Basic Modding?

[Zygmunt]

I try so hard to love this game, but it's hard. Basic modding would help. So i came across a good mod but technology and happiness are turned off. How about how to do i turn them back on again?

 

[Zygmunt]

Can someone help me? Why is it so impossible to find the world builder?

You have the Civilization V SDK installed, right?

 

[whoward69]

Click the Steam icon in the system tray, select Library, then in the Library window search for "civilization v sdk".

And in general, we're going to need a lot more detail than "a good mod"

 

[Zygmunt]

Thank you two for responding. Im just looking at turning back on science and happiness but if you want to know the mod its Rise of Rome - world in 400 BC (v.5). Seems like a damn interesting mod because the whole map is allready discovered and there's plenty of city states to plant my flag onto


Edit: all installed with the SDK, I guess you run it up and click on the map you want to edit and there you go?

Just perfect, I got happiness and research back on. Let me attempt to enjoy Civ V as much as i enjoyed Civ IV. Some weird reason Im here - Civ fanatics is fanatics of ALL Civ series - including V

Ouch! I reenabled happiness and sparta has a 23 unhappiness at game start. Is there anyway to mod that neutral or will in game mechanics take over and lower back down to 23 unhappy? And how do you change the fact that 15 years go by in every turn? it seems all the mods i've run into haven't changed that, so im guessing it's impossible?

post link to the mod and ill be more then happy to lend a hand i think i know what needs to be done.
but ill need to see the mod itself to be sure

it is possibble to change the years per turn,
but its not so simple.
if you changed them it effects by era and game speed.

look- into the gamespeed xml in your civ game files it looks like the fallowing code

Not sure we're the era coding effects it. But this is for the gamespeed

these will change the years per turn

these changes will be per era and gamespeed though

 

[ghost toast]

getting the game times to add up right is a tricky mistress. as you can have a games where science is prolonged or researched quickly

 

[Zygmunt]

So much easier to mod CIv IV than V. I'ts ok, you don't have to do the work. I try so hard to love Civ V but its not happening

 

[Zygmunt]

Ok so how do you add city states to a mod that doesn't have city states?

 

[ghost toast]

Depends on the mod.

I'd say look through the code some where they disabled city states.

Remove that code.

Not saying that is the solution but it is a good point to start.

With out seeing the mod it's hard to say, there are a variety of ways to do things.

Try looking in the lua of the mod or the map scripts.

 

[Zygmunt]

I couldn't find the box within the box options of what to add/remove from a mod. Seems like Civ V totally regressed from what Civ IV was, not made easier

 

[Zygmunt]

So i figured how to enable city states as much as i can and place them on the map. Is it it an easy thing to do to edit the calendar and not have so many years go by in one turn?
