Can't figure out what i've done wrong

from GalCiv2 Forums
Ok I have made a custome race and i can't seem to get my custom solar system to work correctly.

I the system to semi work but not fully. i get the right values for all the planets but not thier correct names and I get 3 asteroids not four. So what is going wrong? Obviously its reading this as the planet because its giving me the two planets a lvl 8 with the home world a ring and the sister planet a moon so I've got the right name in the customrace file. (If you get my meaning.) Help please.

< DisplayName > Celairmir

Shouldn't there be a < /DisplayName > after Celaimir???


One is missing both beginning and ending tags.
This one is correct:
< Rings > gfx/planets/r00.png < /Rings >
This one is not:
gfx/planets/r00.png


A little more attention to detail is required for a successful mod.

The < /displayName > is actually in the file i accidently missed putting in the spaces or i deleted it when I was putting in the spaces one or the other. But things are not working even with the < ring > and < /ring > fixes.

I'm going to run an experiment. And post the results.

i'm going to copy the sol system with its name and planets,cut and past it upon the current modded system and see if i can't get the names to show up.

Everything else works. I've added and subtracted planets sizes and to make sure I have the right system and everything works on that end its just the names I can't get to work.

Ok even that didn't work. I think I might have corrucpted the very tail end of this file in terms of format. So I'm going to try starting fresh again with the back up and see if I can get things to work from there.

Thanks for the help though.

Thanks moosetek. I got it to work after starting freah from a back up. What ever i did was working in an odd manner because even when i cut and pasted the Sol system and just changed the names of sol and earth I would get the solar system with the earth template and mars ect. But the names would NOT be right just the standard default names. But now everything is working.

Attention to detail is critical indeed.
