The first things you can do is download the Civ 5 SDK from Steam and enable error logging. Here's a link that's help me. There's a list of tutorial links on the second post. http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=541578

When you say a lot more work are you talking like redoing the graphics engine and/or the DLL completely?

So basically I couldn't even add new terrain or reassign the graphics for the current terrain to new terrain graphics that are more "spacey?" Do you know of any other Civilization games that this might be easier or possible? I'm more asking because I'm curious about this.

I was more talking starships than Beyond Earth. Also, is there already a mod that does this?

This is probably a dumb question with an answer already, but how easy/possible would it be to make a new map system where the map was more like a map of the galaxy? Kind of like in Civilization IV with that science fiction space scenario except for Civilization V.

I'm not a particularly experienced modder either, here's a tutorial that might help. There are a number of other links in it to other tutorials. http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=541578

Hey Gilgamesch, I asked for help on the Civ 5 Creation and Customization forum and someone directed me to this post: http://http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=546708 I think that I'm experiencing the same bug you said you experienced. Could you tell me which vanilla techs...

I've added some print statements to the TechTree.lua file and it seems to add all of the pipes just fine. The problem does seem to be with the lua files but I'm not sure which one. I've looked at the SystemInit log in the MyDocuments folder, the function that seems to be having problems is the...

OK, thanks for the help. I'll try that too. EDIT: OK. I'm not fluent in Lua but I've done a bit of Java before so I hope that isn't a problem. Also, are there some tutorials that can show me how I would put in those print() statements you mentioned? Thanks, and sorry if I'm being a nuisance.

Thanks for the response. That thread does seem relevant in the issue I am having. I think I'll look into that. Do you (or anyone reading this) know of any other particular tech(s) that seem to trigger this bug? That thread mentioned the rocketry tech and my mod seems to be having trouble with...

I've been trying to get a mod I've been working on to load onto the game. I've tried waiting 10 to 15 minutes for the mod to load and it won't. An un-modded game works fine so I don't know what is happening. The issue seems to be when I add the monotheism and anti-siege tactics technologies as...

I have been trying mod civilization using Mod Buddy and for a while it was working but after I downloaded the Microsoft office, it stopped working and this message appears on the start page. I think it goes beyond the start page because I can't create any new mods or even open the one I'm...

Just a question/ a suggestion. I was hoping I there would be a section on implementing Lua code into the game. I have looked at some of the tutorials at the modiki and some other places and I am still confused. What exactly would be the equivalent way to edit the lua coding in the same way one...

Hi, it's me again. I have managed to get the techs into the game using SQL and I have managed to get most of the new text into the game. However, the tech tree instead of being the vanilla one is blank and the new Medieval Era techs text is not being inserted into the game. I searched the forums...

Hi, I'm a new modder trying to make a total conversion mod. I am trying to convert my XML files into the SQL format as suggested by someone who was helping me with my mod on the forums. I just had some quick questions. 1. With my mod, I'm trying to add a lot of new stuff so I think it may be...
