How do u make new races?
 

i was wondering,is it possible to copy one of the race files in legacy and change it to a different race? for example, i'll copy the feds, change it to Other, then change the race file n that other one../z needs some pointers plez

apppreciate the help pplz, thx

You can download the new races mod! It includes several new races!!!!

i did that 4 one of my copies of legacy/ really sickz mod. i was just wonderin if u could copy a race file and modify it for another race.
thx for the help gdata, appreciate it

i just re-modded my stl, with the race 2.1 mod, tal shiar, sect. 31, but everytime i try to start a skirm., the exception error comes up. wasn't there an issue with the tal shiar mod earlier on? i don't know what's causin the error. i had the courageous, luna and excalibur out for my fleet. help guyz?

In alot of the downloads the file's readme states "Don't forget to rename the db.pak". Where is this file at? I have two folders named "Db" and "DbHdrs". Are one of these the files the readme is referring to? Please help!:confused:

The Excalibur could be causing this did you install the fix?

Db.pak is a file not a folder in your Legacy directory. have a closer look. if its not there dont worry too much your game will work without it

Copying a race odf is not enough! You have to modifiy the file races.odf (\odf\other) and the file mulitplayer.xml (\ui)

Thanks, I was becoming concerned.

just incase your still unsure this what the db.pak file looks like

Ok, I'm certain I don't have that file. As long as some of these mods will work without it, I should be good. Thanks for the pointer.:cya:

without that file all mods should work

alrite, thx pplz

appreciate the helpz

I also have trouble with new races.

I have new races 2.1 installed and have tried deleting the db.pak file but whenever I try to load a skirmish only the 4 stock races are available for selection.
Sometimes the other races are selected for the AI races but it is usually the Vulcans or Section 31 and these both cause an Access Violation error whenever I try to load the game.

Any ideas anyone has would be great.

ps. I also have the myconfig.cfg file which forces Legacy to regenerate a db.pak file everytime the game loads anyway, so presence of db.pak shouldn't cause an issue anyway.
