It be time to plunder!

Regarding the scoring, would an autologger like that in the HOF mod be allowed? Wouldn't alter gameplay and would make the scoring a lot less tedious than a manual system.

The Hall of Fame mod is not approved for RB Tournament play, so regretfully I think I'm going to have to say no to that. Apologies.

[Swiss Pauli]

I don't mean the entire HOF mod, just the autologger utility in some kind of stand-alone form.

Actually - the HOF mod will not help you. They lifted the pillage code from BUG but failed to actually write the info to the log ...

Code:

    def onUnitPillage(self, argsList):
        'Unit pillages a plot'
        pUnit, iImprovement, iRoute, iOwner = argsList
        iX = pUnit.getX()
        iY = pUnit.getY()
        pPlot = CyMap().plot(iX,iY)

        if (NewAutoLog.Enabled()
        and hof.get_boolean('AUTOLOG', 'LOG_WAR', True)
        and (pPlot.getOwner() == CyGame().getActivePlayer()
        or   pUnit.getOwner() == CyGame().getActivePlayer())):
            message = "A %s" % (PyInfo.ImprovementInfo(iImprovement).getDescription())
            zsLocn = ""
            for iiX in range(iX-2, iX+3, 1):
                for iiY in range(iY-2, iY+3, 1):
                    pPlot = CyMap().plot(iiX,iiY)
                    if (pPlot.isCity()):
                        zsCity = pPlot.getPlotCity()
                        zsLocn = " near %s" % (zsCity.getName())

They need to add ...

message = message + zsLocn
NewAutoLog.writeLog(5, message)

... to the end of that section.

Hi,

here's another plea to allow for some kind of automatic logging of pillage results. I like the idea of this scenario, but won't manually write down hundreds of gold values and add them all up afterwards...

Note that the HOF / BUG loggers only log that a pillage occurred. They don't currently capture the amount of gold pillaged.

Do we want to officially put this scenario on hold until we come up with a solution? It would seem that a standalone mod to log just pillaging info would be the ticket.

I agree with Kylearan - even on a small map, manually writing down all the gold pillage values is too much busywork to make the scenario attractive to play.

My vote would be put it on hold. I saw the variant, like the idea, but couldn't get motivated to start. I think the tracking every pillage is why...

[Ruff_Hi]

I've managed to update BUG to report the amount of gold pillaged. Also, with BUG, you can turn off ALL of the features so that you have vanilla BtS. I'll zip up a version with all of the stuff turned off except the logging of pillage results.
