Part 9:Adding the Pictures - XML(Art Defines Civilization and Art Defines Leaderhead)
Now we add in the (rest) of the pictures, completing the necessary parts to play the mod.
Open up CIV4ArtDefines_Civilization.xml and scroll to the bottom.
Paste this under neath the last </CivilizationArtInfos>: <CivilizationArtInfo>
<Type>ART_DEF_CIVILIZATION_YOURCIV</Type>
<Button>,Art/Interface/Buttons/Civilizations/civbutton.dds</Button>
<Path>Art/Interface/TeamColor/civflag.dds</Path>
<bWhiteFlag>1</bWhiteFlag>
</CivilizationArtInfo>
Change the type tag so that your civs name is there.
Then Change the button and path tags to their respective path and files.
Now, bWhiteFlag tells the game to actually use the texture for the flag its pointed to.
So in my case Ill actually see the Australian flag.
Now open up CIV4ArtDefines_Leaderhead.xml, again scroll to the bottom.
And where is something else to copy and paste into it: <LeaderheadArtInfo>
<Type>ART_DEF_LEADER_YOURLEADER</Type>
<Button>,Art/interface/LeaderHeads/leaderbutton.dds</Button>
<NIF>art/interface/LeaderHeads/Leaderhead.dds</NIF>
<KFM/>
<NoShaderNIF/>
<BackgroundKFM/>
</LeaderheadArtInfo>
Remember to paste it after the last </LeaderheadArtInfo>
Again change the Type tag so it has your civs name.
And change the button and NIF tags to point to your leader button and Leaderhead, respectively.
In the original ones, the NIF points to some kind of 3D file, or some such.
Because we cant import our own (yet), we can make the NIF point to a .dds, but then we have to close up the other 3 tags that are there, because theyre not needed.
Now, if either I or you havent done anything wrong, your civilization should be playable.
Theres a few more things to do, but for now you can play.
