modding civ 5

I've been learning modding and creating a bundle of new civilizations for civ 5 using XML. Artwork, unique units, unique buildings and the like are easy enough for me to make, but even with the help of guides I can't manage to create truly unique leader traits. I'm not talking about traits that...

Hello, first of all, i wish to apologize if i am posting this in the wrong subsection. Been reading the forum for years, but just now registered an account in order to ask something. So, i love the Vox Populi package, its the greatest. The smarter AI, the new Resources, the new dialogue text in...

Hello there, I recently decided to undergo a huge Civ 5 modding project, but the only issue is I've never modded Civ 5 before. With this mod, I'm hoping to change basically the whole game, brand new tech tree, entirely new civs, new units (hoping on making custom models), and new maps. However...

I am trying to test a modded civ that I am making, but each time I try to play as it (or with it), the game crashes. Here is the message I get from the log: And, for reference, here is the XML for my unique unit, without the text or gamedata parts, which I think may contain the problem: I...

Hey guys, I need some more Civ 5 modding help. I've done a remake of an old civilisation I once created and yet now it doesnt seem to work. (Does not appear when you choose to select a civilisation) However I have experimented with adding some new things, like starting with the sailing tech...

I am brand new to modding. I have been looking at adaptations to older modded civs to work in VP. My first question is there a schema for the database the game uses so I can be more confident in my SQL changes? another question do I need permission from the original modder to offer a patch...

I'd like to make my mod compatible with Rise to Power. I believe I've done everything that was necessary to make it compatible. However, there is one issue I'm having, which is trying to get my civilization to have unique Government names and Leader titles. For some odd reason, the game always...

So I have literally spent two days trying to get mods to work for Civ 5 multiplayer, but I have seen failure each method I have tried. From what I have gathered, I need to just insert the compatible mod into D: (name)/steam/steamapps/common/ Civ 5/ Assets/ DLC , however the game does not...

I’m trying to add the Carthaginian shophet from @JFD’s Hannibal mod as a 3rd UC for Carthage, but it interacts @Gazebo's CBP mechanics in a bad way. The unit is a GGeneral replacement that turns into a GAdmiral when it embarks and back again when it disembarks. This causes two problems: If I...

Hello, I am very new to modding in Civ V and Lua script as a whole, and I've been interested in making my own Civ. I loaded up a file of the Celts and began to modify it. Right now, I wanted to load my mod up and test it in its very unfinished state. When I load it up in Civ V, it is...

Hi there. I'm trying to make a new unique unit for the Shoshone for a 4 unique components mod specially balanced for the Community Patch. The CBP gives pathfinders to every civ, so they need a new unique unit to replace it. I need to make a unit based on the Yellow Brow (Ohamupe) military...

I've been working on my first mod for Civ 5 and I decided to make a Custom Civ. I wanted to make the UU gain +1 strength for every +2 happiness but every time I go into the game nothing happens. I see no errors in the log nor do I see any errors in my code. When the game loads, the promotion...
