Would you consider making a version for the overhaul mod "Population Rebalance"? Or a compatibility patch?

So I'm not sure if I've done something wrong but I don't seem to be able to use four abilities in custom empires.

OH PS:

1) That submarine spaceship set is well underway. 

2) I'm starting to create some new race abilities for fun. For example, one is intended to give a great bonus to weapons/etc. but make diplomacy virtually impossible... still working on how to do it though. 

Another ability is "Nomad"

• +30% ship range
• -50% Shipyard Decay
• +4 Moves (5 total) to Shipyards
• -1 Diplomatic Penalty to shared borders... meaning its worse diplomacy for your neighbors
• Immune to Nebulas

Furthermore, I'm thinking this ability will unlock a special piece of equipment... it will be barely fit-able to a Cargo Hull, will reduce HP by a percent (so if you use it on a Huge Hull, its going to be severely weaker than a normal Huge Hull), annnnddddd it will generate a fixed amount of Credits per turn.

The idea here, is so that you could potentially build your income in a fleet, instead of colonizing planets. Whether it works well or is very smart... who knows? But I thought it might be fun. 

Good ideas there! I'll definitely look at those too!

• Thanks for bringing up the Orion, I'll look at them.
• For what you need to change in Pop rebalance... find the GlobalDefs file, do a find command and search "CustomRace" eventually you'll find a line that is something like "Custom Race Traits>2<etc.
• Change the 2 to 4

Yeah its actually super simple... I just don't have access to the file right now to tell you what its listed as exactly.

Pop to Production value is close to the top of the file I think and is also super simple. They basically just went from .5 to 1 and maybe should've done .75

Maybe I'am doing it wrong, but I did a find command in PopRebalance\PopRebalance\Game\GalCiv3GlobalDefs.xml for "CustomRace" and came up with nothing. However i found these 2 lines:

<CustomFactionTraitPoints>5</CustomFactionTraitPoints> 

<CustomFactionAbilityPoints>2</CustomFactionAbilityPoints>

Do i change the bottom line's 2 to 4 to make Population Rebalance compatible with GRM? Also do I change the 1.0 to .75 in one or both of these lines:

<PopulationToProductionExponent>1.0</PopulationToProductionExponent><PopulationToProductionMultiplier>1.0</PopulationToProductionMultiplier>

 Thanks for the reply Gauntlet03. I made a edit to my earlier post you may not have noticed. I asked:

Also do I change the 1.0 to .75 in one or both of these lines?:

<PopulationToProductionExponent>1.0</PopulationToProductionExponent><PopulationToProductionMultiplier>1.0</PopulationToProductionMultiplier>

Furthermore, this may also be of use to Rolepgeek. I asked Franky999, or Franky007 as he's know at Nexus, about using these said two most essential mods together he had this to say:

" There is at least 2 files in conflicts: FactionDefs.xml and GalCiv3GlobalDefs.xml

I am not sure which mod will take effect first."

And this:

"You could try:
Remove this folder from my mod:Old-Spiders Pirate Mod For Crusade
Delete the file GalCiv3GlobalDefs.xml from the Gauntlet mod (in mods/grm/game)"

So OSPM will also conflict.  Comparing the two mods the file "FactionDefs.xml" is in both "PopRebalance\Old-Spiders Pirate Mod\Game" and "GRM 7.0\For Your  My Games\Mods\GRM\Game\" Thats all I can find. There's a bunch of differences between the two similar files. Idealy I would like to keep as much from both mods as possible without too much conflict, may not be posible though. Which mod has more content\mechanics\additions for pirates? Probaly best to just get rid of OSPM... or? If OSPM has more stuff, GRM cosmetic changes added would be best.   

Iam assuming the mods load in counter-alphabetical order (P)opRebalance loaded over (G)RM so (O)ld Spiders Pirate would probaly load over (G)RM.

PS: Also in an unrelated file... I've added three minor races that represent pirates and are "at war with all". SO they are each separate pirate factions technically. This is completely separate from the game's standard pirates.

Has the ideology mod been updated to 2.7 as well?

For me?? How sweet, bug fixes. Wasn't sure if it broke anything so had to ask  

I've only done it to an ability... here is how the entry looks:

    <Mod>

      <EffectType>MovesCap</EffectType>

      <Scope>Global</Scope>

      <Target>

        <TargetType>Shipyard</TargetType>

      </Target>

      <BonusType>Flat</BonusType>

      <Value>4</Value>

    </Mod>

The important part being that Shipyard's are valid targets for bonuses and the Flat bonus of 4 = 4 moves in addition to its base move of 1.

Ah, didn't realize that command could be used with a shipyard, that is handy.

Thank you very much!
