UI Help + Global Boosts

[Nytefall]

Have been experimenting with a 9-tier RTS expansion thing... have two (maybe more later) questions first.

1. Resource system is different - gold is scattered in small nodes. Since there are a lot of them, I was wondering how to turn off the minimap icon for gold? Is there a way to do it without using the Game Interface panel?

2. The Terror State upgrade for one of the factions is supposed to grant a global 15% boost to all production for that player. Is there a simple way to trigger that, or will it be extremely complicated?

Sooo... that's it for now. If I have any more questions I'll add to this thread thanks.

For your 1st question, you can simply edit one line in the unit editor. Select your gold mine and look for "Stats - Hide Minimap" (don't know the exact English name, raw code is hideOnMinimap) and set it to true.

Can't think of any pre-built way for your 2nd question though, I guess it would require some heavy triggering. Or maybe you could try to mess around with upkeep (unless you're already using it) but I wouldn't go too far with this advice =P

1. i'm pretty sure you have to use game interface for that. read chaosium's suggestion.
2. try triggering the production. make 3 real/integer variables (not sure). set one to the resource gained. set the second to resource gained x 0.15, set the third to the first variable + the second variable. add the third variable to the player.

Actually, just to clarify. The 15% boost in production is a boost to building construction and unit training speed, not resource gathering.

Glad to hear the first one has such a simple solution though.

Ow, I guess you'd need copies of your buildings/units, with adjusted construction time and training speeds, and to replace the originals with those. That's quite a pain to do, to be honest =P
