[QUESTION] Making My Mod Work

[VigilPrime]

I recently decided I wanted to increase the research time for all technologies in all eras, for all game types.

So I downloaded Mod Buddy, made a new Games Rule.XML, and copy and pasted in the XML code from CIV5GameSpeeds.xml, then changed the Research Percent accordingly (marathon was changed to 700 percent).

I set the mod to update database on load, compiled it, then went in, activated it, and started a game. For whatever reason no matter what I do it won't take effect. Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks in advance for the help.

In your logs folder is database log. Check first to make sure everything is load and it will also help if it isnt loading to find out what it is.

Thanks for your reply but I'm not sure what I am checking for here exactly. This is what I got:

[159085.716] constraint failed
[159085.716] While executing - 'INSERT INTO ArtDefine_StrategicView(StrategicViewType, TileType, Asset) VALUES(?,?,?)'

Zip up your mod (the full built mod in its folder, not the individual files) and post it here. There are folks here that will likely spot the problem in seconds.

Here it is. I am absolutely new to modding so I'm sure there is some critical step I am missing.

See "Updating an object" on page 20 of Kael's modding guide.

You don't want <Row> elements, you need <Update> elements

Woh man, I was just talking to you on your Global - 5 units per tile mod. Funny thing is I was thinking "man I should ask him, I bet he knows" but decided against it because I didn't want to clutter up your comments page.

Anyways, thank you again for the quick reply. I will check that guide out. There is a lot of reading I have yet to do in regards to modding, impatience with the speed of research got the better of me sadly.

I want this mod when its done.

I feel that the parity of units vs techs is terrible, by the time i have 8 units, 6 of them are obselete. The best fix then, is to slow down tech rate about 15% so that early game doesn't just whizz on by.

I'll link to it here when I upload it.

Current version is here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=76949517

Everything seems to be working as intended. I'll create other quicker/longer versions later, must head to class now.
