SDC Update Problem: AP 1.51.008 to 1.52b.013 in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I want to update my Altarian Prophecy installation from version 1.51.008 to version 1.52b.013 by using Stardock Central, but the program gives the following error message: There was an error auto archiving Galactic Civilizations - Altarian Prophecy. The following error occurred: Load: C:\Program Files\Stardock\SDCentral\installed\gcx.xml 0 (file not found) Result: Auto Archive failed (13) Would you like to continue with the installation of Galactic Civilizations -

Tricky questions for the experts: Tech-Tree Viewer & Invasion Tactics in Mods Stardock Forums

To all the dyed-in-the-wool GalCiv mod makers: I created some new techs with the GalCiv Writer (Thank you for that, HawaiiFive-O!) only to find out that the Tech-Tree Viewer in the game refuses to show the Required and Uncovered Techs. What went wrong? After that I tried a simple chain like: Comm Theory -> Tech1 -> Tech2, with the techIDs 500, 501, and 502, but that didn't work either. When taking a look at the Tech1 screen there was no sign of the Comm Theory tech (req) or the Tech2 te

Me again. HawaiiFive-O, about the ","/"." issue. It turns out to be a regional thing. On my PC the decimal symbol is a comma instead of a point. Problem solved! Sorry for the bug alert. Have a nice day! ;) ~SDC~

[/quote] Lothmorg the Red you're right! :D The GalCiv Writer turns the values into #,0 instead of #.0 as it should be. HawaiiFive-O, I hope you will find the time to look into this matter. I think it's a very small bug. ~SDC~

[quote]#94 by Citizen porwig - 9/15/2003 12:52:51 PM I would happily pay $20 for a premium expansion pack. GalCiv is a great game and the level of developer support has been oustanding, easily surpassing that of any other game I have purchased.paul[/quote] I'am with Paul. Keep up the good work Stardock. I love the game, and I love to see more of it! :D ~SDC~

[quote]Try 2.0 instead of 2,0.[/quote] I gave it a shot, but the Writer turns it into 20,0 automatically. Thanks for the suggestion though. ~SDC~

Hi HawaiiFive-O, I've been trying your GalCiv Writer and I must say, it looks really good! You did a great job. :D I've got two questions for ya. When making a new event is it ok to use 24/16M PCX images instead of 8/256 ones? Stardock seems to use those. If I have to reduce to number of colours it really ruins my event image. And the second question... I created an anomaly which should increase my survey ship's defenses by +2 points (Power=2,0), but when came across

CariElf, I used the old savegame to research the Excalibur Tech again, and it went wrong...again. After that I ended the game and looked in debug.err. There is no message telling me the Tech Excalibur Technology has no description. :notsure: Another thing, I researched "Galactic Domination Philosophy", and the info screen tells me this: "There is no such thing as evil. Only power. And now we can equip our star bases with the means to convince the galaxy to join up with us..

[quote]captain space:Unless you have a bug, there are icons for each of the capitals you can build.[/quote] No zorven , I don't have a bug. I do get system icons after building a Economic or a Manufacturing Capital. Even after building a Technological Capital. I saw the icon. But the Political has no icon. You should build one yourself, there simply is no icon. Maybe there's season for it, but don't know what it is. :notsure: Thanks for your reply. :) ~SDC~

After building a Political Capital I missed the system icon. Like you get when you build a Economical or a Manufacturing Capital. I'm not sure if you get one when you build a Technological Capital. Probably not. It would be nice if you could see if a particular star system has one of those buildings. This is especially interesting info when planning a strategy. For example when you're working on a cultural of a research victory. And a second thing, it would be nice if you could look up

Player Ranks??? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

In all I've submitted 4 games on the Metaverse now. Starting as Ensign, today I'm a Commander. So, I skipped two ranks. Why is that? Can someone tell me how those ranks work. Is it about total score? Just curious. ~SDC~

I spent some cash to unravel the mysteries of my "friends" the Torians and was surprised to find a button on the foreign polity screen I hadn't seen before. At the Stats page at the foot of the Abilities list I found the button "Total Routes:". ??? Where's that for? What does it do? Or better, what should it do? Because when I press it I return to my desktop. Game gone! A bug? Tell me where is it for??? I saved the savegame if you're interested. Oh before I forget, I'm playing version 1

Bugs Found in GalCiv 1.03A.057 in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

In the Research Screen the Technology Summaries sometimes doesn't seem to fit. For instance after researching Universal Translator the description falls partially off the screen. A missing scroll bar perhaps? The same thing with some descriptions of Starbase Upgrades. I can't give an example right away, but the one-line sentence seems to be too long sometimes. And guys (girls) thanx alot for a great game! :D Greeting from The Netherlands ~SDC~
