The download is indeed free. You will need to download the Retail Update: v1.40X . Just download it anywhere and run it. It will update automatically. The update does a lot to the game, too many things to mention but one thing it does is add the mod folder.
Carbon UI is the Black UI. I think that is actually the only modded UI. However, for the DA version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Mod I hope to mod the UI.
As I said, you will need to get the update, which you can get here . Just make sure before you download it you have your serial number handy as you will need it. And thanks for downloading my mod .
Another guide for AsteroidFieldMiningBaseModules.xml added.
note to designer: allow that type of modding in the future. Hear hear .
I've just added guides for AbilityBonuses.xml and Anomalies.xml.
You will also need to update in order to use the mod folder.
Then, how are we to be assured that any xml programmer wont be able to manipulate meta scores? Because the XML files used when playing meta are in the MetaverseData folder and if anyone edits these files it causes a cheat flag.
I've got another update for the artificial planets mod pending if you please .
I've just released version 0.6 to the TBS Modder Mod DB and GalCiv2 library. This version adds DA compatibility and more interesting module names.
No mods, except a few grpahical ones, work with the metaverse, however if a small alteration to the game can be included at some point, I am trying to set up an independent metaverse that works with mods, possibly working with Kryo's AltMeta .
This, among other stuff, is included in the first bit of my DA XML reference guide . It also includes what the tags mean and the possible values for .
Oh, I thought somebody modded Kryo into the game when I read the title. He would make a great space monster, incinerating planets for bad behaviour, or in extreme cases banning an entire race from existence in the universe. Lol, I might make that .
You can also check out the tutorials on TBS Modder and ask any questions you want there as there are quite a few specific tutorials and a helpful and friendly community.
I'm sorry, but I don't think it's possible .
Well, if you have a way to play them, you can use MP3MyMP3 Recorder to record whilst you are playing them.
And make sure you back up the file before editing it.
I am writing some guides which will hopefully tell you what all the tags in the DA XML files do. Here are all the ones I've got ATM: RaceConfig AbilityBonuses Anomalies AsteroidFieldMiningBaseModules.xml <b
If you mean MP4, which is a video format, I would recommend downloading something like MP3MyMP3 Recorder , then playing the movie file and record the sound as an MP3.
Well, I suppose that getting rid of the techs for the governments would eliminate the usage of the present governments... the trick is finding out just how to establish my own and make them work. You cannot make your own governmets . We are stuck with the default ones. <img src="http://alt
So is this possible? Whilst you can change the names of the government types and the techs required, the bonuses and the number of governments are hardcoded.
I would imagine they do.
If you stuck, for example, a file called Race00.mp3 (or whatever it is) in the EventMusic folder in the mod folder, it will be used instead. Hope this helps, Macmatt.
To see the effects of a mod, you have to select that mod for use and start a new game. Hope this helps.
Nice ideas, though I fear the government systems are hardcoded. I like the idea of milestones.
