Need help with civilization

[Envisionred]

Im working on a mod to add a mountain clan civ, and I'm working off of the excellent CIV5
modding tutorial by Derek "Kael" Paxton. I've written out all my XML for a custom leader, civilization, units, etc. and am currently working on art assets (I am a competent 3d modeler/animator). However, when I load up my mod there seem to be no changes whatsoever to the game. I am using it correctly as I have run mods before so the problem seems to be in my XML. I have posted a fragment below and would like any pointers as to why it is not working.

		</Row>
	</Civilizations>

As you can see, I am using several placeholder files for now, but that shouldn't matter all too much.

Have you checked your Logs files?

 

[Envisionred]

I'm looking through them, but I can't find anything relevant to this mod.

 

[Neirai]

When you say "no change whatsoever in the game" does the mod show up in your modlist?
Or is it that when you start a modded game with the mod, the team doesn't show up?

 

[Murphy613]

Maybe you didn't add the files to the build?

 

[Envisionred]

It shows up in my modlist, and yes, I added my XML to the build.

 

[Nutty]

It's much easier to help if you post the built mod, so we don't have to guess.

In any event, this thread may help.
