how do I get rid of a custom race? I want to play random opponets but with out my race coming up.
You can permanently remove your custom races by deleting the corresponding customracexml files from My Documents\My Games\GC2TwilightArnor.
Yeah, I was hoping that you could delete individual races. I have a couple that I don't want gone and one or two that I WOULD. Shame too because I like playing the random selection races and the ones I want to delete ALWAYS end up in the mix.
You guys don’t seem to get it, go to your “My Documetns” folder then “My Games” then the version of GC2 you race is on then delete the file for the custom or any save you made for the normal races to delete that and only that race.
And if that is not easy what are you doing with a computer.
And better yet, instead of deleting them, move the file or zip it in place incase oyu want to re-use that race later.
15 seconds of clicking and its gone. Next time just before you play GC2, just quickly delete the customrace.xml's that you don't want and when you choose your opponents the other races will not be there.
Hardly a hassle.
FROM IN GAME:
On the Race Creation Screen: Click the LOAD button
Select Race that you want to delete
Hit the DELETE button that is along the bottom (next to Save, Load, and Cancel)
Warning will come up saying "Are you sure you wish to delete this race?"
Click YES
Voila. and In game too. So no more complaining. Trust me, I just tried it with my "Stupid People" custom race, and it worked. Amazing.
Not directed at you 1dreamer, but if only it was that easy to delete stupid people from this world...
The races may also be created in the metaverse folder if you play that. Just something to know...
@LedZerggelin: I went and double-checked the folder itself after I hit the Delete button, and the custom race was most definitely gone.
If you want to add any custom races to a game that you are playing as a "custom race" you can go into the race file [ Your Race.raceconfigxml ] and edit the race ID number. The game will allow only one of each race in the game, so you will need to decide which race you'd like it to replace and change your race to that ID#.
Example: The dreadlords are race ID#13. In this raceconfigxml the custom race ID is #12. Now the Dreadlords are now a custom race and the same is true for the reverse function. If you change the race ID to #0 (0-11 regular races, 12 custom, 13 Dreadlords) they would be used in the terran slot.
