing with the Seagate,Seawall and Seatower.

You must use a original 1.0c empires2_x1_p1.dat ! I can't
guarantee that is possible with genied1_beta ! I have not
enough place for the bridge and the original civil building!

Admiral_Loki

@Admiral_Loki

The buildings you mentioned are already enabled by some technologies (meaning that ES people wanted to make them buildable), so changing their build button and build unit setting with GE2 can make them appear on the building list. You can also go to GE1 and alter the civ-unit setting to achieve the same effect:

civ_%%_unit_**_train_time
civ_%%_unit_**_train_unit
civ_%%_unit_**_train_button

@psnogi

Enabling Gold Shaft Mining for Teutons, Crossbowman for Spanish and Disabling Spearman for Mayans are all technology tree struction modification. As I said before:

Quote:

In other words, you have to alter techage slot 262, 446 and 449.

According to techage.txt, the 72nd techage_data of techage slot 262 is disabling gold shaft mining. Therefore, to enable Gold Shaft Mining for Teutons, the lines you have to enter in patches.txt should be:

techage_262_71_amount: -1

Meanwhile, since the 7th techage_data of techage slot 446 is disabling crossbowman, the lines you have to enter in patches.txt to make it available to Spanish should be:

techage_446_6_amount: -1

Finally, disabling Spearman for Mayans is a bit more complicated for you have to add data to the techage slot:

techage_449_count: 60
techage_449_59_type: 102
techage_449_59_unit: -1
techage_449_59_class: -1
techage_449_59_attribute: -1
techage_449_59_amount: 87

[This message has been edited by scenario_t_c (edited 05-31-2006 @ 10:40 PM).]

Stc get on MSN, I need to talk to you about GeniEd

Quote:

Is there a list where we can come to know which techage data is doing what?

If amount=-1,a thing is enabled and if unit count is value greater than 1 ,a thing is disabled.Is this true?

Actually what amount means.

techage_449_count: 59 //mayans
techage_504_count: 28 //koreans
techage_262_count: 95 //teutons

the techage counts are different of the three.what does it signify?

Thanx.

The last thing i want to know is, why can't we make new civilisations.
Do we have to edit the combo boxes which let us to select civilizations.
what would happen if we put same civilizaton pointer(of existing civilisation) to our new civilisation.

The combo box setting is probably located in the exe file, so it is illegal (and rather impossible) to alter it. We have tried duplicating a whole civilization within the database, but it cannot be selected in the game.

This is probably a stupid question, but...

After I get the .rar file, what do I do next?

You open it.

Oh, right. With what? It won't open on its own. Do I just use notepad or similar? EDIT- Obviously not, I just tried.

EDIT again- Ignore all that,I needed to get a special program.

[This message has been edited by Julius999 (edited 06-02-2006 @ 04:51 PM).]

@Julius999

I suggest you download Bitzipper or winrar to extract this file.
RAR file is similar to zip file.

download and install zip genious. Its free and more effecient than win zip. It also does many more things.

http://www.zipgenius.it/eng/?page_id=12

After its installed, simply right click on the file and select "extract." Or maybe its "unzip." anyway, it works great even for tar.gz files.

Thanks, I've got it sorted now, although I'm currently having problems creating new units (if you can help look at my question in that thread, thanks)

How could I change the graphicset ? I think civ_*_graphicset is only for the information !

Admiral_Loki

@Admiral_Loki

Which graphic is displayed for every unit and building is controlled by its own graphic slot setting (that can be altered by both GE1/2).

We have 5 groups : Arabic , Asian ,West European,North European ,South American .

The South American Group have for some of my buildings better anchor than the West European. If I change only the graphic of the NE castle , have I some Problems with the flaggs , if I accommodate one Unit there.

Could I change the groups with GeniED1 ?
Could I add the technology tree ?

Admiral_Loki

it has a

VIRUS

not, it does

NOT

(downloaded again, checked with norton and avg - no warns)

K, so I downloaded GeniEd again. I ignored the Trojan warnings from avast.

And now I get some sort of error message saying that "I don't have permission" to open the file...

Could someone send me it by mail? I seem to be having a lot of problems downloading it...
