You can contact him at luciano at elpea.net

He hasn't been active for a long time though, so I'm not sure if he still has the code or whether he's still interested.

Thanks, he didn't have one but he is willing to make one. Grin Although I did have to send him the techtree file.

OK, how exactly would I be able to see what age the game starts in, like how you made Fort wars in Nomad have some random bonus?

It's one of those tiny findings I made while making FW.  Otherwise it was pretty impossible to do.

You could theoretically check what Tech is active, but then you have to check a ton of politicians - also deal with the fact that your game is not "constant" (affected by age changes).

Hence why I kept FW to age1 and nomad - didn't want to deal with age upgrades.

ok, but how did you check to see it didn't start in age 2? because it isn't really aging up I am worried about. except for the Asians aging up but that is a whole different story, if you thought there were a ton of politicians, Asians have wonders.... whole different story...

Ah short memory sorry.  There was a way.  In fact you can check every age using the following kb query:

kbGetAgeForPlayer(#)

However, it starts counting at 0 if I recall correctly so add 1.  I won't go too much indepth into kb/tr commands though (it's pretty much the other "half" of RMS).  Just that you'd use it the same way as the tr ones (trQuestVarGet)

Example in Chat Send:

"You are in \"+kbGetAgeForPlayer(#)+\" Age!"

Basically when it is read in game, the escape \ are removed and you end out leaving the string and inserting actual code to replace it.

The concept behind actual code injection (which is used extensively in Fort Wars and Castle Blood, originated with TwentyOneScore's map for AOM) is that you leave the string broken long enough to pretty much code large sections of the map before closing.

ok, but if I coded it like

if (kbGetAgeForPlayer(1)==0){
something when in nomad }

would that work?

No - that is trigger code, not RMS.  You cannot mix them.

You would start with:

rmAddTriggerEffect("Send Chat");
rmSetTriggerEffectParam("Message", "\"); }} /*", false);

Enter the code after by:

rmAddTriggerEffect("Send Chat");
rmSetTriggerEffectParam("Message", "*/"+code+"/*", false);

and close the "hack" by using:

rmAddTriggerEffect("Send Chat");
rmSetTriggerEffectParam("Message", "*/ rule _globals_end_"+UNIQUE+" minInterval 4 inactive { if (1==0) { trChatSend(0, \"", false);

where UNIQUE has to be the unique number for this session.
