Imperialism Remake Community

Finally I got it working. Installing the latest version is as easy as "pip install imperialism_remake" and starting it as easy as typing "imperialism_remake_start" in a console everywhere on Windows, Linux or Mac (I hope). I will advertise this prominently when there is time for ...

Hi Robert, nice to hear from you and thanks for the encouraging words. That motivates me. At the current level there is not much to test but I hope for many such tests in a few months when the game has progressed more. Hope to see you then.

Otherwise, both 64x64 and 80x80 seem fine to me. As for quantity of tiles on screen, that could be tied to resolution; with tile pixel sizes being constant (not scaling with higher resolutions), instead more of the map being shown at greater resolutions. I thought about it a bit more and I think we...

I did more research on how to package data with your PyPi package. There are some constraints I'm not so happy with but I guess I can make it work. Data files are deployed as egg (zipped) which make them effectively read-only and I still wonder (since there are already the scenarios as zipped files)...

I wonder, did you do these provinces for another potential remake of Imperialism or for another game or why do you have such a list ready?

I have a couple of questions: 1. Why the 80x80 tile size, rather than a power-of-2 size (i.e. 64x64), which is more standard? 2. Is there any reason why Veneteaou's tiles aren't in the game's repository? To 1.: I had made some initial tests for finding out what looks good. The tiles in the original...

Really good suggestions! 8-) Yes, I know we cannot just use the content from the original, but I needed something to get all the rest started. For the Europe scenario the second map looks good. I know that modern computers are more powerful, so large maps shouldn't be a problem, however for the basi...

Pyqtdeploy unfortunately didn't work right out of the box either, it even exited without warning when I wanted to start the build. I also didn't understand what's the advantage over pyinstaller - obviously there is an additional compiling step in the middle but does this increase execution speed? I ...

Yes, I have at github. https://github.com/Trilarion/imperialism-remake

That reminds me, I should maybe make one fixed post somewhere here in the forum with all important locations.

I wanted to make a release and create a Windows executable but it turns out, pyinstaller, the Python windows executable manager has big problems with PyQt5.7 and still cannot wrap it. Manually copying lots of files from the site-packages folder of my Python installation may fix the problem, however ...
