Help a noob at Next War content to his mod

[kamex]

Hey all,

I'm trying to make a new sci-fi mod, but its been a long time since I've done any modding so i'm a bit out of practice.

Was wondering if anybody could help.

I'd like to copy most of the Next War content to my own mod. I'd like to copy technologies, with their associated units/bonus/graphics/sounds etc.

But i don't just want to copy the mod folder, because i don't want the Next War scenario, the America Inc/Mr Big etc. Civs or that script which destroys the world after launching so many nukes!

After I've got this copy working, I'll play around with it for my mod. I know this is possible cos i've seen Next war stuff included in lots of other mods.

Any help would be really appriciated!

Is there already something in your personal mod?
Or do you want to start with NextWar without it's leaders/civs/barb win?

I'm a little confused. You want to make a Sci-Fi mod, right? So you want Next War to be the begining or the end of your mod? If it is the end it is way easy, you can remove the Next War civs with hardly any trouble at all. If you want your mod to be a futuristic mod and have Next War at the start that is a little more complicated. You have to be a little more clear about what you want to do.

Okies. Well I want it to be like a mini expansion pack really. I havn't any personal content yet. So adding the Next War war stuff will be the starting point.

After that, I'll probs change/add some of my own units, and a few more techs, maybe a couple more leaders heads for the bts vanilla civs... etc.

Also, The Capo, could you explain how to remove the Next War Civs/Leaders plz? Do I just copy everything, then delete those leaders and civs from the XML?

Well, I'm actually making a mod that is exactly what you are describing, so you really don't have to do this, unless you want your own specific things. I add like fifty leaders, a few new civs, new religions, some new wonders, and features and Next War of course.

But yeah, just delete the leaders and civs from the XML and you should be fine.

Thanks dude. I'm getting it all working now. Removed Mr. Big, merged in the terraforming mod, and are now adding new techs. May give a preview soon!
