[quote who="MarvinKosh" reply="5" id="3391578"] I think that you need to remember that because a supernova is a normal-space phenomenon, it wouldn't take very long for the planets in the same system to feel the effects, but it would take years for planets in other sectors to be affected.[/quote] Good point there. but what I was thinking recently is that stars above a set size always produce black-holes and a gama-ray burst that moves 1 sector every 2 turns for a smal

[quote who="Embird" reply="3356" id="3391198"] Galacticruler5000 . Already bought the Toshiba all in one. But thanks for the offer. Unfortunate it has WIn8. [hr] If not then we will be getting rid of Win8 and installing Win7. Maybe a dual boot system would be the answer ?[/quote] Hmmm....might want to either sell or return it then if Fail8. if you ever do decide to switch: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?It

[quote who="Aerion Istari" reply="701" id="3391018"] I started out being impressed with this mob until I noticed the lack of farms. I played a couple hundred turns figuring I just needed to research the right tech. When I finally realized no farms were forthcoming, I quit the game and headed here to verify my suspicions. Nice mod but the lack of farms is a show stopper for me. I want more control over the population of a planet than the one-size-fits-all solution

All valid points. I'll redownload it again some time in the future, so don't go deleting it. [quote who="InfrequentHazard" reply="3" id="3390511"] Only 15? You're a tough critic. I think at least 20 are completely fantastic. Thank you, anyway.[/quote] the toughest. [quote who="InfrequentHazard" reply="3" id="3390511"]Thank you, anyway.[/quote] You're welcome sir.

Alright. some things I noticed: 1. some look lego-ish 2. some look well for the GC:II art style 3. most were...weird at best. 4. a few designs looked like they were either: A: Cannibalized from http://www.i-mod-productions.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=127 OR B: they stole those from you(or that was you.) 5. the recolors were not needed, and can be easily done.</p

[quote who="Embird" reply="3353" id="3389771"] I can't be bothered searching the site.....is there any sign of Gal Cicv3 ? [/quote] Nope. [quote who="Embird" reply="3353" id="3389771"] We are thinking of buying one of those All In one computers. I like the look of the Tsohiba...It looks like an Apple. [/quote] I might be able to advise a good custom build if I knew a budget.

It is just one of my custom races, the others are 100% fine (however coated in TODO: DISPLAY NAMEs). I'll be going through my tech tree over the next few games with thier gigantic research bonus and checking the techs.

[quote who="Cerberus_Z" reply="247" id="3388721"] Yes absolutely[/quote] What need was there to necro this? but while I am here: Yes, but only if that was not the focus of the expansion.

From what I understand the library is broken and no longer being added to, as I've seen no new stuff...ever, only things from back ~5+ years ago... A better idea would be to upload it to Mediafire and give it out here.

[quote who="MarvinKosh" reply="10" id="3388660"] I'm fairly sure that there is a backup of the data files.

However I found the issue, if the tech has a requirement not found in that tech tree it locks it and snaps the requirement line to the tech before that. Lots of debugging in my future, and even more balancing. [quote who="Gaunathor" reply="8" id="3388416"] In that ca

Playing the campaign has no effect on a regular game. The only cause for this, that I can think of, is an error in the mod. Disable or remove all mods, start a new game, and see if it still happens.[/quote] That won't help. I found out last month that I had been editing the ToTA base game files for

[quote who="Gaunathor" reply="4" id="3388365"] It is normal for the tech tree in the DL campaign to be limited. The only way to change that is to edit the scenario-files for that campaign.[/quote] Its sectioned off in normal skirmish/random map games, not the campaign.

Alright, still no fix for the requirements of ECM and Adamantium, but now another issue. HOW DO I TURN OFF THE CAMPAIGN LOCKS?!?!!? I played the DL first mission and now 90% of the tech tree is sectioned off. [e digicons]:annoyed:[/e]

[quote who="MarvinKosh" reply="1" id="3388292"] Probably because Gamestop applies a force similar to a black hole. Personally, although I have GalCiv 2 installed already, I have no idea if I would be able to re-download it from them if it became necessary. [/quote] You should be able to migrate it to steam. Don't worry about their "DRM", it is barely noticeable and still allows offline play without launching steam.

thanks for that link, I'll get back to you with the results. also, I use Tolmekian's TechTree Fix v3.51, so some techs/their derivatives were removed, and this tech tree copied the entire techtree.xml and removed those that were not needed.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/j1EQa2Z.jpg[/IMG] I've defined Duralthene as the requirement for Adamantium Armor, yet as it shows above it seems permanently attached to Superior Tri-Stronium with ECM it is glued to Missile Defense Theory when I've defined Smart Chaff as the requirement. Please help me out here, I'm at wits end.

Low ping numbers are better, higher numbers show that it takes longer in miliseconds to reach the server in question. There are a few ways to deal with slow connection due to being cheated by a company. 1. Call an complain and threaten to switch companies 2. sue them (won't be likely to win) 3. Call and have your connection evaluated, it might be that it is broken or damaged. 4. Call and ask what your MBs cap is, and if you have excee

[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="4" id="3387289"] Well one answer is that you'll only get the speed that the website you're visiting affords you. As for wired versus wireless? I get similar results either way, as follows: Wired PC: -snip- Laptop wireless: -snop- [/quote] I pay too much for: [img]http://www.speedtest.net/result/2884803147.png[/img]

Speedtest.net as the above said. Generally everyone overpays for substandard performance. And in response to Greg30007 's idea, for wireless go for a Dual-Band Wireless N router/card, or a newer one that is not Wireless G or B.

Also, don't forget to check the added parts for a tech requirement...

Mods folder, default, GFX, Models, dump textures (and models) there Mods folder, default, GFX, Thumbnails, dump thumbnails there Mods folder, default, Data, new .txt, paste new part definition, save as..., NAME.Xml(select all types so it save right)(Or copy GC2Types.XML, open in note pad and dtop the stuff in it then move the copy to the mods data folder, and remove the "- Copy" from it.) launch game, shipyard, new/upgrade, enjoy!

[quote who="Gaunathor" reply="2" id="3384938"] Quoting DivineWrath, reply 1 The big thing I'm worried about, and is likely to come to pass, is that GalCiv 3 will require Steam. I don't like Steam and I don't trust them. What can even be worse is if they intergrate some of these fancy Steam features so it can't ever be run without Steam. That's what I'm afraid of, too. While I tried Steam for a while, I haven't touched it in about two ye

Yes it is. Take the photo, make sure it fits reasonably within the 256x256 confines without much distortion, save that as a .png, move it to: C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\My Games\GC2TwilightArnor\Gfx\Portraits

Well, GalCiv2UE is great, but for GC3, I'd like to see the following: 1. A change in file types: .X, .XML and .PNG are all great, but there are better file types out there, I suggest the use of .TGA(compressed), .INI and some other model type that can be re-opened in blender (.x files can be exported but not imported.). 2. Don't forget the little guy: Even if it is a newer game, please don't forget most people cannot shell out $800 on a new PC to run
