Heres what is going on:

I am trying to merge Great Person Mod, with my mod Next Advanced War.

I got it merged and everyone that has looked at it says it if fine and SHOULD work. I even had alot of python personnel look at it, no problems.

But when a Great Person is supposed to POP-UP its the default one and NOT the pop-up of the pictured person that is supposed to be there.

What i have done trying to resolve this:

It has taken me three months to get to where i am now, but i have isolated the problem down.

Heres what i did, i found a mod that the Great Person mod worked and starting deleting folders one by one, until i got it down to just a few files of the OTHER mod.
I got it down the the mods name, and inside is the Assets folder containg Art folder and in the art folder is the GreatPerson folder containing all the dds files (pics).

BUT when i change the CvModName.py to my name of the mod, it goes back to the DEFAULT. (No pic):mad::mad:

BUT if i leave the OTHER mod and its contents in the MOD folder it works perfectly. But i have to leave the CvModName.py as the name of the OTHER mod, also.

If i remove the OTHER mod from the MOD folder, it again goes back to the default (no pics), even if i leave the CvModName.py named as the other mod.:crazyeye:
But as soon as i put the other mod back in the MOD folder it works again??:confused:

In my mod i know i have the dds files in the correct area. (Assets/Art/GreatPerson/dds files.)

But like i said if i dont put the OTHER mod in the MOD folder CONTAINING the GreatPerson folder with the dds files, it wont work.

So i am looking for a solution or a remedy how to make it WORK, correcly:blush:

Here is the thread i had been working on, but i just cant get ANYONE to give me a solution on how to fix, and i have asked ALOT of people here on CFC.

Is the path maybe also named somewhere else besides the CvPath.py?

In CvConfigParser:
00026: import CvPath
00062: print "CvPath.assetsPath\n", CvPath.assetsPath
00065: for dir in CvPath.assetsPath]

CvGreatPersonScreen:
00008: import CvPath
00063: szArtPath = CvPath.getPath(os.path.join("art","GreatPeople"), "Great Person.dds")
 
No, i've meant the direct path, with the name of your mod in it.

OK, the only python files that contains the mods name is:

EnhancedTechConquest:
config = CvConfigParser.CvConfigParser("Next War Advanced Config.ini")

CvPath:
modName = "Next War Advanced"
 
That can't be, because:

has nothing to do with the mod you're talking about.


I just wrote down everything that had the mods name on it.
(See first para of post # 1).
