...you guys are ****in superstars.

 

[lemmy101]

Thank you

I'd edit those stars out if I were you though... nudge nudge.

 

[JohnnyW]

Thank you

I'd edit those stars out if I were you though... nudge nudge.

I typed those stars as stars.

edit: playin with this thing right now

 

[lemmy101]

Yeah I did that once. But I'm not allowed to discuss the result of me doing that to warn you not to do it, as crazy as it sounds.

 

[JohnnyW]

I had an error when trying to load this up today.

The 'GameData' start tag on line 3 position 2 does not match the end tag of 'Civilization_UnitClassOverrides'. Line 624, position 4.

 

[lemmy101]

Either you've edited one of the core XML files, or the patch has an incorrectly formatted XML file. If the former you should re-get the XML off Steam by deleting them and 'verify integrity of game cache' in steam options, if the latter, then you'd need to repair the error in the Civilization xml file that's at fault.

See if anyone else has the same issue, as an earlier patch had a broken xml file too. So perhaps one of the DLC civs has broken tags? If not then it musta been something you changed?

I don't mess with the core files. I validated the game data and had to reacquire 1 file. I have to keep reacquiring 1 file every time I validate.... Still had the same problem with this app when I did that 3 times. I'll try redownloading the app and a couple other things and will post the results in an edit.

edit: I removed the entire XML folder and reacquired it. I verified everything on the game and the SDK even. I redownloaded the app, and even tried the older version. The older version appeared to work whn I placed it in the Civ5 folder, though it was missing all of the functionality I enjoyed from the latest version.

I still get the same error.

 

[lemmy101]

Well if that's the case then its an error in one of the Civ files, since the Civ 5 XML loader seems to be more forgiving than the .NET one, manual edits by Firaxis may have errors in that don't matter to the game. Look in the DLC civilizations xml files you have for line 624 and see if there's a missing / extra Civilization_UnitClassOverrides end tag. (I assume from the error it means there's an extra one)

If not, look at the base game civilization xml files.

Will try and look into it myself, but a bit swamped at the mo :\

It's apparently an error in my Inca DLC.

edit: FOUND IT!!!! I cuoldn't find the extra closing tag in the first version because it wouldn't let me scroll any further, but I found it in notepad. Here is the extra line! (pic3)

edit2: And your app works again!

Does it work? Im having an error when I open it and I cant seem to upload my XML.

 

[Garett20]

What about an Indiestone visual policy editor?

 

[sabotai]

This looks cool!

two questions.

1) I read that people were able to add eras, and I can make eras shorter, but I wasn't able to extend eras or make the total sheets larger. What am I missing.

2) How do you add things (or move things) like the +1 bonus for farms etc. That is the research bonuses that are not linked to icons.

 

[Veldrin]

I've managed to get the program up and running but I keep having an issue when i try and export. The error it spits out is this:

I also ran into an error whenever i tried to edit units and buildings. What's also odd about this error is it only pops up on some, not all, of the units and buildings.

[xxhe]

Hi:

With the update of the new patch, the icon for the tech engineering is missing. Just report it to you.

 

[mage101]

Hi there, i think the link for downloading the editor is not working. Do you mind create a new one? Thanks in advance!

 

[Kruelgor]

Was this abandoned, or is it still a work in progress?

 

[magzhi]

They said that they left modding community because of their project (stand alone indie game)

 

[Kruelgor]

well, the game developers need to get us some better tools then.

 

[Valkrionn]

They have far better things to be working on.
