Beta3A - Loading Custom Race
Getting additional skills
from
GalCiv2 Forums
I have noticed that when loading a saved custom race the game "gives" me abilities that I had not selected. In the first case I saved the race after selecting everything but abilities. After clearing all of the abilities (so I had 10 points to spend) I still had a few abilities that you could not actually choose (like Loyalty + 25). I saved the race. Exited. Edited the file and dropped all of the abilities to 0. Loading that file (through new game -> choose custom race -> load) it "gave" me Logistics +6 and a couple of other things that were actually selectable abilities. I unselected the ones that I had not chosen (still had the logistics because it is not an option) and I spent my 10 points. Now, if I load the race the same way as above and goto the abilities tab, I show that I have -4 points. On load it gave me +10 to Military Production, Diplomacy and Social Production. I will try to include the raceconfig, but the xml may not show up. I can email it if necessary.
On a related note, if I select new game -> custom race and back out to the main menu the Metaverse button is "greyed out". This happens independant of loading a race or not, you just have to get to the screen.
Also, if you select to delete a custom race, the confirmation dialog says "Sting not found" with the yes and no options. Yes still deletes the race fine, but the dialog text is wrong.
