Hukkak Revised Extra Civs Pack

I've revised the original Hukkak's Extra Civs Pack that added 20 new Civs to the game.

- Works with CIV5 1.0.1.167.

- Available through in-game mod browser.

- Fixed some traits that didn't work they way Hukkak intended.

- Removed Mongol since it is in free DLC.

- Implemented the awesome icon graphics and color suggestions from TypoTX.

- Renamed conflicting City State names.

- Renamed some conflicting new Civ City names.

- Relatively easy to disable one or more of the Civs.

What about a few maps, with these civs ?

Would be like nice if we have an Ancient Civs Earth Standard Map...

I am not a mod expert, but there seems to be a problem with this one. I think in the vanilla game palaces yield 4 science at the start. With these civilizations, for whatever reason, the palaces only yield one science. It's tough to play when it takes 38 turns to grab a first level tech!

Im not sure if this mod causes the prob but when i play against a few civs,some of the leader screens show no dialogue. Just options for me to click like Trade,Discuss etc

sean, how did you bypass the uploading error?

The vanilla game Palace (from the XML) has 2 gold, 2 production, and 3 science. When I run with this mod and this mod only, The Palace looks just like the vanilla game except for Ethiopia.

This mod doesn't override the Palace building class characteristics. It does, however, implement a trait using a free building in every city for the Ethiopian. When you grant a free building, you have to change the Palace definition. I thought the changes would be additive, but they are not. The Ethopian Palace is definitely messed up, granting only +1 culture.

Can you verify that you had only the problem with Ethiopia?

Version 3 is on its way.

I'm not absolutely certain, but I think the problem was due to the overall size of the mod.

Hukkak's original didn't compress the Dawn of Man (DOM), Map files, or Atlas files. When I compressed them, the overall size dropped below 10 MB and it uploaded fine.

I don't understand what you are describing. So far, playing as the Hukkak Revised Civs and also playing against them, my son and I have not seen this, except for the very first time you meet a civ.

Are you describing the situation where you are playing as one of these new civs or against them? Are you saying that the leader screen never have any dialogue?

Looks like I spoke to soon! I can now confirm that the problem is only with Ethiopia, they were the Civ I was trying to play. I will look forward to version 3.

Nice mod, i like the sumerians.
Have a lot of fun to rule them as Gilgamesch

Version 4 now available via CivFanatics download area http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=16524

This is just a minor update to fix some of those "TXT" errors -- no real functionality changes.

I would upload to the in-game mod browser, but that appears to be broken now per http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?p=10254011

Mr. Sean

might be a wrong place to ask, however since it concerns about your extra civ pack i would like to ask it here. im trying to add the Kingdom of Hungary to the game for 2 weeks still without any success (furthest i could go was full of TXT errors... cant find salvation about that neither. :S ), so as last resort ive simply taken Assyria from the pack and renamed it with the exception of the first line (<Civilization>Civilization_Assyria</Civilization>) and.... it worked. however if i try to change that line, it goes boom. not appearing anymore.

im eager to know the reason and the how to's about it, since wasted more than enough time rewriting the whole mod 4 times. and if possible i would like it added to your civilization package(icons,dom ready, just need testing:S)

it might be only my stupidity, but i would be grateful for your or anyone elses help.

I know generally the cause of the "TXT" stuff you are seeing. I'm not sure what else you are asking, however. Given your actual Hungary mod package, I'm sure I could find the exact problems you are having. Have you published your mod?

The file you attached isn't really your Hungary Civilization. As you said, it is a version of the Hukkak Extra Civ Pack, with a couple of edits. I don't understand how you generated the package. It has a different Mod ID so you seem to be using ModBuddy, but I'm guessing you are using an old version of ModBuddy since the modinfo file is missing the "import=" tag for the <Files> section. I really recommend you get the most recent version of ModBuddy/SDK from Steam.

I'm not sure how appropriate it is to add Hungary to the Hukkak Extra Civ Pack. I didn't actually create the original "Hukkak". It was done by someone name Hukkak when Civ 5 first came out, but various Civ5 updates (and a couple of misconceptions by Hukkak) broke it badly. Since it appeared to be abandoned (but popular), I reworked it as an exercise. I also went against the grain for the way I put all the XML for a Civ into pretty much one file instead of the way Kael describes. I did this to make it easier for someone to disable Civs from the pack.

Truthfully, the Hukkak revised isn't a good model for a single Civ mod. My "Nightmare Before Christmas" http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=411973 Civilization would be a much better starting place. It is a single Civ with a custom building, custom unit, and custom artwork.

The "TXT" errors are usually caused by 2 things. 1) The object defined as "TXT_blah_blah_blah" doesn't have the corresponding entry -- seems like you have a handle on that; and 2) If there is ANY duplication of a "TXT_blah_blah_blah" while the Mod is loaded, it seems to break all text. The Kael guide that most people used for creating mods is mostly correct, but various Civ5 game updates make following it strictly, incorrect.

Your attached file doesn't have your complete Hungary Civ with the Leader, so I can't tell what specifically is wrong, but the convention I implemented for "TXT" stuff is to make the names really unique so there is very little chance of the same name in either the vanilla game or with another mod. So, for an example using a city name

<Civilization_CityNames>
<Row>
<CivilizationType>CIVILIZATION_ASSYRIA</CivilizationType>
<CityName>TXT_KEY_ASSYRIA_CITY_NAME_ASSUR</CityName>
</Row>
</Civilization_CityNames>
<Language_en_US>
<Row Tag="TXT_KEY_ASSYRIA_CITY_NAME_ASSUR">
<Text>Assur</Text>
</Row>
</Language_en_US>

You want to make sure the "TXT_KEY_ASSYRIA_CITY_NAME_ASSUR" is totally unique. In the vanilla game, they used objects like "TXT_KEY_CITY_NAME_BUDAPEST." I'd even hazard a guess that your specific problem might be that you have defined exactly that Hungarian city name and it is conflicting with the City State name definition from the vanilla game.

I'd even go further, now, and make those entries actually be something like "TXT_KEY_HUKKAK_ASSYRIA_CITY_NAME_ASSUR" or in your case, "TXT_KEY_CETAI_HUNGARY_CITY_NAME_BUDAPEST" or the like.

As far as problems with adapting the "CIVILIZATION_ASSYRIA" to "CIVILIZATION_HUNGARY", you need to change the name everywhere in the XML, not just in the <Civilizations>. That includes City Names, Building and Unit overrides, Leader, and starting conditions.

hmpf. well thank you, sadly i cant update modbuddy (alas read about importing to VFS a lot on these forums which is missing from it, might be the cause of the import tag :S )

ill try to remake an older (and fully complete) of this mod then bearing the txt problems in mind (already knew about Budapest, but the historical capital of Hungary is actually Buda, Pest was an another city on the other side of the Duna river, so ive made them separated). My problem was that ive edited many things that appeared correctly(civ name, history, etc) but when i changed that tag (CIVILIZATION_ASSYRIA) it all went poof.

anyway thank you for your help, ill check out Jack Skellington later

Is the Ethiopian issue fixed in V3? I tried V4 and I'm still only getting one science after I found a city.

I don't see the point in giving civs traits that are just combinations of other civs traits.

Yes, it was fixed in version 3. Version 4 is working fine. After founding the capital, there is 4 science in the city screen. I don't know what to say.

I guess you should make sure the original Hukkak is not also active in the mods when you set up a game. You might also want inspect your mods directory and manually delete all but the version 4.

When I download this through the in-game mod browser, and it finishes, it doesn't show up in my installed ones... or anywhere, in fact, besides the download screen. And when I go to the set-up screen, none of the civs show up. When I go to my MODS folder, the download shows up as being there, but when I try to run it in-game it doesn't see it.

Any tips on getting this content to show up in the "Installed" tab to be activated/enabled?

That is really strange. If the folder is in your [My Documents]\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS directory, then your game believes it HAS installed it. Are all the files in the "Hukkak Revised Extra Civs Pack (v 4)" directory? There should be an Art folder, XML folder, and a .modinfo file. Have you tried removing the "Hukkak Revised Extra Civs Pack (v 4)" directory from MODS and re-installing from the in-game browser?

I just did exactly that as a test. The mod downloaded and installed just fine for me. It looks like the current game version is 10.0.1.221.

I take it you have used the in-game browser to install and use other mods? So it can't be the noob problem of failing to go to the Mods area when starting a new game. Do you have an "Install Mods" button in your "Installed" screen?

Actually, this is the first mod I've tried to install for V... though I have installed and used plenty of mods for cIV (Sevomod user) and cIVcol (AoE2).

What appears in my MODS folder is a single file, labeled "d4e9a196-0cbf-447c-a4bb-825714849b2a-4.civ5mod". No folders or files are extracted from that.

I do know enough to go to the MODS area to start a Modded game, though, thanks.

In my "Installed" screen, all I have is the free Mongols scenario, not enabled. There is no "Install mods" button that I can see.
