Beta3A - Loading Custom Race

Getting additional skills

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.

Yeah, loads abilities on top of what you have. Metaverse has to be the first thing you do I think, but the way to deal with it is to go into metaverse, load race, back out, select race again, and their abilities should fix. This may have been fixed in the beta 4 that just came out
