help with a mod please

[tweedie77]

Hi I spent the last three or four days (easy to lose track of time doing this ) making this mod and trying to get it to work. I think I messed up somewhere but no idea where. I do not get any errors the civ just won't show up in the available civs to pick from in game. I uploaded the entire thing as a rar file if anyone wants to mess with it?
My civ was getting ready for Halloween but at this rate I won't make it with out some help.
I made Queen of the damned leader with all unique units and such, I thought it was a good idea but just can't get it to work. Traits included converting all barbarian kills and increased wonder building kinda going for an enslavement theme and all units had a free pillage and healing after destroying kinda like a blight and regen theme. I was also trying to make skeletons and vampires and the like, each unit had special abilities to fit their attributes like vampires get medic and maybe double heal in friendly? skeletons weak vs blunt, that kinda stuff but can't get it to work so I took those extras out but still didn't work so I guess I just need help. New graphics was also in my scope but it just is over my head at this point.
Anyone wanna look at it? maybe help finish it? let me know

I also wanted to change every building and wonder to fit the theme. A big issue I had was changing the resources, gold, happiness and all that but difficult for me just starting out. Make blood instead of culture, unhappiness instatead of happiness but unhappy being a good thing , and I had a whole bunch of ideas along these lines but no idea how I would totally redo the entire interface and things like that if anyone knows? can I even do this kinda of stuff?

I'm having the same problem with mine. I click build, and check my mod folder and nothing is there.

You first have to move the mod from the modbuddy folder where you built it to the civ5 mods folder then it shows up in the mod list. My issue is that I can install the mod but it doesn't do anything lol

That's where I'm at too. I figured out how to get my mod file over, it's installed and activated in my mod browser, but I can't find my civ even in the advanced setup. It probably means we both missed something somewhere.

in the actions tab, change all your \ to /.

Also, don't forget to include Civ_Damned.xml. You completely left it out of this version.

wow thank you so much I can't believe changing the \ to / worked

Ok I can pick the civ from the available civs but the pictures don't work right and I lose right when the game starts. I think this is because I created new units without creating a unit class? not sure how to do that. I tried looking for that info just can't seem to find it anywhere, is it in the lua?

It's in the xml. Kael's guide will show you where. Go into the game xml for a similar unit and use the unit class found there.
