How to add new Contact types?

[kipkuhmi]

Hi everybody,

another problem which is driving me insane:

I want to add a new ContactType with the name CONTACT_TRADE_BOYCOT. I've been trying around for two days now, but the SDK wouldn't load the corresponding XML values.

The code has to be changed in many places, so I can't describe all of it here. I just would like to know:

Has anyone already successfully added a new ContactType or is it just not possible?

Where precisely in the XML are you working? Don't forget that you must modify Assets/XML/GlobalTypes.xml, where it specifically states that you must also modify the DLL to account for any new additions to the list
