Using custom opponent as custom race?

Sorry if old question, but how?

from GalCiv2 Forums
Okay, recently, I created a custom opponent that I wanted to use as an opponent in my Krynn game. This game is still undergoing play.

However, I'm nearly finished, and I want to use this race as a custom 'player' race- i.e., as my race. Now, I know that creating a custom species to play as adds it to the list of opponents. However, it would be a lot simpler if there was a quick way of doing the other transfer.

Any files I need to manipulate, or buttons to use- or should I just start jotting down attributes and copying?

Have a look at your Dark Avatar directory under 'My Games'. Any modified races (both player and AI) should be saved there, as .xml files. Those are also the files you need to edit if you want to change descriptions, names, etc. outside of the game.

all you have to do is when you start a new game, select Custom Race, then on that screen select Load Race at the bottom tool panel; your custom race should be listed.

Thanks a lot. I thought that 'Load' button only loaded already made custom 'races' not opponents.

Looking forward to enjoying my new game.
