Dread Lords Campaign under Dark Avatar

from GalCiv2 Forums
Aside from subtle play differences, would the Dread Lord campaing work properly if the files were copied into the Dark Avatar folder?

Yes, I've done it and it works fine.

The only issues are that the conversation files will not load, as the DL files use a number for each race, whereas DA uses a name. I've converted them and I can email them if you're interested.

Also, espionage won't be disabled by default as the tag will be missing, but its easy enough to add that one in to each file.

Can you email me the converted files? Including the espionage stuff?

Thanks

actually I think I figured out how to add the race names but I have no idea how to turn off the espionage or even if it is necessary to turn it off.


My only other concern is when I look at some of the DA campaign files, they are using "Korath" for race 13. But if I look at RaceConfig.xml, it says "Korath" is race 10, while "Akilians" are race-13. Which do I use for the DL campaign?

You can disable espionage by adding the line "DisableEspionage=1" to the [RULES] section of the mission scenario files (e.g. Escape.GC2SCENARIO).

No, its not strictly necessary, but bear in mind it is something that wasn't intended for the balance of the campaign.

As for the conversations, the Korath are not in the DL campaign, so thats nothing to do with the files I sent you.

Looking at the mission file though, it shows Korath as 10 and the Dreadlords as 13. I'm not sure about how that is ordered, but thats Stardocks business not mine...

It will work fine anyway, as it will just use a generic conversation text if it can't find the right one. I just did this to get the "right" text as was intended.
