Issue setting games speed

[Catharz]

Hi,

I'm trying to convert my Civilization 5 mod to Civilization 6.
The logs say the DB has been updated, and the new game speed is selectable from the menu.
But as soon as I start the game I get a Lua error saying that GameSpeeds is nil.

The list of GameSpeeds and the selected GameSpeed seem to be empty when in game.

The code for the mod is as follows:
MoreSpeed.modinfo

        </Row>
  </GameSpeed_Turns>
</GameData>

Any help would is appreciated.

Well all of the settings used in maps are also stored int eh configuration database. This controls the drop downs and such in the create game portion of the game.

In order to modify the configuration settings, you need to load the files in the <settings> section of your modinfo file.

I had to do this to add an era. And I know that Horem changed gamespeeds by doing this in his Test of Time mod. I recommend you check it out.

Thanks Elucidus.

I was getting consistent XML import errors, and only managed to resolve them by switching from XML to SQL for the GameSpeed and GameSpeed_Turns setup (as per Horem's mod).
It seems the XML parsing isn't working 100% for Civ VI (or has changed substantially).

My mod is working now though. I hit the renaissance period at turn 32 on my first play through.
