CIVITAS City States and CQUI Inline Quests

This is possible to do, the best thing to do is that CIVITAS integrates the CQUI inline CityState quest stuff -- if Seeling Cat is interested. I've reached out on Discord and we'll see if something can be worked out... I know there's lots of folks that like the default view for the quests and think the 2nd place suzerain makes things a bit cluttered. I'll offer to have it exist behind some option that can be enabled, etc.

See screenshot of what this looks like.
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2427237898

To make this work, the changes should be made to CIVITAS. I haven't tested extensively yet but I believe this will work. It's also not perfect, as I think the right size of the panel gets cluttered. That said, it is pretty nice.

How to update Civitas City States Expanded with the CQUI Inline Quests and 2nd place Suzerain (at your own risk)
-- This works for Gathering Storm and probably Rise and Fall games. Like I said, I haven't tested extensively so I'm not sure.
-- Being familliar with XML and Lua would be useful here...
-- I suggest copying the original files that you'll be updating in case of error.
-- You *can* update these files while the game is running, it should update the UI accordingly.. but you should do the XML first and then the LUA. Until you have both files updated, things may look wonky.

CIVITAS City States Expanded is Mod #1331757859.

Navigate to the location of your Steam folder, to the workshop:

(YourSteamFolder)\steamapps\workshop\content\289070\1331757859\Core\Utilities\UI Replacements\XP1

In the file CityStates.xml file, you will be updating the "CityStateRowInstance" section.

Find this line (around line 190):
<Instance Name="CityStateRowInstance">
Select everything from that line to the closing tag
</Instance>
(around line 270)
Replace what you have selected with the XML snippet from my next reply to this discussion
Save the XML file. If you have Civ6 open and if you did this correctly, you should see a bunch of "$CQUI_Quest$" appear below the City State icons/names in the list of City States.

In the CityStates_Expansion1.lua file, you will be adding a few things. There will be 3 separate chunks of code to paste in, which will all be in the 3rd reply I make to this discussion.

Near the top of the file, right after the line
local m_CityStateGovernors:table = {}
, add the three lines from section 1 of my reply with the Lua code.
In the function AddCityStateRow (around line 60), above the like that says
return kInst;
, insert the 96(!) lines of code from section 2 of my reply with the Lua code.
At the absolute end of the file after the last line that simply says
end
, add the CQUI_RemoveQuestIconsFromString function, found in section 3 of my reply with the Lua code.
Save the file. If you are running Civ6 while making these changes, you should now see the inline city state quests and 2nd place Suzerains on your City States panel.

This is the XML code for the CitStateRowInstance. See the directions in the first post.

the_m4a [developer] 17 Mar, 2021 @ 1:50am

Here is the Lua code. See directions above. All three parts are required.

Section 1: Constants to put near the top of the file

local CITYSTATEBASE_DEFAULT_SIZEY :number = 48; local CQUI_InlineCityStateQuestFontSize = 10; local ICON_NAMES = {"%[ICON_TechBoosted%] ", "%[ICON_CivicBoosted%] ", "%[ICON_TradeRoute%] ", "%[ICON_Barbarian%] "};

Section 2: Code to add to the AddCityStateRow function

local secondPlaceIdx = 2;

-- is there a tie for first?
if (envoyTable[1].EnvoyCount == envoyTable[2].EnvoyCount) then
-- Already sorted above, so this is either local player or the leader appearing first alphabetically
secondPlaceIdx = 1;
end

local secondHighestIsPlayer = envoyTable[secondPlaceIdx].IsLocalPlayer;
local secondHighestName = envoyTable[secondPlaceIdx].Name;
local secondHighestEnvoys = envoyTable[secondPlaceIdx].EnvoyCount;

Thank your so much for your effort! I'll give this a shot in a few days when I have time!

Wonderful! I got it working! Thanks again so much for your help! Did sailor cat get back to you on discord?

Hmmm.. So, my list is only showing one city state and not any more.. I initially had some trouble with your instructions.

Originally posted by the_m4a:
Select everything from that line to the closing tag
</Instance>
(around line 270)

You said the instance to replace up until should be around 270, but that's in the middle of an instance, with many more instance before and after it. BUT, after you paste your code, the last instance of yours is around 268 for me, so I'm not sure if that's the line you were referring to. The very last closing tag of </instance> is line 323.

Could you please let us know the line of the </instance> on the CIVITAS XML to replace?

Originally posted by the_m4a:
In the function AddCityStateRow (around line 60), above the like that says

, insert the 96(!) lines of code from section 2 of my reply with the Lua code.

So around line 60 (Also I think you made a typo saying like instead of line), has a string of text with kinst, but the return kinst; is line 82. So I pasted your 96 lines between

end
**Your 96 lines of text**
return kInst;

Here are the pastebins of the 2 files

Here is a screenshot of what it looks like after I've met multiple city states (I'd tried normal games and it was the same thing)

Also, if you don't have the mod for additional zooming out, you should! I editted his values much further though

Also also, I've noticed a problem that right clicking the send envoy doesn't go away. I feel like I noticed this the other day but didn't really pay attention to it. Not sure if it's related.

the_m4a [developer] 20 Mar, 2021 @ 11:11pm

I did hear from Sailor Cat - I offered to integrate the inline stuff into their mod. May do that in the next few days. Nice tip on the camera one, too, I'll have to check that out. Not sure what you mean on the right-click send envoy?

To dismiss the notification on the bottom right. Not the little notification, it stops the end turn. I need to end up hitting shift enter

the_m4a [developer] 23 Mar, 2021 @ 10:39pm

I'll have to look at that... it's probably a CIVITAS thing - maybe it's blocking the end turn stuff. Not sure offhand.

No pressure at all as I appreciate all the help you've already done, but any luck with integrating the mods? I haven't seen anything on the changelogs regarding it :)

#11

the_m4a [developer] 5 Apr, 2021 @ 8:37pm

I dunno - I will have to ask... I made a pull request over on the GitHub set up for that mod.. https://github.com/seelingcat/CIVITAS-CSE-Release/pull/1

CIVITAS has this built in now, so I am locking this thread
