"Dense" Race Trait Doesn't Give Bonus

from GalCiv3 Forums

Right now, the "Dense" race trait does not actually give extra mass to use on ships.  The reason is that the 4 versions of the trait are currently written like this:

<RaceTrait>
<InternalName>Dense1</InternalName>
<DisplayName>Dense1_Name</DisplayName>
<Description>Dense1_Desc</Description>
<Mod>
<EffectType>MassCap</EffectType>
<Scope>Global</Scope>
<Target>
<TargetType>Colony</TargetType>
</Target>
<BonusType>Multiplier</BonusType>
<Value>0.25</Value>
</Mod>
</RaceTrait>

 

When they should be written like this:

<RaceTrait>
<InternalName>Dense1</InternalName>
<DisplayName>Dense1_Name</DisplayName>
<Description>Dense1_Desc</Description>
<Mod>
<EffectType>MassCap</EffectType>
<Scope>Global</Scope>
<Target>
<TargetType>Ship</TargetType>
</Target>
<BonusType>Multiplier</BonusType>
<Value>0.25</Value>
</Mod>
</RaceTrait>

Once I made that correction to TargetType, the trait worked fine.

Damn it, I had made a race with this quality yesterday.

Oh well, I'm sure it'll be fixed soon enough.

Seeking advice on how to actually fix this.

As my first attempt at a mod/fix in GC3m I ...

  • Copied the RaceTraitDefs.XML file to \Documents\My Games\GalCiv3\Mods\Game
  • Modified the Dense traits to change <TargetType>Colony</TargetType> to <TargetType>Ship</TargetType>
  • Launch game
  • Create a race with the top end Dense trait
  • Start game
  • Look at Ship Designer, Dense does not seem to be applied?

I just made the changes directly to the XML in the game folder, and a new game started with a dense-trait race did have the trait applied in the ship designer.

You must create a new game with a race that has the trait. Loading an old game before the change won't do it.
