Simple? Mod but need help

[rikkia]

Hello Guys n Galls,

New to the forums so be gentle with me

I have spent the past few hours trying but failing miserably to create a mod which will let Barbs give 60 XP vs 30 and to tweak XP gains for different unit types. but regardless of what I try nothing seems to work.

I understand this is mostly due to me lack of knowledge of programming but I'm hoping someone may be able to advise me of where i am going wrong please...

Spoiler :

<GameData>
    <Defines>
        <Update>
            <Set Value="4"/>
            <Where Defines="EXPERIENCE_ATTACKING_UNIT_MELEE"/>
        </Update>
    </Defines>
</GameData>

Just 1 part where I wanted to begin testing, with melee attack XP down from 5 to 4 as a quick testing board.

I'm pretty sure my errors are the tags used but without having a much firmer grasp on programming its my first stumbling block.

I would love to keep at this so I can eventually move onto bigger and better things.

Thanks for reading
Rikki

It should be <Where Name="ABCD"> instead of Defines

Also keep in mind that if you in any way altered the original GlobalDefines.xml file in your Civ5 installation folder, that might prevent your change from being updated. In which case you can do a reinstall or ask someone to post attached an untampered GlobalDefines file.

Or simply press verify integrity check, which takes about 45 seconds rather than 5 hours.

Didn't really work, it said integrity was alright even after I deliberately renamed the whole Assets folder. How is that reliable?

I know everything.

 

[pdonettes]

so do you know my my mod is crashing the game? XD

 

[pdonettes]

In all seriousness, my mod looks fine on paper, but does nothing in game. I have no clue why.

 

[pdonettes]

I finally figured it out. please check my mod out and let me know what you think.

 

[rikkia]

pdonettes, sorry wasn't able to check back sooner but been laid up in bed with manflu all day. Glad you figured it out and will check it out when i feel a bit better and can muster energy to play.
