3 did you add any player themes?

4 did you add the new playerthemes to the PlayerThemes.manifest?

5 did you add any player pictures?

6 did you add the PlayerPictures to the PlayerPictures.manifest?

harpo

thank you mifist no i did not

thank you again also harpo yes i did  i also have most of the research and the original (not redone as of yet ships and structures this if for my o.r.b mod by the way)

Yes it is. You pointed out my mistake of having to have them in order in the galaxy manifest which they do not. Thanks again.

left click is select forward, right click is select backward. I might have misdirected you with selectablePriorty 4

check your other races and make sure the numbers are in order, not missing 3

Not sure what it was, you can look

• vasari 0
• advent 1
• tec 2
• new race 3

if that was the selectablePriorty right click would be vasari first, left click would be new race first.

Open each races entity and paste there selectablePriorty line in here so I can see if its all correct.

It shouldn't be the selectable priority... You can set the value to 7 for the first race and it doesn't cause any issues.

I've seen this before where the selection only allows right clicks on older mods. I can't recall what the issue was though as it's been so long ago.

How are you building entity.manifest?

Does your GalaxyScenarioDef have the playerTypeCount, validPictureGroups and validThemeGroups for your new race?

You still need to setup the picture group and theme group even if they are still using the TEC picture textures.

Text editor search function will find it.

I remembered what mod had the race selection problem. What other mods are you trying to encorporate? Also, you haven't answered yet how you are building the entity.manifest.

In the Window folder make a copy of the tecs playerthemes and playerpictures and rename to suit your race.

Add them to each manifest.

Tell galaxy scenereiodef to use the new playerpictures and playerthemes for your new race

validPictureGroups 3
pictureGroup "PlayerPhase"
pictureGroup "PlayerPsi"
pictureGroup "PlayerTech"
validThemeGroups 4
themeGroup "PlayerPhase"
themeGroup "PlayerPsi"
themeGroup "PlayerTech"
themeGroup "NPC"

near the bottom, line 1240

Well the other mods issue was the entity.manifest being corrupt. If you are manually adding entries I suggest you get one of the manifest generators on this forum to rule out that as a possibility as well.

Elaborate please. Eclipse didn't work? You couldn't figure out how to install the plugin? You couldn't figure out how to setup the plugin? You couldn't figure out how to setup your projects? You couldn't figure out how to validate?

It works for quite a few people so it's not an issue wih the tool or plugin.
