	loading factions Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Hi.

I downloaded several factions from this site, but how do I get them to work?

I think I put the files in the right folders but when the faction screen comes up and I click on the load faction button, I type the new faction game and it says it doesn't know it!


Any ideas?

	Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

If you aren't using the scenario editor to load them, you need to add them to the "custom factions" section in alphax.txt. Then when you are starting a game you will see them as factions you can choose, or if you use the 'random faction' selection, the computer will choose from among them as well.

If it's smac you have, you will need to replace some original seven factions with your custoim ones again thru the alpha.txt file editing

	Full PM-box? Change here!

and if its smax you have you can add factions using the faction editor by clicking save and then "add faction to game". that way you don't need to use the alpha text and its less complicated
