Problems with GC2_Conversations.xml

Problems with GC2_Conversations.xml

Hello,

Firstly, I recently purchased Galactic Civilizations 2: Ultimate Bundle Pack, and I must say it is an excellent game.

I have tried my hand at a small amount of modding. Firstly, I made my races as custom races within the game, and then tweaked them a bit with an external program (TextPad). They worked fine.

I decided then to start making new conversations for them, but that's where I'm having trouble. When I placed GC2_Conversations.xml in the Default mod folder in 'Twilight\Mods\Default\Data' (which was already selected in-game for my custom diplomacy music) initially, I could not load or start a new game, since it crashed with a Windows error when it finished loading.

So I patched up my GC2_Conversations.xml so that (as far as I know) there are no ID conflicts for each race, and that everything is in the right order. I was now able to load games without a error, but since my dialogue (as far as I know) didn't show up I assume the new conversations do not take effect in a loaded game. So I tried to start a new game, but this time it crashed with a (different) error, a Runtime one that says that the game executable tried to terminate itself unusually.

Unfortunately, since these errors do not explain what is actually happening, I am unsure as to how to proceed. However, I have hypothesised these theories as to why it isn't working:
- There are too many races defined in GC2_Conversations.xml (I have 28, which includes Generic, and the ship names for the Dread Lords)
- There are too many phrases defined in GC2_Conversations.xml
- GalCiv2 doesn't handle GC2_Conversations.xml well in mod folders.

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I will attach the contents of my debug.err file (which was created when I got the Runtime error):

I aplogise for the large bump and the triple post, but I thought this was important. :S

After updating to the newest version GalCiv2 no longer crashes with my custom GC2_Conversations.xml file, as far as I know. I only tried it once, and the greeting message I got from the first race I contacted was wrong, but at least it is now working and reading the new entries.

I'll need to do more testing, though, I'll let you know how everything goes.
