This is a notice to all modmoder's only, it doesn't really matter for anyone else.

Rise of Mankind 2.8 will have RevDCM 2.6 in it. RevDCM 2.6 will have BULL in it. BULL adds more interface features, and among them are mini-icons of built buildings when hovering cities. This is very helpful, except that when using buildings, no spaces can exist to the path to the building icon, or the mini-icon will be pink; even if the civilopedia icon shows fine.

For instances, my Beautification Project modmod.
1.) First off, the name needs to be changed to "Beautification_Project" so there are no spaces in the directory.
2.)Then, in my Art folder, my dds icon name is "Castle Garden.dds". This needs to be changed to "Castle_Garden.dds".
3.)Once that's done, make sure you change your CIV4ArtDefines_Building.xml.

This only applies to buildings, so everything else can remain as is.
 
Thanks for the notice. Good think I was planning on posting balancing updates of all my past modules anyways.

I have one question, would simply deleting spaces work, rather than using underscores? (i.e. "paramilitary corps.dds" becoming "paramilitarycorps.dds"). I just need to know since some of the files are already in that format by coincidence.
 
Anything works, as long as WHITESPACE is not somewhere in the name or the folder name. I just wanted all the modmoders to know, since I just compiled the latest RevDCM build for 2.6, and it has BULL it in. It was a bit of a surprise to see all those pink squares again. At least the fix is easy.
