Tech Tree Modding

Game Crashes

December 5, 2015 8:53:22 PM from Galactic Civilizations III ForumsGalactic Civilizations III Forums

Tried to make a custom tech tree.  Just wanted to change some names.  No new techs.  Made 3 new files and put them in a mod, TechSpecializationDefs.xml, TechDefs.xml, TechDefsText.xml.  Put the first two in the Game folder and the last one in an English folder.  Game crashed on starting and new game.  In a last effort put them into the regular game files.  Still crashed.  Redid the files a couple of times looking for errors.  Same thing.  Can a custom tech be created?  Is there more to it?

It's probably crashing because you are deleting content from the files(because you aren't using the append method) that other parts of the game call to. Don't ever change the files in the install directory, probably reinstall to fix that. The files in the mod directory need to have unique names or they overwrite the vanilla files.

They did have unique names pertaining to a custom faction.  Took the files out of the install directory.  Game working fine.
