Formatted campaign modeldb files for all campaigns - Kingdoms & Vanilla 1.5

The download includes the formatted modeldb files for all 4 Kingdoms campaigns as well as the basic (Vanilla) campaign. I have included the modeldb checker, adapted by me for these campaigns. The credit for the checker goes to Knight Errand, taken from here.

The modeldb files are taken from the latest versions.

Edit:
It appears the included americas modelDB file was faulty. Please use the new attachment. Note: the checker doesn't accept it, but it works.

Modifying the checker:
If you add factions not originally present then you will have to modify the checker to recognize them.
- Right click the file, choose 'Edit with IDLE'
- two files will open, close 'python shell
- in the other file scroll down until this section:

def isfactionname( string ) :
    if string == 'england' :
        return True

This is the section for the faction names. The end of this section should look similar to this (my version is already modified):

    elif string == 'georgia' :
        return True        
    elif string == 'seljuks' :
        return True        
    else :
        return False

    return False

Now simply copy two lines: the one starting with 'elif', and the one underneath it. Paste it under the last 'return True' line. Substitute the faction name with your new faction. It should now look like this:

    elif string == 'georgia' :
        return True        
    elif string == 'seljuks' :
        return True        
    elif string == 'my_new_faction_name' :
        return True        
    else :
        return False

    return False
