Modders Guide to Civilization V

I just assumed it was because I'm a horrible artist. You may want to check your dds saving sharpening settings. Art guys could probably give you better advice.
No idea. I'm not an art guy.
Not sure then, sorry man.

Ah ha ha!
You clever rascal!I might have to do this in my WW2 mod when I place Hitler in as leader of the Germans.
Thanks for your help. I can't even imagine why it doesn't work. I tried reformatting everything into one file like the newly released Hebrew Civ (which works). And mine does not.
Staring at each line and seeing nothing wrong is driving me crazy.

Are you setting the OnModActivated line correctly? Keep in mind, if you do not set that property your file will never have an effect.

thanks i'll take a look at that. I appreciate it.
It's definitely set properly. The civilization WILL appear if I set it to use an existing leader, such as Elizabeth. If I try to use my new leader, it vanishes from the choice list in the game prep screen. I have checked the leader file I created up and down, many times. I've rewritten it, remade the file, reformatted it, everything I can think of on my own.

Hmm. Check the Database.log file after you try to load your mod. It's in My Games/Civ5/Logs/Database.log.
There are a bunch of txtkey errors (ignore them), but it should come up with any issues you have with your xml as well.

Ah, missed that.
H-uh. Only thing left I can say is to post your code, really; If you don't want it public you can PM it to me and I'll take a look.

Funny you should mention that. I am making a series of offensive mods (To just about everyone really) for fun. You know, the slightly twisted fun that you can't get nowadays.
So, uh, if it doesn't bother anyone that i'm bringing digital life to Hitler...
Spoiler :
I am showing you the copy where I put it all in one file so I knew it was definitely being loaded in the database.

I'll check it out. 
And I don't really think people should be offended by Hitler, frankly. It's a bad part of history, but so are some of the other leaders in the game. Hitler was just a recent evil son of a, and had access to more horrible weapons of war (On the other hand, that whole black death thing that hit europe? Yeah, good chance it was directly caused by the Khans. Same scale of death).

Kael, I followed the section of your guide about adding a custom building EXACTLY how it you have it. First I tried to make my own building, but it didn't seem to work, so I tried to make the palisade in the example. Even when I do everything exactly how you say to do it, I cannot build a palisade in the game. 
(Yes I enabled the mod ingame 
)
EDIT: I think the problem is that I didn't add the 'OnModActivated' action and all that stuff. I am going to add that now and hopefully it will work!

I'm kinda confused...
So, I converted a Civ IV map to a Civ V map via the world builder... but... it is actually a scenario map with cities/units. Now, I realize that all of the city/unit information may be lost in-game, but the cities are definitely present in the worldbuilder as are the improvements.
Is there anyway to open this scenario (with the cities/units/improvements present) in Civ V so that I can see the world and how everything looks?
The best I have been able to do so far is to start a new game on the map... but then I have an entire world of fog, and just the starting Settler/warrior.
Is there some part of this Mod guide that I should look at that details what I should do next with this map/scenario?
Or, can someone point me toward a particular thread that talks about this issue.
Eventually I do wish to make this into a full mod, but right now I am just trying to see what information was retained/lost in the conversion and how everything looks in-game...
I realize that some of the information is likely lost, or rather is not detailed in map file (since it would refer to information from my Civ IV mod). Knowing this would help me to decide whether to make a new map from scratch, or to keep the current one and modify it.
I am mostly interested in looking at the world in Civ V... how it would actually look/feel--similar to the Civ IV worldbuilder.
thanks,

Hiya
first: Kael, thanks for your work! (that cannot be said enough )
i`ve got a problem, though:
i wanted to make my own civ and tried to use Kaels Celts as base.
So i created a new mod and added all files into ModBuddy, recreating the folder structure of the "queen of the iceni" mod
Then i added all .xml-files with "OnModActivated - updateDdatabase"
well ... it doesn`t work. its the only mod currently installed, so there should not be problems with duplicate entries, but Boudiva isn`t showing up ... what am i doing wrong?
here is the text of the generated modinfo file:
and here the database.log:
the xml.log:
i am sure its a rookie mistake somewhere ... but where?
please

You spelled civilizations wrong when you created the folder (it actually doesn't matter how you spell it, except that its spelled differently in the project than how its spelled in the UpdateDatabase actions).
