How to Create a Civilization in BTS

[Season]

Hi, Great tutorial, except I have one issue. When I save on step 1 it it says;Error saving the doccument
Object not accessable. The object can not beaccessed due to insufficiant user rights. Do I need to change the name of the file? I have done everything up to there and edited like I was supposed to, it just wont let me save it.
Thanks,
~Season~

You're working with Vista/Win7, right?
Then you have to make sure, that you're running the programms with administrator rights, else you'll not be allowed to save anything in the program files folder.

Nice guide, but it doesn't cover how to make the flag...

 

[The_J]

Do you know how to mae buttons?
If yes: Flags are nearly the same.

How do you do that? I've no Idea.

 

[The_J]

If you rightclick on whatever file, there should be a separate option for that (not sure how it is called, i'm working on XP).

 

[Civ'ed]

Just realized it was something different.
Every time I try to save step one it says it can't save it. I quadruple-checked and no change. Then I save step 2... It works

 

[Civ'ed]

Alright I figured it out

looks great when i get the energy and time i will read it thoroughly but now the coding dances in my eyes so that ain't much of a help (maybe i'm doing a little to much on this screen and a little bit of things beside it)

Something is up with mine. I have vanilla and i have found the folder, in my games, but the CIV4 folder does not have anything in the subfolders. No files or anything. the game however works fine. What do I do?
EDIT:
Nvm its all good. Mine is under user\application data

 

[Civ'ed]

Still, whenever I try to play my Civ (Switzerland btw), the game crashes. also it doesn't register the uu and ub (so i have two pikemen and two castles, only difference is that the castle is available at iron working). It still crashes.

Does the art at least show up correctly in the civilopedia?

 

[Civ'ed]

The civilopedia has all the items (except the civ) but with original art and name.

Erm, where the heck are the TRAIT infos? I can't find them anywhere in my BTS folder.

I want to create new traits, which just won't happen without the correct XML.

Maybe a screenshot of your folder structure would help.

In the warlords folder .

If a file is not in BtS, then look at WL, and if it's not there, then look at Vanilla.

 

[Civ'ed]

I hope this is correct

Spoiler :

 

[The_J]

That looks so far okay, but i can't see any art folder .

Maybe an ingame screenshot from the units, too.
I'm at the moment a bit clueless what the problem could be .

 

[Civ'ed]

I can't show you an ingame screenshot, but just see it as the pikeman and castle art.

 

[The_J]

How did you define the new art for your unit and building?
Because the new definitions normaly go into XML\Art\ArtDefines_units and _buildings, and i can't see the right folder there.

 

[Civ'ed]

Did that to no avail. I really think it's the XML setup (aka some things are wrong, like calling the leader WILHELM_TELL and WILLIAM_TELL)
