RUS under EAW Engine

[Zenvaro]

They look great Zenvaro

Thank you!

[Zenvaro]

do not hesitate if you have any questions.

Hello! I have another one question. Could you please advice how can we add scrollbar (for example) to Objectives panel?
Thank you.

[Bohémond]

You will have to add the scroll to the .pas front end file

Code: Select all

   AgeScrollBarD1: TAgeScrollBarD;

And then define it in the .dfm front end file

Code: Select all

 object AgeScrollBarD1: TAgeScrollBarD
    Left = 985
    Top = 174
    Width = 17
    Height = 512
    Hint = '$strGUI_Lists_SBHint'
    Kind = sbVertical
    PageSize = 0
    TabOrder = 146
    DataSetIdx = 0
    ScrollBarBgImage = 'ForcesList_Slider_BG.png'
    UpArrowDefaultImage = 'blank.png'
    UpArrowOverImage = 'blank.png'
    UpArrowDownImage = 'blank.png'
    UpArrowDisaImage = 'blank.png'
    DownArrowDefaultImage = 'blank.png'
    DownArrowOverImage = 'blank.png'
    DownArrowDownImage = 'blank.png'
    DownArrowDisaImage = 'blank.png'
    CursorDefaultImage = 'ForcesList_Slider.png'
    CursorOverImage = 'ForcesList_Slider.png'
    CursorDownImage = 'ForcesList_Slider.png'
    CursorDisaImage = 'ForcesList_Slider.png'
  end

I did never try this addition.
Let us know if it works.

Let us know if it works.

I tried to implement this exact solution before your post and it didn't work It seems that in the class of each tab inside the engine it is strictly defined which elements can/should be present. And if the scrollbar is not registered, then you won’t be able to add it.

[Bohémond]

I think it is not in the vanilla game, so it can be a nice addition :

TEAW_3B.png (1.43 MiB) Viewed 8643 times

3 buttons at the left, like in WON. They open 3 differents tables: Leaders Promotion list, Army Organization and Actives faction modifiers.

Tested and working

Forgot the above If already in Vanilla.

Finally I solved this problem with a big update of the entire tab.

[Nikel]

What a change!

AGE is very moddable and you very talented

[Zenvaro]

Regions list in RUS style with exteded pool of visible regions.

[ERISS]

In WW1Gold there was like a No-Treaty-of-Brest-Litovsk feature.

[Zenvar]

Updated Score panel in RUS style.
P.S. I tried to change the email on my account to a new (current) one, but the confirmation email never arrived, and I can no longer log into my account. I had to create a new one and now I will post from it.

After 5 posts you are classified as "not spammer"

Looking good Zenvaro, except the units and recruitment panel.

Now that I see lodilefty posting here... Did you finally contacted with PhilThib?

I suggested it to you when you were considering a new engine.

What is wrong with them on your opinion?

Not yet. As you can see, I have a project for now) And I know this game, its rules, its engine. And I've never messed with these games and their engine.. So, it's more complecated.
But I'm keeping this in mind for the future. Anyway, the first iteration was a mod for RUS. Now I’m actually transferring the mod to the TEAW engine and modifying it taking into account new knowledge, etc. It is likely that the third iteration will be the next update and transfer to the engine that you mentioned. Could you tell why this engine is so much better and why do you think it’s worth porting the game to this engine?

[Nikel]

Kappel is different from the rest.

And the rest look like not centered?

The same with the recruitment panel, besides the evident missing pics.


Regarding the SGS engine, I am not saying is better, it is completely different.

The boardgame look of the 2D map and the units fits perfectly with the classic Ageod games.

However the engine is card driven and with phases in every turn, and the most important thing is not WEGO.

In fact when I asked you the question, it was about if you thought the RCW could be managed in an engine like that, because I have no idea

I guess yes, because the Korean War and the War of American Independence were done, the SCW is on development,... so why not the RCW?

There are a lot of videos on youtube where the mechanics are displayed if you have curiosity, or just try one of them.


The question in definitive is regarding the future, because as you know the AGE engine is unfortunately dead, while SGS is not.

I know that PhilThib was searching for people to create games, at least months ago, I have not contacted with him since then.

You are good enough in this business to consider it not only a hobby, but a job.

Oh, don't worry about pictures:) Now I tried to show exactly the changes in panels (For example factions flags on the recruitment panel). Units portrets are not ready for now, but in progress. (For example Kappel is ready). I will show every new 100 portrets, when it will be ready. And when you see some ready portrets as Kappel - you can see how will it look like:) All the generals portrets will be in Kappels style and I'll try to make realistic pictures for the simple units.

All of this sounds really interesting and sounds great as a job Although I'm not sure that PhilThib will be short of employees on occasion. But in general it would be very cool and working in such a project would be something like a dream I watched a few gameplay videos, and I think it looks familiar in many aspects on ageod engine. BTW, the wars you mentioned are similar (especially civil wars), and I think RCW could be really interesting, large-scaled and detailed.

[Nikel]

Well, I asked him for the peloponnesian war, he told me he was literally lacking manpower to develop all the projects he wanted to do.

This was more than a year ago.

Needless to say that besides the RCW, I guess you would have to develop other projects

Anyway just contact him when/if you are ready and sure.

Best luck whatever you decide

By the way, where are you talking with him? As I understood, most of such people don't come to this forum anymore.
