[The Hereafter]

Do you think you could add a link to a tutorial that simply teaches you how to download and use other peoples reskinning?
thanks in advance!

 

[woodelf]

I would think any of the adding new units tutorials would cover this Hereafter. Most early new units were simply new skins.

Hello Woodelf

Is there a guide how to change the CivilizationIV.ini file?
I have asked this question already in the thread http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=247288
but never got an answer.
Maybe you know more about this issue?
Thanks

Dino

I sent the original thread to tech support because I have no idea.

 

[snipperrabbit!!]

Woodelf, I guess you will want to add Ambrox62 and Bernie14 tutorials to the leaderhead list, won't you ?

 

[woodelf]

Added. Thanks snipper.

 

[lumpthing]

Although it probably needs to be updated.

It has always been stickied.

@Wyz - added, thanks.

And what about TECH?!
How to remove existing tech tree and make your own? It's still not here...

And what about TECH?!

It's not in this thread because no one has written one.

I've done this three ways:

1 - made a flowchart of my new tech tree and swapped out techs as I go along. This way keep the costs similar to vanilla techs.
2 - Deleted everything except Future Tech and added techs one by one. For this you need to c/p an entire tech entry and simply alter only the relevant tags.
3 - Use the BtS editor in the utilities subforum.

Hope this helps

I hope so too... Bu I already "cleaned" the tree.
But I can't make the <OrPreReq> and <AndPreReq> to do what they should... It's weird, I actually copy existing tech with prereqs from the original XML to mine, but when I change the TECH_SAILING to TECH_CRAFTING and <PrereqTech> tag to TECH_TOOLS (which I have), this tech isn't shown as it needs TECH_TOOLS, although TECH_TOOLS is described above the TECH_CRAFTING.... Can you tell me what's the problem?

 

[Deon]

Here I have some tech tutorial, and as long as there's no another one, you can shick this to the thread.

Any tutorials on terrain bonuses?

 

[moopoo]

Woodelf, have you added Ekmek's Powerpoint presentation? It's pretty good

 

[woodelf]

Just did, thanks. I'm sure there is more I should be updating. If anyone wants to send me links to new stuff that I haven't added please, feel free.

 

[Asjo]

Please add the following under XML - How to's - Civilizations - define leaders:

XML editing: CIV4LeaderHeadInfos

 

[LoneTraveller]

Is there a way to add a tile improvement for the workers ?

 

[Jimmyballz]

Any tutorials on terrain bonuses?

I'm still looking for one... and trying to add a bonus on my own in the meantime (lots 'o errors)

If there is a tutorial, a link would be greatly appreciated.
tnx!


EDIT: Xienwolf found the tutorial by Master Lexx here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=153584
