Help with Objectives on a friend's mod

Zealossus

Hello,

A friend of mine has created a mod of a fantasy world of their creation. We are trying to figure out how to see the "Objectives" Tab and add objectives to it. I've spend an exorbitant amount of time trying to figure it out and I am dumb. The mod is fully functional and we are testing the "balance" in various game runs, but we just can't wrap our heads around Objectives currently. I will say I haven't tested to see if they even work, but without the Objectives tab there's no way for the players to see it visually so I wanted that fixed first. I've looked on the forums here and seen about naming conventions with the map.yml file matching mapName in the game xml file. I've tested both with and without underscores in the name within the objective properties file to no avail. I sourced from other mods to see what their code says and nothing seems to line up simply. I even went from the current stable 2.5 version to the current 2.7 version as of today, 5/5/26. I just can't figure it out. I'm uploading the current iteration of the mod that functions, including the nonfunctioning objectives properties file and objectives in the game xml file.

Friend's Mod

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Bravo, on your mod!
It looks good.

You were so close to getting it to work

.
From what I remember, as Im not a fan of Objectives, as the AI does not understand them.

.
In the xml, removed the apostrophe

<info name="Fading Light of Vlandriel" version="1.0"/>

.
In map.yml removed the apostrophe and put quotes around the map name

- {game_name: "Fading Light of Vlandriel", file_name: fadinglightofvlandriel.xml}

.
In objectives.properties note the # comments, xml info name with _ replacing spaces

# Fading Light of Vlandriel
# xml info name with _ replacing spaces
Objectives.Panel.Name=Objectives
