Fix of two "wrong production icons" for all mods with extra resources

[KJ_Jansson]

Here the fix that corrects two "wrong production icons" on both main and city screen.

1. How look these errors?

- Main screen (Before)



- City screen (before)



Unfortunately, these errors are typical for all mods with extra resources. I tested "PlantationEconomy_v0.09", "TAC-Test 0204", my mods of "1492: Global Colonization" series.

2. Source of these errors.

The program uses [ICON_PRODUCTION] icon in both CIV4GameTextInfos_Original.xml and CIV4GameText_Colonization.xml files. However, as [ICON_PRODUCTION] the game takes the icon No.16 from GameFont_75.tga.



I made a special test and 100% sure.

If you add some new yields before [ICON_PRODUCTION] icon (that is No.16 from GameFonts files), you must use this fix. Or the game will read wrong icons as shown in two screens above.

3. I propose a very simple fix.

As far as I remember the CivIVColonization don't use Gold Age, thus, [ICON_GOLDENAGE] is free.

I exchanged [ICON_GOLDENAGE] icon on HAMMER icon (similar to [ICON_PRODUCTION] No.16).

I edited both CIV4GameTextInfos_Original.xml and CIV4GameText_Colonization.xml files and used [ICON_GOLDENAGE] instead [ICON_PRODUCTION].

I did not added a new line as

				'hammer' : FontSymbols.HAMMER_CHAR,

in OtherFontIcons section of the CvUtil.py file.
I also did not changed

				'goldenage' : FontSymbols.GOLDEN_AGE_CHAR,

on

				'goldenage' : FontSymbols.HAMMER_CHAR,

in CvUtil.py. To my opinion, it's unnecessary.

I only made small corrections in both GameFonts files and edit both CIV4GameTextInfos_Original.xml and CIV4GameText_Colonization.xml files. Two small new files are included in archive. Copy these xml files in

C:\Program Files\2K Games\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization IV Colonization\Mods\Medieval Tech 1.1b\Assets\XML\Text

directory.

After these changes we have the correct icons on

- Main screen (after)



- City screen (after)



The attached "fix.rar" file contains both fixed GameFonts and couple additional xml files.

Hi KJ_Jansson,

I had already fixed this for TAC months ago.
(DLL-side)

Take a look at TAC 2.02a (which has new yields for Whaling and Cocoa).
You won't find this error there.

@TAC:
This error cannot occur in your Mod anymore, don't worry.

Edit:
The error existed in TAC-Test 0204.
We noticed it there and I fixed it.

Edit 2:
As I remember, there were 6 locations (possible errors), where I fixed it.

Great! However I tested "TAC-Test 0204" version and found this problem. I re-downloaded this version yesterday and CvGameCoreDLL.dll dated "Friday, July 02, 2010, 4:49:54 PM". I am glad to know that you made a DLL-fix for the final "TAC-204".

TAC 2.02a! OK, I will download this version and see how to fix this error in source codes. Thank you very much for your information!

Yes the error occured in "TAC-Test 0204".
However it is definitely fixed in the current version "TAC 2.02a".

Of course you also have to adjust the messages in XML.

@W.B., Stöpsel:

Ihr könnt den Thread löschen, wenn ihr wollt.
Ich hab KJ alle Infos gegeben, die er braucht.

Den Bug gibts ja bei TAC nicht mehr.
