Can't get frogboy's modding program to work

from GalCiv4 Forums

program states "can't find galciv4 directory" when it was run from inside same.

 

Also, could someone just make a mod to ONLY boost  money research and manufacturing?

I mod this game extensively, just never upload them.  Ideally, to make a mod that affects only you, you want to create a custom "Ability", that you can then assign to your Civ, that becomes the key to any other changes you want to make.  Such as:

  • An improvement that only your Civ can create that gives you a colony bonus
  • A Policy that only your Civ can select that give you the desired bonus
  • Or you can bake the bonus into the ability

 

That requires:

  • Data/Core
    • FactionAssets.xml
  • Data/Gameplay Folder
    • Ability.xml
  • Data/GFX/RaceTrait
    • RaceTrait (Icon)
  • Data/Text Folder
    • AbilityText.xml

If you do it this way, you could possibly create one mod with a couple of "abilities" each one tailored to your needs.  I created an Evil ability that super charges the bad guys to make things more interesting for me.
