Puhleeze someone tell me that it's possible to name landmarks in CtP2....I been looking for some means to do it, but can't find anything yet.

Any of you vets know?

I don't think that is possible to graphically name stuff on screen via SLIC or anything else. But something like that could be done with messageboxes.

I actually intend to do something along those lines in the mod I'm working on (if I ever get round to it).

Do want this as a game feature or to use for your AAR?

I was thinking that it'd make a *smokin* game feature....the ability to add mountain ranges and forests would really add atmosphere to an already outstanding game!

Alas, not even the most ugly dumbass workaround will enable this to be done. There isn't even a LocationClicked function

Pedrunn · October 7, 2002, 20:37

This was suggested before. No, luck with it

Immortal Wombat · October 8, 2002, 07:39

Actually, it might be possible, it just means having a tile that you can't travel through. [/cryptic]

This is stretching beyond the bounds of plausibility, but...
Make a cartographer unit which founds cities of size zero with no sprite?

Pedrunn · October 8, 2002, 11:09

That was suggested alrea J but will mess up the city status and manager

Immortal Wombat · October 8, 2002, 14:02

not if they're barbarian cities... Set to unattackable.

Pedrunn · October 8, 2002, 23:24

But them comes the border and impossibility to move to problem

I feel such a kill-joy.

Immortal Wombat · October 9, 2002, 04:53

I was thinking no-ZOC barbarian units with no sprites, which gave you a message on clicking them.

Velociryx · October 9, 2002, 08:58

How about.....

A tile improvement that costs 0PW and adds nothing to food, commerce, or production and can be renamed in some way?

tileimp names dont show up on the map

and there is no way to define names from inside the game, either

J Bytheway · October 9, 2002, 10:53

Then all we need is one tileimp for each possible name, and include the name in the picture. That shouldn't be too hard

...and take away the ability to pillage it.

Immortal Wombat · October 9, 2002, 12:51

Could do it more easily with goods. If there was a way to name them.
