changing tech names

from GalCiv3 Forums

im hoping a modder can help me out i wanted to make some simple changes to the display names of the tech specialization's

im looking in the tech tree right now and i see this

<Tech>
<InternalName>YorIndustrialSpecialization1</InternalName>
<GenericName>IndustrialSpecialization1</GenericName>
<DisplayName>YorIndustrialSpecialization1_Name</DisplayName>
<TechTree>Yor_Tree</TechTree>
<ShortDescription>YorIndustrialSpecialization1_ShortDec</ShortDescription>
<Description>YorIndustrialSpecialization1_Dec</Description>
<ResearchCost>420</ResearchCost>
<TechPoints>1</TechPoints>
<Specialization>YorIndustrialSpecialization</Specialization>
<AICategoryWeight>

<Stats>
<EffectType>MaxManufacturing</EffectType>
<Scope>Global</Scope>
<Target>

</Stats>
<Prerequ>
<Techs>
<Option>CollectiveManufacturingTech</Option>
</Techs>
<TechAge>
<Option>AgeOfExpansion</Option>
</TechAge>
</Prerequ>
</Tech>

 

 

i would assume id change the 

<DisplayName>YorIndustrialSpecialization1_Name</DisplayName>

but this is not what it shows in game so i assume this is a list of where to pull the actual name from but i dont see anything else to change

anyone know what to change.

 

ultimately what im looking to do is add (*) or   (S)  simply an  S in front of all the specialization techs

The name will be stored in the text folder, in some yortechtext -ish xml file. It's pulling from the tagged text referenced in the display name line. But you can simply write text there instead - if it doesn't find that name as a reference, it treats it as the name string.

....Data/English Folder, you want the [FactionName]TechDefsText.xml's. Pick one (each faction has its own) search for Specialization, you want to edit the entry ending with _Name for each one:-

  <StringTable>
    <Label>BorgIndustrialSpecialization1_Name</Label>
    <String>Manufacturing Specialization (S)</String>
  </StringTable>

  <StringTable>
    <Label>BorgIndustrialSpecialization2_Name</Label>
    <String>Research Specialization (S)</String>
  </StringTable>

Ect Ect.

well i think its working looks good only done for the yor tree i dont intend to do this for any other trees at this time 

 

 

adds the prefix (**) to any specialization techs in the yor tree

since this does not directly change the tech tree it should be compatable with nearly any tech tree mod

So apparently after making this I hear that they actually added this in in game so it's mostly useless
