Problems creating custom opponents

from GalCiv2 Forums
This is a new issue for me... I don't know when this happened, it's worked for me before. But when i'm customizing my opponents i can no longer change the race's super ability, whether it's a custom GC2 race, or a purely new race, i still can change it. The arrows click fine, but the ability doesn't change. I can change my own custom race's super ability in the player race screen, but can't change anyone's super ability in the opponents screen.

Here's a video capture of what i'm talking about... don't worry, it's a zip file, only 418Kb. You'll need the Xvid MPEG4 codec to view it tho. Here it is.

Try creating a temporary folder in My Documents/My Games/GC2DarkAvatar called /temp
Move all of your .customrace files from My Documents/My Games/GC2DarkAvatar to My Documents/My Games/GC2DarkAvatar/temp

Then start up a new game, and see if you are able to change the super ability.  If you can, please zip up your .customrace files and send them to [email protected] so we can determine what happened.

Thank you.

I sent the email to [email protected] with a subject line of "[CodeCritter] - requested files - Custom Opponents Super Ability Bug". It has a RAR archive attachment (3.86MB) with all the files you requested, plus new vid clips of the symptoms as they appeared on my end as i removed the customrace files and what not. The email is from "[email protected]".
