Thanks Telfon Kris.

Are we ready for the main foundry yet?

Thanks for your support uckuki.

Glad we're now in the main foundry :)

Does anybody think the map should be lightened somewhat? Specifically the green land areas. Below is the current version for reference:

Hi Tom, welcome to the main foundry.

To get the gameplay stamp, we'd be well advised to try it out on the beta site. For this we'll need XML.
You might find this page helpful to code the conditional autodeploys you have for the paratrooper: http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewto ... 5#p4397767

About lightening the colour....I like it how it is at the moment. The green colour is really military and sort of gritty. But feel free to experiment and see if there's something even better....I did wonder about overlaying (very faint) some sort of texture?

Thanks ManB. I've been working on the XML and have a few XML queries:

To achieve +4 deployment regardless of region count, will this work? 128 is the number of total regions on the map.

Code: Select all
<minreinforcement>4</minreinforcement>
<reinforcements>
   <reinforcement>
      <lower>1</lower>
      <upper>128</upper>
      <divisor>128</divisor>
   </reinforcement>
</reinforcements>


Next question: for regions that start neutral, and also receive an auto deploy, does it matter which order the <neutral> and <bonus> tags are in? For example:

Code: Select all
<territory>
  <name>Paris</name>
  <borders>
    <border>Arnold</border>
    <border>Abel</border>
    <border>Grasse</border>
    <border>Basile</border>
  </borders>
  <coordinates>
    <smallx></smallx>
    <smally></smally>
    <largex></largey>
    <largey></largey>
  </coordinates>
  <neutral>5</neutral>
  <bonus>-2</bonus>
</territory>



Final question regarding the conditional autodeploy. The paratrooper receives a +2 autodeploy when held with its neighbouring reinforcement. Basically, Dijon receives +2 autodeploy when held with Donat. Can you correct any mistakes in this code? I found this bit quite hard to follow from the guide.

Code: Select all
<transforms>
   <transform>
      <type>T</type>
      <applyto>S</applyto>
      <inc>2</inc>
      <id>Dijon</id>
      <conditions>
        <condition>
          <id>Dijon</id>
          <ownership>S</ownership>
        </condition>
        <condition>
          <id>Donat</id>
          <ownership>S</ownership>
        </condition>
   </transform>
</transforms>




Also, does anybody know of a website I can use to upload the XML file to use along with CC Map Maker/Map Inspect? Last time I did this I used FileDen, whic is no longer in business.

I like green as is (and w/o texture). Reminds me of old school NES games

This is the latest XML. I can't get it to work in the Map Inspect, can anybody help me troubleshoot and or help with the questions above? Thanks!

Here is a map image with no army numbers on.

If you're using the XML wizard that chipv made, then I guess it won't have been updated to include transformations.

From your post above, the first two bits look fine (+4 deployment and neutral/auto-deploy), but I'll need to have a closer look at the transformation bit later.

Hi ManB, thanks for your reply. I wrote the code without chipv's tool (though used it for the coords.) but still need help with the transforms to achieve the conditional autodeploy.

Can somebody help to make this work in the Map Maker? I think it's just a simple XML issue :)

for the conditional auto-deploy, have u tried the syntax below?

Code: Select all
<transforms>
   <transform>
      <type>T</type>
      <applyto>S</applyto>
      <inc>+</inc>
         <amount>2</amount>
      <id>Dijon</id>
      <conditions>
         <formula>COND_A AND COND_B</formula>
      <condition>
         <variable>A</variable>
         <id>Dijon</id>
         <ownership>S</ownership>
      </condition>
      <condition>
         <variable>B</variable>
         <id>Donat</id>
         <ownership>S</ownership>
      </condition>
   </transform>
</transforms>

I intend on working on the XML soon. In the meantime, here's an upside-down map of Florida from 1955 to help northerners heading south.

i'm liking it... would have preferred the big huge world map that you initially had going, but this still kicks ass... and i don't mind the shade of GREEN, how much lighter were you thinking?-Bj

Hey Owen! Thanks for your comment. I was wondering whether to go just a touch lighter in some areas (keeping the darkest dark, so it would add a little contrast to the map.) Which big huge world map are you talking about? This map or a different one?

when u finalise the names of each region, remember that names in france must be either all french names in their proper locations or, apart from paris, all non-french code names.
