Text and modular LHs

[Circuit]

I designed a new leader head and placed the text in the appropriate text file. Everything works except for the diplomacy text. You see nothing upon meeting the leader, just "peace" and "war" options. The same is true for the Theodora plug n play leaderhead. How do I get the text to work?

The Civ4DiplomacyInfos.XML (where you need to assgin the text quotes to whatever occasion you want them for) can not be modular.

I don't think you can just type up some custom text and it expect it to work... the way I understand it is leaders use the neutral texts too, so if there's 18 neutral texts and one custom text, you have a 1-in-19 chance of seeing the custom text... at least that's my take on it.

Simply-put, it's more complicated then it needs to be from my understanding (which could be wrong).

Unfortunately, your understanding is correct...

So to summarize - Civ4DiplomacyInfos.xml is not Modul-able, a PITA to edit and does not relly give you the results you expect. @ whoever came up with the system.

There is no generic text for "first contact" - this is the only one where you are actually guaranteed to get your custom quote. The downside: new leaderheads where no dedicated first contact quote was added will not say nothing when you first meet, and use generic quotes on all other occasions.
