Civ4ArtDefines Bonus
The Civ4ArtDefines_Bonus file declares all the art files, and art properties, for each of the resources.
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 |
|---|---|
| BonusArtInfo | Main bracket for each entry. |
| Type | Label that is used throughout all other XML files. |
Art
These tags are directly related to the rendering of art for the entry.
