Adjusting the Religion screen

[Colin]

Hello.

I am very new at python and am attempting to mod the religion screen (CvReligionScreen.py). Having modded the religions I now need to space them out more on the religion screen but despite having tried altering every variable I can find I can't seem to adjust how the religions (buttons, name, date founded, holy city, influence) are spaced. Could someone point me in the direction of where this information is please?

EDIT: Also, until a religion is founded I'm getting pink squares show up in the religions screen instead of the religion icon, does anyone know where to go to define a path for an icon showing the religion before it is founded i.e. greyed out?

I don't know that info at this moment but someone else made a scrolling Religions screen that may help if you are adding more religions. Here is the link:

I think the directory you are hunting for is "Art\Interface\Buttons\Religions".

Here are a couple old threads about editing religions in Warlords, the info may still be valid. See post#11 in this thread for some info I posted that may help: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=220195

Thanks for your input Amra.

The scrolling religion screen, as well as allowing more religions to fit on, seems to space the existing ones better too. I've actually reduced the number of religions in my mod but some of the names are longer so the text was running together - now they are spaced perfectly! The only downside is that I have no idea how this is working - python still = alchemy for me unfortunately.

I followed the other links and have managed to get rid of the pink squares too. The problem was that a yourreligion_d.dds file is needed in the folder you noted, but this file doesn't seem to be mentioned in the xml when religious art is defined, and this had thrown me.

Anyway thanks again for your help, appreciated.
