Civilization VI ModArt & Dependency Builder

This skill enables you to compile and generate the crucial Mod.Art.xml configuration which Civilization VI uses to link database items with 3D art definitions, textures, and package XLPs.

Files in this Skill

build_modart.py: Python script to scan Artdefs and XLPs directories and output the asset consumer tree.

Usage

You can invoke the ModArt builder using Python on the user's system:

& "C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Nsight Compute 2025.4.0\host\target-windows-x64\python\bin\python.exe" "d:\Civilization_VI_mod\Civ-6-Documentation-main\.agents\skills\civ6_modart_builder\scripts\build_modart.py" --project-dir "/path/to/mod/project" --mod-name "<Name>" --mod-id "<GUID>"

Options

--project-dir: (Required) Path to mod project containing Artdefs and/or XLPs folders.
--mod-name: (Required) The name of the mod as defined in the .civ6proj or .modinfo file.
--mod-id: (Required) The UUID/GUID GUID key of the mod.

What it does

The script:

Scans Artdefs/ for .artdef files and extracts their internal <m_TemplateName> tags.
Scans XLPs/ for .xlp files and extracts their <m_ClassName> and <m_PackageName> tags.
Automatically computes the required loadsLibraries dependencies for each art consumer.
Generates a fully formatted Mod.Art.xml in the root of the specified project directory.
