AudioDefines

2009-10-17T04:43:07Z

Supercheese: Created page with 'The '''AudioDefines''' file contains SoundIDs for sounds used in-game. Audio2DScripts and Audio3DScripts, among other files, refer to the SoundIDs listed here. All tags ...'

The '''AudioDefines''' file contains SoundIDs for sounds used in-game. [[Audio2DScripts]] and [[Audio3DScripts]], among other files, refer to the SoundIDs listed here.

All tags must be opened and closed; the first is the "open", the second the "close" tag. If nothing goes inside a "list tag", then it should just be the opening tag with a "/" before the closing bracket. The following tables contain all available tags, as well as their purpose and accepted values.

This page is missing information.
Do not remove this notice until it is complete.

==Tags==
===Text===
{| border="1" style="text-align:left" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"
|-
! style="background:#efefef;" | Tag Name
! style="background:#efefef;" | Description
|-
!SoundID
| The name of the Sound ID that other files reference. Prefixed with identifiers such as SND_, SONG_, or DIPLO_ for easier identification.
|-
!Filename
| The location of the sound file (or files) that contain the audio data for the sound. These are .wav files for sound effects, and .mp3 files for the soundtrack and diplomacy music.
Note that the file extension (.wav or .mp3) should '''not''' be included here; only include the filename (e.g. Sounds/Error.wav is listed as Sounds/Error). Furthermore, collections of sounds (usually for unit responses) such as BabylonOrder-000.wav, BabylonOrder-001.wav, BabylonOrder-002.wav, etc. are '''collectively''' referenced simply as 'BabylonOrder'. When the sound with this SoundID is played in-game, the sounds makred -000, -001, -002, etc. are selected such that they are different each time. This ensures that if you click on a unit, it will not say the same thing over and over again, and will instead have a variety of differing responses.
|-
!LoadType
| How the sound should be loaded. Types are: RESIDENT -- sound is loaded with the game on startup; STREAMED -- sound is streamed from the disk, not requiring the completion of loading before the sound begins to play (used for larger file sizes such as music or lengthy ambiances); DYNAMIC_RES -- sound is loaded as needed from the disk and played upon completion of loading (used for virtually all sound effects and other small file sizes).
|}

===Boolean===

All of these can either be 1 (on, or true) or 0 (off, or false). Be careful, as you can wind up with a double-negative, which the game will interpret as "True".

{| border="1" style="text-align:left" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"
|-
! style="background:#efefef;" | Tag Name
! style="background:#efefef;" | Description
|-
!bIsCompressed
| Unknown. Always 1. (Could theoretically be set to 0 if the sound is not compressed, although the effects of doing so are unknown.)
|-
!bInGeneric
| Unknown. Always 1.
|}

==Example==

In the following example of code, please note that there is a specific order of all of the tags. You ''must'' list the tags in this order for the game to properly interpret your file.

<SoundData>
<SoundID>SND_MONGOL_ORDER</SoundID>
<Filename>Sounds/Units/MongolOrder</Filename>
<LoadType>DYNAMIC_RES</LoadType>
<bIsCompressed>1</bIsCompressed>

Civ4SpecialUnitInfos

2009-10-16T23:56:08Z

Supercheese:

The '''Civ4SpecialUnitInfos''' file defines various properties for unit groups that are carried by other units such as fighters, great people, and missiles; it is referred to by the <SpecialCargo> tag from [[Civ4UnitInfos#Miscellaneous|Civ4UnitInfos]].

All tags must be opened and closed; the first is the "open", the second the "close" tag. If nothing goes inside a "list tag", then it should just be the opening tag with a "/" before the closing bracket. The following tables contain all available tags, as well as their purpose and accepted values.

==Tags==
===Headers===

These tags typically bracket other tags, sometimes the entire file, and are generally used to specify more than one piece of data.

|-
! style="background:#efefef;" | Tag Name
! style="background:#efefef;" | Description
|-
! Civ4SpecialUnitInfos

===Boolean===

All of these can either be 1 (on, or true) or 0 (off, or false). Be careful, as you can wind up with a double-negative, which the game will interpret as "True".

! style="background:#efefef;" | Tag Name
! style="background:#efefef;" | Description
|-
! bValid
| Always 1.
|-
! bUnitAI
| Always 1.
|-
! bCityLoad
| If 1, the unit cannot directly rebase to a valid carrier-unit; rather it must be loaded onto carrier-units when both units are in the same city.
Used in vanilla Civ4 for missile units.
|}

===Lists (Multi-line)===

All List tags consist of an opening/closing tag, which is shown here, and then each entry within it is another tag with the same name as the parent tag, minus the "s" (i.e. singular, rather than plural).

Civ4UnitClassInfos

2009-10-16T23:46:33Z

Supercheese:

The '''Civ4UnitClassInfos''' file contains data about the different classes of units. A class is the underlying connection between a unique unit and the parent unit (for example, a Praetorian and Swordsman), as each civilization can only have one unit type in each class.

All tags must be opened and closed; the first is the "open", the second the "close" tag. If nothing goes inside a "list tag", then it should just be the opening tag with a "/" before the closing bracket. The following tables contain all available tags, as well as their purpose and accepted values.

Civ4ArtDefines Unit

2009-10-16T22:46:56Z

Supercheese:

The '''Civ4ArtDefines_Unit''' file declares various art settings for units.

All tags must be opened and closed; the first is the "open", the second the "close" tag. If nothing goes inside a "list tag", then it should just be the opening tag with a "/" before the closing bracket. The following tables contain all available tags, as well as their purpose and accepted values.

This page is missing information.
Do not remove this notice until it is complete.

==Tags==
===Text===
{| border="1" style="text-align:left" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"
|-
! style="background:#efefef;" | Tag Name
! style="background:#efefef;" | Description
|-
!Type
| Object Name (Unit).
|-
!Button
| Location of the unit's button file (.dds format).
|-
!NIF
| Location of the unit's NIF (model) file.
|-
!KFM
| Location of the unit's KFM (animation) file.
|-
!SHADERNIF
| Location of the unit's "[[Model Shading|shaded]]" NIF (model) file.
|-
!TrainSound
| The sound played when an unit is built in a city.
|}

===Boolean===

All of these can either be 1 (on, or true) or 0 (off, or false). Be careful, as you can wind up with a double-negative, which the game will interpret as "True".

{| border="1" style="text-align:left" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"
|-
! style="background:#efefef;" | Tag Name
! style="background:#efefef;" | Description
|-
!bActAsRanged
| If set to 1, the unit always engages enemies at ranged distance, rather than closing to melee distance.
|-
!bActAir
| If set to 0, the unit shows up in the Civlopedia interface as per its domain -- DOMAIN_LAND, DOMAIN_AIR, etc.
If set to 1, forces the unit to show up as an Air unit in the Civlopedia -- that is, flying with sky in the background.
|-
!bActAsLand
| If set to 0, the unit shows up in the Civlopedia interface as per its domain -- DOMAIN_LAND, DOMAIN_AIR, etc.
If set to 1, forces the unit to show up as an Land unit in the Civlopedia -- that is, on the ground (or hovering over it, like helicopters).
|}

===Floating-Point===
{| border="1" style="text-align:left" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"
|-
! style="background:#efefef;" | Tag Name
! style="background:#efefef;" | Description
|-
!fScale
| The unit's model is scaled (multiplied) by this number for its size on the map.
|-
!fInterfaceScale
| The unit's model is scaled first by fScale, then by this number for its size in the 'Pedia and the bottom-right window.
|-
!fBattleDistance
| Distance at which this unit will fight (melee-style) opposing units.
|-
!fRangedDeathTime
| unknown
|}

===Lists (Multi-line)===

All List tags consist of an opening/closing tag, which is shown here, and then each entry within it is another tag with the same name as the parent tag, minus the "s" (i.e. singular, rather than plural).

{| border="1" style="text-align:left" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"
|-
! style="background:#efefef;" | Tag Name
! style="background:#efefef;" | Description
|-
!ShadowDef
| unknown
|-
!AudioRunSounds
| unknown
|}

==Example==

In the following example of code, please note that there is a specific order of all of the tags. You ''must'' list the tags in this order for the game to properly interpret your file.
