Files necessary for new hull creation?

Posted on Sunday, May 24, 2015

Would greatly appreciate if anyone has info as to exactly which files need to be edited to create a new ship hull. I have tried the following files, but the new hull does not seem to appear in gaem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Using the append method, I have copied and renamed the following files, putting them into the following folder C:\Users\Mac\Documents\My Games\GalCiv3\Mods\GalaxyClassHullMod

ShipHullDefs.xml --> GalaxyClassHullDefs.xml

Code: xml
  1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes" ?>
  2. <ShipHullList
  3. xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  4. xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../Schema/ShipHullDefs.xsd">
  5. <!-- Created with the Gal Civ 3 Editor -->
  6. <!-- ShipHullDefs.xml -->
  9. <ShipHull>
  10. <InternalName>T_Galaxy_Hull_00</InternalName>
  11. <DisplayName>T_Galaxy_Hull_00_Name</DisplayName>
  12. <Description>T_Galaxy_Hull_00_Dec</Description>
  13. <ShipHullStatsName>Galaxy</ShipHullStatsName>
  14. <ArtDefine>TerranModel_118</ArtDefine>
  15. <Style>Terran</Style>
  16. </ShipHull>
  19. </ShipHullList>

In C:\Users\Mac\Documents\My Games\GalCiv3\Mods\GalaxyClassHullMod I copied and renamed the following files.

ShipHullStatText.xml --> GalaxyHullStatText.xml

ShipHullText.XML --> GalaxyHullText.XML

 

I did not know where to locate the enum files in the mod folder so I just edited the following file in the F:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Galactic Civilizations III\data\Schema

ShipHullTypes.xsd

Code: xml
  1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  3. <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  5. <xs:simpleType name="ShipHullTypes">

  8. <xs:enumeration value="Small"/>
  9. <xs:enumeration value="Medium"/>
  10. <xs:enumeration value="Large"/>
  11. <xs:enumeration value="Huge"/>
  12. <xs:enumeration value="Galaxy"/>
  13. <xs:enumeration value="Cargo"/>
  14. </xs:restriction>
  15. </xs:simpleType>
