A little help needed

from GalCiv2 Forums
I'm just learning how to mod and have definitely hit the 'knows enough to be dangerous' stage.

GC II:DA. I was trying to substitute the Centauri Republic from B5 for the Altarians. Seemed natural enough. It seemed to work, except somehow the Drengin also show up as the Centauri. I tried to just reverse what I did and start over with the backup file I saved, but no luck. Aft4er some tinkering around, I even uninstalled the game, deleted the Gc2 directory, and reinstalled. And the Drengin still show as the Centauri. though the Race Config file clearly has them as the Drengin. And DL shows them as the Drengin. Where else might this have been changed?

If you play as a race, the settings it used at the time are saved as a .customracexml in My Documents\My Games\GC2DarkAvatar. Delete the appropriate one and it should return to normal.

Yes, fixed. Now I just need to figure out how to transfer over the ships. I have all the opening ships matching up properly. But as I research the tech tree none of the new hulls become available. Definitely a little trickier than I thought.

hmmmm, try makeing the ships in galciv2 ship editor then transfer the ShipCfg files over to the ShipCfg folder. i've never tried this but in theory it should work.

I'm currently trying to add in ships from the Centauri Republic. The individual ships are posted. The main trouble I've had is not all instructions for adding ships say if they are for DL or DA and I know there is a difference in how the two handle ships.

Luckily, I've found a few older posts that give a good idea where to start with this.
