Alright, I made the Canada Mod (in the Custom Mods forum) and it works perfectly when installed in CustomAssets. No problems.
When I try to use the 'Mods' directory, however, it simply doesn't load. It *says* that it's loaded (and it says 'Canada Mod' in the top right corner) but none of the Civ, Leaders, Pedia entries are available.
I copied the exact structure of thr American Rev. / Desert War folders. I've tried loading the mod from within the game (re-starting) and loading it straight away (Civ4 ini file). Neither works.
I'm at my wits end here as I cannot, for the life of me, understand what I could possibly be missing. For the record, the Amerrican Rev mod works perfectly.
The XML files cannot be the problem, as they work from CustomAssets. I don't know why my mod data won't load.
Thoughts anyone?
Second, I simply cannot locate a 'Cache' directory or any kind - not in the My Games\Civ4 or the Firaxis\Civ4.
I have hidden folders viewable for the entire C:\ tree, and when I go through the Civ4 folders one by one, I see nothing that looks remotely like a Cache directory. I see clearing the cache as solutions for a few problems, but I can't find this folder at all.
Any help would be appreciated. While CustomAssets works fine I do think the community prefers using the Mod folder, and I'd like to accommodate that.
