Nation Library

[pyg]

So I have a prototype now with dmg (DomModGen) I used chrispedersen's UlmCivilWar mod as an example and wrote the equivalent of his second nation (Tolkein's) with dmg classes and methods. The last couple of lines wrap the nation in a mod and printing it lets you >file.dm or |more to test. This example is included in the dmg.zip if you want to mess with it. I've included variable names and snipped text for readability. Anyway just applying a loop, incrementing the slot, and changing name could generate chris's mod. Seems to be missing unique pretenders unless LA Ulm doesn't have any.... and dmg is missing it because there has not yet been a need This has not been well tested so bugs are probable but I started a game with it and it looked Ulmish.

You guys never cease to amaze me.

I did make a bug in the original mod (obviously not your fault). The corrected mod adds 4 new spells, you can grab it from the Ulm Civil War thread.

Note however I was lazy on the spell descriptions.

I hope it's not abuse to paste in another big chunk of code, but I rewrote the ulm.py example to actually do chrispedersen's whole mod in 46 lines although some of the description text is snipped. This is the terse version. I've attached the actual output as ulm.dm.zip.

Hmmm... I *think* I'm willing to keep working on this with you pvg. We can include the NationalLibrary as part of ChrisCBM...

If we do one nation a day.. well be done in two months....
