Now that I'm more familiar with the base GalCiv data files, I'm noticing there are a few problems with some of the files.
If you are comfortable using NotePad, you can easily fix these files.
The following is the list of discrepancies I've come across, feel free to add your own. Perhaps StarDock will see this list and fix the files listed as well.
FILE: \Data\UP_Issues\AbilityBonus01.upissue
ISSUE: The file says ability bonus, but the UP Issue contained within is a dupe of the UP HQ issue.
REMEDY: Rename the file so it no longer has a .upissue extension, for example .BADupissue
FILE: \Data\UP_Issues\StarbaseTax02.upissue
ISSUE: The file says StarbaseTax02, but the UP Issue contained within is named StarbaseTax01, and there is another StarbaseTax01 out there.
REMEDY: Rename the issue to StarbaseTax02, like so:
//--------------------
UPISSUE StarbaseTax02
//--------------------
FILE: \Data\UP_Issues\TradeFed01.UPISSUE
ISSUE: The Trade Federation is supposed to charge you 10% of your trade, instead it only charges 1%
REMEDY: Change OptionVal01 from 1 to 10. Contrary to appearances, this is not a Yes/No UP Issue, the percent to charge is governed by the OptionVal of the winning choice. In this case Yes should equal 10.
FILE: \Data\UP_Issues\TradeFed02.UPISSUE
ISSUE: The Trade Federation is supposed to charge you 10% of your trade, instead it only charges 1%
REMEDY: Same as above, change OptionVal01 from 1 to 10.
FILE: \Data\SoldieringAbility01.ANOMALY
ISSUE: The Morale anomaly is affecting Ship Defense, not Morale.
REMEDY: Find the ANOMOLY Morale section of the file. Change Quantity from 2 to 4. (Yes, Quantity, kind of goofy, I know).
FILE: \Data\achievements.imp
ISSUE: The Technology capital does not double research as advertised. It's only granting a 10% bonus.
REMEDY: Find the IMPROVEMENT TechnologyCapital section of the file. Change Research_Improvement_Bonus from 10 to 100.
FILE: \Data\bonusevents.event
ISSUE: The event Pods01 is supposed to grant a Research bonus for the Neutral and Evil options, but it does not.
REMEDY: Change GoodAttribute/NeutralAttribute/EvilAttribute from 8 to 9.
FILE: \Data\bonusevents.event
ISSUE: The event MoNatives does not affect your Morality.
REMEDY: Change MoralityWeight from 10 to 5.
FILE: \Data\bonusevents.event
ISSUE: The event PrecursorShip does not affect your Morality.
REMEDY: Change MoralityWeight from 6 to 5.
FILE: \Data\coreevents.event
ISSUE: The event Research01 is supposed to grant a Research bonus for the Neutral and Evil options, but it does not.
REMEDY: Change GoodAttribute/NeutralAttribute/EvilAttribute from 8 to 9.
