  • alphax.txt changes wont kick in

    I tried changing the territory size and the land mass numbers in the alphax.txt. It appears to have made no changes. Any ideas?

    Have you a) restarted the game b) saved the changes c) made sure you haven't edited alpha.txct instead of alphax.txt?

      Every time you change alphax.txt you have to start a new game before the changes take effect.
      The changes will not affect for instance a save game loaded after changing the txt file.
      Maybe this helps.

      Did you ask our colleages in the creation forum yet?
      Maybe they can shed some light on this.

        a. Yes
        b. Yes
        c. Yes

        I even tried rebooting after making changes.

        And no I haven't posted in creation mainly since this was for general play, I wasn't planning on doing any mods or anything.

          Well I have found several instances where the game overides some parameters I had changed in the alpha(x).txt file. livid imp may have found another instance.

          livid imp: can you upload the file here (or E-Mail it to me at tvtvtvdnandal@twcny.rr.comtvtvtv minus the tv's) with an explaination of what you've changed. I can then look at the file sometime this weekend and see if I can duplicate and verify your issue.
