trying to get my mod to work, need help

Fietstasfabriek · Aug 5, 2012

Hello, I'm trying to make a mod (for the first time) that alters most of the values in the "CIV5GameSpeeds.xml" (including Gods&kings) for marathon speed. I can get it to load ingame but there doesn't seem to be any effect.

currently this is what I've got, i've also set up an Action "OnModActivated - UpdateDatabase" and at Associations I've set up a dependency for Gods&Kings

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<GameData>

Anyone have an idea what could be wrong?

DealDuriation

OpinionDuriation

It should be "Duration". The database.log file should give you a "no such column" error, and when there is an error in a file, the entire file won't have any effect.

(Btw with such mod you'll build Wealth or Research in your cities most of the time

)

okay i fixed the "Duriation" => "Duration" but it still doesn't work, where can I see the database.log file?

balance is probably very bad but what I'm trying is to have the mod set speeds for production/growth/culture/faith/etc (all except golden age length and science) to something between quick/standard and have gold maintenance low, but at the moment it does nothing at all (it should set Production to 50% of standard = 20 :c5production:

for a warrior, on marathon its still 300% (120 :c5production:

))

Capitalize "Set".

Also, you can save yourself a little typing and put multiple tags within a single "Set". You can even hit Enter and stack them for easier viewing.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<GameData>
	<GameSpeeds>
		<Update>
			<Where Type="GAMESPEED_MARATHON"/>
                        <Set 
			DealDuriation="45"
			GrowthPercent="90"
			TrainPercent="50"
			ConstructPercent="75"
			
			[COLOR="DimGray"](etc.... etc....)[/COLOR]

			/>
		</Update>
	</GameSpeeds>
</GameData>

Also, I try not type-out most things. Usually, I just copy and past from the file in Notepad++ to Modbuddy. Just double-click a word and it'll highlight it all. Even with Update tags and others; I just copy from above and just paste-in new tag names. Personally, I believe it saves me from a lot of trouble.

it's already capitalized.

I don't care too much about efficiency at the moment, I just want it to work.
