CYBERNIKES

Logos and portraits go in GALCIV2\GFX\RACE.

Guys I think you misunderstood Zydor, His was a response to small European Countries being called crappy, he was merely pointing out that it was okay that Mystikmind did not understand European History as He probably doesn't understand his own countries which is shorter. And as far as major wars go,there was the French and Indian wars,the Revolution, The Civil War and the war of 1812.We invaded Canada once,and fought Mexico twice! The frequency of wars

As for so called "cheese" - this is a game, its not the search for the Holy Grail. If it allows certain actions, do them and enjoy. If it doesnt, tough. Lets not continually try and build something profound and meaningfull out of a 4X game. Geez, get a life and enjoy it for what it is, FUN.

Well now it may be my mistake,when I try to paste the line to this post it reads correctly..DataChecksum NoParse="1" Maybe its just the font ,but in your post it looks like, DataChecksum NoParse-"1" And subsequently ,every instance of = also looks like a hyphen. As in before each civ name. So I'm not sure if the program here automatically converts it, but your game parser does not recognize it.I know my mine did not recognize it,because

I think a better example of a true culture conquest can be seen with Hitlers Germany taking some of the crappy little neighbouring countries simply through popular support of the people in those countries. All this before the main war had even started. Crappy,unless you happen to live in one of those countries! As far as I am aware,there is a difference between fear of imminent invasion,and teaching everyone the beer barrel polka. Perha

Well worth the wait Stefan! For those of you who have not seen the work Stefan's team did on the new forum, come on over you will love the new look,and style!

Well there is a sneaky way around this,if you don't mind losing political parties. You change the name of the governments to reflect a 'higher level' of government achieved.For example,everyone starts at level one government ,as a nation gets better at governing it self and acquires more skill it progresses to the next level. The actual types of governments will take the place of the parties. And since you can set these in DA the Drengins might be Communists,the Terre

Say Macmatt I took my race Config changed the = to - the way you have it and got a crash to the desktop. I think that is it!

Well I'm no expert but could it be that not using the race= is confusing the parser? You have Race- Again I'm no expert,but sometimes it is the little things that escape us! Cheers!

Stanley I know Kryo probably did not mention this because he assumes you just want to edit portraits,like you ask.However if you get ambitious and start editing logos or ship textures,you should know that while most programs will handle png ,it may not handle transparencies. For example Arcsoft (Canon)will open,edit,import and export png,but will not save the transparency. So lets say you load a logo png into an editor that supports png,but not transpar

Quite welcome!

Yes, Photoshop should have a built in lighting enhancement filters ,where you can adjust shadows and lighting effects for your exterior panels.(mine does) e.g. like the directional flood effect on the struts and hulls. As for windows,well this is a built up effect ,or layered if you will. You'll have a png with the actual 'lightmap' so to speak.And an alpha,where the windows are transparent,to create a 'shine through 'effect. Anyway probably best to see exactl

Race Leader; 0 for Robot\Neutral 1 Male 2 Female Nice job Macmatt...I'm sure your guides will help everyone quite a bit!

You can edit conversations ,to reflect what you want said to you. You need to back up your work first.Then choose an editor like notepad,do not use wordpad or any rich text editor.I use edit pad pro,its inexpensive and presents XML in a color coded format,which is much easier on the eyes than Notepad.It also does much more than that but thats another post. If you want the buy screen to reflect your civ,you can edit the string files. For example in stead of Mitrosoft,it coul

Quote from 'General Pants' "There is a sailor's superstition about renaming ships... you don't do it. I don't know how far this extends... the Germans and Russians don't seem to care too much (not that either has spent much time on naval power, historically)." Ahh so true General,the superstition lingers even today. However as someone who spent his life at sea(Merchant Mariner),I can tell you that if you refused to get on a renamed vessel,...you'd be spending an awf

I play a custom,super-warrior,earth spin off race, modeled on the ancient Greeks. With that in mind,flagship is always NSS HYPATIA (Literally, women of superior intellect).I believe thats fitting for a vessel outfitted with my best technology. Her sister ships are DESSA ,ISEMI,and SOLON.(roamer ,to know,and wisdom.) I have redone my survey ship to use a large hull version of the origina
