Where are the "first colony" paragraphs stored? (DA)

August 19, 2008 5:56:09 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
I am attempting to find the file that contains the text that appears below the video that plays when you colonize your first planet. (You know, the one that, for humans talks about being trapped on earth for 1000s of years, yadah, yadah, yadah. It's different for every race.) I have looked in all the data files, but can't seem to find it. If you can figure out which text I'm talking about (which I realize isn't easy), and know where it is, please tell me the path starting @ the DarkAvatar main folder.

I think you’re looking for FlavorText.xml.

Starting from the Dark Avatar folder (DarkAvatar on my installation) go to Data and then to English. (DarkAvatar\Data\English)

After you open the file you can do a search for First_Time_Colonize to jump right to the text that I think you’re looking for.

Got 'em! If all goes well you may just see these paragraphs in my first posted mod. I'll leave this thread up in case anybody is looking for the same thing, however unlikely that may be.

Hmmm. That's odd. The Krynn, Korx and Korath paragraphs don't appear to be in the file. Granted, I haven't played as any of these races for a while, but I seem to remember the Krynn's speech as being different from any of the ones in there. (i.e. not just used by two different races)

Is it possible to remove that event? It never made sense to me that the first planet you colonize never ever got an event.

It is not possible to remove that dialog.
