Civ4ArtDefines Civilization

The Civ4ArtDefines_Civilization file defines the icon and flag for each Civilization.

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.

Tag Name	Description
CivilizationArtInfo	Main bracket which encases each entry.
Type	Tells which Civilization goes with the files

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".

Tag Name	Description
bWhiteFlag	Defines whether or not a flag will have a white background; if set to 0 it will use the civ's primary and secondary colors.

Art

These tags are directly related to the rendering of art for the entry.

Tag Name	Description
Button	World Builder Icon. ,path to icon,path to corresponding Atlas,#,# numbers are x,y location in the atlas.
Path	Path to the art file for the flag that the civilization uses.

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.

<CivilizationArtInfo>
   <Type>ART_DEF_CIVILIZATION_AMERICA</Type>
   <Button>,Art/Interface/Buttons/Civilizations/America.dds,Art/Interface/Button/Civics_Civilizations_Religions_Atlas.dds,1,5</Button>
   <Path>Art/Interface/TeamColor/FlagDECAL_Star.dds</Path>
   <bWhiteFlag>0</bWhiteFlag>
</CivilizationArtInfo>
