WHy cant I make new Technologies

October 30, 2012 5:30:43 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

Hi there im not an expert modder or anything but I can usully find my way around xml files and add things like technologies and stuff. I did this on Civ 5 with ease (very easy game to mod).

However I cant make a new technology the game just doesnt recognise any technologies I add to the game its weird. However I was able to add random traits that sov and hero can use on level up. I added the tech and I added it to the tech list as well and put it in mods folder but the game doesnt seem to recognise it at all whatsoever.

Anyone else made new techs?

Finally I would just like to know if its possible to mod so after a champion receives 3 injuries he has a chance to die, going up 10%, 20%, 30%, etc... Also same for sovereign after 6 deaths.

On new techs you have to make an entry in both the TechTree_Amarian.xml file and the Techs_Amarian.xml file otherwise the game won't show it for research.

Basically I have 3 files one is the tech tree with the new tech listed in the category i need.

2nd is a technology i modified to have a new prequisite for the new tech I was adding.

3rd is the actual new technology with all details altered perfectly.

I added these to the Mods folder like my other mod for traits which works fine.

Have you set it so that the race is using your new tech tree?

Because in the raceconfig you have to set it to the tech tree that you want them to use unless you edited the core file

if you mod the core files you may need to run in admin mode once for the game to detect the changes.... don't know why, but it seems to help.

Actually I just got it to work when I modify the core files instead of adding it to mods, but I really didnt wanna do that.

Btw I had tried running admin mode but it didnt help.

I'm not sure if this a serious post or if he's trying to burn our eyes out.
