I don't think so, although I may be wrong. I remember being able to modify the ability bonuses of the Metaverse and still get a legit game. I think with the system of today it would get a cheat flag, as the original XML of the game has been tempered with.
After playing Galactic Civilisations for about 3 years and a half now, I got used to the soundtrack and music and I actually remember everything quite well. A few months ago I bought Red Alert 3 - one of my favourite games and I could not but notice that some parts sound *exactly* the same as some parts in Galactic Civ2. For example, in Red Alert 3 when you finish a game with the allies in the Skirmish mode, the music played while you view the Game Statistics sounds exactly the same a
Hey Kryo, Uploaded another mod, the SRPA Logo. Thanks.
Mine just represents the nickname in some cool-ish evil way... Nothing special, nice trick however Soul. :P
Fox3, calm down... I don't see the problem I can log in to I-Mod just fine. Why not e-mail Stefan in private and work together on the problem? Could be your browser.
Go to your game's Data > English folder and search for the TechTree.xml In that file you'll find many different technologies, use the Ctrl-F tion to find the tech you wish to remove and simply delete it. Note that removing a tech might have a huge effect on the game. Techs such as the Universal Translator are vital to the rest of the game, while others may be less important. Each tech is there for a reason, some unlock Improvements and some give you bonuses that otherwise you would
Why do people want Karma anyway? Maybe the fact he has "so much" just makes people give him more? But what difference does it really make? I'm not in favor of the Karma system anyway, it just makes people want to get more and more and do stupid things sometimes. On the other hand it may drive people to actually help, if they want some Karma badly. You shouldn't care how much Karma does one Annatar has, and how much he deserves it no matter how "good soul" he is. If you really want som
Mod the colour of the fog of war? I don't think that's possible. All those things, Fog of War, 5 planet limit, having both moon and ring are all hard coded, I don't usually mess around with those stuff. Leave those for Stardock to handle ;)
It doesn't? I just made my own test improvement and everything worked fine using the Twilight Editor. You must have done something wrong, check that everything is correct in the actual XML.
Actually it's pretty easy. All you have to have is Twilight of the Arnor. Launch the... Launcher and select Editors > Improvements. Now name your Improvement ID, and save it. Now you can do all of your modifications to the improvement such as description, images, etc. But under the Bonuses tab, you have 3 options. You are looking for Bonus to Planet, and Bonus to Civ. Under Planet type 7& in the Economic Ability, and under Civ type 1% Economic ability. Here you go, hope
For me Best PC game of the Year is well... I'm sorry but not Sins of a Solar Empire. Sins can go easily into best Strategy along with Twilight but the Best PC game of the year is definitely Fallout 3. It has incredible freedom and a really fun story and game-play, and everyone is curious to see how it's like in the Capital Wasteland. I did vote Sins for best Strategy and Twilight for best Expansion. All the games there are awesome nevertheless.
There are other solutions to this problem. For example, if you want to start a game - even in a Gigantic galaxy, without the Fog of War, all you have to do is mod a new Tech that would be available right in the start of the game. Now just set the sensor range ability of that Tech to... Well... Astronomical sizes and there you go, the galaxy is revealed.
It is located in these places for the various games: -GalCiv2: Dread Lords = Stardock\TotalGaming\GalCiv2\Data\English -GalCiv2: Dark Avatar = Stardock\TotalGaming\GalCiv2\DarkAvatar\Data\English -GalCiv2: Twilight of the Arnor = Stardock\TotalGaming\GalCiv2\Twilight\Data\English Inside the English folder you'll find many XMLs, and the FlavorText.xml is one of them. Hope I was able to help. Now modding the XML FlavorText is a whole different s
You said it yourself, inside the FlavorText.xml are all the things that the various races say. The first colonisation, invading a planet, etc.
Actually if you use the Google Toolbar spellcheck, it marks the mistakes with red, which when you disable the spellcheck in order to post, they remain and appear in the post. Very annoying... Example: <span id="gtbmisp_0" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; font-family: serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; font-size: 100%; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-st
[quote who="Raruto" reply="6" id="1970656"]yeah but i meant to implement the construction of artificial planet as dyson sphere and ringworld around the stars... if it's possible of course[/quote] I don't think that's possible.

A Space Empires mod would be pretty much pointless, as in the Space Empires series, you get much freedom, and less of a story line. It would be like, imagine, doing a Sins of a Solar Empire Mod, to Galactic Civilisations.
You can however preset the quality of all planets in the customplanets.XML file. And that's only regarding the planets of the major factions.
Added Brotherhood of Steel Logo to the Library, if you could take a look on it. Thanks Kryo.
So Stefan's right. Why not finish your current ongoing mods, and then concentrate on new ones? No point in working on lots of mods simultaneously.
What's going to be in the Mod? Lord Kona alrea
Go to the game's folder, where the .exe is, and above the folder "Movies" there should be a folder named "Mods".
Maybe he means the Star Trek forum.
Disable the mods folder, try to play the game. Post the debug in the problem centre so people can know what file ruined the process.
Well there are many things that need to be improved in GalCiv 2, and the graphics are secondary to Combat, Spying, researching techs etc. I'm sure in GalCiv 3 there will be all those additions. For example, various lightmaps, high resolution clouds and textures, diagonal rings and so on.
