[quote who="nOObonian" reply="4" id="2807602"]So what are the write limits? 1,000 times?[/quote] I was going to ask the same question. What do you mean my write limits? As much as Windows is always writing to the HDD, wouldn't that be a problem? Or is it just a limit on how many times you can wipe it and start clean?
[quote who="blickwinkel" reply="2" id="2803869"]Thank you for response, but I still don't know where it is and what to do. Did you mean re-activate? Maybe I should uninstall, and try to install again but I'm saving it for last resort option. Here is screenshot of my Impulse view: http://b.imagehost.org/view/0847/Image2[/quote] Hold down the shift key on your keyboard as you right click on it just like you did in your screen shot.

[quote]I ran the game out 300 turns[/quote] This may be a silly question, but how do you do this? I've wanted to test some things in my game before (like testing a custom ship style to make sure the AI uses it properly) and I didn't know if there was a way to advance the game that many turns to see what happens, or do you actually have to play through that many?
I play GCII on Windows 7 64 bit. I installed my version of the game via Impulse. The only issue I had was that I had to enable the hardware mouse as the in-game software one did not work well. I'm sure that is just my hardware though. As heft posted above, just make sure your DX is updated, and that your device drivers are updated and working.
[quote who="aeligos" reply="10" id="2802605"]I'm going to start GalCiv II real soon and it will be on a new laptop with Windows 7. But I wonder, will there be compatibility issues with Windows 7 ? I do have GalCiv1 on my xp laptop but from what I understand, GalCiv 1 won't run on Windows 7 so maybe I won't bother with that game any longer. -.-[/quote] I've been playing GalCiv2 on Windows 7 64-bit just fine.

I play Twilight as well, latest patches. I remember that Tech Brokering option, I didn't think about that. On a side note, I tried this again with another minor race. I traded them for all of their techs, money, and IP. The trade was successful. I then invaded, and with my luck, I failed again! So, I made sure I finished out the turn, quit the game, and loaded back up a save. This time I was able to do the trade again successfully, and then I killed the minor just as I wanted the seco
Hello all! I'm having a strange problem in my current game. I was using the strategy where you trade with a minor race for all the techs they have and all their money, and then immediately after defeat them before they have a chance to trade it to anyone else (cruel, I know...). Just in case, I saved my game, and then I traded with the minor race. It was going great, I talked with them and got all of their technology and all their money in exchange for some of my own technologies. Imm
I'm still playing. I go back an forth a lot. I'll play a game or two (which can take weeks or more) and then I'll go play something else for a while, but I love this game and I always seem to come back to it! [e digicons]-_-[/e]
Hello all! I wanted to tell you all how much I'm enjoying reading this play-by-committee! I hope you don't mind me posting here, as I didn't want to clutter up the game thread. Thanks all!
I'm 32. My body feels more like 60, but I'm an 8 year old kid at heart. I don't wanna grow up!!! :(
Ya know what, I did the same thing last year. I had used Outlook almost as long as you. I even ran my own Exchange server at home to handle my personal domain's e-mail. Then I started playing with Google, and it just made so much more sense. I was able to copy all of my old e-mail into Google and just keep going like nothing ever happened. I don't have a Droid yet, but I want one VERY badly. That was one of the reasons I started looking at Gmail in the first place. I fi
I look forward to seeing what updates you will be working on! Thanks for getting back to us this topic!
Hey all! I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place or not, so if I'm wrong I apologize. I have installed GalCiv2 with my Impulse account. I know there is an option to archive the install so I can save it off somewhere and re-install it without having to download it again. I'm just curious if I have any mods or anything like that if they will be in the archive. I have created some custom races and a custom ship style, and it would be great if those carried over with an archiv

Hello all! I only have one Metaverse character, and he has been a member of the Kzinti Empire for a while. I was looking for the Empire's forums, and I tried to go to the link and it says I do not have access. How would I gain access to this forum? I wanted to ask a few questions. If this is posted in the wrong place, I apologize. Thanks all!
[quote who="BvBPL" reply="63" id="2630488"]This will create automated sensor platforms that also make you money. Very helpful for keeping track of other empires. This can also be done by upgrading the minifreighters.[/quote] Genius!
That does make sense about the movies. I did just look and noticed that none of the pre-packaged minors had them. Using this same method of editing the RaceConfig.xml file, can I create more major races? It would be kind of cool to start a game with X number of random opponents and see some of my own custom races show up. I have a feeling that would take a bit more modding though than just changing an XML file! :) Thanks for all your help!
OK, I played around with this today and I got some of it to work, but not all. I edited my RaceConfig.xml and I copied the Snathi, just for a starting point. I pasted the Snathi section to the end of the file, and changed the to be one more than the last one in the file. I did this multiple times, adding about 8 custom minor races to the file. For each one I incremented the by one. I started a new game with cheats enabled, and set it up to
That does help! I wasn't sure if I could just add as many as I wanted or if there was a limit. Thank you very much!
Hello all! This is my first post in the Modding section, so please be gentle! I want to add a few new minor races to my game. I have race portraits and logos ready to go, along with names and everything. Can I just go into the RaceConfig.xml, copy an existing minor race (like the Akilians, for example), change some names around, and paste as many as I want into the file? I see each race has a RaceID, so I'm guessing I'd have to change that to something unique. Is there anythin

[quote who="jaepikay" reply="2" id="2596203"]Ah gotcha. Thanks! I'll just have to do an aural cross referencing then between the disc and the game folder. I'll post up the compiled results here for others' reference and upload the track list to CDDB.[/quote] This would be great. I don't have the actual disc since I've been playing a while and didn't buy the Ultimate Edition (since I had the game already). However, all the music is in .mp3 files in the program install
Thanks for the help! I've tried the all-factory strategy before, but I think I was doing it all wrong! I'll give this a try next time.
