About SevoPedia
---------------------
Greetings. I love cIV, but we all know that they dropped the ball with the civilopedia. It's impossible to navigate easily and non-intuitive in design. So this is an improvement. Sevo's Civilopedia (or...Sevo-lo-pedia, or even Sevopedia, but I digress...) This mod turns the civilopedia into a nicer, user-friendly, easy-to-navigate reference.
Features
---------------------
* Menus moved to left, with main menu on far left, sub-menu next to it
* Main menu list reordered into groups with icons
* Sub Menu organized into an easy to read list.
* New in this version: Pictures included in list!
* No more hopping away from the top screen when you select a page. The page comes up
in the available to space on the right
* Includes previously hidden entries (check out the barbarian leader...)
* Will easily integrate with almost all existing mods
* Can disable animations if desired
* Vovan's Unit Upgrade Chart: Will automatically produce upgrade chart for units, even when modded!
Installation
---------------------
Unpack the archive. It will automatically create the correct folder tree.
For the vanilla cIV, you can do this in either /My Docs/My Games/cIV/CustomAssets or you can add it to /civ4/mods/customassets and use it as a loadable mod.
To incorporate this into any existing mod, just add the files to your /Assets/ directory. That's all there is to it. (I'd request that you give me a shout out and include this readme file with your mod archive! Thanks!)
Disabling the Animations
---------------------
Per requests, I have included a way to disable the animations on the civilopedia screens. It will disable the unit, building, resource, and improvement animations; the leaderhead animation will stay. It's easy.
Using any text editor (notepad, e.g.), open the "CvPediaMain.py" file included in the archive. A few lines into the file there is a clearly marked section with the line "self.animations = True". To disable all of the animations, change this line to "self.animations = False". You can't miss the section if you're in the correct file, and the directions are repeated there. Please DO NOT change the indentation or the file may cease to work all together!
By default the animations are left on.

if you can manage to someday get the icons in there you should get firaxis to incorporate this into the official game.
