Question on Moding Max Cap Ship Training Level

from Sins Forums

Can anyone point me to which files to edit to increase the max levels a cap ship can be trained up to. It used to be:

 

RESEARCHSUBJECT_CAPITALSHIP_MAXBUYLEVELPHASE0.entity

RESEARCHSUBJECT_CAPITALSHIP_MAXBUYLEVELPSI0.entity

RESEARCHSUBJECT_CAPITALSHIP_MAXBUYLEVELTECH0.entity

 

but when I edit them and put them in the:

..\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods\Race Mod \GameInfo

Dir the game crashes and does a dump, same with all my old mods.  It has been a while since I tried moding (ver 1.0) has the way the files are structured in the mod dir changed?  Or do they have to be bin files now?  Is there a new modset.pdf or is the 2/10/08 still the current one. New reference data files maybe?

That is the proper directory, and those are the proper files, but I think you may be using old versions of the files. I suggest grabbing the new files from Forge Tools download, assuming you have 1.05 installed, and edit them to your liking. If your trying to use even those files with 1.09 (1.1 beta) then yeah its prolly gonna break, we don't have a new set of files nor a converter to play with yet.

Yup that was it thanks. So we will have to redo all the edits every time they change the ver?

Probably not all. For files that didn't change, you shouldn't have to redo them.

You need ALL the files in there or it crashes.

So copy the games gameinfo in there first, then copy your changed files over the top.
