The map editor does not respect resource IDs specified in Resources.json

Recommended Posts

If you specify random IDs for resources in the Resources.json and then assign these resources to provinces, the editor will assign the wrong resources to the provinces.

Example of Resources.json:
Resource1, ID 0
Resource2, ID 214
Resource3, ID 2

In the map editor, these resources will be placed in a list, and their IDs will depend on their position in the list. (Indexing starts at 0, obviously)
0. Resource1, ID 0
1. Resource2, ID 1
2. Resource3, ID 2

When I assign Resource2 to a province, the game will record that this province contains resource ID 1, not resource ID 214.
This results in:

  • The game misunderstands what resource is available in the province
  • Incorrect resource icon
  • Complicates the work for the creators of modifications. If I want to remove just one original resource, I need to change the IDs for all the other resources, as well as change the icon names, and the link between resource buildings and the resource.

Also, the game seems to completely ignore the ImageID, instead using the false resource ID to choose the icon. The game should either respect the values specified by the human or not allow them to be changed at all. 

Here i removed some original resources:

P.S. I'm not sure, but it seems that the game code provides the ability to assign custom indexes to buttons («setCurrent» function). If «Current» value does not affect the position of the button in the list, then I think it will be enough to change the function argument from «i» to «ListResources.get(i).ID»🤔

    • Campaign: Small Scenarios
      In this topic, share your ideas for Campaign scenarios.

      These scenarios focus on a small part of the map, with the rest designated as wasteland.

       

      For example, a scenario of the Reconquista in 1054, where gameplay takes place only on the Iberian Peninsula.

      What are your ideas for small historical scenarios?

       


       
    • Events - Common events for every civilization in the game
      Hi,
      in this topic, I am interested in your ideas for events that can happen for every Civilization in the game.
      I'm also interested in Missions for every Civilization.

      Here is some example, have more than 10k army, have more than 5000 gold, build 10 buildings, recruit an Advisor, increase tax efficiency 20 times, be largest  producer of some resource in the world, unlock 5 Civilization legacies etc.

    • Land units - Ideas AoH3
      AoH3 will have different types of land units.

      In this topic we will write ideas for new land units. 

       

      So the AoH 3 will have new battle system.


      Representation of the battlefield in the game.


      Land units will be grouped into 3 types. Each unit will have a different recruitment cost, attack, defense, movement speed and upkeep.

      Groups determine the placement of units on the battlefield.


       

      Each unit can be unlocked by researching technology and then upgraded.

       

      Here is the current list of units with upgrades:

      First line:

      Warrior -> Light Footmen -> Heavy Infantry -> Infantry -> Line Infantry -> Modern Infantry

      Hoplites -> Spearmen -> Pikeman -> Elite Pikeman -> Musketeer -> Riflemen -> Mechanized Infantry -> Modern Mechanized Infantry

      First line side:

      Horseman -> Elite Horseman -> Cavalry -> Tank -> Modern Tank

      Second line:

      Archer -> Bowmen -> Crossbowman -> Elite Crossbowman

      Canon -> Field Cannon -> Artillery -> Modern Artillery

      Early Airplane -> Airplane -> Modern Airplane

       

      This is a very early version, so maybe something should be changed?

      Or maybe an idea for a new type of unit with upgrades? I'm waiting for your suggestions.
