Customization Points

from GalCiv2 Forums

Quick question from a modding noob: I'm trying to add several races into the game without having them replace any of the major races on the civ select screen. So I create a bunch of custom races, and then edit their corresponding files in My Documents/My Games/GC2TwilightArnor folder. I manage to successfully edit their descriptions and race bonuses, but since I've given them some inherent bonuses and penalties already, is there a way to drop the available customization points from 15 to 10? The My Documents race files do not have a line for modding customization points, and I've tried changing the value of Custom Races in the RaceConfig file from 15 to 10, but that didn't affect the in-game value.

Any help will be appreciated!

EDIT: Please ignore, I managed to solve the problem. For some reason my game was installed in two separate locations, and I was editing the wrong folder all along. </n00b>

...but while I'm here, if I want to create a whole bunch of new races that don't replace the in-game ones, I can just create them as custom races and mod their files from the My Documents directory, right? Thanks :)

Yeah, you can totally do that.

Please sir, enlighten me.  Did you change the points for all Custom Races, or did you find out how to change points for specific custom races?  I tried adding a CustomizationPoints tag to the MyGames documents, but it didn't do anything.

Just the first one. I'm still trying to figure out how to change them for specific custom races but short of changing the points every time I play a different custom race I haven't found a way.
