Nevermind. I got it to work. It was either I had to copy the name/description, or my method of testing (Using the ingame-editor) that was faulty. When I adopted the policy without ingame editor it worked.

I have 4 lua files from your mod. Policies grant Buildings.lua, Policy_PGB_FreeBuildingClass_Table.lua, Policy_PGB_FreeBuildingClassCapital_Table.lua, and Policy_PGB_FreeBuildingClassCityState_Table.lua. I have set them all as InGameUIAddin in the content tab. All four are in a folder I called LUA.

I believe the problem must be how I arranged the folders? I don't have to import them into vhs do I? When I open your mod I see a folder called "Shared." Am I just supposed to import that into my mod?

Hello, Machiavelli. I am having difficulty incorporating this into my mod.

I have made sure to have the xml file, (PGB_TABLES.xml) update the database, and I also made it first. My mod just has 2 folders, xml and lua. PGB_TABLES.xml I have put in the xml folder.
I also put 2 GoldMerchant_Example.xml in this folder and had it update the database. The building shows up in game when spawning it with ingame editor, and I confirm that its effect works, however adopting entrepreneurship does not spawn it.

Yes

Does the Policy_PGB_FreeBuildingClass tag apply to cities that are founded after selecting the policy?

Thank you, BTW a friendly reminder, buidings granted by policies have ignored commands like prerequisite buildings (Building_ClassesNeededInCity), which makes me having a PGB in every city even w/o the prerequisite building, hope you may fix it if you have spare time ;)

The 3 examples are inserted into the table by a file not in the "Policies grant buildings" directory. Delete that file, or leave it behind when you copy the "Policies grant buildings" directory into your mod to disable them.

How can I deactivate the default three examples?

OK. Thanks for the reply!

Ender, if you want a building or unit that can not be constructed until a player has a specific policy you can use the "CanConstruct" and "CanTrain" lua functions. Just add a player.HasPolicy check if the building/unit is of the restricted class.

Very useful, thank you! Could you do a similar thing that (a) unlocks but does not grant new buildings and (b) does the same thing for units? Thank you!

Okay, thanks for your reply anyway :) I'll be using this code to buff up the Piety and Honor trees!

Steve, due to some different assumptions the game makes about social policies it would be trickier to make a traits->social policies framework. I can think of a few workaround that would minimize the framework messing up a normal social policy branch but I am not sure off hand if it would be possible to do it completely cleanly.

I'm a beginner modder, but could you do a similar thing for this to make traits be able to use social policy xml?

Reform & Rule is still my favorite out of all your mods. Thanks for sharing the love.

Looks great, thank you!

Thank you. Very valuable for a mod maker, thank you again for sharing it

Thanks for this. I may use it.
