xml question

[username804]

Hi kids!

I had Civ4 + Col on my laptop and had been able to edit both before.

I recently had a crash, and my HDD was wiped. I have reinstalled CIV4 & COL and the patches. I can edit CIV 4 in notepad just fine.

I cannot edit COL at all. (I did before, I just cant now.) I've even DL'd xml "editors" with no result. All I want to do is increase the food yield from farmers and fishermen. Seems simple, open Assets, tweek the "food yield" from 3 to 5, save into custom assets, etc.

I posted this in COL customization, but only got one answer, and it didn't work for me.

I'm fishing here, folks!

Thanks!

They have the exact same file types.

Right, I know that.

BUT

For some reason that I dont know COL is not using the custom assets modifications

I was wondering if someone might know a switch inside the xml ( 1 or 0 ) that I need to activate to make it work...

Nevermind, I fingered it out! I created a folder called "edit" and put my xml file in it, hiding it from the computer. I copied & pasted it directly into the Units main folder and now it all works.

Lesson for the kiddies, no extra folders
