Need Help for Simple Mod Change

[teriakiburger]

I am just trying to make a simple mod, with

1) Change to the game starting date to 8000 BC

2) Change number of turns and turn length for Epic

3) Increase the research time by 3x over standard epic

but it loads the mod, but nothing seems to be changed

Here is what I changed:

Created folders: "Ultra Epic" folder under "Mods", created Ultra Epic/Assets folder, created Ultra Epic/Assets/XML folder, created Ultra Epic/Assets/XML/GameInfo folder.

Copied GlobalDefines.XML and GlobalDefinesAlt.XML inside of Ultra Epic/Assets/XML

Changed GlobalDefines.XML item:

>DefineName>START_YEAR>/DefineName>
>iDefineIntVal>-8000>/iDefineIntVal>

also I put this inside GlobalDefinesAlt.XML since neither was working.

Now for Civ4GameSpeedInfo.XML copied this under Ultra Epic/Assets/XML/GameInfo.

Changed the GAMESPEED_EPIC items:

>iResearchPercent>450>/iResearchPercent>

and changed the to change around years per turn and increase turn number.

When I restart the game to play "Ultra Epic" nothing seems to be different from the normal game?

What am I screwing up?

Hmm it seems to work if I change the Folder Name from the mod from "Ultra Epic" to just "Ultra".

I guess the space in the name was messing it up?
