Can you use GUI Mods with metaverse ?

from GalCiv2 Forums
Seems like enabling mods disables metaverse, but graphical mods really shouldn't do this. Am I wrong ? Can you mod the GUI and play a metaverse game? I really liked the example gui, and want to use it. Can it be separated out, and used for metaverse ?

A > Not easily!

To use the mod in a mv game you need to alter the graphical side of the actual game files, not the mod files. That said it is possible to do it and still post a mv game.

If you are going to change anything in the game directory please remember to backup the original first and if you change one of the .xml files remember you can only change the lines that are listed in the < ignore > (without spaces) section at the top of the file.
You can however change any of the image files without causing an anomalous score.

Hope that helps some

Well that sucks... thx for the answer. Are you sure the metaverse code wouldn't detect something was up, and mark it as a cheat ?

HEY STARDOCK, are their any plans for purely cosmetic metaverse friendly mods ?
