Having a problem I can't seem to figure out. I have attached some screenshots of my civilopedia...

When I first started working on this mod, I coded all the civilopedia tags in my text file and simply used "Placeholder" as my text. It showed up fine in game in the civilopedia with "Placeholder" as the text, then at some point as I updated, the civilopedia page went blank, only showing the Sponsor Icon (The leader page was unaffected). I thought nothing much of it, and decided once I wrote the civilopedia entries and added them to the game it might show up again.......well it didn't.

In the screenshots you will see the main Sponsor page with nothing but the sponsor icon, the leader page showing that the page has all the text as intended, and then the sponsor page again......if I click on any other sponsor and then back on my sponsor the Sponsor leader will show up on the sponsor page :confused:

Oh, this also affects my unit civilopedia pages, but only on this sponsor mod....

It should be noted that this is not my only sponsor mod, and the others all work fine

Attached Mod if you think taking a look at the mod files might help

Been trying different things the past few days, but nothing seems to work, its as if the XMLs are fine, but the civ page just isn't being loaded at all :confused::confused:

Found my problem.

Adding a "Unique Unit" as we did with Civ V, apparently makes the Sponsor page in the Civilopedia fail to load correctly, as it has no where on the page to list a Unique Unit since BE doesn't do that.

I took out the unit override in my Civilization XML and my Civilopedia showed up again.
 
Sorry to dig this up but; I am having this same problem right now, has been driving me fricken mad!! I want to have individual infantries, tanks, etc for each of my sponsor factions and I've tried heaps of things but get this problem of Info Texts disappearing for each house.

So does this mean that Unique units for sponsors are not possible?
If it is possible any idea where I could find an example?

I'm also going wrong on the Civ 5 method, but to be honest new units are no good to me if they can't be faction specific.


Edit: I also removed the override value in the civilizations XML and got a different result, while my sponsor information came back in the Civilopedia the Unit infos are still missing, I've quadruple checked tags, types, tables and entries to ensure everything is correct and where it should be, although as far as I have read the folder and file structure don't matter as much as the data contained within, I've tried putting all new text in a single file with the civilization text, tried breaking it into the "Firaxis structure" of the game install, tried moving all unit infos to a unittext XML and leave the Civilizations in the original text XML. I've removed all promotion options, changed to a new set of unit tags (eg UNIT-SLAVE TO UNIT_SLAVEGANG) to be honest the list of what I haven't done to rectify the problem is probably shorter, coz I haven't tried a different coding source like SQL, was hoping to avoid getting that far into it right at this time, I mean it's only one measly new unit, how hard can it be? Extremely hard it turns out.

Edit: I've now added <UnitClasses> as I didn't believe the game required me to define this and I could just use the Marine definition. Now it appears my desciptions are fixed, however one bug remains, the Kavithan Protectorate (My most disliked faction) Civilopedia information is still there, if I remove the unit it goes away, put a unit in and the info comes back...Anyone know why this is so? Is it because BE was made cheaply with Indian labour so they've stamped their "brand" all over the game? In the audio files, the intro video and now a faction you can't remove from the Civilopedia? Next it will be telemarketing centre's with popup windows asking about your insurance and you won't be able to sell the building! ;)
