I subscribed to a mod that I think I can improve on and make better than it already is. I want to recreate the tech trees in the civilization builder and recreate the mod so it will be to my liking. I don’t plan on publishing it, it will just be for my enjoyment of the game.
However, this mod causes the game to crash frequently. It’s very hard to browse through the tech trees without it crashing. Just selecting the data mod in the skirmish menu takes forever to load. What I really want to do is open the individual .json files instead of recreating them from scratch. All i can find in the files is civilizations.json, civilizations.jsonu, and civtechtrees.json. I tried opening it in the civilization builder but nothing happens. I think i would need and individual civilization file such as chinese.json instead of civilizations.json. There is no way for me to extract one from this file. I wanted to use open it with express zip, but all it says is compress.
How can i extract these tech tree files and edit them and why do these mods crash so much that i can hardly view them? I really hope there is some way to improve this.
