How to mod the colour of the Civs?

[Darth Balrog]

Hello!


How to mod the color of my civ?

And how to mod the other stats of my civ?

Thanks for any help.

You can change the name of your civ (Leader, adjectives, ect) by clicking Alt-D.

Color is a little more difficult. If you want to change the color of a civ forever, you can modify the XML. (If you want to preserve the original file, back it up, or copy the file to a folder ..\Civ4\Mods\Assets\XML\Civilizations\ and edit that. Then load it as a mod.)

..\Program Files\Civ4\Assets\XML\Civilizations\CIV4Civilizati onInfos.xml:

		<[i][/i]CivilizationInfo>
			<[i][/i]Type>CIVILIZATION_AMERICA<[i][/i]/Type>
			<[i][/i]Description>TXT_KEY_CIV_AMERICA_DESC<[i][/i]/Description>
			<[i][/i]ShortDescription>TXT_KEY_CIV_AMERICA_SHORT_DESC<[i][/i]/ShortDescription>
			<[i][/i]Adjective>TXT_KEY_CIV_AMERICA_ADJECTIVE<[i][/i]/Adjective>
			<[i][/i]Civilopedia>TXT_KEY_CIV_AMERICA_PEDIA<[i][/i]/Civilopedia>
			<[i][/i]DefaultPlayerColor>[b]PLAYERCOLOR_BLUE[/b]<[i][/i]/DefaultPlayerColor>

Edit the highlighted key for the civilization who's color you wish to change.

If you wish to only change the color for a specific game, the only way I know is to edit the world builder save after starting up the game. (There may, and definitely should if not, be an easier way.)

Start up a game.
Quit out.
Edit My Documents\My Games\Civ4\Saves\WorldBuilder\WBQuickSave.Civ4Worl dBuilderSave in a text editor.

BeginPlayer

	Handicap=HANDICAP_DEITY
EndPlayer

In SP you will always be team 0. So find that player and edit the highlighted entry. Then load the WBQuickSave.Civ4WorldBuilderSave in Single Player->Load A Scenario.

As for what values you can use, you can find those in ..\XML\Interface\CIV4PlayerColorInfos.xml

You can change the colors associated with those player color formats in ..\XML\Interface\ColorVals.xml
