What am I missing !?!?

[grallon]

So following the civ specific techs thread I did all I could to change Taoism into Pantheism. This means:

I've changed the tech name; I've changed the religion specific building related to it (shrine/temple/etc) as well as the missionary unit. So there were a number of XMLs to edit (units/buildings/ the classes files for each).

And still the name doesn't appear in the Religious Advisor Screen. And now all the buildings and the unit show the same error: text_key_blah blah instead of the proper name. The Pedia does not even show icons for those buildings I've edited anymore ! I thought - and was told repeatadly - that all I needed was editing the XLMs. Is there *more* to it ??

howto modify religions thread

i´d say leave the fingers away from anything but the "<Tag>TXT_KEY_*" things.
This seems to be a difficult structure and only god knows at how many places the religion is linked.
Leave the TXT_KEY_* things as they are and only change the parts where it all coems together again.

here´s the name of the religion

etc... (i´m sure there´s more, buildings etc.)

just look for the keys and substitute what´s in them....this might be a bit sloppy but should do the job for renaming the religion.

i think this is the most lazy way since you won´t have to edit all the files that refer to the religion, just the religion itself. The whole structure of the religion stays the same, it just got another name

i think all you need to do, when renaming a religion is editing the names in the language tags not the name of the pointer itself.

if, for example you start editing

..every red part would lead you to another file that has to be replaced, edited.
This will be an endless worm of editing.

would be great if someone could give a go or no go for my solution, i m pretty sure it works but since i haven´t tried it i m not 100% sure.

Do you know what was missing ? A reference in the Civ4TextInfos_Objects.xlm !

Thanks for the lenghty answer.
