Mod Tools Available Now!

[2K Greg]

Hey guys, the mod tools are now available.

To get to them, go to the "Tools" tab in Steam (under Library) and look for "Sid Meier's Civilization V SDK"

If you don't see it, try restarting Steam.

Awesome, thank you!

 

[Thorn]

Great news indeed!

Is there any way to get save games to open in the world builder? The file type to open doesn't list save games as an option, and when I force it to view all files opening a save only brings up a black screen.

I'd be happy if I could somehow get a few of my in-game generated maps to transfer into the builder, I don't even care about anything related to game progress (cities, units, improvements, etc. - all I want is the map).

Its covered in the modders guide (page 72) with screen shots.

Thank you, I hadn't refreshed the page while I was posting that question so I didn't see that one about the manual

Figures that you guys would wait until the day I return to work from my "vacation" to release the mod tools.

Very cool. And thanks for stopping by to post this.

Now if I only I didn't pick today as my day to get stuff done...

 

[Cilpot]

Damnit. I was just about to go to bed

 

[Quetz]

Thanks for the writeup Kael, that will certainly help in my one-man quest to have cruise-missile launching GDR's!

 

[Kruelgor]

As I said on the other forum, Praise the heavens, salvation has cometh.

Thank you

 

[Crustacean Soup]

So no C++ access through here, eh? Is that coming?

 

[Quetz]

Not for a few months yet. But this should be plenty to hold us over; it is very powerful.

 

[Crustacean Soup]

As long as it's still planned, I'm not impatient. I'm going to have some fun playing around with the lua when I've got some free time.

To Kael, since you seem to be around: Before I start digging through FFh files, would, say, a Fireball spell be coded in a similar way in Civ5 as it was in Civ4? (Ie a button that spawns a unit)

Edit: Guess not, since you'd need LUA.. bleh
