Name help (please)

[fozo1655]

I have a simple question. When modding do names have any protocol?

If you help and want credit say so and if I use the info I will. If you say nothing no credit will be given to you from me.

Not really, people just name them whatever they want :/ If you browse the popular mods there aren't any real patterns. However, DO use the version number if making multiple similar mods!

I guess I was unclear I ment in the sml files I followed the modding guide but Honest Abe is not showing his face on the leader select screen.

I don't really add anything atm, just change values. But names shouldn't have a protocol really. If something doesn't show up, it can be any number of errors, pretty much all errors result in nothing happening.

okay well thanks! I'll look it over.

Unfourently I can't cedit you for this help but whatever thanks.

sml? Do you mean xml? And naming your mod doesn't mean anything to the program. Using the wrong names for already existing items will cause problems. What exactly are you trying to change?

 

[fozo1655]

I added a new leader to the game (made a new civ too) and I install it and enable it but can not select it in game.

Sorry about typo.

Do you have the section 'actions' in the mod properties screen set to OnModActivated UpdateDatabase "filename" ?

 

[fozo1655]

Yes I have set that

You'll have to post the code if you need more specific help than this.

Edit: Nevermind, I see you already started another thread.
