Creating new races

[The Shadow Wolf]

Is it possible to create six or seven brand new races to create a whole new universe in X3 or am I limited to three new races like in X2 as I would like to use the game engine but create my own universe.

For example in Star Trek you have five major empire races :

Federation
Klingon
Romulan
Ferengi
Borg

you cant add new races, only overright existing ones.

there are 3 races that arn't used by the main game, so you can effictivly add 3 new races.

but if you going to make a total conversion mod, then u could simply replace all the existing ones.

however, for startrek, i would suggest goign to the XFP forums, as theres a full startrek mod in the works, that will include the startrek universe, races and ships

How would one go about changing the names?

[Cycrow]

every piece of text in the game, as a text file entry, all you need to do, is create a new text file with the same entry for the race you want to rename, the same page and t id.

thats all you have to do to rename anything

So would changing the Boron to something else mean they will be the new race in the original X-universe

Correct. Just need to edit race names in a text file.

Hi guys,

If I use e.g. Race 1 for my new race, how and where do I define what character showes up on the com screen when contacted?

thanks
