The '''Civ4ForceControlInfos''' file describes the name and text for various forced options in multiplayer games.

All tags must be opened and closed; the first is the "open", the second the "close" tag. If nothing goes inside a "list tag", then it should just be the opening tag with a "/" before the closing bracket. The following tables contain all available tags, as well as their purpose and accepted values.

==Tags==
===Headers===

These tags typically bracket other tags, sometimes the entire file, and are generally used to specify more than one piece of data.

{| border="1" style="text-align:left" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"
|-
! style="background:#efefef;" | Tag Name
! style="background:#efefef;" | Description
|-
!ForceControlInfos
|This begins and ends the entire file. All instances of ForceControlInfo are contained within.
|-
!ForceControlInfo
|This contains the information for each multiplayer game option.
|}

===Text===

{| border="1" style="text-align:left" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"
|-
! style="background:#efefef;" | Tag Name
! style="background:#efefef;" | Description
|-
!Type
|The name of the multiplayer game option, prefixed by FORCECONTROL_. This is used internally by the game.
|-
!Description
|A text value referencing an entry in the Civ4GameText_Misc file. This controls the display name of the forced game option in various languages.
|-
!Help
|Another text value, explaining the purpose of this game option and its effect (e.g. it might disable the player's ability to change game settings).
|}

===Boolean===

All of these can either be 1 (on, or true) or 0 (off, or false). Be careful, as you can wind up with a double-negative, which the game will interpret as "True".

{| border="1" style="text-align:left" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"
|-
! style="background:#efefef;" | Tag Name
! style="background:#efefef;" | Description
|-
!bDefault
|In the standard, unedited file, all options have a value of 0. If 1, this option is enabled by default.
|}

==Example==

In the following example of code, please note that there is a specific order of all of the tags. You ''must'' list the tags in this order for the game to properly interpret your file.

<ForceControlInfos>
<ForceControlInfo>
<Type>FORCECONTROL_SPEED</Type>
<Description>TXT_KEY_FORCE_CONTROL_SPEED</Description>
<Help>TXT_KEY_FORCE_CONTROL_SPEED_HELP</Help>
<bDefault>0</bDefault>
</ForceControlInfo>
<ForceControlInfo>
<Type>FORCECONTROL_HANDICAP</Type>
<Description>TXT_KEY_FORCE_CONTROL_HANDICAP</Description>
<Help>TXT_KEY_FORCE_CONTROL_HANDICAP_HELP</Help>
<bDefault>0</bDefault>
</ForceControlInfo>
<ForceControlInfo>
<Type>FORCECONTROL_OPTIONS</Type>
<Description>TXT_KEY_FORCE_CONTROL_OPTIONS</Description>
<Help>TXT_KEY_FORCE_CONTROL_OPTIONS_HELP</Help>
<bDefault>0</bDefault>
</ForceControlInfo>
</ForceControlInfos>
