Mod_Definition.txt : Allow Main Empires |
I'm very confused about this particular piece of the SE5 modding setup.
If I set "Allow Main Empires" in the mod_definition.txt file to true, then during empire setup, I get duplicates of most empires (I presume because I also have versions in my own mod), but when I start a game with a "high" number of empires, I get 10+ empires created. When I set the stat to "FALSE", I get rid of the duplicate empire flags, etc. during setup, but I can't get the game to create more than 5 or 6 AI empires at that point.
In my settings.txt, I've got the following as well, which SHOULD control how many empires are generated on "high" (or so I thought):
Minimum Computer Player High Setting := 14 Maximum Computer Player High Setting := 14
However, that doesn't seem to actually do anything.
I'm very confused. Does anyone know how to get 10+ empires generated while not having any duplicate flags?
Re: Mod_Definition.txt : Allow Main Empires
I tweaked a few values in settings.txt (of course, now I can't remember all of them...*sigh*) and things seem to be working now. My current game that I started has 18 AI empires, only 5 of which are neutrals.

mYBE BECAUSE there arn't that many empire files creted, i think there are 9-12 ish? i don[t feel liek counting exactly but there is also a neutral amount too, this also adds players so if you have both then you max amount of players in game would be max computer players+max high neutral players.
and if all else fails then you could alway just create your own computer controlled empires and save them. then just reload them all as computer controlled empires whenever you decide to start a new game
(What was thought impossible years before is now normal life...Just give it a few more years, you'll be amazed.)
