CHANGES [DisharmonyVersion1.1.0]



ABOUT THE NEW DISHARMONY XML FOLDER:

Every new xml requested for the Disharmony pack is now located in another public folder with the extention "xp1"



ABOUT THE NEW DISHARMONY MODDING FOLDER:

In order to make your new mods appear in the mods list of the game while you are playing Disharmony, you need to put them in the folder "My Documents\Endless Space\Disharmony\Modding[nameofyourfolder]". Then to link your mods to the Disharmony expansion pack, you also need to tag them adding the marker Disharmony as a child of the marker in the file Index.xml

Even if we can't guarantee that your old mods are still working using Disharmony, you can still link them to this expansion pack.



ABOUT THE NEW MODDING TOOL AT DISPOSAL:

"ConstructionDescriptors". It is a descriptor applied on a system during construction of an element with the descriptor (module, hull, improvement).

"StarSystemAffinity" (ollowing the same behavior of StarSystemOwner). It allows to apply descriptors according to the affinity of a system.

"EventsToActivate". We can launch any type of random event after unlocking a technology with this new marker (only one limit, the event will be on your faction only).

Exemple: Achievement_SpeedBonusEmperor

Otherwise considering each file has a bit of new content for a first modding note please don't be mad at me for not listing every existing files in the folder
