You know the drill, attached is the usual diff to the artdef/xml/lua and a few other small files for the base game.

Please post any interesting changes to modding in this thread to make our own patch notes...

Seems we can now add/remove modifiers to units using this:
Code: 
pUnit:GetAbility():ChangeAbilityCount("ABILITY_XXX", 1)
Code: 
pUnit:GetAbility():ChangeAbilityCount("ABILITY_XXX", -1)

New tags in the workshop, great, but... how do we add them to an existing mod ?

I bet you can change through the workshop uploader when you update a mod.

Nop, it would require an update of the uploader if it's the only way to change tag.
 
These new Mod-Tags are interesting as long as they'll become usable once validated by whatever Firaxis staff/team has in mind.. but one really-very BIG question shall remain before anyone jumps into that wagon; who's gonna bother going through the entire Workshop content (over 2635+ as of this post!) and declare everything "correctly"??
More than three years in the making, that mega Library certainly has many aspects of complex variety to offer.. yet, if the official intent is to provide cool searching functions & components that will expose the real truth (past, present and future) from everywhere worth scanning -- i shall wait & see how that feature could somewhat help us all!

In the meantime, let's be rational please. I seriously doubt someone (Modders or anyone at Firaxis) will ever be able to tackle the giga tasks of re-freshing the whole facts currently stacked Online within a limited set of 4 generic types; AI + Gameplay + Scenario + UI.

I think only the next Expansion would activate this wild stuff -- better late than never, i suppose. :scan:

An 80+ MB update for the SDK just came online on Steam. :)
 
and 297 MB for the Assets
 
now, what's the purpose of all those DLL in the Firetuner folder ?

Some looks like duplicates of what's used with the AssetEditor, but some looks new.
 
Soooo.. that's what the SDK afternoon update is about? Activation of those newest Tags.
Or is there something more?

Seems SDK Assets (Pantry stuff) will also receive recent elements -- ::cross-fingers::!

PS.. Looks like somebody has already started parsing through Workshop files to update whatever Tagging steps need to be done. Surprisingly fast for sure. I have to wonder if some genius at Firaxis designed a proper algorithm to perform such daunting task. :lol:

The Asset Editor itself seems to have some small changes to layout, but also seems less stable - had it hang (not crash) a couple of times when playing ATTACK animations. Not seen that happen before. :(

That is just people doing it for their own mods using the updated Steam Workshop Uploader. Unfortunately, the categories are not that comprehensive no "Terrain", "Resources", "Wonders", etc.

What I've got now is some stingin' error with ridiculous issues which never did happened in previous versions. Particularly my experience with unit mods that have database XML file named with spacebar rather than '_'. With this I'm unable to run Asset Editor which this error didn't happen before. How strange!

It's a simple fix. Just rename the *.Art.xml to be what is expected. It's really not worth getting so frustrated over.
 
It looks like the following FireTuner panels have been updated:
Player.ltp
Unit.ltp
UI Units.ltp
Rivers.ltp
