FactionOverrideDefs vs FactionDefs

Faction Def Modding Question

from GalCiv3 Forums

Can anyone tell me the uses for FactionOverrideDefs.xml vs FactionDefs.xml? I am somewhat familiar with changing a few settings and setting up a modding folder. It seems that the game should use the FactionOverrideDefs xml file as opposed to the FactionDefs xml file that is in the Crusade folder... If I alter the FactionOverrideDefs it doesn't seem to affect the civilizations but when I copy the FactionDefs file into my mod, it pulls that info. I understand there is limited info in the overridedefs... Any help would be awesome! Thank you!

Hi,

same question here. Anybody knows how the FactionOverrideDefs.xml works?

 

Is it possible that this file is only necessary if the crusade DLC ist not installed?

 

Otherwise what is:

 

 

    <Preclusions>
      <DLC>Crusade</DLC>
    </Preclusions>

 

 

doing?

 

Thanks in advance.
