LogicSequence - This is totally beautiful.

I was impressed when I was going thorugh your files, the images looked amazing - I use several other mods and merge them all into one folder so I can have more fun.

Then I started a new game, and wow. The stars, the Nebulea, the Planets.... Wow. Totally amazing. I think I need new pants, lol


Marioflag:
You were sure to restart DA right?
I'm not too familiar with ATI X series, (Had a 9700AIW till this year, lol), but given that there is currently X1900's out along with Athlon 64's (and X2's), I would guess that your computer might be a little under powered. Try lowering the anitasailing values and star density.

If the glitches increase over time (IE they get bigger and cover more of the screen), turn down as many of the graphic options you can, exit the game, and turn off your rig to let it cool.

Hmmm. ok. Lets make sure it didn't install to the Dread Lords mod folder. Have you checked TotalGaming/GC2/Mods to make sure it isn't there? And previously, you were sure to check Totalgaming/GC2/Dark Avatar/mods correct? Remember, you must have Dark Avatar installed for the mod to work, the mod is not for Dread Lords.

Do you have GC2 installed to the default dir or a custom one (it shouldn't matter either way)? Try this: delete (or rename) the file called prefs.ini in the My Documents/My Games/GC2 Dark Avatar folder, this will restore all of your settings to default. Then start the game, check use mods in settings, and go into the selction window and hit the default BUTTON. Restart DA and THEN go back and see if you can select the High Res mod from the list.

i'm planning on doing the same thing. is it simply a copy & paste job?

Logic Sequence probably my graphic corruption was due to overheating because now i'm not able to reproduce it, i'm noticing that with the mod my audio is stuttering a lot more than before but it's already known that it is due to anti-aliasing (which i have maxed at 6x)
and also in this case it should happen because your mod needs greater graphic requirements, so all my problems should be resolved by Stardock they are not due to incompatibility with your mod.
BTW you have done a really great work I hope Stardock will implemement your mod as a graphic option in the next patch!
Thank you

Try lowering you AA a little, that will put less stress on your graphics card.

The mod can now be found easily by just going to the following page and clicking the link > http://www.thegalacticcore.com/

Go into the mod folder and open the file for the High Res Graphic Mod. Inside open the folder 'GFX' and unless i am a total dunce you just need to remove the folder called 'Space'. Or if its just the stars that get you, not the nebula, just open the 'Space' folder and remove the files 'Star0' to 'Star3'.

dystopic:

I merged KHSM, HRG, and Carbon UI all by copying them into the same folder. I also merged a small balance mod that I made personally by hand editing raceconfig.xml It was fairly straight forward.

And logicSequence, The raceconfig.xml will work in the mod folder. However, you must place it in Mods\data, not mods\data\english for it to work (for some reason the game won't recognize it if its in the english folder). I know this beacuse I modify a range penalty for the different races in my games.

Additionally, your mod has a raceconfig and startypes xml in your High Resolution graphics mod\data folder(so the game is using them), Are they the same as the ones you replaced in the Darkavatar\data folder? If not, they are overwriting what changes you made to the original game files in the Dark Avatar\data.

I don't know about startypes.xml to say if the game is using the mod folder version, but I can guaruntee that the game will read the raceconfig.xml from the mod folder if it is in the mod\data folder.

ps, what bug fix did you do to the raceconfig.xml? I want to make sure I don't accidently delete it!

Thanks.

Actually I just edited it to add a download link (in place of the release date in the OP) after you made your comment.

Hey guys, sorry it took me a while to post, i've been catching up on "real life" .



If you look in the library where the mod is, in the description box, it will tell you the mod is hosted at The Galactic Core. Unfortunately the mod was too big to upload directly to the mods library. But in the description box is the link to the mod. You can download it here. The Galactic Core was wonderful enough to host it for us.




Well i found that not to be the case when i tried with DA. But if it is the case, and it works in the mods folder, then by all means just copy the one the installer put in the original game dir into the mods folder and use that one. However, they are both exactly the same (the one the installer puts in DA/data and DA/mods/data). Anyways, the one in the mods folder is in mods/data not mods/data/english. There is no such folder created when the mod is installed.






There is a bug in the game where the mods folder doesn't port startypes.xml correctly Cari confirmed it with me a week or so ago. That's why the installer places a copy in the game dir. However, i set it so the files are also placed in the mods/data dir so that when a patch for the game fixes those issues, you don't have to download anything else to make the mod compliant, it will just start using the ones in the mods folder and you can delete the other ones.




Everything should be clearly visibly marked as modded in the file. There will be a commented header in the file where i modded data, and a commented closing footer to indicate where modded info stops. Basically it's just a correction to the name of the Dominion of Korx Homeworld. It's supposed to be Korlath and not Korx.
