Civilization Trait Points

[Thrice]

Id like to mess around with an OP faction. Any way to add more trait points? Ive tried a few trainers and cheat engine, but I find a way to do it. Anyone know a way?

I would guess that you can just make them all cost zero by modifying the relevant .xml file

[magnumaniac]

Just checked... RaceTraitSliderGroupDefs.xml is the one you want I think - make a backup of it first though.

Thank you mate!

Nope didnt work. :P Changed em all to zero and still takes points.

Anyone have any info on where to look for this? I cant even find anything on google :P

OK, just tried this on the file I suggested and can confirm that it does work - changed:

<RaceTraitSliderGroup>
<InternalName>CleverGroup</InternalName>
...
<RaceTraitOption>
<RaceTrait>Clever1</RaceTrait>
<Cost>0</Cost>
</RaceTraitOption>
</RaceTraitSliderGroup>

And this showed up as zero cost in race design and could be selected for zero points.

So not sure what you are doing wrong - maybe you are in the wrong location, or haven't enabled mods (though why you would be trying to change something without enabling mods I don't know).

Tried using mods but the game ignores the edited XML files I put in the mod folder. So there must be something I am missing that not in mod readme. Please tell me how you managed to get the game to load and use your modded files.

I edited the file, saved it, and it read as zero points, but when I choose it, it subtracts the points. Not sure how Im messing it up *sigh* Thanks for trying mate! I appreciate the help.

Found a work around. You can dl a trainer from cheathappens, it has a trait point option. It doesnt normally work on custom races. But if you activate it, choose a premade race, then change your points to (whatever, 100? etc.), you can hit back, choose a custom race, and the points stay high. Its the only way Ive found to cheese the system.

If you report bugs while using this or any other "mod" please mention it in your report.

Just double checking you have enabled mods in the game settings? Sorry if that is a silly question, but there is a check box in the settings somewhere.

Nope I didnt... Im dumb. Thanks, sorry!
