Custom Tech Trees & Halo Mod

Hey, I've been working on creating a Halo mod for GalCiv 3, meaning I plan on creating 2 custom tech trees and 2 custom factions (UNSC and Covenant Remnant) along with custom ships that can be used by an AI.

I was looking for some help on things, I am at school currently but here are some problems I am having

-Custom tech tree loads on the screen where you select the tech tree you want (eg, Terran, Altarian, etc) but then crashes upon map loading.

-I am not the best with graphics, so it would be cool if I could have some help there.

I am at school ATM so I cannot post any screens or files yet, however I will the moment I get home.

I wanted to try and make this "mod" as open as possible, so I will post all my resources here so we can all work together on this.

Thanks all if you provide any help!

Future plans:
-Custom sound for all of it, probably taking it from Halo cutscenes
-Maybe a campaign (This is a big "if" lol)

Sounds awesome! I made a Covenant faction ages ago and sort of left it there... Modding this game is really tough to me, I can't wrap my head around all the folders and files lying all over the place.

Good luck man!

Also it helps to post your file or code so we care help find the issue, along with the error message from the debug.err file that is in the Documents\My Games\GalCiv3 (at least where it is for me on windows 7) folder.

I was having a similar issue with my custom techtree. Have you created a TechSpecializationDefs.xml file for your custom techtree yet? Not having that file was what was causing the game to crash for me in my case.

Once I finish with all the XML files then I will post them, But I still have to design the ships and see if an artist can create the colony structure images for me.

I will probably be done with the XML by next Friday, I am currently in a CSS class ATM so I will be getting a better understanding of programming overall.

Then its PHP, HTML, VB and C/C++
