More Wonders

[Androrc the Orc]

The <culture>[AMMOUNT]</culture> tag needs to be removed and replaced with:

<Building_YieldChanges>
<Row>
<BuildingType>BUILDING_(Codename)</BuildingType>
<YieldType>YIELD_CULTURE</YieldType>
<Yield>[AMMOUNT]</Yield>
</Row>
</Building_YieldChanges>

Thanks!

Hi Pouakai,
Sorry to trouble you, but I'm trying to get at some of these great wonder mods. I have successfully run DonQuiche IGE and ReSeed! mods, but somehow I can't work yours. I think the difference is in the .zip download versus .civ5mod format. I've tried expanding yours in Ez7z as suggested in other posts, and it appears like a normal directory set up (.xml, .dds etc). It shows up in the mods window in the game with the others, but when I load a game with it, it doesn't actually load - the game is unchanged (I mostly try with Nazca Lines since it comes up fast). Any thoughts? Does this happen to anyone else that you know of and I'm just missing the relevant post? Thanks for any and all help, and the great wonders, even if I can't add them to my game.

I realized more context was needed. I am playing on a mac, G&K, from Steam, fully updated to my knowledge.

 

[Pouakai]

This is an issue with the <culture> tag in Gods & Kings - so far, only mods which are in Steam Workshop will work, as the versions on here are only compatiable with Vanilla.

 

[mattyg]

Understood, and saddened. Sorry to trouble you with that, I'm sure I should have come across that. Thanks.

 

[mattyg]

Not to sound pushy - is there a place to get working ones and/or do you plan to try and make them G&K compatible?

 

[mattyg]

Stone Town Works. Thanks for doing these, I am excited and appreciate your work. Sorry to bother you with such trivialities.

 

[Pouakai]

I'm trying to balance updating the wonders and real life commitments - at this stage anything which is in steam workshop from me will be Gods & Kings compatiable, and the rest will be being updated. I'm just about finished with Itsukushima Shrine now (I'm going in order in which they were released)

Hey Pouakai,
I tried the wonders mods listed on the Steam Workshop as you suggested for G&K, though I downloaded the files from the CivFanatics database pages linked to on the first post of this thread. Most of them still didn't work - don't know if you haven't fixed the <culture>tags on these, or if there are still bugs. Am I just downloading these from the wrong location. Don't need a big response, I'm happy with the game thats developing with those that do work - this is mostly for your information. The first list is wonders that WORKED, the rest were loaded but didn't appear in game - there doesn't appear to be any issues with with expanded files.

Working: Stone Town, Shwedago Paya

Not Working: Torre d'Oro, Golden Pav, Teotihuacan, Temple of Heaven, Taipei101, Pearl Tower, Malwiya, Kronborg, Karnak, Grand Canal, Florence, Broadway

 

[Pouakai]

I haven't updated the CivFanatics files - the only files that will work are the ones that are actually uploaded to Steam Workshop

 

[mattyg]

Somehow got the old files. Based on your posts with Androc, I found my way to the XXX_Buildings.xml files, and confirmed that (at least for Grand Canal), the old culture tags are present, but not for Stone Town. Not sure how that happened.

I think I see how I would change the <culture>tags to update for G&K, but rather than ruin your hard work, I would love the specifics on where to place the new tag.
Thanks - Matt

 

[mattyg]

Well sadly I'm mac, which means I can't get the files directly from steam - or I can't for the life of me figure it out.

 

[Pouakai]

I've been keeping the Vanilla versions up for people who have not updated, but I might create an all-in-one for them to remain available for vanilla. In the mean time, if you can't get Steam Workshop, this is what you need to do to make it G&K Compatiable:


<culture>Ammount</culture>

Needs to be deleted. Then, underneath the </Building> tag, between it and flavour (Or another opening tag) you need to put in:

<Building_YieldChanges>
<Row>
<BuildingType>BUILDING_CODENAME</BuildingType>
<YieldType>YIELD_CULTURE</YieldType>
<Yield>Ammount</Yield>
</Row>
</Building_YieldChanges>

Codename can be seen in the other tags earlier on. Likewise, if it is a mod such as Itsukushima Shrine or Abraj al Bait Towers that modifies culture, those tags need to be replaced by the standard yield code, which can be found in Buildings.xml in the game files.

 

[mattyg]

Just took a shot at it with Karnak - totally worked. Thanks!

 

[Pouakai]

If you want, you can see the updates I've made to the posts in this topic for the wonders to see what effects I've updated them with, and change it yourself to be the same.

Now that I've figured out how to read the building.xml files, I'm having some fun playing around with the wonder bonuses. Do you know how to do an icon code for faith/religion?
ex: +1 [ICON_CULTURE] and +1 [ICON_FAITH] for every 4 [ICON_CITIZENS] in this city.

-->I tried that on a whim and there was a blank where the faith dove should be. Can't find the tag anywhere online. For openness, since these are your creations, I'm trying to get the above to be the bonus on the Duomo.

The code is actually [ICON_PEACE].

That's a nice effect BTW.

 

[mattyg]

Random, and thank you - for the complement as well. I'll let you know how that change works.
Not that you need to know EVERYTHING - but riddle me this: Why is it <YIELD_FAITH> to add faith to a wonder's building bonuses (Nazca for example), but ICON_PEACE?

 

[mattyg]

The icon was the trick - thanks! Can't seem to get the +1 faith&cult per 4 citizens to go though.
Here is what I put down based on the golden pavillion. See anything? I can't figure it.

<Building_YieldChangesPerPop>
<Row>
<BuildingType>BUILDING_DUOMO</BuildingType>
<YieldType>YIELD_CULTURE</YieldType>
<Yield>25</Yield>
</Row>
<Row>
<BuildingType>BUILDING_DUOMO</BuildingType>
<YieldType>YIELD_FAITH</YieldType>
<Yield>25</Yield>
</Row>
</Building_YieldChangesPerPop>

---Thanks!

 

[Pouakai]

Do you think that's better than per 2 - more balanced? I'll change it if so, I wasn't sure about the balance.
