Example, if I wanted the Asari and the Elcor in my Mass Effect mod to have a high likelihood of starting near each other. Is there a way to do that?

Well, if you got two factions with the same internal name then it would give you that message. In general you should always give them a different internal name, think of it as a unique identifier.

[quote who="Lord_Proteus" reply="9" id="3557500"] Quoting Sorentoft, reply 8 Do you have any suggestions regarding the Hanar and their logo? Maybe the Drell as well? I would love to add them, but I refrained from doing so due to the logo situation. Also added installation instructions! <b

It would be a lot easier to see what you are doing wrong if you uploaded your code. Then we don't have to guess! [e digicons]:D[/e]

[quote who="JP193" reply="4" id="3557266"] Damn, you beat me by HOURS. Had to finish the Quarian ships. Anyway, if I can get the factions working I'm sure I'll enjoy them! EDIT: I think I'm going to try and specialise my mod. The conversion mod is fleshed out but it doesn't make sense as an integration. Yours is very realistic and good, but I'll have to make little tweaks to my own so nobody is outright competing/copying :3<br /

[quote who="econundrum1" reply="7" id="3555754"] Yes some of these look like pretty good ideas, I shall check them out. Thanks for these. [/quote] Thanks and you're welcome. :) Also added the mass effect races I just made.

Info I wanted to get some experience at making races for Galactic Civ 3 so I made the following Mass Effect races: Asari Turian Salarian Krogan Batarian Quarian Geth Elcor Volus You can get them here. Currently they are very basic and

Neat idea. Added it to my personal library of races. :)

[quote who="VanTrellen" reply="5" id="3555687"] Well, thanks for the reply, I just thought it was strange that in un-modded games planets could be worked with soil-enhancement while when modded all my planets couldn't. I'll try going further to see if things change. Cheers. [/quote] It's not strange because I significant increased the threshold for how much land the soil enhancement can terraform. I did this simply because I want a bit of pacing with the terrafor

[quote who="VanTrellen" reply="3" id="3555412"] I was trying the "Terraform More" mod but, after installing it , I cannot seem create any new tiles (after unlocking the first terraforming research and try to build the "soil enhancement"), and yes, I tried on a new game...it doesn't work. Any tip on how this actually works? [/quote] It'll only work on planets with an actual tile available for terraforming. The first terrafor

[quote who="Achillus" reply="8" id="3554479"] Couldn't you edit the base files in the game directory itself to create an .xml race without having mod enabled? Not sure why you would want that since it can screw up the game without having a way to reverse it. I mean outside of just uninstalling and reinstalling the game. [/quote] You can do that, yes. And you can just make Steam verify the game files, much quicker than a full reinstall.

[quote who="James009D" reply="6" id="3554348"] I'm curious if a .XML race works without enabling mods, please keep us posted if you have success. [/quote] They don't since they are mods.

Sometimes you don't need a background at all for pictures. With the one Starchaser posted I certainly wouldn't bother deleting the surrounding picture, it just looks... off. Also I suggest using Paint.Net for it. It's a neat program.

[quote who="AzraeldeBaphuon" reply="9" id="3553380"] Quoting Sorentoft, reply 8 Alright, so. I looked at it and got it to work. From what I can see then the error you made was in the snippet: ProtossMapColors <

Alright, so. I looked at it and got it to work. From what I can see then the error you made was in the snippet: [quote] ProtossMapColors [/quote] Without a map colour defined with that actual name then the game will crash. :) Also for some reason your planets show as 'dead', I am not sure why, but I fixed it by changing them to use generic art.

Going to give this a look as soon as I get home.

It would help a lot if you showed the code, otherwise people here can only make guesses.

[quote who="WiFiDi" reply="9" id="3553108"] thanks for submitting them i don't know if im gonna change the setup even more but i think im leaning to changing up the format to rely on your shocase threads [/quote] Yeah, that's probably a good idea. Then we can give a little description on what we have got there instead. :)

[quote who="Orion03" reply="2" id="3553237"] I wish we had the ability to say: " no your trade sucks but how about this new trade of xyz" [/quote] On that note. I wish we had an ability to say "Stop asking me for shit and make me a trade instead" to those beggars and of course "Stop threatening me or I will glass your planets".

That's because the factions are saved as a .faction file. It is extremely inconvenient. If you want to mod in a faction yourself then I suggest you take a look at a few of the faction mods on this forum.

Here's the changes I made to the huge map size: [quote] Huge 0 150 356 &nbs

That's not exactly true, I think. I'm pretty sure defines the size of the map, on the sides if I have understood it correctly. But I might be wrong on this one as I also increased hex sector size when creating my custom map size.

Here's my current mods: Category: Factions Minor civilizations are weaker major civilizations This is a simple mod that slightly boosts the minor civilizations already in the game and makes them into major nations. They are still weaker than the actual major civilizations. This mod is good for big maps where you want a bit more civilizations on the map. GalCiv3 Showcase T
