    So I've made a replacement district, and everything works fine, but it is invisible!

    I guess I have to reference some of the models to the district, but how do I add for example the commercial hub model to my district, and is there any way I can make my own?

    Thanks.

    You have to copy it from districts.artdef and make your own artdef file. Dont forget modart.xml, it has to have districts config to art to be available.

    Your own graphics? Its rather advanced assets design.

    Thanks for the help!

    I figured out eventually that you had to make your own artdef file, but I'm not quite sure how to do it. Could you send me a template or an example?

    Thank you very much anyways!

    Thanks for the response.

    The example you gave me seems to only work for units, and I'm not quite sure what you meant with the Mod.art.xml thing.

    I looked at some mods and tried to use find a solution by experimenting with the code, but even when I copy-paste the whole code and replace their district with mine, it still does not work!

    Anyways, this is the code I'm using right now:
    Code:
