    Isabella

    I have a problem. I am perhaps intermediate skilled at modding, but this problem has me stumped.

    I have added a new civilization, special unit and building and created a new leader. What I did though was base the new leader on Isabella. I have everything linked to the original Isabella data, but I would like to copy her information, rename it, link my leader to that and then go in and change a few thing to make it different. (I guess I am talking about the Art type files, since I already have the data seperate for my new leader.) I would like to adjust the way she looks some to make her unique.

    My problem is I look through all of the leader folders/files I can find. (Original Civ 4, Warlords and Beyond the Sword) I see a lot of other leaders folders, but for some reason I cannot find an Isabella folder anywhere.

    What am I doing wrong? Did I pick the wrong leader to try my hand at modding?? I really like her look and want my leader to be based off of her.

    Any help would be great. Thank you very much for your time.

    Hey Steph,

    The "original" Civ4 graphics are in what's called an art PAK file. This is unaccessible to the average person.

    However Firaxis released a tool to unpack this file so that you have access to the real art files.

    You can get the tool from here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=136023

    Yeah, I know it's CFC but I couldn't find it here.

      That's probably because you're just lazy

      The file is here:

          Thank you very much. I would definatly never have been able to figure this out by myself.

          My next question is going to be about my unique unit and building. I can make them show up in the Pedia, but when playing they do not show up as being buildable. Plus in the Pedia I have not yet figured out how to have it state "unique unit of the 'my civ' empire"...

          I will be looking through the forums for more help concerning this.

          At least now I can make Empress Stephanie look a bit different than Isabella. Thank you.

            To fix up the unique unit/building, please paste the following here (place between [ code ] & [ /code ] tags):

            1. Your new Civ from Civ4CivilizationInfos.xml
            2. Your new unit from Civ4UnitInfos.xml
            3. Your new building from Civ4BuildingInfos.xml

            That should be all that's needed to fix this up for you.

              - I previewed thismand all of the tags are missing. I hope I am sending this as you had wanted-

              Thank you. I have not had much luck trying to figure this out looking through the forums.

              The civilization is basically a copy of Germany, and the Unit and Building are copies of the German Uniques. But in the Pedia they list normally, but do not state they are unique to the new Civ. In the game they are not buildable by the Civ.

              Any help would be super great.

              PS. One last thing, in the Pedia, when my mod (Last War) is loaded with my Civ The tech Rifling says "Can train Rifleman, .... Cavalry, Tank, Tank" Assembly Line states "Can construct Factory, Coal ...... Pentagon, Factory". For some reason my adding these unique units has made the Pedia list the trainable/constructable units to be repeated??

                I was able to get the tags out of the code tags. You provided it perfect.

                I'm looking into it now.

                  Okay this is the CivilizationInfos you need. Notice I changed the BUILDINGCLASS and UNITCLASS to what they are in BuildingInfos and UnitInfos.

                  A unique building/unit must have the same UNITCLASS or BUILDINGCLASS as the unit/building it replaces. You had BuildingInfos and UnitInfos correct, but not the CivilizationInfos.
