@darklordsauron: more detail please, if you want me to give you a proper advise.

Beautiful work -- nothing less would be expected from I-Mod!

Question:  For those who have customized tech trees, is there a way to create a reader, e.g., Galactopedia, which would allow the development of personalized posters to match our personalized trees?

All the same: thanks for making the game attractive visually!

Thanks!

you mean.. something like this?

All Images were made by this new I-Mod Tool

will be out soon!

This will be fantastic for those of us who are not yet fully "paperless!"  Thanks for your contributions.

Happy New Year!

Thanks you I-Mod team and happy new year

At the risk of sounding stupid... after downloading, how do I "open" the file to look at it?

What does it need to be associated with?  etc. 

It's a    *.RAR     file... and I don't know what kind of file that is. 

Thanks in advance.

As the words of wisdom go, "If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer."  A .rar file is a compressed archive file- in essence, it takes several other files, combines them into one, and uses a compression algorithm to reduce the total space they take up.  It's useful for two reasons- first, it saves some space, always handy when transferring or storing files for an extended time.  Second, it's a nice way of collecting and organizing related files so you only need to keep tabs on one file instead of dozens or hundreds.  You can get all the gritty details by googling it, just searching ".rar" popped up a nice selection of information and the main program (WinRAR) used for the filetype.

That said, I prefer the 7-Zip program for archiving since it uses a format that saves even more space than .rar does, plus it's open source.  It works with quite a variety of compressed archive formats, including .rar, so you probably won't ever need to get another program for opening archives.

Fantastic job, Stefan! Your hard work is much appreciated. Again - Great job!

It is just better, more options, more compression. I thought it is stadard by now. Just download winrar and you dont have to worry about compression file types most of the time.

I don't like WinRAR or any of those compression tools, and I don't want any of them on my computer, thank you.

It really irritates me when something this useful comes out, something I'd like to use, and it's in an *.rar archive.  Please, give us a *.zip option.

By the way, that tech tree viewer will be amazing.  I sure get tired of opening up GalCiv2 just to look at my tech tree.

What if you're on Win98?

Zip required a separate program once upon a time.

In any case: While the .rar is 27.5MB, the .zip is 28.7MB.

I don't think there is yet a "stadard" for this type of thing. Winzip was the first out of the gate, but there isn't yet a clear winner in the compression wars.

I have to agree with you here. It is by any measurable standard superior to winzip. 

Winrar is not shareware. Every time I launch the program it reminds me of such, but it still works. Winzip started out as shareware, if you will remember; then it became begware, then it became demandware, and now it is bloatware.

Winrar has been around for years. It works, plain and simple. Click on the file to dowload it, double-click to decompress, and there you go- every time.

In any case I have no issue installing apps, shareware or otherwise, that I really *need*, it's just that this is the first time that I've had a need for something in *.rar format and thanks to SoleSoul I still don't *need* it.

If you really hate sharewares, use 7zip. It unpacks .rar files (but does NOT pack them) and is as easy to use as Winrar.
Distributed under LGPL licence (plus a specific one for the rar decompression)

thanks Stefen and I-Mod team

I still don't understand what's so complicated with optionnaly uninstalling winzip and installing winrar or 7-zip in its place...

I guess to each his own...

if you often begin to download a lot of mods here and there for games, you will often stumble upon rar files

rar saves space and so user bandwith and more importantly server bandwith which might not be important for you but is important for a lot of webmasters hosting free sites which pay for the bandwith ...

7-zip can have an even better compression ratio but is quite heavy on the decompression time department and is less frequent than rar files (which themselves are less frequent than zip files)

EDIT: I'll add that while winrar is shareware it lets you use it for an unlimited amount of time unregistered, 7-zip is free and more importantly both tools read zip, rar and 7-zip while winzip only reads zip of the three
