Hi
I've tried reading various threads on how to mod the research tree using Notepad++ but still having problems.
I am tiring to add an 'increase population cap' to Ice and Greenhouse planets (Maelstrom mod) usable for the Advent.
So far I have.
1) Created the new research subject and allocated to free slots on the research hub. The research subject is named
RESEARCHSUBJECT_POPULATIONCAPICEPSI0
I have checked, double checked and triple checked that the position is empty.
Does it matter that I use the hudIcon's and Name/Description StringID's in use for the Norlamin version of the research?
entityType "ResearchSubject"
hudIcon "HUDICON_RESEARCHSUBJECT_POPULATIONCAPICE0_Norlamins"
smallHudIcon "HUDICON_RESEARCHSUBJECT_POPULATIONCAPICE0_Norlamins"
infoCardIcon ""
NameStringID "IDS_RESEARCHSUBJECT_POPULATIONCAPICE0_NAME_Norlamins"
DescriptionStringID "IDS_RESEARCHSUBJECT_POPULATIONCAPICE0_DESCRIPTION_Norlamins"

2) Added the subject to both manifest and player entity files (increased count on both).

entityDefName "RESEARCHSUBJECT_POPULATIONCAPICEPSI0"
But just getting minidump when I try to load the mod. Any advice?
Thanks
