Changing number of months

[stolenrays]

I am trying to change the number of months in a year to accomodate a calendar change in my game. I'm pretty sure it is in these files somewhere because if I add months, the .dll causes an exception. Any tips on what to do?

What did you change? because AFAIK you only need to change Civ4MonthInfos.xml and add the relevant text

It is really weird. I just add a month the the monthinfos.xml and then it crashes after one turn. I moved the file out of the mod and then back in and now no crashes.

..mmhh...wait...GameSpeedInfos.xml, there was a problem.
Originally, with 12 months, the game will crash when you put something into the increments sections which is not a multiple of 12.
I guess if you now have 13 months...civ will not be able to calculate the date advancements for e.g. 120 months, because that's not whole years.

Yeah, when I rebooted, I got more crashes. I even had 144 months (divisible by 12), but still more crashes. Doesn't make any sense.

Actually, I think that might work since my crashes were due to something else. Thanks people.
