Help, please! XD: Where are the icons

[Onacadarfi XXVI]

Hi, everyone

Does anyone know where the Vanilla icons are located?

I'd be very thankful for that!

PS. what is regedit? Is that something you need to download???

Regedit is a component of Windows and is used for editing the registry. If you're running Windows Vista or 7 then type 'regedit' into the search box in the start menu and it will come up. There's a risk of seriously messing up your computer when using regedit though, if you're not sure what you're doing, so if you are going to change anything then make a backup of the registry first. (File->Export...)

To see the Vanilla icons I think you have to unpack the FPK files first. Launch the Civ5 SDK, go to Nexus, and then once Nexus starts go to the Nexus tab and click on 'script browser'. Click on 'Extract PAK (*.fpk) files' and press run script. It takes a long time to unpack the files, so pass the time watching TV or something.

Thanks, but when i press "run script" nothing happens. Or maybe that's just how it's about to work.

Do you get any errors when you start up Nexus? Given you asked about regedit, maybe you got that error about the filepath for the viewer, and that the viewer 'closed unexpectedly'?

It says "Error establishing asset paths" and i know how to correct it but it points to a folder called "viewer.exe" that doesn't exist. Is this what i need to do: 1. start regedit 2.Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/FIRAXIS/Tools 3. move the folder/file "tools" to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\sid meier's civilization v (in regedit) 4. open nexus and establish the asset path.

And I've also encountered this problem: when i build my mod, it fails and says this: ------ Build started: Project: Tibet, Configuration: Default x86 ------

Don't know about the regedit stuff, but for the build error:

Check your Actions and Content tabs to make sure the non-filename entries don't contain any spaces; trailing spaces are especially hard to notice. E.g. that error triggers if you accidentally have "UpdateDatabase " instead of "UpdateDatabase".

It worked! Thanks!
