I'm trying to have some new options in Advanced Setup that when toggled send queries to the database to change settings (and revert them to vanilla when toggled off). Everything is working but the actual database changes, it seems. Below is one of the queries, which are dynamically built and...

Is it possible to load a Lua script or a database operation (XML/sql file) based on a custom function/event defined on a game file (say, an interface Lua file). For instance, I tried defining a new LuaEvents.OnCustomEventTest.Add(function() print("worked!") end), and in my Actions I would have...

I'm diving headfirst into Civ modding, learning and loving every bit of it. I can say my biggest bottlenecks at this point are testing and especially debugging, so I wanted to make a thread to share best practices on how to do those efficiently. To kickstart the sharing: I had heard prior to...

Has anyone managed to change even a string in the Mod Browser, or am I right in the suspicion that those UI files are locked and won't get replaced if we supply altered ones in a mod? I even tried something as simple as changing a TXT_KEY label, to no avail.

Is it possible with some SQL query? Or should I rather create a new table? And how do I specify the columns (and by extension the XML Schema) of a new table?

I'm rounding up the first release for a mod that aims to make City States more competitive and expansive while not necessarily aggressive, amongst other very cool to be announced features (as I'm whipping up some Lua). For now I want to set a roster with each Civ having 3 City States tied to...

So I finally got my barbarian challenge. Note first that I overcrowded a Standard Map (Terra Incognita) with 38 City States, and the standard number of Civs all on the Old World. Even then the savages got to thrive with a few encampments, spawning like rabbits. During the early game I had...

I think Mod Browser could really use that as one of the first updates. Having your name on the "Author:" be a link that took the person to a profile page you could fill up or even just links to mods by the same author. Of course, commenting both on the author page and then on a mod's page are...

I have two right now: 1- On AssignStartingPlots.lua I read again and again that Marble does help building wonders. I didn't know this was in, even looked again in the manual and couldn't find a reference to it. What is the order of magnitude of the bonus? 2- I'm playing a Small Continents...

If each City State would be ethnically associated with a Civ, how would you go about that? It can be from any point in history. Would any CSs need to be replaced, and by what other? It would be nice to get an even distribution of City States for the Civs (around 2 for each one), even if it means...

For those not in the know, see this thread. So tell us, which civilization would you most like to see being played live? I know you could answer "Civ V", so before you even do let me make it dead obvious I'm talking about which nation/leader ;) Optionally, let us know if you'd have different...

Hey folks, Being almost 2 weeks away from release, and still short on strategies' knowledge, I think it's a good opportunity to start setting a PBEM game for those into it, especially because civilization picks at this point are so full of innocence :D Isn't it just great? Nothing beats...

This is the extreme hype thread. List the most hype-worthy thing in CiV that's currently driving you insane not to be playing it. It doesn't have to be a new thing no one knows about, just your latest personal breakthrough. As you make new personal discoveries that surpass the previous ones in...
