One More XML Question

[dolomite13]

I am working on the Jamaica map XML and have a situation where there are two sets of resources that I need to create a bonus from. You need one of each resource to get the bonus and I am not sure what the easiest way to do that XML is.

Do I need to create a series of continents for every possible combination and set the overrides to override all previous combination's, the combination matrix seems rather complicated and I was hoping there was an easier way.

Something like this wouldn't work would it?

Code: Select all

<continent>
  <name>Resource A</name> 
  <bonus>0</bonus> 
  <components>
  <territory>Resource A1</territory> 
  <territory>Resource A2</territory> 
  <territory>Resource A3</territory> 
  <territory>Resource A4</territory> 
  <territory>Resource A5</territory> 
  </components>
  <required>1</required> 
</continent>

<continent>
  <name>Resource B</name> 
  <bonus>0</bonus> 
  <components>
  <territory>Resource B1</territory> 
  <territory>Resource B2</territory> 
  <territory>Resource B3</territory> 
  <territory>Resource B4</territory> 
  <territory>Resource B5</territory> 
  <territory>Resource B6</territory> 
  <territory>Resource B7</territory> 
  <territory>Resource B8</territory> 
  </components>
  <required>1</required> 
</continent>

<continent>
  <name>Resource A and B</name> 
  <bonus>1</bonus> 
  <components>
      <continent>Resource A</continent>
      <continent>Resource B</continent>
  </components>
  <required>1</required> 
</continent>

If theer is a map that does this already please point me to it, I haven't been able to find a good xml example.

Maybe poker map...

If you take out the <required> from your "Resource A and B" continent, then it should work - although I'm not 100% au fait with nested continents etc...

[dolomite13]

hope this works... I added it to the current xml =)

Code: Select all

<continent>
  <name>Slaves</name>
  <bonus>0</bonus>
  <components>
  <territory>Falmouth</territory>
  <territory>Newtown</territory>
  <territory>Savanah Le Mar</territory>
  <territory>Spanish Town</territory>
  <territory>St Albans</territory>
  </components>
</continent>

<continent>
  <name>Sugar</name>
  <bonus>0</bonus>
  <components>
  <territory>Annotta Bay</territory>
  <territory>Bluefields</territory>
  <territory>Chapelton</territory>
  <territory>Hanover</territory>
  <territory>Morant</territory>
  <territory>Pedro</territory>
  <territory>Rio Bueno</territory>
  <territory>Stoney Hill</territory>
  </components>
</continent>

<continent>
  <name>Sugar and Slaves</name>
  <bonus>1</bonus>
  <components>
      <continent>Slaves</continent>
      <continent>Sugar</continent>
  </components>
  <required>1</required>
</continent>

Mmmmm. i noticed on the Poker map that there is a huge list of overrides to clean up the xml.
Perhaps this would be helpful

[thenobodies80]

With this code

Code: Select all

<continent>
  <name>Slaves</name>
  <bonus>0</bonus>
  <components>
  <territory>Falmouth</territory>
  <territory>Newtown</territory>
  <territory>Savanah Le Mar</territory>
  <territory>Spanish Town</territory>
  <territory>St Albans</territory>
  </components>
</continent>

<continent>
  <name>Sugar</name>
  <bonus>0</bonus>
  <components>
  <territory>Annotta Bay</territory>
  <territory>Bluefields</territory>
  <territory>Chapelton</territory>
  <territory>Hanover</territory>
  <territory>Morant</territory>
  <territory>Pedro</territory>
  <territory>Rio Bueno</territory>
  <territory>Stoney Hill</territory>
  </components>
</continent>

<continent>
  <name>Sugar and Slaves</name>
  <bonus>1</bonus>
  <components>
      <continent>Slaves</continent>
      <continent>Sugar</continent>
  </components>
  <required>1</required>
</continent>

You give a 0 bonus if a player holds all slaves
You give a 0 bonus if a player holds all sugar
You give a 1 bonus if a player holds at least 1 of these two bonuses (1 required)

So to gain +1 of bonus a player needs to hold completely or all slaves or all sugar with that code.

i think that what you need to code is:

Code: Select all

<continent>
  <name>Slaves</name>
  <bonus>0</bonus>
  <components>
  <territory>Falmouth</territory>
  <territory>Newtown</territory>
  <territory>Savanah Le Mar</territory>
  <territory>Spanish Town</territory>
  <territory>St Albans</territory>
  </components>
<required>1</required>
</continent>

<continent>
  <name>Sugar</name>
  <bonus>0</bonus>
  <components>
  <territory>Annotta Bay</territory>
  <territory>Bluefields</territory>
  <territory>Chapelton</territory>
  <territory>Hanover</territory>
  <territory>Morant</territory>
  <territory>Pedro</territory>
  <territory>Rio Bueno</territory>
  <territory>Stoney Hill</territory>
  </components>
<required>1</required>
</continent>

<continent>
  <name>Sugar and Slaves</name>
  <bonus>1</bonus>
  <components>
      <continent>Slaves</continent>
      <continent>Sugar</continent>
  </components>
</continent>

in this way a player will have a +1 troop bonus if he holds at least 1 sugar and 1 slave, but he will not need to hold all the sugar or all the slaves.

Then in the "super" continent - you overide your child continents to keeo the log clean.

How would I code it to give me 2 bonus for 2 slaves and 2 sugar, 3 bonus for 3 of each and so on?

[thenobodies80]

the easier way is to code some smaller continents and combine them.

You have to code A Slave , 2 slaves, 3 slaves :

Code: Select all

<continent>
  <name>A Slave</name>
  <bonus>0</bonus>
  <components>
  <territory>Falmouth</territory>
  <territory>Newtown</territory>
  <territory>Savanah Le Mar</territory>
  <territory>Spanish Town</territory>
  <territory>St Albans</territory>
  </components>
<required>1</required>
</continent>
<continent>
  <name> 2 Slaves</name>
  <bonus>0</bonus>
  <components>
  <territory>Falmouth</territory>
  <territory>Newtown</territory>
  <territory>Savanah Le Mar</territory>
  <territory>Spanish Town</territory>
  <territory>St Albans</territory>
  </components>
<required>2</required>
</continent>

in the same way code the resources A sugar, 2 sugar, etc etc:

Code: Select all

<continent>
  <name>A Sugar</name>
  <bonus>0</bonus>
  <components>
  <territory>Annotta Bay</territory>
  <territory>Bluefields</territory>
  <territory>Chapelton</territory>
  <territory>Hanover</territory>
  <territory>Morant</territory>
  <territory>Pedro</territory>
  <territory>Rio Bueno</territory>
  <territory>Stoney Hill</territory>
  </components>
<required>1</required>
</continent>
<continent>
  <name>2 Sugar</name>
  <bonus>0</bonus>
  <components>
  <territory>Annotta Bay</territory>
  <territory>Bluefields</territory>
  <territory>Chapelton</territory>
  <territory>Hanover</territory>
  <territory>Morant</territory>
  <territory>Pedro</territory>
  <territory>Rio Bueno</territory>
  <territory>Stoney Hill</territory>
  </components>
<required>2</required>
</continent>

And then larger continents sugar & slaves, 2 sugar & 2 Slaves, etc etc:

Code: Select all

<continent>
  <name>Sugar and Slave</name>
  <bonus>1</bonus>
  <components>
      <continent>A Slaves</continent>
      <continent>A Sugar</continent>
  </components>
</continent>
<continent>
  <name>2 Sugar and 2 Slaves</name>
  <bonus>2</bonus>
  <components>
      <continent>2 Slaves</continent>
      <continent>2 Sugar</continent>
  </components>
</continent>

When it's done remember to override the continents, as previously suggested

Then in the "super" continent - you overide your child continents to keeo the log clean.

Ah thanx a bunch C that makes total sense =)

[dolomite13]

OK so I think it should look like this

Code: Select all
