[quote]how to add different race specific technologies to other tech trees most specifically[/quote] What do you mean? If you want a "shared" tech you will have to define it in a Techtree.xml file located in ..Twilight\Mods\Modname\Data or ..Twilight\Mods\Modname\Data\Tech with filename of your likening for adding to default techtree If you want to add racespecific techs you will have to define xml files in ..Twilight\Mods\Modname\Data\Techtrees

My edit posting has gone... again Yes, I'm still tweaking tcs but v1.9a will be up later, v1.9b will just improve gfx stuff and probably tweaks to xmls. The mod is approaching completion-- contentwise

Reply to Help locate entry for Starbase HitPoints in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Starbases are considered by the game as a special sort of ship, hence defined in GC2Ships.xml and the appropiate shipcfg . SB use LargeHulls as class and get therefore HitPoints of a eg Battleship, defined in GC2Types.xml. Hope that helps :)

Reply to Modding TA Improvements--question @ cari in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

To specify my trouble, I need to have the same PI but with different tech_requirement. If I have any temple in my PIs, just altered the requirement and icon, then it shows up in my techtree, however cheating to get playing as terrans shows terran techtree with original temple. That is ok, but if I build 'my' temple() then the terrans are still able to build 'their' temple. This is a bit confusing, since it is still the same PI, S_internalname is same :NOTSURE: So my conclusion, the g

Modding TA Improvements--question @ cari in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

If I was to create eg. a TempleOfNeutrality, but I want to just change the displayname, a question appears... How do I manage to let the PI be a shared Improvement, which can be build by every race? Actually, if I rename the S_InternalName to say LodgeOfEquilibrium, then the PI is buildable, however if I or the AI builds the TempleOfNeutrality it is still accessible by everyone, hence the GA limit of 1 does not apply, since it does not seem to be the 'same' building. I would basi

Reply to Can I run more than one mod at the same time? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Copy all the content from both folders into one single folder. If xml files are conflicting, you need to merge them. There is a free tool called [link="http://winmerge.org/"]winmerge[/link] to do that quickly.

Reply to TA Custom Race Mod 1.9a in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I hate to say, but the starport is something which can't be overridden. Either for all races or not altered at all. For Civcapital/Initialcolony, EcoCapital and some other "shared" PI having key tech_requirements assigned :( ,I might alter all their requirement, to make it possible. But the tricky thing is, I would have to find closest possible techs, which are shared by all races, except asa. @Nasty The rm_release.bat cleans up the gfx folder. It's just for relea

@Zyx The screens.str hopefully solves the prefs.ini mystery. Meanwhile I think, the ini file pulls some of its values from screens.str. I altered the custom race section and tested. All seems to work out properly now :)

Generally, the whole icon stuff has not been finally decided yet, since I don't know how many unique icons will be made :

I like it, but it probably won't be the civcapital. I need some testing with initial colony and civcapital PI again.
