Modding GC2 Ultimate...where do I put the files?

from GalCiv2 Forums

Its my first time modding and I'm lost on where to put the files.

All I have right now is the PlanetImprovements file with my alterations. What do I do from here, do I need additional files, and where do I put them? I've read the basic modding guide but its a little different with GC2 Ultimate and so far no luck in getting the mod to show up.

look in your default DL mods folder and their should be a folder named "default." copy that folder to whichever mod directory you are using (DL/mods, DA/mods, TA/mods) and rename it to whatever you want your mod to be called. then within that folder there is a file called "ModDescription.xml". Open it in notepad and change these 2 values:

Code: xml
  1.     <Mod Name="[YOUR MOD NAME HERE">
  2.         <Description>[DESCRIPTION OF YOUR MOD]</Description>

Then copy you edited "planetimprovements.xml" to one of two places. if it totally replaces the original planet improvements.xml, then put it in your "[your mod's directory]\Data." If it just adds new improvements to the original planetimprovements.xml, then put it in "[your mod's directory]\Data\PlanetImprovements."

 

have fun modding!
