Confused with creating a trait.

Well, post the revised mod (including the .modinfo file) whenever you think it's ready, and we can try running/tweaking it ourselves.

Also, did FireTuner give any errors? It's not likely to, since it's aimed more at Lua debugging, but it occasionally catches random things.

I'm lost then, I can't find any other mentions of errors and my Civ still doesn't show up.

From the XML you posted earlier I could get your Civ to load and show in the start-up screens (just ignored all the missing dds file errors), so I'll ask the obvious ... you have enabled the mod and are starting a game from the Mods --> Single Player sub-menu arn't you?

Yes, now I'm even more confused, if you can get it to work and I can't.

I'll post the entire mod.

I even cleaned out the mods folder and deleted my cache and chose Build Forgotten Tribes in ModBuddy, tried in-game through the mods menu after enabling the mod, no Civilization still. So lost.

In your .modinfo file all the path seperators in the <UpdateDatabase> tags are "the wrong ones" they should all be / not \ (you have the correct ones in the <File> tags)

so

<UpdateDatabase>XML/Civilizations/CivWyandot.xml</UpdateDatabase>

not

<UpdateDatabase>XML\Civilizations\CivWyandot.xml</UpdateDatabase>

 

[whoward69]

The .modinfo file is also missing a database update entry for CIV5PlayerColors.xml

<UpdateDatabase>XML/Interface/CIV5PlayerColors.xml</UpdateDatabase>

(which without it makes the Civ unplayable!)

And, you're also missing the TXT_KEY_CIV5_DAWN_WYANDOT_TEXT somewhere (it shows as the key on the starting splash screen) - but that's minor

OMG Thank you! I'll try these fixes immediately!

Ok, Civilization shows up now, thank god. In-game is a nightmare. Unit icons are everywhere, playercolor is wrong, first city has no name and can't start production and is acting like an enemy unit is nearby. WTH. LOL

Like I said, if you don't put the entry in for CIV5PlayerColors.xml ... it's unplayable!!!!

 

[SinniX613]

I put it in Actions, is it missing from somewhere else?

Edit: Oh , does capitalization matter? The file was called CIV5PlayerColors.xml and I referenced it as Civ5PlayerColors.xml

Edit2: Very much so. Mod's working fine now! Thanks for all your help, both of you. You'll both be added to the Special Thanks section of the mod. It's got a long way to go, but finally having it's first working Civilization is a start!

Yes. Capitalization matters in most cases.
