Hello all!

I have a request here...

A while ago, someone here made a blank XML, which was a great help to many modders, allowing them to make a brand new mod much quickly without the hassle of taking out old things and screwing up the game.

Sadly, however, this blank XML was only for vanilla version.

Therefore, can anyone be willing to make a "Blank XML" not just for me, but for many of the modders here? It will really help! :)


Heres the link to the original blank XML:

they bundled one with Warlords. "barebones mod"

hey dude, why don't you make it, then you could release to us and get all the glory!!

ack, i'm already a little busy. :D

and last time i tried it wasn't very pretty.:D

The reason nobody says, "Here, I made this for myself when I started modding and I'm willing to share," is that the process of creating a barebones mod teaches you so much you don't actually finish creating it, you just make what you were trying to make. Perhaps people could post barebones versions of individual xml files, such as BuildingInfos stripped to just the palace. Another problem is how barebones do you mean? Do you strip just to Palace, or do you leave in special buildings because if you take them out, they start getting screamed for unless you take out the fiile that's screaming for them. You learn which parts are in C or Python or something and cannot be messed with, and which parts are referred to by which other parts of the xml. If you hand the stripped mod to somebody who hasn't done this, will they build it up right?
