Reloading scenario (GOTM) art when loading a saved game

[Dolgorukov]

I can't remember now; was there a way to load scenario-custom art when loading a saved game? When I load a game save from a GOTM (Game of the month), all the cool base art is not there and generic SMAC art takes over.  Is there anyone out there who has a solution for this?

for the Nomads GotM, you should open your alpha.txt file in the main game directory, search for the #FACTIONS section which should look like this:

Code: [Select]

#FACTIONS
GAIANS,   GAIANS
HIVE,     HIVE
UNIV,     UNIV
MORGAN,   MORGAN
SPARTANS, SPARTANS
BELIEVE,  BELIEVE
PEACE,    PEACE
and replace it with:

Code: [Select]

#FACTIONS
GAIANS,   GAIANS
NOMADS,   NOMADS
UNIV,     UNIV
MORGAN,   MORGAN
SPARTANS, SPARTANS
BELIEVE,  BELIEVE
PEACE,    PEACE
once you have finished playing the scenario, you just have to revert to the original.
