Adding a new Trait

[PsiCorps]

Okay, i've been through all the Modding Tutorial pages and have been unable to find any guides on how to create a new Trait.

I did all of the XML work for the trait i wanted to create but when i load up the mod the trait doesn't appear.

I have to assume then from this that there is either an SDK or Python element to adding a new trait.

Can anybody shed any light on this?

Unless you want the trait to do something unusual, (see; tsentom1's python traits), its all XML. To add it to a Leader, you have to edit the LeaderHeadinfos. If you are using the BUG Sevopedia, it won't appear in the Traits tab unless you add it in (by python and XML), but it will appear under the leader.

No, there's nothing unusual about the trait.

To add it to a Leader, you have to edit the LeaderHeadinfos.

I did all of that which is why i posted.

If you are using the BUG Sevopedia

The B5 mod doesn't use any other Modcomps (at the moment).

Have you enabled logging (LoggingEnabled = 1) in CivilizationIV.ini? IF so, are you getting any errors in XML.log?

Did you clear the cache?
If not, the mod will not load the changed files, instead it will use the old ones, which are in the cache.

As a modder, you should directly disable caching in the civilization4.ini.

That's new, you're the first person that has mentioned that, how do i disable caching?

Open My Documents\My Games\BtS\CivilizationIV.ini with a texteditor (wordpad, notepad, whatever), and set

; Disable caching of file system (may slow initialization)
DisableFileCaching = 0

; Disable caching of xml and file system (may slow initialization)
DisableCaching = 0

both values to 1.
