My civilopedia info will not show up

[nokmirt]

I have a unit named galleas that worked but now in the middle of my game the unit info in the civilopedia does not show up. An enemy built one and it was a galleas but the hull was blue, it is not reading the unit info in the unit folder, where should I put this besides, in my mod? There is no info for strategy or a unit description, just a blank page with the icon of a frigate which I am using as the button. Where do I put my unit info show the civilopedia entries show up?

In your unit info XML file, you will have created your unit, and in that coding there will be something like:

<Description>TXT_KEY_UNIT_GALLEAS</Description

The text keys link to the civilopedia

so you need a file like this:

I have all that and I still have only the button without info. My other unit shows fine.

Check the artdefines, it's likely an error with the KFM file's link.

 

[DocEcho]

Would that also cause me to get a python error that crashes the game. As soon as it is created I get it when the unit tries to appear.

 

[Dancing Hoskuld]

if the button is not exactly 64x64 pixels the game will crash as soon as a city tries to build the unit. It is because of the way the EXE processes the button to display it in the circle on the city bar.

Thanks, I'll double check that.
