Changing Artstyles

[Tegea]

Heya'll,

how do i change citystyles? Compared with Orbis, some of Rifes citystyles just don't look awesome, have a look at bannor cities for example. I neeeeeeed to change this, but unfortunatly, i'm a noob in modding.

I liked how in Orbis when you built cottages the buildings would be the same style as your cities

Artstyles are in CIV4CivilizationInfos.xml. Just copy the ARTSTYLE tokens from Orbis (and /xml/art/CIV4ArtDefines_Civilization.xml entries corresponding to them) and appropriate art files in /art/ folder. It's a lot of tedious copypasting work, that's all.

Not nearly that simple. Most of the work is actually in Civ4CityLSystem and Civ4PlotLSystem, both in XML/Buildings.

Well, yeah. I forgot about that, sorry. I haven't changed city artstyles for a long time .

Well, if I tried that I'd probably break something, so I'll make do with what we've got.
