MSMD: How to Create a Mod (video demo)

Is there a transcript of these videos somewhere or something?
I upped my page file to almost 5 gigs, but the video still crawls and goes out of sync with the sound. Virtual memory really isn't the way to go.
 
Photoshop is not an important part of this.
You can use nearly every other image program to do simple graphic modifications.

I have none.What now?
 
Awesome tutorial, thank you soo much for this. I've been trying to mod BtS but I couldn't find a good tutorial until this. One thing though- you didn't show how to add UUs and UBs..
 
Hey,

First, let me say thank you for this comprehensive video! It makes modding so much easier for a first-timer like me who has always wanted to create a custom civ after so many years of playing.

I followed your videos to the letter - I think - but am experiencing an issue wherein there is no music played at all when I load my mod, being it the opening menu music, diplomatic music, or even ambient noises like clicking and the sea.

Can you, or someone else, help me?

Thanks!

Welcome at CFC :).

No idea, why the sound exactly vanishes, but it has to do with inproper modification of the sound XML files.
If you can't roll your changes back, then you have to kick the sound XML files and do the changes agan :(.
 
Yeah, I'd love to as well, but the art necessary for that would be difficult I think...

The_J: Thanks! Do you know any coding or enough XML coding to check the sounds files if I were to send them? Also, is it just the A2SD/AudioDefines or is it any XML file?
 
Any idea if he's ever gonna make anymore? I'd like to know how to add a unit.

There'll probably not come any more videos.
Look at the date of it.

But there are 2 tutorials (but not video) in the forum for that.

There's enough art in the forum available ;).

Sorry, the sound XML files are one of the things i couldn't really figure out myself.
I've failed 5 or 6 times to add a new one and my game was silent then.
But i think there's also a tutorial for that around here in the forum :think:.
 
Uh, okay, thanks.

By the way, I downloaded "Mars, Now!" and it's fantastic!

Though I do wish that there were maps including ocean to use the ships and such. I tried regenerating the map and every time I had little more than just a couple of little ponds.
 
Never mind, I got it. It was a compatibility issue with the custom anthem I selected for my new civ which did not properly convert and thus threw a wrench in the whole process.
