XML - Trying to troubleshoot a mod showing up in list but seemingly not loading.

Galgus · Jul 8, 2015

As the title says, I'm trying to find out if the mod isn't working due to the XML or some other error.

It's a fairly simple mod with XML largely copied from other text.

I don't think the XML is the problem, but I'm posting it and the Modinfo folder here in hopes that better modders might see what is wrong.

Always preserve the capitalization format as used by Firaxis. In many places it will not matter, but in other places it matters 100%. Don't try to remember where it does or does not matter -- use tag names, column names, table-names, etc., exactly as Firaxis did.
- Policy_Honor
- Policy_Honor_Finisher
There can only be one occurance of <Set Something="Something" />within one pair of <Update> -- </Update> commands.
- This is acceptable:
  Code:
```
	<Traits>
		<Update>
			<Where Type="TRAIT_CULTURE_FROM_KILLS" />
			<Set FaithFromKills="100" CultureFromKills="500" />
		</Update>
	</Traits>
```
- What you had is not. There are two places I saw where you made this mistake.

Additional about formatting on the forum, use the

Code:

 wraps around your chunks of quoted game-XML. Makes it much easier to read. In the advanced view for creating forum posts the '#' sign Button will automatically give [code] wraps around a selected section of text you are adding to a post.

Thanks!

I'll be sure to remember capitalization, format updates properly, and use the code view on forums.
