[Vanilla] Localization won't work

Lukasdb · Feb 15, 2021

Hello, can someone take a look at my localization mod. It just won't work no matter what i try, both for en_US or pl_PL.

<GameData>
<LocalizedText>
<Replace Language="en_US" Tag="LOC_TRAIT_LEADER_DIVINE_WIND_DESCRIPTION">
<TEXT>test</TEXT>
</Replace>
</LocalizedText>
</GameData>

Modinfo is configured as well

LeeS · Feb 15, 2021

It is better in such cases to just zip the entire folder of the mod as it is at

C:\Users\UserName\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Mods

And then attach to a post.

Here it is

1st, if you are running Gathering Storm the LOC-KEY needed is LOC_TRAIT_LEADER_DIVINE_WIND_EXPANSION2_DESCRIPTION
2nd, you have no LoadOrder setting on your UpdateText Action.

Code:

    <UpdateText id="Localization">
      <Properties>
        <LoadOrder>300</LoadOrder>
      </Properties>
      <File>Localization.xml</File>
    </UpdateText>

and

Code:

<GameData>
	<LocalizedText>
		<Replace Language="pl_PL" Tag="LOC_TRAIT_LEADER_DIVINE_WIND_DESCRIPTION">
			<Text>test</Text>
		</Replace>
		<Replace Language="en_US" Tag="LOC_TRAIT_LEADER_DIVINE_WIND_DESCRIPTION">
			<Text>Test that Devine Wind is being re-described</Text>
		</Replace>

		<Replace Language="en_US" Tag="LOC_TRAIT_LEADER_DIVINE_WIND_EXPANSION2_DESCRIPTION">
			<Text>Test that Devine Wind is being re-described</Text>
		</Replace>
	</LocalizedText>
</GameData>

This is also incorrect

Code:

	<RequirementSetRequirements>
		<Row>
			<RequirementSetId>UNIT_POLISH_HUSSAR_JAPAN_REQUIREMENTS</RequirementSetId>
			<RequirementId>REQUIRES_PLAYER_HAS_CIVIC_MERCENARIES</RequirementId>
			<RequirementId>REQUIRES_PLAYER_HAS_DISTRICT_LAVRA</RequirementId>
		</Row>
	</RequirementSetRequirements>

You need one row for each RequirementId that is being attached to the Set of Requirements

Code:

	<RequirementSetRequirements>
		<Row>
			<RequirementSetId>UNIT_POLISH_HUSSAR_JAPAN_REQUIREMENTS</RequirementSetId>
			<RequirementId>REQUIRES_PLAYER_HAS_CIVIC_MERCENARIES</RequirementId>
		</Row>
		<Row>
			<RequirementSetId>UNIT_POLISH_HUSSAR_JAPAN_REQUIREMENTS</RequirementSetId>
			<RequirementId>REQUIRES_PLAYER_HAS_DISTRICT_LAVRA</RequirementId>
		</Row>
	</RequirementSetRequirements>

You can never under any circumstances state the same column-name more than once within the same row, regardless of what table you are using.

This seems to make sense so far as it goes

Code:

	<Modifiers>
		<Row>
			<ModifierId>BORROW_UNIT_POLISH_HUSSAR_JAPAN</ModifierId>
			<ModifierType>MODIFIER_PLAYER_ADJUST_VALID_UNIT_BUILD</ModifierType>
			<OwnerRequirementSetId>UNIT_POLISH_HUSSAR_JAPAN_REQUIREMENTS</OwnerRequirementSetId>
		</Row>
	</Modifiers>
	<ModifierArguments>
		<Row>
			<ModifierId>BORROW_UNIT_POLISH_HUSSAR_JAPAN</ModifierId>
			<Name>UnitType</Name>
			<Value>UNIT_POLISH_HUSSAR_JAPAN</Value>
		</Row>

But this bit after that makes no real sense to me as to what it is you are trying to accomplish

Code:

		<Row>
			<ModifierId>TRAIT_GAINS_FOUNDER_BELIEF_MAJORITY_RELIGION</ModifierId>
			<Name>ModifierId</Name>
			<Value>UNIT_POLISH_HUSSAR_JAPAN</Value>
		</Row>
	</ModifierArguments>
	<DynamicModifiers>
		<Row>
			<ModifierType>MODIFIER_PLAYER_GAINS_FOUNDER_BELIEF_MAJORITY_RELIGION</ModifierType>
			<CollectionType>COLLECTION_OWNER</CollectionType>
			<EffectType>EFFECT_ATTACH_MODIFIER</EffectType>
		</Row>
	</DynamicModifiers>

Esp since TRAIT_GAINS_FOUNDER_BELIEF_MAJORITY_RELIGION already exists within the game as a defined ModifierId. And UNIT_POLISH_HUSSAR_JAPAN is defined in your code as a UnitType rather than as a ModifierId.

Ok, text it fixed and working, never crossed my mind, that there was an update in description after an update.

At this point am not sure what to do with this religion UU. What I was trying to do was to create a dynamic modifier(MODIFIER_PLAYER_GAINS_FOUNDER_BELIEF_MAJORITY_RELIGION, but with attach modifier effect), that attaches a modifier when conditions are met. the modifier was meant to be a loose trait, that is not attached to any civ.

P.S. i don't know why that loadorder keeps dissapearing... I added it again.

Lukasdb · Feb 17, 2021

Regarding localization:

It works mostly, just for some reason menu will not update description. I guess the items in menu refer to some other location but i couldn't find the file responsible for menu .

Loading and in-game fine, both english and polish:

Leader selection bonked. Polish description is original and unique buildings are different:

Loading menu in english picks spanish(not sure) to describe the building for some reason...

I feel like am 2 steps away from being done haha

In order to get anything to change in the Leader/Civilization selection screens you need to make UpdateDatabase and UpdateText actions in FrontEndActions as well as those in InGameActions.

What items are listed and shown on the leader selection screen is entirely dependant upon what is in FrontEndActions Database table PlayerItems. The text that is shown requires the matching Localization Tags added in the FrontEnd as UpdateText actions.

Here in a FrontEnd UpdateDatabase action I am adding two new buildings to Rome/Trajan

Code:

<GameInfo>
	<PlayerItems>
		<Row Domain="Players:StandardPlayers" CivilizationType="CIVILIZATION_ROME" LeaderType="LEADER_TRAJAN" Type="BUILDING_ROMAN_FORUM" Icon="ICON_BUILDING_ROMAN_FORUM" Name="LOC_ITEM_ROMAN_FORUM_NAME" Description="LOC_ITEM_ROMAN_FORUM_DESCRIPTION" SortIndex="30" />
		<Row Domain="Players:StandardPlayers" CivilizationType="CIVILIZATION_ROME" LeaderType="LEADER_TRAJAN" Type="BUILDING_ROMAN_THERMAE" Icon="ICON_BUILDING_ROMAN_THERMAE" Name="LOC_ITEM_ROMAN_THERMAE_NAME" Description="LOC_ITEM_ROMAN_THERMAE_DESCRIPTION" SortIndex="40" />

		<Row Domain="Players:Expansion2_Players" CivilizationType="CIVILIZATION_ROME" LeaderType="LEADER_TRAJAN" Type="BUILDING_ROMAN_FORUM" Icon="ICON_BUILDING_ROMAN_FORUM" Name="LOC_ITEM_ROMAN_FORUM_NAME" Description="LOC_ITEM_ROMAN_FORUM_DESCRIPTION" SortIndex="30" />
		<Row Domain="Players:Expansion2_Players" CivilizationType="CIVILIZATION_ROME" LeaderType="LEADER_TRAJAN" Type="BUILDING_ROMAN_THERMAE" Icon="ICON_BUILDING_ROMAN_THERMAE" Name="LOC_ITEM_ROMAN_THERMAE_NAME" Description="LOC_ITEM_ROMAN_THERMAE_DESCRIPTION" SortIndex="40" />

		<Row Domain="Players:Expansion1_Players" CivilizationType="CIVILIZATION_ROME" LeaderType="LEADER_TRAJAN" Type="BUILDING_ROMAN_FORUM" Icon="ICON_BUILDING_ROMAN_FORUM" Name="LOC_ITEM_ROMAN_FORUM_NAME" Description="LOC_ITEM_ROMAN_FORUM_DESCRIPTION" SortIndex="30" />
		<Row Domain="Players:Expansion1_Players" CivilizationType="CIVILIZATION_ROME" LeaderType="LEADER_TRAJAN" Type="BUILDING_ROMAN_THERMAE" Icon="ICON_BUILDING_ROMAN_THERMAE" Name="LOC_ITEM_ROMAN_THERMAE_NAME" Description="LOC_ITEM_ROMAN_THERMAE_DESCRIPTION" SortIndex="40" />
	</PlayerItems>
</GameInfo>

Note that I need to repeat the basic info for all three expansions as a different "Domain" value.

In a FrontEnd UpdateText action I have this

Code:

<GameData>
	<LocalizedText>
		<Row Tag="LOC_ITEM_ROMAN_FORUM_NAME" Language="en_US">
			<Text>Forum</Text>
		</Row>
		<Row Tag="LOC_ITEM_ROMAN_FORUM_DESCRIPTION" Language="en_US">
			<Text>Unique Building to Rome replacing the Town Square: Provides +2 [ICON_Housing] Housing, +2 [ICON_Amenities] Amenity, +1 [ICON_Culture] Culture, [ICON_Production] Production, [ICON_Gold] Gold, [ICON_Science] Science, and [ICON_Food] Food to the city.</Text>
		</Row>
		<Row Tag="LOC_ITEM_ROMAN_THERMAE_NAME" Language="en_US">
			<Text>Thermae</Text>
		</Row>
		<Row Tag="LOC_ITEM_ROMAN_THERMAE_DESCRIPTION" Language="en_US">
			<Text>Unique Building to Rome replacing the Bathhouse: Provides +3 [ICON_Amenities] Amenity, +1 [ICON_Culture] Culture and +2 [ICON_Food] Food to the city.</Text>
		</Row>
	</LocalizedText>
</GameData>

FrontEnd UpdateIcons

Code:

<GameData>
	<IconDefinitions>
		<Replace Name="ICON_BUILDING_ROMAN_FORUM" Atlas="ICON_ATLAS_BUILDINGS" Index="11"/>
		<Replace Name="ICON_BUILDING_ROMAN_THERMAE" Atlas="ICON_ATLAS_BUILDINGS" Index="30"/>
	</IconDefinitions>
</GameData>

I am re-using existing building icons so I do not have to define the Atlas in table IconTextureAtlases -- I can just refer to the existing Atlas and the Icons within it.

Both of these buildings are Unique versions of new buildings I added to the game in my personal mods.

Ok, am getting to work then. What about that dynamic modifier, that adds permament trait? Do you think that would be possible?

Lukasdb · Feb 17, 2021

I think I'm getting somewhere. This is what I created so far.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<GameInfo>
    <Modifiers>
        <Row>
            <ModifierType>MODIFIER_PLAYER_ATTACH_MODIFIER</ModifierType>
            <CollectionType>COLLECTION_OWNER</CollectionType>
            <EffectType>EFFECT_ATTACH_MODIFIER</EffectType>
        </Row>
    </Modifiers>
</GameInfo>

And

Code:

<GameInfo>
    <Modifiers>
            <ModifierId>MODIFIERID_PLAYER_ATTACH_UNIT_POLISH_HUSSAR</ModifierId>
            <SubjectRequirementSetId>REQUIREMENT_PLAYER_HAS_CIVILIZATION_OR_LEADER_TRAIT</SubjectRequirementSetId>
            <ModifierType>MODIFIER_PLAYER_ATTACH_UNIT_POLISH_HUSSAR</ModifierType>
    </Modifiers>
    <ModifierArguments>
        <Row>
            <ModifierId>MODIFIERID_PLAYER_ATTACH_UNIT_POLISH_HUSSAR</ModifierId>
            <Name>TraitType</Name>
            <Value>TRAIT_CIVILIZATION_UNIT_POLISH_HUSSAR_BORROW</Value>
        </Row>
    </ModifierArguments>
    <DynamicModifiers>
        <Row>
            <ModifierType>MODIFIER_PLAYER_ATTACH_UNIT_POLISH_HUSSAR</ModifierType>
            <CollectionType>COLLECTION_OWNER</CollectionType>
            <EffectType>EFFECT_ADJUST_PLAYER_VALID_UNIT_BUILD</EffectType>
        </Row>
    </DynamicModifiers>
</GameInfo>

I'm thinking of using the REQUIREMENT_PLAYER_FOUNDED_OUR_RELIGION, that you provided earlier. What I will try to accomplish, is to create 2 modifiers, 1 loose, that is not assigned to any nation. The second one will attach that modifier to Japan once it meets requirements=player founded our religion+dojo built(custom building).

i will keep you posted on progress!

Lukasdb · Feb 17, 2021

Ok, I think I made a modifier, that if Poland becomes dominant religion it attaches another modifier called TRAIT_CIVILIZATION_UNIT_POLISH_HUSSAR_BORROW.
Correct me if I made a mistake somewhere

Ok, i tried to make a sensible code. It makes sense to me, but either I made a mistake somewhere or the requirements/modifiers do not provide what it seems.

For the life of me I don't know how to associate religion with a Leader or civilization. I'm attaching a zip file with other attempts to approach this from different position.
