MSMD: How to Create a Mod (video demo)

[alegra0912]

Wat name?

 

[The_J]

The name of your mod in the shortcut.

 

[alegra0912]

ye, but like....if i make a mod with the name....World at war...is it like i have to make it to "WorldAtWar"?

 

[alegra0912]

And...does it make any difference if i have Windows 7 and not Windows XP?

 

[alegra0912]

Okay, i fixed that thingy...but...that .ini file isnt there after i ran the shortcut...

And if i weren't wrong, he told that i can MAKE it...but im a newb at such things, so...when i make those connfigurations, i'l probably just mess it up =S

 

[The_J]

Then just copy a .ini file from another mod, rename it, and change, what you want.

Tag: BUILDINGCLASS_UNITED_NATIONS in Info class was incorrect
Current XML file is: xml\Civilizations/CIV4CivilizationInfos.xml

Please check, if you've wrote BUILDINGCLASS_UNITED_NATIONS in your civilizationInfos.xml really correct.

how do you change the stats the picture the xp [..]and what promotions a unit starts with

XML\Units\UnitInfos.xml

and the level

and the name and the country it
belongs to
i want to have two special units for my civilization

Special units are defined in the XML\Civilizations\CivilizationsInfos.xml
UUs (Unique Units) must have the same unitclass like an already existing unit, not an extra unitclass.

you do not show how to make units even though you will in the first episode

Making units = creating 3D models.
That's not his modding area .

I HAVE ANOTHER ERROR:
I TRY SAVING
BUT: please check whether if this file is opened in another program
it is not

Also civ counts for that.
Anoter case: Do you have Windows Vista/7?

I have Vista i am running as an admin

 

[The_J]

Do you still get the problem/have you tried it again?
Sometimes a programm needs some time to shut down. Then you can't see it as active, but the files have still the flag "used" on them. Maybe that was the case.

 

[22bebo]

Merry Christmas also to you .
And check it, if you have some time .

I checked that and they weren't in it. The only thing I tried to do differently was to load up my own leaderhead and not a picture. I haven't tried it without that.

 

[The_J]

In fact, i have no idea, what could cause that.

Could you please exactly describe, what you've done until now?

Are you refering to me or Ysharma?

 

[The_J]

i restarted my computer and i have the same problem

strange.
Maybe copy the file to somewhere else (desctop, whatever), edit it there, and copy it back.

Are you refering to me or Ysharma?

To you at this point .

Okay, well, whenever I load the mod, it will go until it reaches XML something or other, and then gives me this message:

Allocating zero or less memory in CvXMLLoadUtility::SetVariableListTagPair
Current XML file is: xml\civlizations/CIV4CivilizationsInfos.xml
followed by
There are more siblings than memory allocated for them in CvXMLLoadUtility::SetVariableListTagPair
Current XML file is: xml\civlizations/CIV4CivilizationsInfos.xml
and finally this
Tag: LEADER_HANNIBAL in InfoClass was incorrect
Current XML file is: xml\civlizations/CIV4CivilizationsInfos.xml
It does this for every single leader, starting with the first. (Hannibal was the one that I happened to copy down.)

 

[The_J]

What have you changed in your copied hannibal?
