How to change race name?

Post by opticlops »

This may be a stupid question, and it may be on a different topic, however I have not managed to find it. So, I was wondering how to change the race names i.e. Engi ---> Dalek (for my mod) etc. By this I don't mean starting name (that you can rename in hangar) but the actual defining race name :)

Cheers

You'll have to copy the Engi race data from the Blueprints.xml (or from here), paste it in your Blueprints.xml.append, then change the title and the short like I changed it to cheese and you may change other things as well here:

Code: Select all

<crewBlueprint name="engi">
	<desc>It's unclear if the 'Cheese' are partly organic or entirely soda, but it's well known that they make exceptional cows.</desc>
	<cost>50</cost>
	<bp>2</bp>
	<title>Cheese</title>
	<short>Cheese</short>
	<rarity>2</rarity>
	<powerList>
		<power>Repair speed is doubled</power>
		<power>Combat damage inflicted is halved</power>
	</powerList>
</crewBlueprint>

Did you copy the original or did you copy my example? Try adding 4 spaces to the second description line.
