How do I change city names in a mod?

[Bratboy]

I am creating a mod and want to change the city names. I went into the XML folder and found the CIV4Civilization Infos file I altered it in notepad. Changing the city name to the one I wanted. When placing a city in the game the city names apears like this: <City>TXT_KEY_CITY_NAME_ANON</City> instead of just Anon, which is the name that I want to use for my city. Im not sure why the whole text shows up like that in the game itself. Can someone help me?

Thanks
Bratboy

You'll need to create a Civ4GameTextInfos_Cities xml file. There you take your TXT_KEY_CITY_NAME_ANON and define that tag to simply say Anon.

Try this: It's zipped since you can't attach XML files here.

edit - This will go in your Mod Assets/XML/Text folder.

or you just replace the TXT_KEY_CITY_NAME_ANON with Anon in the CIV4CivilizationInfos.xml.
i do it also with the civpedia and descriptions and it works perfectly in own my mod

for example:
<Description>TXT_KEY_CIV_AMERICA_DESC</Description> replaceable by <Description>Reich der Ableraner</Description>
or
<Civilopedia>TXT_KEY_CIV_AMERICA_PEDIA</Civilopedia> replaceable by <Civilopedia>Das Babylonische Reich entstand.....</Civilopedia>
and so on and so furth.

but it only *works* this way if you will not translate it to another lang.

Yeah, but if you need another language you'll be hosed down the road.

Just d/l the one I put up and don't mess with the core file unless you rename them into your mod.

Just d/l the one 5 posts up. It's moderately self explanatory and small.

Or you can use 0d1n3oo3Broad's method and simply overwrite the TXT_KEY blather with a name. No biggie if using 1 language.
