Modders : About XML TextInfos

[Stone-D]

I've noticed that alot of modders... in fact most... have been copying and editing the original files.

THIS IS NOT NECESSARY.

Just copy any TextInfo XML file (eg., CIV4GameTextInfos_Objects.xml) to your mod folder. Call it whatever you like.

Now empty it, then add your texts and just your texts to it. This file takes priority when the game looks for text.

An example. I wanted to change the Barbarians to the Independants. So I made a blank textinfo xml, called it Independants.xml, and filled it with the following :

*edit*

Removed, tags not showing.

So here it is as an attachment instead.

This is true. You do not need any text xml files from the original assets. Any new file you place will take precedence.
