Playing with modded Civ turns the game into spectator mode

Hi guys!

I recently started creating my own project of creating a few Civs to play with, so I started using Modbuddy's default "Create new Civ" template (the one with the kittens) for my first one. After searching for some time, I manage to make what I want (minus the art but that'll have to wait for another time I guess), I build it fine, and try to test it, perfect, I'm on the list of Leaders, so I try to play with myself, create game, it lauches normally... Except for one detail. I'm not in it. I'm in spectator mode watching the AIs, and my custom civilization isn't in it.

So, after some searching, I found database.log, and here's what it gives me :

Spoiler database.log :

So, there are many errors, I know, most of which seems to happen when I try to add something into the BaseGameText table. Thing is, I never insert anything into this table, and a search for "BaseGameText" (In "Entire Solution") gives nothing. Worse, when they give the values that were meant to be inserted (like LOC_ESPIONAGECHOOSER_FILTER_ALL), and I do the search, they don't pop up either. I know it's a problem from my mod since when I play any other civilization it doesn't happen and the log file is fine.

Now for the question : Where does the problem comes from? How can I change it?

I joined the post-build folder (the one you just need to insert into {GameFolder}/Mods), and just in case, here's the Modding.log (Just in case : Warning, long log) :

EDIT : If it helps, when I load a game playing as another civilization, with my custom one playing as the AI, it loads. I still have to find the AI-me tho so I don't know if they are in.

got no chance to download and take a look now, but i had the same errors in database.log a while ago, the problem in my case was simply one mistake: i put everything in only a few xml files, mixed it all together and messed it up by doing that way. So the solution in my case was, download a modded civ, and split all xml entries in the same way as in the working modded civ i downloaded. to have the exact same xml-files structure...imagine you want to achieve the same structure as in civilizations.xml of the modded civ, so you will put those entries in your own civilizations.xml, everything in units.xml of the modded civ into your own units.xml and so on. of course you want your own entries but the same structure as in the modded civ. if you do it right, then you will no longer watch the game in spectator mode

hope this helps a bit until someone else will help you in a more detailed way.

But these are not your files. Your mod is not even loaded, i don’t see any reference to your files in modding.log.

After removing all other mods (apparently those were caused by YNAMP (I guess I forgot modding 101 "Always test your mods on Vanilla")), this section disappeared from the Modding.log, but not the problem :/

EDIT : Now the only Warning left are from LocalizedText Error loading XMLs, but those are from the game's China translation so I "suppose" they are normal?

Really? I thought they were when I saw this :

This is just a message saying that your mod was recognized by the system.
When the mod is actually loading, it generates multiple lines, basically for each file from the mod there will be a corresponding line in modding.log.

Oh I see. Well now I'll now how to see if it loaded properly.

Now the question is why doesn't they load? At first I suspected the .modinfo but after comparing mine with another mod (to be precise it was Rise And Fall Of Usurper), I didn't see the difference... And after looking at every .log file I have no idea where it could have gone wrong

It is enabled. And I can even go to the point where I select my own Leader, who has the exact two icons I set for him.

@MaxNobody - These are not a problem and can be safely ignored, they are for YnAMP if you want to add your own custom code/changes. If you don't add your own custom SQL/XML file(s) then you will get this error since Gedemon references it/them in the mod's modinfo.

It seems that FrontEnd config has some errors, probably not everything is defined that is needed to run the game.
I got errors in lua.log about nils here:

Code:

       local leaderType:string = playerConfig:GetLeaderTypeName();
    leaderHeader.Header:SetText(Locale.ToUpper(Locale.Lookup(info.LeaderName)));

The civ cannot be initialized properly and the game starts without it in AutoPlay mode.

The problem is with wrong criteria definition in .modinfo. It uses a non-existent leader type (LEADER_MAX_NOBODY and you defined LEADER_MN_MAX_NOBODY). Plus the format is a bit wrong.
It should be:

Code:

    <Criteria id="LeaderCriteria">
      <LeaderPlayable>Players:StandardPlayers::LEADER_MN_MAX_NOBODY,StandardPlayers::LEADER_MN_MAX_NOBODY</LeaderPlayable>
    </Criteria>

This works only with Vanilla game, for R&F you need a separate criteria.
After that the mod loads and you get a lot DB errors:

Code:

[1646428.900] [Gameplay] ERROR: table Units has no column named CostProgressionMode
