This is my first empire. It is based on the people of Superman's planet Krypton. I'm still working on it. Please take a look at it and tell me what you think. It works for the most part, no text errors or anything. Only the flag fails to work. (f anyone would like to help me in that regard I would really appreciate it)

There are 3 leaders; Kal-El, Jor-El and Zod
The Kyptonians have one special unit; The Supersoldier Squad

OK, well first off, you cant have TWO mod name files together, secondly you must have copied from Warlords files, or are you making this for Warlords?? If so why not BtS?:rolleyes:

btw Welcome to CFC!!!

Thanks, as to the Mod I don't understand what you mean by "two mod names". Where did I do this and how is it fixed?

Your "first" folder name is: Krypton, then your second is named Krypton, it should be everything after that there starting with Assets, ok.;)
And are you making this for Warlords?

I would prefer to make it for warlords, but it doesn't seem to work there.

I figured out what you meant about the two folders, thanks.

The Empire flag isn't appearing though. Any idea what might cause that? I made a flag and put it in the art defines civ folder.

After you get it together again correctly, delete the old FileFront file and put a new one there and i will take a look, ok.

Here is a slightly updated version of the Krypton empire. I still can't get the Flag to work and for some reason the team color doesn't seem to be consistent. That might have been because I was testing against the French though and I believe they are Blue, so maybe two Blue empires isn't allowed.

There are seems to be some problem with the special troop I made, The Supersoldier Squad. I didn't play to the point where they would have appeared, but in the civilopedia they didn't appear correctly so I didn't have high hopes. There was some error while loading about unit info and I don't what that referred to. All I changed in the unit info file was the name of the unit.

Please tell me where I might be going wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I want to later add A General Zod as another leader and maybe a Fortress of Solitude national wonder.

Just looked and i noticed you used DXT1 must be DXT3 for flags and buttons ok.

Also,in the LH area, if it is for Warlords, it looks like you used the vanilla LH info instead of the Warlords one.

Another thing to rememeber never add anything, unless it worked the time before, just food for thought is all.

Damn, I see what you mean. I can't figure out how to get photo shop to save it properly though. DXT3 is an option and I selected it, but it doesn't seem to change anything. Is the DXT3 supposed to be a 2D image, a cube or a volume texture?

Best thing to do is use DXTBmp for flags and buttons, just check out someplace on CFC that has a utility section.

Any idea how I can make this mod work for Warlords?

Also how can I incorporate this mod so it doesn't have to be loaded every time I want to play it?

You need work with Warlords files then, best thing to do, no offense, buy the BtS expansion, it works twice as nice and is alot better.:p
