How do you change Civ names?

[malcolm01234]

How do you change a civilization's name, adjective, leader name, and city list?

BTW I'm fairly familiar with XML

I think there's a tag called 'Update Database' or something like that. Put that around the name, adjective etc and it should change it

 

[malcolm01234]

Could you give an example of that?

 

[malcolm01234]

OK I found the files but I have a different idea, can I just change the words the tags give?

(i.e. I wanted to change the Turks to the Uyghur Khaganate so I could find the words that link to TXT_KEY_CIV_OTTOMAN_DESC and change it to 'Uyghur Khaganate' ? etc.)

If I can I need to know where said files are...

 

[The Little One]

You should be able to, yeah

Ok I figured out how to do it so I went into Mod Buddy and was going to change Polynesia to Indonesia... Finally when I finished it and saved it I realized I was editing the original files...

Is this going to cause a problem and if it is can I fix it?

Also how are you PROPERLY supposed to make a mod when only editing XML

 

[malcolm01234]

OK well I just checked and it did cause a problem... every city made in world builder now has TXT_KEY ... I haven't tried it in-game but I am about to.

Is there any way to undo everything I did and make a actual Mod in Mod Buddy?

 

[malcolm01234]

Just tried it in-game and everything is in TXT_KEY! Can someone please tell me how to revert this???

To simply change a name, it is extremely simple to do.
