I have created several races for a custom game. I currently have added; The Klingon Empire (ST), The Cylons (BattleStar Galactica), The Shadows (Babylon5), and Sexy Women (My own creation). I plan on adding other races from other shows as well such as the Dominion (DS9), The Go'ald (SG!), The Wraith (SG-Atl) and maybe even the Nox.
I can do this fairly quickly. I go the the {GalCiv2 \ Data \ English} directory and edit two files. The CustomPlanets.xml and RaceConfig.xml. In these files, I put the names and attributes of my new race, makng sure the planet names match wth both files, and put in the file names of my new race. I make sure that I keep the XML tags correct and I also make sure that the.png files of my new race are put the proper folder {The GalCiv2 \ Gfx \ Race} folder. I will be developing ships for each race following the advise from other posters in this forum. It's not hard to do. They made this game very easy to mod and I do love that aspect of it.
But my question is this. I can't find a way to alter the little movie files that you see when you talk to another race.The ones you see after you click on the Foreign Relations button, then the "Speak to" button. I have found the folder and I'm sure that they are the 0_Trade00.bik files (0=any number from 0-9) that are in the {GalCiv2 \ Movies} directory. Does anyone know if there is a small program that deals with this BIK format?
Thanks for any info.
