Modding Question

[Peace107]

Do you need Beyond the Sword expansion pack to make and get the mods to work because alot of threads i see say the mod for BTS etc

If it says it's for BtS then yes, you need the expansion. There aren't that many current mods that don't require it.

Don't want to hijack this thread but don't feel like my problem is big enough to warrant a its own thread:

I somehow managed to screw up my XML files so now that I try to start Beyond The Sword I get a box which says:

Failed Loading XML file xml\units/CIV4BuildInfos.xml. [\FXml.cpp:133] Error Parsing XML File -
File: xml\units/CIV4BuildInfos.xml
Reason: Element content is invalid according to the DTD/Schema
Expecting: {x-schema:CIV4UnitSchema.xml}iCost.

Line: 15, 11
Source:
<bKill>0</bKill>


So is it possible someone could upload me their CIV4BuildInfos.xml file and also their CIV4UnitInfos.xml file so I could replace my corrupted ones with them. Or if someone knows how to fix my problem otherwise I would be very grateful! Thanks in Advance!

Just reinstall the game. It would be alot quicker than waiting fro someone to upload the files you need. Let that be a lesson to you, never alter the default files. Copy them over to your Custom Assets folder and edit them from there.

Well for some reason wouldn't allow to uninstall Beyond the Sword... So I just spent 30minutes searching for errors in the xml file and finally found it (or them, there was 2 errors)! So now worries anymore...

If you dig real deep into the older mods in Creation & Customization you might find one or two. But pretty much all the mods made have been upgraded to BtS these days. Only the ones where the author lost interest and hasn't done any work on it for years won't be. Which also means that you run the risk of using a buggy mod.
