Input XML does not contain database entry tags. GameData, GameInfo or Database

[sunny19879394]

After finishing my first mod, I was trying to make another by means of same skills, however this time when I tried to load leader icons by writing the xml for leader icon, the leader icon simply cannot load although the xlp and blp files for the icons exists...

So when I check the datalog, it keeps having this message:

[3439872.354] [Database]: C:/Users/Sunny Lam/Documents/My Games/Sid Meier's Civilization VI/Mods/Keniisus_Civ_Template/Icon/LeaderIcon.xml
[3439872.354] [Database]: Input XML does not contain database entry tags. GameData, GameInfo or Database

But I have made other xmls for icon too and no such problem, so it is a real headache....

The mod and also the datalog is zipped as attached.

Also what does "Input XML does not contain database entry tags. GameData, GameInfo or Database" actually means?

Which of these two rar archives are we supposed to be looking at ?

The error message you are referring to means that the code within an XML file does not have the proper <GameData> -- </GameData>, or <GameInfo> -- </GameInfo> wrappers around the executable contents of the xml file. Looking at your xml file however I don't see a problem there with missing entry tags.

Actually both rars are the same....I added one more by accident.

I finally write a new mod instead to solve the problems....really strange that y it doesn't work though for the old one T.T...anyway problem solved.

Sounds like maybe there was a problem in a blp or xlp file that the game could not interpret correctly and the error that was generated into the database was the closest the database could come to specifying the issue. Or else there was a corruption of the file itself …. this can sometimes happen, and in such cases the error message you get (if any) is essentially random.

Recreating the mod usually cures file corruption errors because the hidden header codes that all computer files have to identify the file and what sort of file it is to the computer are now "clean" as compared to "corrupted".
