Has anyone written a walkthrough for the GalCiv writer? It looks like I've installed in correctly, but I don't know how to get the changes I've made to show up in my games, even ones I've started from scratch after making the changes.

(And yes, I remembered to turn mods on in GalCiv's option menu.)

If you're talking about techs here, you won't see them in the research screen if they have no tech following. They'll just appear when they're available.

Do you mean a special type of mod (e.g. ships, techs, polparties,...) or all your mods?

The only mods I've made so far are ships and the techs to build them. Just to see if it would work, I made the only prerequisite tech for the new tech I added was weapons theory. I researched weapons theory, but my new tech didn't show up in the list of techs I can research.

Have you perhaps set an Alignment value (good/evil). If you're still neutral the techs won't show up.

If you have techs with a cost of 0 or 1, they won't appear in the game, too.

After tinkering around, I think I've figured out what I need to do.

GalCiv writer creates files in the galciv\data folder, and they start with the two letters 'my', like mytechs.tech and myships.ship

If I move these files to the galciv\mods\data folder, they seem to work.

Still, someone should write up a GalCiv writer walkthrough.
Hey! Why are you looking at me like that?
