I made a new tech tree with the editor. but for my custom race (chosen/made in game) i cannot select it at the start game screen. i have been looking through the forums and in the data folder. what am i missing here?
how do you add a new tech tree to the drop down list?
edit: see posts below,
thanks!
also, how do you edit the particular values of... say... hyperwarp or something?
you could either put it in a new mod directory in galciv2/twilight/mods or in the galciv2/twilight/data/tech trees folder
i did that. it still does not show in the drop down menu.
i put it in both folders
works now... idk why
but the game crashes everytime you try to load a new game
edit 2: it was because i renamed a group in the editor... oops
have fun with your new tech tree
since i got you here... do you know how to edit the individual values of like, laser, or hyperwarp?
you can add civ-wide values but where are the individual?
thanks
edit: also, if they are not in the same location, how would i tweak the settings of trade routes? specifically, i want to scale up the amount made from them.
to edit ship modules (including weapons, engines etc.), you must edit the GC2types.xml
if you want to increase the amount made from trade routes, make techs that increase "TradeRoutesAbility"

yeah i see that. what about individual files? something akin to Sins, if you've played. any way to modify the weapons? create your own kind? increase the range?
if you want each weapon to be a separate file, you must make an xml file with this code:
save this file in the [your mod]\Data\ShipComponents folder. Give it the name of the weapon you're making and then write up the xml for the weapon in this file the same way you would in the GC2Types.xml
oh yeah, good stuff, thanks.
btw, is there a debug feature?
do you know if i can make an "all-inclusive" armor tech?
i mean, where it says:
<Class>A</Class>
can i do something like this:
<Defense Name="something"><Class>A</Class><Class>S</Class> <Class>PD</Class> <Size>15</Size> <SizeMod>10</SizeMod> <Cost>200</Cost> <Absorption>100</Absorption>
