Forced Events

from GalCiv2 Forums
Are the events, such as finding Precursor ships, the radiation wormhole, etc. hardcoded and if not, what file are they in? Some of them, namely anything involving PreCursors, ruin the feel of total conversions set in universes which do not have PreCursors. On the other hand, I would like to implement events such as a rogue Shadow vessel being discovered in a B5 mod, for example. Any help in finding and altering these events would be appreciatted.

You must modify a file named 'Events.xml' , I think.

You could always open up English.str and change the texts for all of the events. For example change 'Precursor' to 'Shadow' in the event you mentioned or rewrite the whole text for it.

Do a search for [TABLEALIAS EventScreen] and you will find all of them.
I don't know if it's possible to add, change or remove events though.

Yes, you can mod them. I direct you to Cari-Elf's wonderful mod guide Link for information on how to make your own, or remove them.

I've read through that guide several times and I could not find a thing about forced events. Anomalies and Ethical Events, but not the forced events.

I will look into the file that was mentioned and I will see if they are present there.

Also, Events.xml is the file where all the ethics based events are, not the forced events.
