Alright, bear with me on this. I apologize in advance, because I'm sure there's some very obvious turtorial somewhere that I just haven't been able to find, but this entire forum is positively enormous. :p

I want to add a new leader, for the Svartalfar. I've copied and renamed the entries of Faeryl in CIV4CivilizationsInfors.xml, CIV4LeaderHeadInfos.xml, and CIV4GameText_FFH2.xml. The leader "works" in game, in so that there's a reference to it when you choose leader (an empty box underneath Faeryl), but doesn't have any leaderhead(s) and crashes immediatly when you click it.

What I can't make heads or tails out of is ArtDefineTag (ART_DEF_LEADER_FAERYL, for example) (in CIV4LeaderHeadInfos.xml). Where does it lead, and how do I add my custom leaderheads? I can't seem to find the seperate parts anywhere, so I'm not even sure exactly what kind of images I need for it to work - A big image and a small icon is a given, but I don't know the sizes or the formats.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. :)

Edit: Well, I've managed to find my way to the CIV4ArtDefines_Leaderhead.xml, which appears to be where the ArtDefineTag/ART_DEF_LEADER_FAERYL ends, but it references "NIF" and "Button" to directories, stored in some .dds file. But I can't figure out where that directory is. When I do a search for the .dds files it references, I can't find them anywhere. :(
