Custom Faction Ability/Trait Points

April 13, 2018 11:52:23 PM from Galactic Civilizations III ForumsGalactic Civilizations III Forums

I tried adding custom race ability and trait points, but it doesn't seem to take.  Mods are enabled, and I even tried also changing the core files in the original download, Crusade, and Intrigue.  Did these get hardcoded?

No.  I mod it all the time. It's just be the global defs file...

Make sure to use the new intrigue copy.

Nope, that isn't working.  I haven't been able to adjust this by any means since the Intrigue install.

I haven't had any issues... you might want to cleanse and reinstall

Precisely where are you altering the ability amount in GalCivDefs?

GalCiv3GlobalDefs.xml

<CustomFactionTraitPoints>5</CustomFactionTraitPoints>

    <CustomFactionAbilityPoints>2</CustomFactionAbilityPoints>

I initially just put an updated file in the Mods folder, when that didn't work I updated the Core file in Intrigue. When THAT didn't work I updated the Core files in Crusade and the main GC3 download.

 

I have since reverted all 3 Core Files, only have the modded file in my Mods folder.

These were the same parameters that I changed with Crusade.

I am seeing SOME changes show, but others don't.   It's just weird.

OK I ran in to this ,,, weather this is right or wrong I had to mod in the last two exp packs and in my mod files too. it did not work till I modded the last exp pack  this EXP3_Intrigue even tho we are suppose to have to only change the ones in EXP2_Crusade ,, it did not work,

I,m not saying this is right i,m just saying this is what I had to do.
