Looking for tutorial of how to replace leader art

[DeepSoul]

I just want to replace the art of existing and modded leaders. Is there a tutorial for it that doesn't require making a new civ from scratch? What's the easiest way to do it? I'm good with photoshop but my modding knowledge is very limited.

For the art, as a faster way, you can use your new DDS files and change that pics references in xml/sql (depending on the mod), but just look for references. Try to see here how: Civ 6 Modding Tools & Basics

Okay, I managed to replace everything but the leader icon that shows in the upper right corner while playing. How do I do that? Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Been 256, 80, 64, 55, 50, 45, 32 dimensions and associated with your leader (ICON_LEADER....), you need to add those new DDS files to modinfo (See mod config & run section). You may also want to change the config file <Players> section where the icon of the leader also appears.

I know this question has been dead for a little while, but I am facing a similar issue and would appreciate some guidance.

I have a working template that I am using which loads a new playable civ into the game. I replaced the .dds files for leader and background of the template to my new custom ones.

When I load the game however it shows the old images from the template. I have kept all references and names the same and the game boots/runs without errors. Additionally when I change text from the template, those changes are visible in game.

What else do I have to do besides replacing the .dds?

Hi, did you regenerated textures? When you change images you have to go to asset manage generate again.
