PARADIGM WORLDS - Open Source Code - Archives - Early-Mid Versions file

This is second part of Paradigm Worlds Open Source Code Project. This archive contains Python code files created in 2016-2018 for early and mid versions of mod.

This is Python/Warband source of of Paradigm Worlds mod. Check picture below.

I have marked most interesting (?) moments in developing of early and mid part of mod. You should be able to zoom and download this picture, it is a kind of map for archives.

• First, early versions of PW code may be used as a pure, new template for any Warband mod.
• I was lucky enough to start modding, when modding talents already created powerful mod-platform, called modmerger.
• Modmerger allowed compilation of pure Native, with FREELANCER mod, and Pre-Battle Orders. It has no DIPLOMACY. I believe this is a very solid starting ground for any mod.
• For some reason (my puny programming skills) I could not implement tournament mod, so I had to create my own 2 tournaments to balance that in 1.99 version. So no Tournaments mod in early versions, however you might be able to merge it, as it is possible. A bit after that I have added firearms, so again - this might be a good starting point. By firearms I mean XVI arqebuses and so on. Also engine has been modded, so items, inventory, stats - these things work in early versions.
• Check mentioned picture, specific files are marked with color to ease pain going through the code :)

I assume that you have Notepad +, so you can search Python files.

When I realized how helpful might be commenting parts of code - it was too late, but there are marks and tags. First of all I tried to mark my own code or personal changes by tag MADG or madguarang.

I tried to keep it simple, code that is about how ORDERS are organised is described as #orders.

My way to reverse engineer other mods: I play mod, and when I see let say interesting feature in 'Town Menu' -> start notepad -> load gamemenu module and search for specific phrase. But I also spent days - literally - studying other mods. Just reading code and trying to understand.

The Reckoning - Warband Zombie Horde mod - one of my favourites, open source, it's code run Paradigms's Autofire feature. But there is a lot more. The same for Last Era - Tolkien mod - I cannot express how much Paradigm Worlds owe true respect for this generous gift to make that mod open source. I mention these two great mods in case you want to check original source of many lines of Paradigm Worlds code.

Please leave a comment if you need any additional information.

Also I think this is a proper place to remind and credit all code creators from TW forum. Their code is part of Paradigm Worlds. You may also track them back to TW site, to check details.

CREDITS LIST:

MOST IMPORTANT: great thanks for the TLD for making their mod OSP. Thanks to all people from The Last Days mod for Warband.

I have used models and textures for creating whole faction of "tolkien" of my mod, as well I used many objects and textures for other in-game purposes. Armors, swords, bows – they are so many in my mod thanks to creators of mod The Last Days.
