Trying to Add Varietas Delectat to Mod

[CaterpillarKing]

I'm a newbie to modding. I'm the manager of a large-scale mod that's being made right now but our only programmer is bogged down and has no time so I'm trying to do some stuff on my own. I don't know where to even start with adding this. Even he had problems getting VD to work. Any help is appreciated.

I think you would have to either

-Start with Varietas Delectat, and build your mod up using that as a base

or

-Merge XML

You could also go the modular route. Hope this helps.

Modular route? What do you specifically mean by that?

You could use Modular Loading to implement Varietas Delectat. In your mod's assets foldier, create a folder called "Modules". You place Varietas Delectat inside this folder..

You probably would want to read up more about modular loading. I know how it works with my own mod but best be on the safe side.

I've implemented VD for DoC as a module, so that may be a good way to start looking.

Unfortunately VD cannot be made entirely modular (unless you consider Ethnic City Styles a separate mod), because the CityLSystem XML isn't compatible with modular loading.

I've made some custom adjustments for my module, but other than UUs DoC uses the same unit roster as base BtS, so using it for a different mod shouldn't require that many adjustments.
