Hello,

Im working on a little modding, LOL. Actually have no idea what I am doing but I have viewed the site and got some very good info from some on the sites resident experts, anyway….


I am taking Carters24(BTS) map and I am moding in Civs I want. I have a couple of problems I am running into I was hoping someone could help

Lets say I wanted to add the Maya to my game. Where can I locate the proper code to do so? I successfully added the Americans (I am American) by taking the code from the 18civs that came with the game and just copied the American’s info inplace of the Koreans and wahla! I had to go into the WB to change starting location (though) no biggie I like to fine tune maps anyway..

That leads me to question 2.

Lets say I wanted to add the Babylonians where do they go in current time? Iran?

What about the Ottomans / Sumerians / Carthage ?

Celts I would assume Ireland/Scotland?

I can handle the others but those 4 I dunno where to accurately put them and the coding issue..

Can anyone lend a novice’s apprentice moder a hand?

Thanks!

Not sure, what are you mean by proper code ? Should be exactly the same you used for america, just with Maya instead...

Somehow i suspect you are editing the WBS Scenario file ? Besides editin it in Worldbuilder directly you can open it in a text editor, to replace civs, leaders, etc. Is that what you are trying to do ?

Then it should look more or less like this:

BeginPlayer
Team=[Whatever team/player number you want it to be]
LeaderType=LEADER_PACAL
CivType=CIVILIZATION_MAYA
PlayableCiv=1

yes Sir!!!!! Refar and thanks for the reply!

I am editing the WBS. But for example it asks for a flag.dds. Little things like that are what I dont know.

there seems to be slightly more info then just

Civdesc
and stuff.. The first four lines I can do but when it starts asking about the flag which I guess (going off my memory cause I am at work) is the point of the thread. I know Im missing something else though besides just the flag!!!!

Im sorry if this is gibberish because I dont know the exact terminalogy for what I am trying to ask, so I just used the "code"


any idea about where to properly place those 4 Civs?

one more thing I left out... I am opening the file with notepad and editing then saving under a different name but making the extension .worldbuildsave


the exact extension is written down at home!

I think you can leave the flag stuff and such away (remove those lines) - most WBScenarios don't have this - you can define/customize a lot of stuff in the WBS file if you wan't to, but don't have to. Just skip it, if you are fine with using the defaults.

As for where to place civs - in terms of geography - Summeria was roughly in the same place as later Babylonia and again later (today) parts of Iraq, Iran and Syria are.
The city of Carthage was located in North Africa in todays Tunesia.
The Ottoman empire where Turkey is.
