Can't locate tutorial for common modding task

[Tenketsu]

Is there a tutorial anywhere for how to mess around with buildings? Adding new buildings, changing the effects of existing ones, etc? I know this is something done in most major modpacks, but I can't find a tutorial for it...

I would check the CivIV wiki here first:

Not sure about a better tutorial than that.

Yeah, I was looking around in that, didn't seem too helpful on the topic... Thanks though.

I think your best bet is to do what most of us did....download a smaller mod and mess around with it. This way you're sure to never touch core files. You'll learn a lot more seeing cause and effect that way IMO.

woodelf is right. I am working on the buildings right now for my HP Modpack. Most of the tags are pretty self-explanitory. The ones that arn't you can mess around with and see what happens. If I get done with my Movies Tutorial and there still isn't a Buildings one I might write it.

In the mean time, if you have any specific questions there are alot of people around here that would be happy to help.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. This is my first mod project, and I thought I'd start with the easy stuff--presumably buildings, heh. I was hoping I wouldn't have to bug people with too many questions, but I guess that's unavoidable. At least most of the tags are fairly simple...

That's what the C&C is for; asking questions and getting quick answers. Kael is always here for quicker help than I can give.
