Hi all

I realy a n00b in making flmods but i like to make them.

I am now trying to make a new faction. I have read much about it on the forum's of Lancers Reactor but i still don't know how i get a id for my faction. i also have read the How to build own factions from Crabtree CCN

This is what i trying to make
nickname = el_cl_grp
ids_name = Elder-clan (how do i get the number of that)
ids_info = (how do i get the number of that)
ids_short_name = Elder (how do i get the number of that)

Can somebody help me.

Hi meth, you have to use FLEd-ids.exe which u can get from the download section. Its best to backup namesresources.dll and infocards.dll before you change anything. but if you just pop in a number from the other factions and then change it abit you should find an empty one quite easilily. Good luck, let me know how u get on..

Alternatively - check out the thread called IDS CARDS FOR NEWBIES in tutorials forum.

As long as your at it, you might as well acquire the empty dll file from the downloads section too. The trouble with using some of the scattered empty numbers in the stock dll's is that many other modders use them also and if you load someone's mod you may overwrite your own. Of course if all you do is add 3 or 4 numbers and descriptions that may never be a problem, but if you really get rolling and make a bunch of stuff then it could be.
