Help guys trying to get rebalanced Corearmors.xml working

from Elemental Forums

I have been balancing all the armor and I will do weapons next but I have hit a snag. I copied the Corearmors.xml from the data/sp only folder and edited all the values after planning it out. Next I tried to put the edited file in mydocuments...elemental/units..... and it did not work. Next I tried putting it in the mods folder(mod box checked under options) and it does not change anything. I am starting new games.

 

Of course I know there must be a way to overide the default xml file without just overwriting it. Does anyone have a clue where to put this? I am gonna tweak weapons next if I ever get this working.

You'd think that, but you would be wrong. Technically you don't have to overwrite it though, just change the extension on the original and place your modded copy in the data/sp folder as it just loads any xml files in there. you will have to run datazip,exe (found in your elemental install directory) to get it to detect the changes.

I got it to work in the mods folder. Mod is on the forums. Gonna play test some see how it goes. It should be better. Next I think I'll look into the weapons.
