New Recruits for Modding c2c

[GiuseppeIII]

Hello I'm new to the modding community but definitely not new to civ. I was wondering if i could help out with the modding of c2c. I don't know much about modding bit I would be willing to learn. So if you got anything you want me to start on or help with just contact me. Thanks

The way it works here is you find something that you think needs fixing and provide a fix. See here especially the bit about helping out.

Some people come up with detailed ideas, others provide a mod. Sometimes they only do one thing and move on. Anything that helps is appreciated but we are a bit anarchic in what we do.

What part of the game are you interested in modding? Buildings? Units? Techs? Civs? Maps? There are countless things you could help with. Most have someone already working on them, however the more the better since spreading out he work gets things done faster. Check out the forum and find a topic that you like and then comment on it. That's the first step in helping. The next step would get very familiar with C2C. Its a huge mod and chances are your ideas may already be made. However we can always improve upon ideas if you have a good enough idea.

Welcome to C2C!

Welcome GuiseppeIII! It seems the main thing that drives modification projects is being annoyed with the lack of a feature and seeking out a means to include it somehow. We're all willing to offer some assistance where needed. There's a lot to know but if you pick a small thing you want to see in the game and start there, once you achieve your goal, you'll end up taking your first step into a feeling of power and pride that tends to feed more and more ideas (so many you won't be able to figure out where to focus next!)

I've already got some ideas now I just got to learn how to implement them

First thing I have thought of is a Nutella Factory
Needs 1 source of chocolate and 1 source of hazelnut
Gives 3 food and 2 happiness

Firstly, it is better to edit your post rather than post another just after the first. That is what the edit button to the right is about. That and fixing spelling mistakes.

Probably better to not call it Nutella but something like it. Copywrite and all that.

Step 1. Find any building that uses two resources.
Step 2. Find the XML for that building. Copy it to your own file.
Step 3. Edit the XML. Add game text.
Step 4. Test

It is never that straight forward but that is, in theory, what you would need to do.

I would change the name to chocolatier perhaps?
We do have a corporation in the game called Wonka Confectioneries.

I probably want some sort of factory art for the building. How do you make buiilding/unit/any kind of art for civ4 BTS

Also could somebody make a hazelnut resource?? or should the building just require chocolate

We tend to go without building art these days because it was taking too much memory and some of it was causing problems.

There are a number of nut resources but no hazelnut at the moment.

I can always make a hazelnut city vicinity building. I have just about every other kind of nut.

Ok so dont put anything where it says building art also is there any quick way to find a building that uses two resources instead of scrolling through every single building
Also im not getting an email after setting up a sourceforge acount and it isnt going to spam.
