Civ 5 Civ Mod not loading

[Santiak]

Hi,

Been reading around a bit, and took a shot at creating my own civ (Ainu - aboriginal Japanese).
I haven't added everything, but tried to add placeholders to the parts i've still to touch on.

However, after having loaded the mod from the mod list, the civ doesn't show up either as selectable, or as an option in the advanced menu.
I've looked things over and tried to see if i can find what's wrong - but i'm a complete beginner at modding, so I'm limited in regards to being able to see what could be the bug.

I've made sure my .dds' are flagged as VTS True, my xml are now also flagged to see if that made any change, but alas.
I've checked for spelling errors or tags to void, but haven't been able to see any

I've looked over the logs in my Firaxis folder, but nothing out of the ordinary shows up.

I've added my mod if anyone is interested in taking a closer look. Which would, of course, be much appreciated <3

Oh, and i've used Kaels Modders Guide to get started. But I've written the code(?) from scratch, instead of copy/pasting it, in an attempt to avoid tagging voids by mistake.

[Edit: Found a faulty line in the Texts file, refering to "TXT_KEY_CIV5_CELT_1" instead of "TXT_KEY_CIV5_AINU_1". I've fixed this and reverted VTS flags on xml files to false - and uploaded the updated build.]

[Edit²: Added some more details to Leader and Traits files, as well as changing those lines of code i found that i suspect could cause the mod to not load properly. Still doesn't however, and logs are still silent. Upload updated as well]

[D'oh Edit: *rages at lower case "L" looking like upper case "I". Still didn't work. Uploaded again.]

Gone through the files countless times now, it's - from what i can see - identical to other mods i've downloaded and tried.
So something is missing, but I have no idea what :S

Help would be really appreciated <3

[Edit: Just had a go at purposefully bugging a working mod - thought it was odd there were no output in the logs about why my own mod isn't loading. No output for that mod either, even though it went from working to not working?]

[\o/Edit: Got it working, still a lot of issues - dds' cant load, TXT not translating, but at least it can be loaded now.]

Mod is finished, everything's loading, haven't game-tested it extensively yet, but so far so good. Will start a new thread and upload it in the appropriate forum.

I seem to be having the same problems of not being able to see the civilization in the setup screen. How did you fix yours?

I usually take civ5 out of fullscreen mode and keep building the mod and checking in civ5 by backing out of the mod select screen to build and then going back in after it builds until it shows up. I am sure i read something around here to fix that issue though.
