Hmm, I've never done it.  I've only modded the official 14 factions.  I guess you just read through the various .txt files until you figure it out.

It was so much fun, I used to do it all the time. I did not have crossfire then and think I had to manually replace the originals. I was thinking with crossfire there would be a folder you could just collect them

As far as I know, it can be specified in alphax.txt file. Look near the end of file for #CUSTOMFACTIONS:

Code: [Select]


;
; First item is file name, second item is search key.
; These should always be the same except for debugging purposes.
;
#NEWFACTIONS
CYBORG,   CYBORG
PIRATES,  PIRATES
DRONE,    DRONE
ANGELS,   ANGELS
FUNGBOY,  FUNGBOY
CARETAKE, CARETAKE
USURPER,  USURPER


;
; These are factions you want included in the startup list.
; These may also be chosen when a random faction is selected.
; First item is file name, second item is search key.
; These should always be the same except for debugging purposes.
