That's right Pizza, I want them in the game as an opponent but to be removed from the united planets votes.

Remove a major race from the united planets in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Is there any way to remove one of the major races from the united planets? Either with the scenario file or race config?

Reply to GC2_Conversations.xml Dialog Priority Question in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I found out that the morality does not ALWAYS default to 1... It seems that if your custom race is evil you have to make their dialog morality 2 otherwise it defaults to generic morality 2. Same goes for very good races, they must be set to 0

Here is the race selection screen. None of this artwork is mine btw. So I started adding race to race entries into the conversations file... It's a small nightmare just working with a file that large. I might break down each topic into it's own file just to make debugging / troubleshooting easie

Hi again FoxThree, I've edited all the default races but didn't touch their . So from what you are saying there is no catch all for the main races? In other words if the Drengin make first contact with the Krynn using the default GC2_Conversations.xml, the dialog will be the generic speaker, generic listener because there is no listing for: 1 <Listener Name=

GC2_Conversations.xml Dialog Priority Question in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I'm running into an issue with the GC2_Conversations.xml that seems strange to me.

Example I changed the leader name to see if that had anything to do with my issue and when I loaded the game it was still set to the default leader name.

Thanks for the response Kryo, I actually found that tip in another t hread and went ahead and deleted everything in the folder except for my one saved game with no luck. I've continued to mess with the .bik files thinking it has something to do with the frame rates or number of frames but still can't get it to play in game. I'll try clearing that folder again when I get home.

Need help with .bik files for trade movies in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Good morning GC2 community, I've been working on a mod where I have started to customize the default races in the game. I've had no issues so far with still pictures in .PNG format but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong with my .BIK files. I have RAD Video Tools and have been converting an animated GIF to AVI and then Binking it to 430x280 with the cropping feature of RAD Tools. I then place them in the movie folder (the Twilight one, since I have TA) and
