File search

[Wayne.123]

I am curious if it is possible to reference multiple file locations to search for files when creating a mod. Like can you put the file location for the Napoleonic mod as well as the standard files so you can add Napoleonic infantry without having to move all the files over? Tanka

Yes, you can list multiple directories in the order to be searched, separated by semicolons

So if I'm only adding Napoleonic infantry to an other mod and I reference a Napoleonic folder it then can't find the text for anything outside the Napoleonic conquest once I reference a file do I have to reference every other file too? Even basic stuff too? I keep getting a pediaicon
error for the ss spaceship parts.

Basically I'm creating a mod with all normal units plus Napoleonic conquest units. I create the units right, just can't figure out what files to have it search to pick up all the units plus the Napoleonic units so I don't have to copy and move

For your purposes, add "..\Conquests\Napoleonic Europe" to Scenario Search Folders. Any files found there will be used first, followed by the default scenario folder, then Conquests, and so on.

That's strange that's exactly what I did and when the scenario starts to load it gives an error pedialicons text for s.s planetary lounge. Don't know why?

I'm working on it now. By just referencing ..\conquests\Napoleonic Europe it gives you a missing entry in pedialicons text for every unit or building or tech not in the Napoleonic Europe file. It's basically ONLY reading from that file for some reason
