Noob modder trying to add resources to Snow tiles.

[Peng Qi]

This is my code:

<GameData>
	<Resource_TerrainBooleans>
		<Row>
			<ResourceType>RESOURCE_DEER</ResourceType>
			<TerrainType>TERRAIN_SNOW</TerrainType>
		</Row>
		<Row>
			<ResourceType>RESOURCE_FUR</ResourceType>
			<TerrainType>TERRAIN_SNOW</TerrainType>
		</Row>
	</Resource_TerrainBooleans>
</GameData>

What else do I need to do?

The file you are looking for is AssignStartingPlots.lua; those GameData tables do just about nothing (well, they used to do something... I'm fairly sure they still do something somewhere..... but nearly everything in terms of map generation is currently hard-coded by Firaxis in AssignStartingPlots.lua).

Note: in the event that it takes you an inordinate amount of time to understand the logic of this file.... this is normal (because everything is all over the place, and there's just so much stuffed inside the file itself)! Just take it slow

For bonus resources, the plot eligibility is determined inside:

function AssignStartingPlots:GenerateGlobalResourcePlotLists()

Just add a list of plots for snow tiles, and link it up with the functions (there are multiple), such as the

function AssignStartingPlots:AddExtraBonusesToHillsRegions()

and

function AssignStartingPlots:PlaceStrategicAndBonusResources()

and these are in addition to the functions that places bonus/strategic resources at a civilization (or city state's) start locations.... which you are going to need to also modify (as I'm fairly certain - don't quote me on it though - they will also classify snow tiles as "bad" tiles when determining plot eligibility to place those extra resources next to your initial city sites).

I guess I have to start learning LUA earlier than I expected.

Thanks!
