Mods have no effect?

from GalCiv3 Forums

Would appreciate any help you guys have but I can't seem to get any mods working for GC3 Crusade.

 

I have followed all the instructions in the readme, created a mod folder under "my games/GC3Crusade/Mods/MyMod/*", enabled mods in game, and dragged in two original game files to test with (RaceTraitsDef.xml and TerranTechDefs.xml).

 

I noticed that my changes are not having any effect in game. For example, I messed with the stats of various racial traits and changed the 1st level of Logistics tech to give +13 instead of +10. These were simple changes that could be quickly verified by starting a new game.

However, none of my changes are making it into the game. What is going on?

 

Side question: What tech tree do I need to modify to give custom races a custom tech tree? Or do all custom races share a single tech tree, if so, which file is it?

 

Thanks!

Thanks,

 

Mods work now after verifying game integrity and turning off my Avast AV, apparently there was some invisible conflict... very odd.

 

I have to start a new game to see any effects right? So I cannot mod stuff on the fly?

Nope, new games only, xml data is stored within the game save.
