Changing from Yor to Thalan????

Can this be done?

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hi guys and Gals, just a quick question. I'm currently playing as Thalans and just got the large hull type, which upon seeing them reminded me of a very cool ship i built once as the Yor (all DA). Now they share the same hulls, so, is it possible to copy that ship from one to another? I have the ship saved as a template so it's just a hull. I looked in the Ships folder's XML and saw nothing that i thought would make a difference. I assume the change would need to be made in the SHIPCFG files? Are these moddable or hardcoded?

Thanks all

If you rename the prefix on the shipcfg file for your design to s99_ instead of whatever number it is now, it should become available to all races (though it may get all screwed up for races who don't have the same base hull).

Thankyou, will this work for a game already started, it's a MV game, or will appear once a new game has started.

Thanks alot Kyro

Probably won't work for a game in progress, as with most data changes.
