I am able to mod Dark Alliance without issue, but when I try to apply changes to races as simple as renaming the leader it does not work. I've edited every RaceConfig.XML file on my system and the Terran Alliance leader is still shown without change.
I would just use DA, but I like to play non campaign mode games and after removing one AI player can't add him back or any new players to the game. I'm stuck with 3 AI opponents and a lot of empty AI boxes I can't do anything to.
I've got the download "gold" version and a lot of frustration trying to make a simple mod.
