Mod questions, techs, values etc...

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>
