t_lft_grp should be the starting faction!

Plz help.

i think liberty police or navy wotever is harcodded to appear from start in rep list

you can't use initial_rep and the "house =" methods together,its either one or the the other.initial rep, btw assigns all empathys for the faction to the player.here's how i would set it:
initial_rep = t_lft_grp
rep_group = t_lft_grp(dunno how this is different but both work,so i like to use both)

cheers

Perhaps I made a mistake, but that didn't work. but I have the solution:
it's hardcoded, but you can simply search for a textstring called li_p_grp in the EXE and replace it with the faction you want to be.

true, i didnt say it cant be changed :p
but some dudes like me dont like (not to be confused w dont know) to edit dll's or exe

Well the answer is kinda simple use li_p_grp as internal name for your starting custom faction et viola! no hex editing needed

Yes you can solve the problem this way but that's no real alternative for a TC.

yes it is mostly cause is a TC mod

? why not? noone will ever see the name liberty police... the exe reference is to li_p_grp, a purely internal name. change the appropriate strings in the resource dll's (close to legal as modding gets) and you're set. -shrug- up to you of course
