Question A very basic question ?



Hello,

I would like to ask a question about the mods... How can I create a mod ? I mean from the totally beginning. For the moment, I use the existing mod and modify them. But how can I create a total new one without copying the ini file of an other ?

First step, learn XML, python and/or C++.

After that, come up with a concept.

Then code it.

I looked long and wide for that...
You simply make a folder in the mod folder of the c:\programes\... directory... with the name of the mod you'd like to make. then start copying and pasting files from the "assets" folder of civ4's main directory to a duplicated "assets" folder in the new mod folder, play around with those, and whoot! MOD!

That's what I'm already doing... So it doesn't exist some kind of editor for the Mods, we are obliged to paste the existing files..
