why doesn't my mod work?

[DougM]

I'm trying to make a simple mod for myself, where basically my only desire (initially) is to convert all wonders into per-civilization special buildings so that possession of a wonder doesn't render such an advantage, particularly for things like pyramids that let you jump way ahead of the tech tree.

So I create Mods/DougM/

with

Assets / XML /

and modify CIV4BuildingClassInfos.xml with

BUILDINGCLASS_PYRAMID
TXT_KEY_BUILDING_PYRAMID
-1
-1
1
0
0
BUILDING_PYRAMID




But this doesn't work. The pyramids are still a world wonder with only one allowed. Is there somewhere else I have to change to get this to work?

And just in case any firaxian should happen to hear about this, whatever happened to using schema defaults! There's no excuse for these huge files with tons of repetition in the variables!

[DougM]

Bah, sorry, can't figure out how to auto-escape my mod xml.
Here are the relevant variables:

iMaxGlobalInstances-1/iMaxGlobalInstances
iMaxTeamInstances-1/iMaxTeamInstances
iMaxPlayerInstances1/iMaxPlayerInstances

I just changed the pyramid with the values you selected, and it worked fine. The game now recognizes the pyramids as a national wonder.

Where did you put your modified CIV4BuildingClassInfos.xml file? Assuming your mod's directory is Mods\DougM , you should put your file in Mods\DougM\Assets\XML\Buildings\

thanks

It turned out I hadn't set the allow cheats flag in my civ4 config. After setting that it works for me now.
