Do you want to:
- Create a new 3d model
- or to use an already done 3d model for a new unique unit for a civ?

[The_J]

i follow the text directions but when i load the game this is what i get : TXT_KEY_LEADER_YASH_PEDIA

Did you check, if there's maybe anywhere a typo?

when it try to save the XML file i get the message:

save failed

Please check if the file is not opened in another program

And, is it anywhere else opened?

Do you have Vista/Windows 7? If yes: Run your XML editor with administrator rights.

I followed the instructions, but when I tried to load the mod, it disabled every leader, even the one I tried to add in. What went wrong?

What do you mean with disabled?
If all there disabled, then how did you start a game?

 

[Ysharma]

how do you do that? i want everything the same except the leaders i want regular civ 4 leaders

 

[Ysharma]

i want to make a copy of the navy seal, change the skin, the stats and what prom. it starts with
how to do?

 

[Ysharma]

I finally got it to work and I think they make it look a whole lot easier than I thought it would be.
One problem once I get down to where the xml files should be they aren't there? Any ideas?

you are going to the wrong file go to C://Program Files/Firaxis Games/Civilization IV/Beyond the Sword/Assets/XML

 

[The_J]

how do you do that? i want everything the same except the leaders i want regular civ 4 leaders

...then kick them.
Or disable them (can be done in LeaderheadInfos or CivilizationInfos.xml, forgot, which one exactly).

I didn't, as I couldn't select any leader besides random. I can play without the mod, just not with it.
