Modding Question!

[nokmirt]

Where are the CiV art files ArtUnitInfos.xml and member infos? I need those as a reference to add a biplane to my mod. Thanks for any help man.

Wow there is no way to find the art files?

Search for Civ5ArtDefines_Units
or Civ5ArtDefines_unitmembers

 

[Gedemon]

you need to extract the resources first using nexus (nexus -> script browser -> extract PAK)

 

[nokmirt]

Alright thank you. I'll let you know how it goes.

Also, to be clear: you can't use those files as a "reference" on how to add artwork for your new unit. These aren't GameData files; you have to, in your mod, replace the old file IN ITS ENTIRETY. That means that YOUR version of CIV5ArtDefines_unitmembers.xml or whatever must include the art definitions for all of the existing units as well. This'll make your mod incompatible with any other mod that adds units or modifies unit graphics in any way.

You don't do this through the usual OnModActivated command; this has to be handled through the VFS instead.
