	I've got a few q's about modding Put an end to popups!

1. Is it possible to change the tile improvement thing, to be cheaper when upgrading an improvement? I mean, when having a mine, but you want to upgrade the mine to an advanced mine instead. But because it's upgrading, the price should be slightly lower than the original price (Like having a 25% price cut...) Of course, if the tile is empty (Or has something else, than a mine), the price should be normal...

2. Is it possible to change how slow/fast the time goes by?

1) You can add PW to the player who isto simulate the bonus. Here is a code that adds 50 PW to the player if his is building advanced mine over mine and 25 if building a advanced farm over a farm. the temolate for new imrprovent is written there ( // means comment and do not make part of the code

code:

HandleEvent(CreateImprovement) 'PWBonunWhenBuildingOneSameType' pre {
int_t i;
int_t InitialPw
int_t FinalPW;
int_t OLD_TILEIMP[];
int_t NEW_TILEIMP[];
int_t PW_BONUS[];

OLD_TILEIMP[0] = TerrainImprovementDB(TILEIMP_MINE); 
NEW_TILEIMP[0] =  TerrainImprovementDB(TILEIMP_ADVANCED_MINE);
PW_BONUS[0] = 50;

OLD_TILEIMP[1] = TerrainImprovementDB(TILEIMP_FARM); 
NEW_TILEIMP[1] =  TerrainImprovementDB(TILEIMP_ADVANCED_FARM);
PW_BONUS[1] = 30;

// TEMPLATE obs: * need to be filled

//OLD_TILEIMP[*] = TerrainImprovementDB(TILEIMP_*); 
//NEW_TILEIMP[*] =  TerrainImprovementDB(TILEIMP_*);
//PW_BONUS[*] = *;

	for(i = 0; i < OLD_TILEIMP.#; i = i + 1) {			// Search for all numbers
		if(TileHasImprovement(location[0], OLD_TILEIMP[i]) {	// if tile has tile imp in the data 
			if(value[0] == NEW_TILEIMP[i]) {		// and new improvement has the same number	
				InitialPw = player[0].publicworkslevel;	// Search for previous amout of PW
				FinalPW = InitialPw + PW_BONUS[i];		// Give a 50 PW bonus
				setPW(player[0], FinalPW);		// and set the new player's PW amount
			}
		}
	}
}

Thx for the help... and yes, I got the last error fixed (I haven't finished my first game yet, so I can't be sure, but I haven't had any problem yet...)

I now get an slic error when starting the game...

I only get the new slic error... The other error got fixed

quote: OLD_TILEIMP[0] NEW_TILEIMP[0] PW_BONUS[0] OLD_TILEIMP[1] NEW_TILEIMP[1]

What does the number in [] mean? this might be what causes the error...

Those are arrays Pedrunn uses - when you define a variabel like the following int_t number[]; you'll have a dynamically growing array. Now if you want to write an integer into that array you have to say which index it shall have. They start at 0.
If you want to get into SLICing start reading Locutus' and IW's documentations, mavbe even the activision one...

Ok, let's see if I understud it. If I make more of those in Pedrunns example, I have to do like this: (?)

quote: OLD_TILEIMP[0] = TerrainImprovementDB(TILEIMP_MINE); NEW_TILEIMP[0] = TerrainImprovementDB(TILEIMP_ADVANCED_MINE); PW_BONUS[0] = 50; OLD_TILEIMP[1] = TerrainImprovementDB(TILEIMP_FARM); NEW_TILEIMP[1] = TerrainImprovementDB(TILEIMP_ADVANCED_FARM); PW_BONUS[1] = 30; OLD_TILEIMP[2] = TerrainImprovementDB(TILEIMP_FARM); NEW_TILEIMP[2] = TerrainImprovementDB(TILEIMP_Hydronic_FARM); PW_BONUS[2] = 30;

Ok, I didn't check if I spelled right... But is it something like that?

There are actually three errors:
1) A missing ';' after

code:
int_t InitialPw

code:
if(TileHasImprovement(location[0], OLD_TILEIMP[i]) {

code:

HandleEvent(CreateImprovement) 'PWBonunWhenBuildingOneSameType' pre {
int_t i;
int_t InitialPw;
int_t FinalPW;
int_t OLD_TILEIMP[];
int_t NEW_TILEIMP[];
int_t PW_BONUS[];

OLD_TILEIMP[0] = TerrainImprovementDB(TILEIMP_MINES); 
NEW_TILEIMP[0] =  TerrainImprovementDB(TILEIMP_ADVANCED_MINES);
PW_BONUS[0] = 30;

OLD_TILEIMP[1] = TerrainImprovementDB(TILEIMP_ADVANCED_MINES); 
NEW_TILEIMP[1] =  TerrainImprovementDB(TILEIMP_MEGA_MINES);
PW_BONUS[1] = 50;

OLD_TILEIMP[2] = TerrainImprovementDB(TILEIMP_FARMS);

OLD_TILEIMP[3] = TerrainImprovementDB(TILEIMP_ADVANCED_FARMS);

	i = 0;								// 'i' is zero for the last loop
	while(i < OLD_TILEIMP.#) {					// if 'i' is smaller then the biggest number inside OLD_TILEIMP[]
		if(TileHasImprovement(location[0], OLD_TILEIMP[i])) {	// if tile has tile imp equal to OLD_TILEIMP[i] 
			if(value[0] == NEW_TILEIMP[i]) {		// if new improvement has the same number	
				InitialPw = player[0].publicworkslevel;	// Search for previous amout of PW
				FinalPW = InitialPw + PW_BONUS[i];		// Give a 50 PW bonus
				setPW(player[0], FinalPW);		// and set the new player's PW amount

Just use copy (mark a line and press Ctrl and c on the same time), then go to the target document and press Ctrl + v.

That is why i hate slic. one small typo and frustation comes to you.
It is a missing '{' in the line before. I edited the code from its post it should work now.
Sorry.

Is it because in this line, you sets the number of the player. Shouldn't it be something like the i in PW_BONUS[i]? Otherwise the player who gets the bonus is always the same player... or am I mistaking here?

code:
setPW(player[0], FinalPW);

When you load a saved game. the slic codes are the same as the ones you saved. So my slic code is not part of.
To tell the PC that you have a new code in your game data you must press ' and the chatbox will open.
Then type

code:

/reloadslic

You just loaded a save game? In that case this is to less. You have also to reloadslic to do it just open the chat window by typing the apostrophe key (') and enter /reloadslic. Alternatively you can also open the cheat editor and press the reloadslic button. BTW the cheat editor is a great tool to test such code, but don't expect if you place a tile improvement with the cheat that you get the bonus you have to do it regulary. But you can first place a tile improvement and then close the cheat editor and place then the upgrate improvement.

Hey you are already commenting codes. Big step in slic learning.
Let me aswer you:
Check this part:

code:

InitialPw = player[0].publicworkslevel;	
FinalPW = InitialPw + PW_BONUS[i];		
SetPW(player[0], FinalPW);	

The SetPW(int_t, int_t) function works not adding the value of the second argument (int_t) to the player PW amount but replacing.
So in this piece of code:
line1: i get the player PW (InitialPW)
line2: make a new value(FinalPW) adding to the InitialPW value the PW_BONUS[i]
line3: Change the PW reserve of the player[0] to be equal to FinalPW

Remember: the TI entry names can be foun in the tileimp.txt

PS: I learnt slic in less than two days reading the info in this thread and locutus slic manual:
http://apolyton.net/forums/showthre...&threadid=33181

Of course. Make codes that actually worked took me a little while

EDIT: I never had experience in any coding language. Slic was the first.
