editing ship hull masses in the xml files not working, unable to change them, how do i do so?

trying to mod hull masses for some of the hulls but edits arent working.

from GalCiv3 Forums

So, I copied the xml files to the example mod folder and pasted the XML files in, and edited the hull mass to what I wanted (nothing too extreme, at most increased one by around 200) and when I relaunched the game and went into the menu ship editor the changes hadn't taken, idk why and how exactly do you go about doing this?

You said "relaunched the game". Did you mean start a new game? Because mods only take effect on a new game ...

What files are you editing?

Did you put them in the right folder in the example mod folder?

nah I  mean I had  closed the game to do the mod stuff, I relaunched it and went to the main menu ship editor and the hull masses were the same, I hadn't started a game yet as the effects hadn't changed the hull mass in the main menu ship designer.
