Huh. So you can. It wasn't working when I added my mod's buildings to a tech, for one reason or another. Works now, at least.
Love that you can load just the modinfo file, btw.

Now you just need to do the same for unit/building/civ/etc creation.

Ah. That would certainly explain my issue.

Yay! I've been waiting for this. What an excellent way to begin my day. A cup of coffee, five cigs and the latest version of the Indiestone Visual Tech Tree Editor.
Edit: Do I need to install it to somewhere special, because nothing happens when I click the IndiestoneTechEditor.exe?

How many files were in the zip? I just tried reuploading and the one up there was only 900 k which is way too small. I've done a few updates since I posted the first version a few hours back, so will have likely not put all the files in the zip on the last upload like a big silly.
Try DLing again now? there should be a bunch of files in there.

OK. That works a lot better. Thanks, man!
Holy Mother of God. It even looks impressive!

remember it's a really experimental build so be careful with your data and expect bugs.

I did some small stuff for my mod using the Indiestone Editor. I had no errors at all. Just one, and I can suit myself for that one. The program crashed when I tried to use an Icon Atlas that did not exist.
The files it spat out were excellent. My whole mod is updated with this great stuff now. I did some simple edits. I added some techs and moved World Wonders off into disabled techs since I don't want the World Wonders to be buildable. I reassigned buildings and units to suitable techs really easily, I disabled and enabled techs and expanded the Medieval Era. All the stuff I did worked on the first try and the mod plays like a charm!
I bet you will be going on to make an Idiestone Visual Editor for the whole game; editing unis and buildings and perhaps other stuff in there as well. The Indiestone Tech Editor is really recommended and a must-have for all modders out there. It does save you a lot of trouble and time. Thanks again, Lemmy, for the Tech Editor. You're doing good and very much appreciated stuff and you're making Civ5 modding into what it really should be.

The newest version is not working for me. When I try to run the application it gives me an error about the file path. It looks like it is using an incorrect path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Assets\Gameplay
Should be:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\sid meier's civilization v\Assets\Gameplay
So it seems to be missing the sid meier's civilization v part.
I can continue on into the program, but loading mods and such does nothing.

What happened to the Blank tree function? I can't seem to find it.

I get exactly the same thing as this... and when I go to the 'load' option, it's looking for files with the extension 'ismod' which doesn't exist... and no xml files can be selected.

That's cause you're trying to load an indie stone tech editor project that's saved when you export.
You need to 'Mod' your editor database with the 'Mod' menu.
