Modify Game Intro Pop up

[siggyb2too]

I'm trying to find the file that contains the text for the intro pop up that you get when you first start a game....the one that says the dawn of man...the sun rises on the year 2000...and shows your leader head.

I would like to change the text there for the mod that I'm making and I can't seem to find the file...

and can't find info on where or how I could change that.

Thanks for any help!

Welcome to CFC siggyb2too

The screen itself is created by the file Assets\Python\Screens\CvDawnOfMan.py and the text it uses comes from the XML key TXT_KEY_DAWN_OF_MAN_TEXT in Assets\XML\Text\CIV4GameTextInfos.xml.

Depending on what you are going to do to the screen, you'll want to copy and then modify one or both of those files. I think there are also alternative ways of overriding default text by using a separate XML file. I don't really know the details there though.

Ah! Thanks! I searched that file before using the keyword search but chose to search for "4000" thinking that it would be in the text. No wonder it never came up.
