	slic functions Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

ok i am trying to implement a slic command as follows but i am missing hte predfined funtion name:

Button(ID_BUILD) {
Kill();
Open?();
}

where the "?" is i want to put in teh build manager window. i have tried many tags that i have thought may have been teh function, which i found routing through other CTPII files. does the build manger window function exist? if so what is it? if not which files are needed to create teh function (i.e. can it all be implemented within the script.slc file (where this particualar code is inserted)? or are there otehr files that need to be called also?)

an example of a funtion that works is OpenProductionTab
but it only gives me the city tab brought up front on the interface at the bottom - i want the whole build window.

Thanks

Hmm, the interface for CtPII was totally changed and unfortunately SLIC wasn't really updated to reflect this. Here's a list of all Open-functions that exist in SLIC with a description of what they did in CtPI. They all still exist in CtPII but I have no idea what any of these open now, so if you haven't already, try them all. If none of these works, then this would be something to put in a patch, I suppose...

VOID OpenCity()
Open the city status screen.

VOID OpenCityTab()
Set the control panel to the city tab.

VOID OpenCiv()
Open the civ status screen.

VOID OpenCivTab()
Set the control panel to the civ tab.

VOID OpenDiplomacy()
Open the diplomacy screen.

VOID OpenInfo()
Open the info screen.

VOID OpenLaborTab()
Open the labor tab.

VOID OpenMaxTab()
Open the max tab.

VOID OpenOptions()
Open the options screen.

VOID OpenProductionTab()
Open the production tab.

VOID OpenScience()
Open the science screen.

VOID OpenThroneRoom()
Open the throne room.

VOID OpenTrade()
Open the trade screen.

VOID OpenUnit()
Open the unit status screen.

Ok what follows is my best first pass at jumping the gun on official SLIC docs:

Trouble is if OpenProductionTab does not do it then I cannot image which of these are correct.

Mind you these are all derived from imaginitave use of a hex editor on the ctp2.exe file so... take it for what it is worth.

Also you will note that much of ctp(1) SLIC is still present although unrelated really.

Woow! I've been messing around with SLIC 2 for several months now but I see a did all that for nothing 'cause it seems like there's a *LOT* that was added at the last moment (or I just overlooked it of course ). I'm very pleased to that of course, presuming it all works Everything below 'Duration' is new to me, the 'Effect' things look very interesting.

For those with SLIC 1 experience: the only function of SLIC1 that was removed (last time I checked anyway) is HasPop (because worker placement now works very differently). A lot of variables have been removed as well but their functionality remains, mostly in the form of events. Gedrin, you should take you hex editor and search the ctp2.exe file for the text 'MoveToOrder' (without the quotes of course), that should (after maybe one or two 'false alarms') bring up a list of all events in the game with a short description of each one of them. These events can all be 'listened for' (like the variables in SLIC 1) and some, if not most, of them can be 'called' as well (like functions). I'd post the list myself but since so much seems to have changed at the last moment it would only be incorrect.

One thing though on your function list:
Continue, GetInput and Stop are three seperate functions (hmm, GetInput is new to me as well) and the DB things should have DB behind their name, so it's WonderDB and not DBWonder.

A few other things that you might find interesting about SLIC 2 is that it now has arrays, real functions (not that silly messagebox hack anymore), constants, global and local variables, a for loop and probably a few more I either haven't found out myself yet (or simply slip my mind at the moment ).

Locutus, what effect do those Effect* functions have?

	03-05-2002 20:03									#6
	Put an end to popups!

All the entries below duration including duration aren't slic functions, you kow I did what Locutus suggested above using an editor and copy all these strings in the ctp2.exe to another file. These effect functions aren't in the slic section but in the feat.txt section.

Of course you can try them in a slic file but I am afraid that they won't work.
