Robot Movie for Custom Race

every time i create a custom race i get the same robot movie...the only way to fix this is redo my whole race in xml or redo my entire race using a standard race and edit it...ive already made 13 races and dont have time to redo all of them..is there any quick xml fix i can do?

Do you mean the robot advisor? I am not entirely sure what you are refering to.

The New Eden mod changed it to the human scientist for all it's custom races. It's been done before, but I believe this requires you to make your race a mod. You could dig into that mod and see how he achieved it, or dig through the default race files to see where it specifies this.

The following 2 lines in FactionDefs.xml control which research adviser you see in the game.

<NewsRobotMovie_Approach>Terran_ResearchAdviser_Approach.bk2</NewsRobotMovie_Approach>
<NewsRobotMovie_Idle>Terran_ResearchAdviser_Idle.bk2</NewsRobotMovie_Idle>

 

Unfortunately I don't know of a way for you to change it with the in-game race designer.
