Noob Mod question

[Ben Miller]

I am trying to modify the Canada Civilization Mod, I have been trying to add production and food value's to the Snow tiles. any help is appreciated. thank you

 

[Olordrin]

Is it the Pearson Canada mod?

 

[Ben Miller]

Yes

 

[Ben Miller]

basically, i tried just copying the files and pasting them from the Civilization from the Trait Modifiers, Modifiers and Modifier arguments and replaced Tundra with Snow. Which just seemed to cause the game to not load

Being somewhat new at this, I'm going to give it a go. This is my best guess based on the info already there. Just add into the following areas:

<TraitModifiers>
<Row>
<TraitType>TRAIT_CIVILIZATION_HARDY</TraitType>
<ModifierId>TRAIT_CANADA_SNOW_FOOD</ModifierId>

<ModifierType>MODIFIER_PLAYER_ADJUST_PLOT_YIELD</ModifierType>
<SubjectRequirementSetId>PLOT_HAS_SNOW_REQUIREMENTS</SubjectRequirementSetId>
</Row>
</Modifiers>

<ModifierArguments>
<Row>
<ModifierId>TRAIT_CANADA_SNOW_FOOD</ModifierId>
<Name>YieldType</Name>
<Value>YIELD_FOOD</Value>
</Row>
<Row>
<ModifierId>TRAIT_CANADA_SNOW_FOOD</ModifierId>
<Name>Amount</Name>
<Value>2</Value>
</Row>
<Row>
<ModifierId>TRAIT_CANADA_SNOW_PRODUCTION</ModifierId>
<Name>YieldType</Name>
<Value>YIELD_PRODUCTION</Value>
</Row>
<Row>
<ModifierId>TRAIT_CANADA_SNOW_PRODUCTION</ModifierId>
<Name>Amount</Name>
<Value>2</Value>
</Row>
</ModifierArguments>


This should add it in the the trait already there. Or it could not. Still new at this.

 

[Olordrin]

Oh, and this should be in the Canada_Civilizations.xml

 

[Olordrin]

It is basically a copy/paste, but you have to change YIELD_PRODUCTION to YIELD_FOOD where applicable.

that was what i had tried, but when i tried to load the game it just went to loading, to start game to civ 6 menu screen

 

[Olordrin]

There might be an entry needed in the Config file, too. You can also go to the database.log file in /Documents/My Games/Civ6/Logs and it should show you which arguments are causing it to crash

I am lost at where the RequirementSets are

 

[Olordrin]

Nope, no idea. Given the syntax of everything previous, I feel like that should have worked.

 

[chillbaka1]

In my experience, changing values like this is much easier in SQLite. I haven't tried yet, but I will right now and get back to you.

 

[Olordrin]

The first few mods I've ever looked at were in xml, so that's what I ran with. I'm going to have to look at doing things in sql

 

[Olordrin]

I was looking through the game's actual xml files, looking for an answer to a problem I was having with my mod and I noticed that the feature listed there is FEATURE_ICE and not FEATURE_SNOW. That might be where it's hitching.

Check out Isau's tutorial, I only used XML as well before reading this. The amount of progress I've been able to make after going through that tutorial is incredible. Here's a link. https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/tutorial-modding-with-sqllite-studio-pc.608352/

 

[Olordrin]

Thanks, I'll give that a look tonight... when I'm not dodging work to check the forums.

 

[Olordrin]

Okay, this looks pretty cool. I may have to rework my mod using this (possibly), or start my 'official' mod once I finally get the one I'm working on working. If you can't tell by the influx of threads by me, that's not proceeding apace.
