Palace hardcoded ?

[grallon]

I've added a new building: the tribal hall (using the Palace model). I want this to be the initial gov center - building only after Agriculture has been discovered. The Palace (using the Castle model) will become available only after Monarchy is discovered. So I made the changes in the building XLM and yet when I fire a game there is the palace... How can I change this so that it's not present at the onset ?

Nothing's really hardcoded, and if you're only changing the name, it should be working fine, assuming the mod was loaded correctly.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think what you need to change is this line in the CIV4CivilizationInfos.xml:

<FreeBuildingClasses>
<FreeBuildingClass>
<BuildingClassType>BUILDINGCLASS_PALACE</BuildingClassType>
<bFreeBuildingClass>1</bFreeBuildingClass>
</FreeBuildingClass>
</FreeBuildingClasses>

This line is there for every civilization. Unfortunately that means you'll have to change it for all of them individually.

Of course ! And it worked perfectly. Thank you. A pity all this modding is slowed down that way by the illogical layout of information scattered all over the place
