testing Devnull. solved.

Does anyone know how I could setup devnull to test tech. I imagine it would involve setting up a map. Usually when I test tech I set up a race with all the tech and then test the tech. In this case I want to experiment with a new technology in DevNull I have never seen before, but am not sure how to get the tech as I just discovered it in ruins. I checked out the map maker and it appears possible to add ruins to planets but I can't see how to choose the technology or even if I can choose DevNull technology.

Add the Ancient Ruins Unique ability (or whatever it is called) to a planet with the appropriate unique tech number (look for the number used by the ruins tech in the data files) used for Value 1.

I wanted ro create a map for DevNull Mod so I could find the ruins for a DevNull technology. Fyron explained the process for setting the ruin as devnull tech, and I used his advice.

Edit: Incidentally, this one attempt has shown me I do NOT want to create a map for a game using DevNull as strange things happen like storms turn to stars and warppoints turn to asteroids and the game freezes if you touch them.
