My very first try that didn't work. Please, any help?

[Wirapuru]

Through the help of Dale's and others posts I tried to make a mini-tweak (more for training) to see if I could change the behaviour of ruins results. My first attempt is to leave only one type of result, in this case when you gain a free technology. To achieve that I tried to delete every other type of result, like that:

The .modinfo:

But it didn't work. Now I can't tell if the problem is with the XML or with the .modinfo, they seem fine as far as I think how to do it, are they ok? I can enable the mod ingame and play, but I still get all the ruins results I tried to delete.

Does someone see what's wrong with it?

the files if you want to test it: http://www.zilefile.com/files/12541_aofw2/Remove Ruins Concepts v0.1.7z

Thanks for any help.

Maybe I tried something that looked simple but isn't? Does anyone know if this is, at least, the right approach for doing it?

Anyways.. I guess I'll try something less unusual first then.

I'm having the exact same problem with my mod

I'm glad it's just not me. I think my mod is only working partially, only one out of the three XML files seem to be updating, and even then only partially so.
And another modder seems to be running into the same issues

Hm, I hope there's really something more we have to do, and not some restriction, it would be a bummer..

I guess I'll try to find any log since civ 5 seems to have a lot to debug. I did search the sqlite db for any change but no luck. Maybe those debuggers help too, any news I post here - thanks for replying

I've noticed something: in my .modinfo my files are Folder/file.xml and my Actions are Folder\file.xml, while on yours both are Folder/file.xml.

Since it's not working for both of us that's probably not the core of the issue, but still one of us has to wrong I'm guessing it's me.

That's weird, I didn't remember writing forward slashes on there xD I maybe 'm spending too much time on linux, but I saw some examples and all them use forward too, unexpected since it's a windows game eh =]

Unfortunately I don't have good news so far.. since this first version I had to do without the SDK I thought on doing the same mod with ModBuddy and... same thing, nothing changes - not ingame neither on sqlite. bad feelings

I think I found the solution. Posted below:
