Scripted triggers and effects sounds like it'll be saving a lot of duplicate code.
Yes as in any languages functions remove duplicated code, this will be a really good improvement to modding!
Update:
- Added folder structure for defines
This one will work a little different than other folders though because of it being in lua. The game will still keep its define.lua file under common and it will always be read first. But there is now a folder called defines in which users can add any number of lua-files which overwrites only those values specified.
So for instance you can add a file called GarsDefines.lua that only changes the value of DEMESNE_BASE_MAX_SIZE. The syntax for overwriting a define will look like this:
So in short, every mod can have their own unique defines file containing only those defines it alters.

This is a great! Any chance of this being ported to EUIV when you back working on that game?
I've restored the "implemented in upcoming patch" section on the wiki page, and moved the folder exports to there.
Is this description for the section fine?
"The following suggestions have been implemented by Captain Gars in an upcoming patch, and should thus eventually be in the game. Do note that this doesn't necessarily mean the next patch, just a future one, and that delays sometimes happen."
What happens if two different mods try to override the same value?
The later one will just overwrite the value again. So whatever file is loaded last will decide the value of the define.
Makes sense.
Using dependencies will ensure the mod calling the dependency will always get loaded last, right? Or is that only for actual conflicting files?
Another question, is there anyway we could get combat_tactics exported to a folder define? I know it is obscure, but I tend to like having custom tactics.
Ok, I backtracked in the thread, I bloody love you
Finally, I can finish my custom special unit mod. One question, will there be a folder structure for scripted triggers to enable better mod compatability?

I wish it was now, these new features are things I have been waiting for for months, to namely complete my special_units mod, which as I am sure as everyone is aware requires the impletementation of unit specific combat_tactics, technology and modifier definitions to be viable alongside the generic units.
Yes, both scripted triggers and effects will have their folders.

With max wards, will that screw with the interface as usually adding extra wards via events makes them hang off of the edge of the character sheet.
