Downloading, Installing a Playing a New Civ

I went and tried what you said and appreciate your help, but I am still a little lost. I created a map that had no barabarians or civs on it, made the files the instructions said to make, downloaded that one file, used the spoiler to replace the sections that were there(Im using the earth 18 civ scenario map so the original 18 civs were there), made it so that the map was compatable with 34 civs because I just want one of each civ on the map, and then saved it to where I was supposed to. But when I load the mod and go to custom scenario, I can't add any civs to the map when it should be able to hold up to 34 different civs. There is a extra slot now where I could add another civ but it let me click on it or change any of the other civs and it will only let me pick from the list of civs from the original game. All I want to do is to add all of the bts civs to the earth 18 civ scenario and I can't seem to find a way to do it.
 
i have downloaded 4 civs (Minoan, Soviet, Nazi and Hungary), but how can i play with all of them at the same time?
 
in the config.dat stand this: ; Modular XML Loading
ModularLoading = 0 for Soviet and Minoan and by the Nazis this ; Modular XML Loading
ModularLoading = 1 and Hungary doesnt have one

so i think the nazis are the only modular
should i change this?
 
They have to be...at least 3 of the 4 have to be modular so that you can easy play with them all.
What the config file says is not really relevant here. Please take a look at the subfolders. Do they contain a folder "modules"?
 
If you don't want to put really work into it, then you can only use the first 2 and one of the others together.
How to? Follow these instructions, but don't create a completely new folder as basis, use one of the other civs as basis for it.
 
well this is a good tut there, but it doesnt work in the game, can you give me an example please, for maybe 3 civs??? (you can explain it in german to me too)
 
Okay, i made a test with the soviet union (not modular) and the minoans (modular) (my connection is really slow, the others would take to long).

What did i do?
- I extracted the soviet union
- The soviet union folder has an assets folder, a .ini and a .ini.bak file in it.
- I created in this assets folder another folder "Modules"
- I extracted the minoans civ
- The "minoan_module" folder has a folder "CustomCivilizations" in it.
- I took the CustomCivilizations folder and placed it into the modules folder of the soviet union
- I opened the .ini file in the soviet union folder (rightclick, open with wordpad or notepad)
- I changed:
PHP:
; Modular XML Loading
ModularLoading = 0
to 1.
- I took the soviet union folder and placed it into "C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Civ4\Bts\Mods and loaded it
- I have both civs in the loaded mod :).

I hope this helps you a bit :).
 
wow that was easy

but with some civs i have my problems
for example: when ido this with gray germany, there will be only pink boxes for flags, leader-pics etc.

what should i do?
 
That in general means that the art folder is not placed right.
Take a look at the gray germany folder, somewhere has to be a file (rather multiples) with ArtDefines_"XYZ".xml. Open them, post some entries here. I'll then afterwards tell you which folder to move to which place.
 
this are the leaderhead.xml
