I was asked this on the workshop so I'm writing it here in case anyone else finds it useful.Ĭhanging a trait requires less work than creating one, If you want to change a traits effect the only file you need from the example trait zip above is the SimulationDescriptors.XML in that file use the name of an already existing trait e.g. Using a mod to edit vanilla Traits instead of add them: So that you can change bits around, reload the mod and end up creating a mod for yourself. I have put many comments in each of the files explaining what each part does to my knowledge.
Once unzipped into the folder you should be able to run the game and find it in the mods menu, if you activate it you should find 2 new example traits (one has 2 levels) in the start modifiers section of the custom empire creation screen. So far, I have messed around with faction traits for custom factions, If you want to create custom traits (or edit existing ones) here is how:įirstly, download this ExampleTrait mod and add it to the community folder (you need to create it if you have not already) It should be located at %MyDocuments%\Endless Space 2\Community But it can vary. While we're waiting for the official modding manuals I thought I might help with modding in the meantime.
