bug Can't add formable description, and some formables doesn't show up

[Marerjh 281]

Hi

I wanted to add descriptions to the new formables on my map, but I can’t seem to do it. I’ve made sure path to the translation file is set to <mod>/languages/formable/bundle.properties, but it’s still not working.

  

The second issue is that formables aren’t displayed if their tag matches that of the claiming civilization. Here’s an example: I added a USSR formable for Russia, but it doesn’t appear. Because of this, I’m missing out on lots of interesting formables 😞

This can only be fixed by adding a separate civilisation specifically for the formable, but I’d really like to avoid that if possible. If there’s any other way, please let me know @Łukasz Jakowski

Use the default language file for the mod.

<mod>/languages/Bundle.properties

 

Create a new unique key in that file for the new description, exmaple:

MareRusC = Dsadaofjndsf description blasdasd

 

Then tell the game that the unique key MareRusC is the description for the formable.

 

<mod>/game/formableDescription/

Create a .txt file at that path named CIV_TAG.txt

 

So the file path will be

<mod>/game/formableDescription/rus.txt

and the file should contain only

MareRusC

This will tell the game that the key "MareRusC" is the unique key for that formable civilization’s description.

 

Test if it works.

In the current version of the game, you can’t use government-type tags, so you can only use rus.txt

I’ve already changed it so the game can read government tags like rus_c.txt, but this will be updated later along with the rest of the game.

Ah, I've completely missed the "formablesDescription" folder 😛
Thank you, it works! Solved

The game can now load a formable civilization with the same real tag as the civilization but with a different government.

The update will be available later.

Great! I hope this won’t cause issues with the descriptions, though. I noticed that in formable/Bundle.properties no government tags are specified, so I suspect that any Russian formable may end up being described as the Soviet Union
