A more advanced tutorial would help. Units, buildings, etc. How do I make my unique civ building be an improvement type of building vs a city center building? What I want to do is make a leader that can make cannabis. Unique unit is a weed farmer that can create or delete a cannabis luxury (that's the civ's unique building/improvement) resource on pretty much any tile, infinite times, but can't improve other tiles. Every weed corporation (3 luxuries) allows a new weed farmer. Then I want my civ ability to be like every city with a domestic trade route receives double amenities. Just more general complicated mechanics and tips how to set things up that I have no clue how to change the values of without messing everything up on this software would help

When I downloaded Development Tools the first time, it made me install some kind of Visual Studios shell (2013 I think?) before I could open ModBuddy. The only problem is that ModBuddy proceeds to crash after moving the mouse a little or clicking something while opened, so it’s effectively useless. I cannot open ModBuddy in a newer version of video studios (2017), even after uninstalling the old one. (Not sure if any files are hiding though.) It always tries to run with the old version and just continues to freeze incessantly. So I have no way to get ModBuddy to work, and I’m kinda bummed out. Do you have any idea how to fix this? @Josh Atkins

First time trying this, video was really helpful and easy to follow. After doing a basic setup and doing all the art, game text, etc, when I went in game to test it I did something wrong. All pictures were question marks, I've read the quick fixes on that and will double check, but the other thing that happened was it erased all my in game text (dialogue, city names, you know) and put it back to what was in your template. Any ideas? Also, one thing I wasn't clear about from the video...when I use ctrl-h to rename things, does this rename everything? Or do I need to manually rename all image and dialogue things, as well. Sorry if this is really basic stuff, just trying to figure it out.

Ok, I didn't see an answer to this anywhere else, so I'll throw my fix. I am new to modding, so I these are pretty much just guesses to where the bug is. Still, it fixed it for me The double colon is not the issue, even if it says it is. You can close all the files, build again, and the colon errors are gone. Under all the colon errors you should have a couple different errors, these are the actual issues. So, what I did: 0. (Disabled all addons, not sure if this affects anything) 1. Revert all the changes I did around the project. Most likely the issue is because of the JRA_CUSTOM_CIV mass search & replaces. Thank god for git 2. Replace the Mod.Art.xml with the one that came from the package. Then swap my own name & id at the top, no other changes. 3. Clean & build. Now, I essentially have the Wales mod, and nothing of my own. I'll probably start doing small edits at a time to see what might cause build errors and what is harmless.

May have made a comment about this yesterday when I first watched the video before I started actually making the civ, but whatever... Can you explain what you mean at 19:10? I changed CUSTOM or whatever it said as a generic civ name and generic leader name. I changed it to my own civ's name and leader's name, and I changed it in every file in the project. As far as I know, the only part that didn't change was the icon file names part. Should I now change all the icon file names to my leader's name (written in the same way)? I'm assuming that's what you meant in the video? In addition to that, is there anything else I need to do after changing the generic civ name to my own custom civ's name? e.g. any more file names to change?

Thank you, I changed the file names and loaded my civ for the first time. I'm noticing a few problems though. First, the description text of my leader/civ abilities on the civilization select screen and the loading screen appear as LOC_blahblahblah. My unique building's text works fine though, for some reason. Next, none of my art is working. The colours work but not the art. It shows a question mark wherever my custom-made art should be appearing and I don't know why. I have read through the comments on this video and someone named 'Aminoff' had the same problem as me with their own custom art, but I don't understand their explanation of how they fixed it. Do you know what the problem may be? (I was mostly worried that my unique leader/civ bonuses wouldn't work, but they actually worked first try so I'm happy about that :D still have more to add though)

But if I search for any specific, existing civilizations (Egypt, Cleopatra, Scythia, Teddy, etc.) nothing shows up. So I can't find the text from the wildcards, policies or other leaders. I have done a lot of googling, but without learning where to locate this information. Any help would be much appreciated!

I've been following this guide a few times but I've never gotten it to work properly. So I decided to not edit any of your files (since they are all from your Wales example) and keep the code you left, just to see where I went wrong. The mod loads fine and is playable, but all custom pictures and icons do not work. (I've opened them with gimp and they are all the same as what you made them to be), and this is without even touching the original files. How come?

@dingchat555 7 жыл бұрын

Interesting. My art isn't working for either of my 2 custom civs, and I was going to try loading a mod without editing the template but was simply too lazy haha. At least I now know I'm not doing anything wrong -- looks like it might be a problem with the template itself?

@dingchat555 7 жыл бұрын

Ok, I figured out part (or all) of it with the help of another KZfaq user who had the same problem, and with the help of a few users on the civfanatics forum. For those who are looking to this comment for help, this comment SHOULD fix a problem where your custom artwork and icons do not work (shows a question mark, etc.) Note that I am new to modding and won't be able to help you beyond this; in fact, this may not even work for you at all. But it's worth trying what I did. I'm not sure whether you fixed it on your own already, karl95hansson; but just in case you didn't (and even if you did, since this will help other people too), here is what I did to fix most of it: First, a civfanatics forum user told me to include parts of this code in my ModArt file: The structure for this code is already included, so don't just copy and paste the above code. Just insert the parts that are missing. Unfortunately this was not enough to fix my problem. Next, a youtube user said he used the downloaded template's mod art file, and it worked (he was having the same problem as me, turns out that he just didn't use the exact mod art file in the template provided). Instead of just importing that file, I found where the differences were. This will probably be the easier method, compared to importing it and having to change stuff again, like the mod's ID thing. The problem lies under , just like before. To fix it, just copy what is written in relativePackagePaths into your own modart file. This should fix most, or all, of the art issues. The reason I say "most" is because I'm still having an issue where if I click on my custom leader in-game to speak to them, it shows Cleopatra on a black background. I think this error is still occurring because since I changed the art file names from leader_custom and civ_custom, I thought I should change LEADER_blahblahblah under relativePackagePaths too. I think I just didn't change it to the right thing, or maybe changing it isn't necessary at all. I will re-test this out later and comment on here again once I get all the art to work properly. Hope this helped anyone that had the same issue as me.

@carlberentzen699 6 жыл бұрын

Hi, I was going through this, and I noticed that the custom civ won't even load with the Gathering Storm ruleset...only in Standard Rules will it even recognize the existence, even though the Mods list says it's here. How do I apply the civ to all the different rule types, and not just standard? The text works, but the graphics referenced a different character from the stock game, leading to all sorts of weirdness involving wonky proportions, and the leader face being someone else. Where is the reference file? Mod.Art.xml - this one has an error from the portion and it says "Multiple colons are not allowed in an XML name according to the XML Namespace specification." So I tried different formatting styles with one colon, and no colon (having it all nested like the rest of the code), but none of that seemed to work.

cant seem to work out how this mod thing stores data, move to the folder, delete the stuff fine, wanna add it, has to be done from the thing being open not drag drop, copy paste.... thats painfully weird

I get this error whenever I build it, EXEC(0,0): error asset: (UIErrorTexture) and I get it twice, do you know how to fix it? it does say ========== Build: 1 succeeded or up-to-date, 0 failed, 0 skipped ========== after both errors but I don't see the modded civ, even though I see it in additional content

Does this still work? I've been putting a lot of time into making a new civ, but the icons won't show up in the game. Was there possibly an update that changed that part of the game?

@cuseholmes4124 6 жыл бұрын

Sometimes the dependency file doesn't build correctly, that's usually the main cause of textures/icons not loading despite the game loading the mod correctly.

yeah, my civ is not showing as an option even though i got no errors and the mod is enabled in the menu.

What should one do if the project builds without any errors, and the mod appears in the additional content list, but the civilization does not appear in the list of civilizations during game setup? Or in other words, what could cause this problem?

Go into your log files, something like: documents/mygames/civ6/logs and read gameplay, database and mods .log to find the error.

I hadn't thought to do that. The database log is stating unique constraint failed, and references a flurry of different things. The modding log is stating errors loading multiple SQL and XML files. But it isn't giving any information beyond that. I've copied your template exactly, and I've also made some of my own, and none of them are working. I have no idea what the problem is. I guess I'll fiddle around hitting wrenches against things until something works.

Yeah it's not an exact science as there is no user friendly tools or guides, it is only what we can reverse engineer or get to work by sheer trial and error, took me about 8 hours to get my own working when I first started.

I think I've isolated the problem to the .tex files which accompany the .dds files in the Textures folder. But I still haven't been able to figure out what it's complaining about. Can you think of anything in those files that might be causing errors?

How come you didn't need to add textures in Asset Editor?

The whole Visual studio/ModBuddy is totally glitched out and giving errors for instance, at part 17:30 I only get a text "00190FF FF FF FF FF FF FF ...................." instead of the painter tool

Hey, about a month ago I followed your tutorial to make an Andorra mod. I had some issues that I didn't know how to fix: my custom artwork doesn't work, and I'm getting an error in the Database.log that says "no such table: Types" in the Buildings file. Fast forward to today, where I put the Andorra mod 'on hold' and created my own Madagascar mod following your tutorial once more. I am having the SAME ISSUES! I was hoping you could help me out. Note that the Database.log says nothing about the custom art that I made. When I say 'my custom artwork doesn't work', I mean that where you should see my custom artwork, it shows a question mark icon, etc. Any ideas? I really want to make my own fully-functioning mod but am not sure how to deal with these issues. Thanks in advance
