Unable to make changes

from GalCiv2 Forums

I am not sure what the issue is, so maybe someone more experienced and skilled can tell me what the problem is.  I edit a few things using the ship editor, and I have no problem with that.  When I actually run the game, my changes are not reflected in any of the stats.  I am wondering if it takes a few resets for the changes to be parsed or if there is a particular reason it isnt working.  Assistance would be nice.

Changes do not appear in saved games. The save files contain ALL of the information needed to make a game, INCLUDING all of the techs, races, and ship components. You will need to create a new game to make any mods show up.

I am wondering if I am changing the wrong file, cause I notice other folders that contain single player data items.

It is quite possible. Where, exactly are you putting them? Also, have you made sure to enable the apprpriate mod folder? I forgot to do that once, and didn't realize is for two days!

Im attempting to change the stuff in the Twilight expansion.  I figured it out.  In the ship editor, beside the size input box there is a box that says size mod.  What does that do?

It is the amount that the component size increases on larger hulls. Where spcifically are you putting the modified file?

You should not alter any file located in the TA install folder.

If you want to change something, aka mod s.th. , you should create a named modfolder within the Mods folder, if the mods folder does not exist create one with TA as parent folder.

 

If you want to dive more into modding, or want to study a quite complex race mod and how it is done,

you can download my custom race mod from the library ...
