Need help creating a custom Political Party.
GalCiv2 Forums
I want to set up a really cool game and I'm trying to create a custom Political Party for it, but I'm having a bit of trouble.
I went into the games directory files and found the PoliticalParties.xml file and opened that up for some editing. I basically copy-pasted one of the other parties and just edited everything that mattered. Here's what it looks like:
-<PoliticalParty InternalName="Communist">
<ID>8</ID>
<DisplayName>Communist</DisplayName>
<Description>Believing the government should control everything, the Communist Party is very effective, but lacks economic power.</Description>
<Model>gfx/Government/Communism.png</Model>
<OpposingParty>Technologists</OpposingParty>
<Bonus>6:20 27:15</Bonus>
<Penalty>4:-20 11:-20</Penalty>
<ColorRed>218</ColorRed>
<ColorGreen>135</ColorGreen>
<ColorBlue>27</ColorBlue>
</PoliticalParty>
edited in notepad, that was basically copy-pasted right below the Mercantile Party. Nothing else was changed in it. When I loaded up the game though, nothing happened. I couldn't find the Party anywhere. Just to make sure I was editing the right file, I changed the name of another political party already there and it didn't change anything again. Am I editing the wrong file or am I just the worst modder in existence? And what can I do to get this working? Thx!
P.S. I run the steam version of the game, so my main game directories are probably located a bit differently than yours might be, but I think everything inside them should be the same.
