[NEWCIV] Louis's Civ Request Thread

[Louis the XIV]

Again, we have lost an other modder.

I might mod again, since Civ is definitely in my top favorite games.
I'm trying to learn c++ so I'll practice on civ modding after I get a bit more familiar with it

I’m not sure if this mod is causing the problem, but I’m playing a game with BUG, BAT 4.1, and some modular civs installed and whenever I encounter one of the new civs or open WB, the game crashes to desktop.

When I start a game as one of the modular civs (tested with normandy) the first few turns work ok, but the custom asset images all show up as bright pink boxes instead of loading properly.

Does any have any guesses what might be causing this?

how can i fix it ?

This happens because the xml-files in [Assets/XML/Art] does not have the correct path to the graphics-files they are trying to define. The graphics-files should be in [Assets/Art].

For the two leaders: The file CIV4ArtDefines_Leaderhead.xml is the one you need to check. There is a field called <Button> that contains the path to the files needed in this screenshot. Change those so that they point to the file in the [Assets/Art....] folder.

For the flag: Check the file CIV4ArtDefines_Civilization.xml. The <Button> and <Path> entries should be checked.

Make sure to save in the XML format, not in TXT format. You can do the changes in Notepad, but I recommend Notepad++ (notepad will always try to save as txt, unless told otherwise, without even telling you).

Oh, and make sure to check for spelling errors. I have done a bit of this myself. Just ONE TINY spelling-error (like two l's instead of one) can take hours to fix if you don't know where to look.

I hope you figure it out. Happy Civ'ing.
