OK, here's what I've done for a mod in TA:

• Create a custom race techtree in the normal TA directory, simply copied the minor techtree
• Create a new mod folder "custom race" with the following updates:
  • updated custom race techtree
  • updated planet improvements & starbase modules for new techs
  • updated raceconfig so the custom race points to the custom race techtree

OK, no problem.  I have a custom race that I've played a bunch of games.  Every time I start a new game, the same version of my custom race is available.  Same tech picks, same colors, same flag, same name & description.

Yay.

OK, here's where I'm boned.

I try to modify the custom race techtree, but the modifications don't stick.  I start a new game, it still has the old version.  I try disabling and re-enabling the mod, it still has the old version.  I try moving in a completely different techtree (like Thalan) as the custom techtree, it still has the old version.  I try renaming the mod directory and pointing the game to the new directory, it still has the old version.

How do I get the game to forget my configuration and re-read from my designated MOD directory?

Thanks!
