Hi,

I have a problem trying to create a new race for Entrenchment.

1st step - I picked a MOD for Entrenchment that I'm able to play and manipulate the notepad ship files. I choose the Star Trek Mod SoA_2_0.4.2E.

2nd step - Alter the different notepad files.

3rd step - I went to the Star Trek MOD, SoA_2_0.4.2E "GameInfo" folder and found the notepad files for the playerraces. I choose the notepad file "PlayerDominion".

4th step - I copied the "PlayerDomionion" file, renamed the new file as "PlayerDominionA" and pasted the file in the "GameInfo" folder.

5th step - I opend the new notepad file, "PlayerDominonA," and renamed the raceNameStringID "IDS_PLAYERRACENAME_DOM" file to "IDS_PLAYERNAME_DOMA"

**Remeber my goal is just to have the game recognize a new race. I would change the name and ship files later.

6th step -  Update the "String" folder to add the new player race. I found the English notepad file and searched for the string file I wanted to alter. I found:

StringInfo

ID "IDS_PLAYERRACENAME_DOM"

Value "Domnion"

The next thing I did was a copy and paste the new String Info for my new race.

SrtingInfo

ID "IDS_PLAYERRACE_DOMA"

Value "DominonA"

7th step - I then updated the sting file number. I added 1 additional file to the total number of string files.

8th step - I went back to the "GameInfo" folder to update the "GalaxyScenarioDef" file.

9th step - I searched and found the "playerType" file I wanted to change.

playerType

designName "DOM"

entityDefName "PlayerDominion"

copied and pasted the above playerType file and added the following:

designName "DOMA"

entityDefName "PlayerDominionA"

10th step - In the "GalaxyScenarioDef" file I updated the playerTypeCount and added 1. 

11th step - start the game Entrenchment.

PROBLEM - The game sees the original race file "PlayerDominion" but does not see the new race file I created "PlayerDominonA"

Any ideas on what I missed?
