HELP...can't get the pop mods to work...

[Iroczss]

Guys I can't get the population mods to work...I tried all of the ones from the thread in this forum and it just refuses to work...I load up my saved game and its at 200/200, I have tried copying the entire xml file and editing the file manually and it doesn't help...any suggestions?

You need to edit one more thing in the rules.xml

Go to the place, where it says this:

< CATEGORIES id="poplimits" title="Population:" >
	< CATEGORY name="50 " >
		< DATA > 50 < / DATA >
	< / CATEGORY >
	< CATEGORY name="75 " >
		< DATA> 75 < / DATA >
	< / CATEGORY >
	< CATEGORY name="100" >
		< DATA > 100 < / DATA >
	< / CATEGORY >
	< CATEGORY name="125" >
		< DATA > 125 < / DATA >
	< / CATEGORY >
	< CATEGORY name="150" >
		< DATA > 150 < / DATA >
	< / CATEGORY >
	< CATEGORY name="350" >
		< DATA > 350 < / DATA >
	< / CATEGORY >
< / CATEGORIES >

You'll see the numbers are different in the original file. Normally the last number is 200 instead of 350. Just change the number 200 to your pop-limit...


Hope this helps...

Here's what my XML looks like for the popultion sections, I can't seem to find a problem...

> value="0 pop cap"
> > entry0="99999"
entry1="99999"
entry2="99999"
entry3="99999"
entry4="99999"
entry5="99999"
entry6="99999"
entry7="99999 pop cap"
> > value="0 pop cap"
> > value="0 pop cap"



id="poplimits"
title="Population:"
> name="99999"
> >99999 > > name="99999"
> >99999 > > name="99999"
> >99999 > > name="99999"
> >99999 > > name="99999"
> >99999 > > name="99999"
> >99999

Check my above post...

Ok I checked the file and its like yours the only difference is I edited the pop limits at all levels of millitary achievement and it still doesn't work...whenever I cut and paste it it looks goofy...any way you could just email me your rules.xml file and I'll try that? Iroczss@sbcglobal.net

I have already tried it once and it didn't work but maybe you're will...its frustrating, thatd be a kick ass game if it weren't for that pop limit.

First off, i don't see why you would want to put the pop cap up that high because the game or your pc will crash way before you ever hit the pop limit, but i'm still willing to help. ok this first bit is out of the unmodded rules.xml
by the don't copy and paste just edit the numbers that are in " "
MIN_POP_LIMIT value="0 pop cap" />
POP_CAP entry0="25" entry1="50" entry2="75" entry3="100" entry4="125" entry5="150" entry6="175" entry7="200 pop cap" />

ok here another bit out of the same file

CATEGORIES id="poplimits" title="Population:">
CATEGORY name="50">
DATA>50
/CATEGORY>
CATEGORY name="75">
DATA>75
/CATEGORY>
CATEGORY name="100">
DATA>100
/CATEGORY>
CATEGORY name="125">
DATA>125
/CATEGORY>
CATEGORY name="150">
DATA>150
/CATEGORY>
CATEGORY name="200">
DATA>200
/CATEGORY>

now here the same thing but it's modded this time

MIN_POP_LIMIT value="0 pop cap" />
POP_CAP entry0="50" entry1="100" entry2="150" entry3="200" entry4="250" entry5="300" entry6="350" entry7="400 pop cap" />

and now the other

CATEGORIES id="poplimits" title="Population:">
CATEGORY name="100">
DATA>100
/CATEGORY>
CATEGORY name="150">
DATA>150
/CATEGORY>
CATEGORY name="200">
DATA>200
/CATEGORY>
CATEGORY name="250">
DATA>250
/CATEGORY>
CATEGORY name="300">
DATA>300
/CATEGORY>
CATEGORY name="400">
DATA>400
/CATEGORY>

now do you see the difference. take a good look at both and you'll easily figure out what you was doing wrong and if you would like for me to explian it a bit more i will.

there is a < at the begining of each line but i had to remove them in oder for the post to show properly

You can't copy/paste it, since I had to add spaces in the above text, to make it show right


I have added the file here, so you can check it out, but there might be other changes in there, so you might want to just copy/paste the things needed, and not the whole file...

EDIT: The file couldn't be uploaded, but you can download it from here:
