Naming all planets in your starting solar system

Can't get it to work

March 19, 2006 11:49:47 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Hey all,



I've been mucking about a bit with modding, trying to recreate the Vorlon Empire as my custom civ. I've changed the data in the RaceConfig.xml file and the CustomPlanets.xml file in my GalCiv2\Data\English folder, I've deleted the customconfig.xx files in the My Documents\My Games\Galciv2 folder, and pretty much all my changes work, except for the names of the star and of the other planets.



My primary planet gets named into Vorlon Prime, like I want, but the star and the other four planets that start are still being taken at random. Is that just a consequence of starting as the custom race? Or is there a way to force the game to change these names?



My Customplanets file looks like this (changed from the Custom Race specs[StarSystem Name="Vorlon Space"]
[Planet Name="Vorlon Prime"]
[Class]15[/Class]
[Moon]gfx/planets/m00.png[/Moon]
[PercentOfStarSize]0.50[/PercentOfStarSize]
[/Planet]
[Planet Name="Path To Beyond"]
[Class]10[/Class]
[PercentOfStarSize]0.40[/PercentOfStarSize]
[/Planet]
[Planet Name="Kosh's Memorial"]
[Class]10[/Class]
[PercentOfStarSize]0.15[/PercentOfStarSize]
[/Planet]
[Planet Name="Beacon Against Shadows"]
[Class]10[/Class]
[PercentOfStarSize]0.80[/PercentOfStarSize]
[/Planet]
[Planet Name="Gateway Of Order"]
[Class]10[/Class]
[PercentOfStarSize]0.60[/PercentOfStarSize]
[Rings]gfx/planets/r00.png[/Rings]
[/Planet]
[/StarSystem]My RaceConfig looks like this (Also adapted from the Custom Race)



<[Race Name="Vorlons"]
[DisplayName]Vorlon Empire[/DisplayName]
[Alignment]50[/Alignment]
[Description]The Vorlons are one of just two of the First One races left in the galaxy. They consider themselves the guardians of the younger races. Drawn to Law and Order, they firmly oppose chaos wherever they find it, through any means necessary.[/Description]
[Homeworld]Vorlon Prime[/Homeworld]
[Homestar]Vorlon Space[/Homestar]
[RaceLeader]Kosh Entigal[/RaceLeader]
[ShortEmpireName]Vorlon[/ShortEmpireName]
[Portrait]Gfx\Race\Race_custom.png[/Portrait]
[Logo]Gfx\Race\RaceLogo_Default.png[/Logo]
[SmallLogo]Gfx\Race\Small\RaceLogo1.png[/SmallLogo]
[DefaultTradePortrait]Gfx\Race\Race_custom.png[/DefaultTradePortrait]
[RaceColor]199,178,153[/RaceColor]
[ShadowColor]41, 0, 0[/ShadowColor]
[UndefendedStarColor]192, 64, 64[/UndefendedStarColor]
[DefendedStarColor]255, 128, 128[/DefendedStarColor]
[SectorColor]199,178,153[/SectorColor]
[BaseColor]255,255,255[/BaseColor]
[TrimColor]0,0,0[/TrimColor]
[EngineColor]0, 204, 255[/EngineColor]
[InterfaceColor]0,204,255[/InterfaceColor]etc



It just doesn't want to take my planet names however. The game will put me in a star system with star RandomName, and besides Vorlon Prime, I will have four other planets (sometimes even just three) with names RandomName2, RandomName 3, RandomName4, RandomName 5.



Does anyone have any tips on how I can get the game to accept my changes? I know that I can just colonize the planets and rename them, but I can't seem to rename the star, and it would be easier and more fun if the game just took the names right off the bat. The PQ does get set as I specified (I even changed it to 35 for all planets to check), but not the names. This seems weird.



Help?

Thanks in advance for any tips.

Ugh, let me give those codes another try :

RaceConfig :

{Race Name="Vorlons"}

{EngineColor}0, 204, 255{/EngineColor}
{InterfaceColor}0,204,255{/InterfaceColor}

CustomPlanets

{StarSystem Name="Vorlon Space"}
{Planet Name="Vorlon Prime"}
{Class}15{/Class}
{Moon}gfx/planets/m00.png{/Moon}
{PercentOfStarSize}0.50{/PercentOfStarSize}
{/Planet}
{Planet Name="Path To Beyond"}
{Class}10{/Class}
{PercentOfStarSize}0.40{/PercentOfStarSize}
{/Planet}
{Planet Name="Kosh's Memorial"}
{Class}10{/Class}
{PercentOfStarSize}0.15{/PercentOfStarSize}
{/Planet}
{Planet Name="Beacon Against Shadows"}
{Class}10{/Class}
{PercentOfStarSize}0.80{/PercentOfStarSize}
{/Planet}
{Planet Name="Gateway Of Order"}
{Class}10{/Class}
{PercentOfStarSize}0.60{/PercentOfStarSize}
{Rings}gfx/planets/r00.png{/Rings}
{/Planet}
{/StarSystem}

Hopefully that looks better.
