It depends what exactly you're trying to do.
I found something in file:
zips_ee2x\EE2X_db.zip\EE2X_db\TechTree\civ_reg_bonus_upgrades.ddf
For example, under:
Code: Select all
UpgradeCivRegBonus CivUpgr_SpecRes_Cost {
Those are tweaks for text entry from file: zips_ee2x\EE2X_db.zip\EE2X_db\dbtext_techtreetips.utf8
Code: Select all
tt_civTrait_SpecRes_Cost,"""All units have their special resource costs reduced by 25%"""
Based on zips_ee2x\EE2X_db.zip\EE2X_db\TechTree\dbtechtreenode.csv
Code: Select all
CivAtt_SpecRes_Cost,,tt_civTrait_SpecRes_Cost,1,0,Main,,0,0,0,,,Traits_SpecRes_Cost,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,,[],(CivAttribute)
It's best to:
1. Backup EE2 folder.
2. Open file zips_ee2x\EE2X_db.zip with WinRar
3. In WinRar -> "Tools" -> "Find files" -> "String to find" type the entry you're looking for (for example I typed: "all units have their special resource costs reduced".
4. It will list files where this text was used. Then you can find another "ID", and go deeper in research. Maybe you will be able to add new entries instead of replacing existing.
