Reply to Station Designing in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

So basically we make a ship that looks like a starbase and copy over a starbase we find icky and the starbase will from then on look like that ship design? If I understood what you said, Kryo. But now the question I have to ask is, how does the adding of module's affect the look or do they not show up? Kyle (who is currently designing starbases in his mind)

Reply to Ships range in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Ok, go a new idea I'm working on. Setting it so the life support techs give only a small amount of range (5,10,15,and 20). Then to add to it I'm going to increase the life support componants slightly to make them worth while... I'll test it out as soon as I find the file that has the componants and their abilities. Kyle

Reply to DA Minor Issues... in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I think goes along with the little glitch I found earlier. A tile that looks like an ocean would show up as a mountian or desert or any of the other choices. Seems like a mismatch with whatever files control the planet layouts. Kyle

Reply to Ships range in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

It's the one in galciv2\DarkAvatar\Data\English so unless the game is loading a differant one then I'm pretty sure. I was thinking that I was editing the backups I made but doesn't look like it. It's been awhile sense I played a long game so it might work like this, but this is what I'm looking for. Ships range is very low at start but as you train in the life support tech line it increases alittle but the life support ship componants add to the ships range. Would be pretty cool if

Map builder/editor/making in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Take your pick of what it's called, the question is, is anyone working on one that works with DA? I used to use the GC2Builder but that hasn't been updated for along time so I'm not counting on it getting a face lift. I have this great map of earth and her nearest 300 stars that I'd love to use in a DA game but sense it was made months ago it's got no astroids so need an updated map maker to fix it and add in astroids. That and I'm SICK of being in near the edge. I've generat

Reply to Ships range in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I'm perlexed now. I first changed every race to have range -10, then didn't see a change so went down to -500 and there was still no change in how far my ship could go. Tried putting in a tech with -100 and gave it to everyone and no change...

Reply to Ships range in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I was thinking about lowering the range value in the racesconfig file but after seeing them at 0 I gave up that idea. Didn't think that I could give it a negative value. I'll give that a shot, thanks for the reply.. I didn't think about adding in a tech, I'll try that one to. Kyle

Reply to Whatever happened to Epic Story?? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Good that there is a plan to go back to it someday. Was going to get DA anyway but it was one of the biggest things I wanted. I like to have stories. Guess for now I'll still be writing it out by hand and typing it up after I play

How do you mod it so minor civs can colonize and invade planets?

Ships range in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

One of the problems I've always seen with the game is that your ships range was SO huge. I hadn't played in awhile and now that DA is out I fired up the game and... noticed that my ships have a range almost half the map on gigantic! That's from the begining with just the basic ship range! Sense Gigantic is the biggest map we can get how would I go about lowering the ships range so you actually have to research it 100% to get a quarter of the galaxy if you just have 1 system left?

Little bug, error, thing in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Nothing big or major, I've just noticed that the planet squares you can build on have the wrong type. Example, an area deep on the continate could be labeled as "ocean" or a water square could be labeled as "prairy" (or how ever it's spelt). Nothing that's a game breaker but just a little emmersion glitch. Kyle

Reply to ANy new info on Ground Forces and epic story generator in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Yeah, agree with the last poster. One of the biggest selling points for me was the Epic Story Generator and until just now I didn't know it's been scratched. Had an idea though when I couldn't find anything in the manual or in the game about it. Looks like it's back to writing it all down by hand again.... Kyle

For the record, those that pre-ordered in time to get into the beta have already been charged. I say those that pre-ordered it the day pre-orders were avaliable should get to DL it now, but that's just my thought on the subject .

It's one of the features I've alwayes liked from Space Empires. Have it put in just like in SE and it's golden. Makes it more fun for mods to... want a Star Trek mod?

Reply to Namegen for ships in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I'm all for this, something that always bugged me. I have no problem naming my ships, just do it as soon as it's built, but the AI with it's generic names kills the emmersion. An extra option to the race details screen that defaults it to a certain name list. Not only name lists add to or remove from but also being able to add whole new name lists for our custom races... I really like this... if it doesn't get added maybe it's moddable? Kyle

Reply to Galaxy size in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Thanks danielost, I guess I should have said an option for i... oh wait I did. Maybe I should have said an option for those of us that want it but to let it be unchecked for those that don't want it. I don't know why people say not to do an option because they don't want to use it or their computer can't handle it. Anyway, I want huge maps with 4515681351 stars and up to 1000000 planets and moons each

Galaxy size in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Any word on if we'll have the option to have a huge or gigantic galaxy that's 2 or 3 times larger then it is now? I don't know about ya'll but I LOVE HUGE maps with lots of room to expand and not seeing my first opponant for several turns instead of the next. Ok, thanks all, where's the beta... wanna beta... rool: Kyle

Reply to GalCiv II v1.1 Dev log in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

To tired to read all the replies so if it's already asked I'm sorry. Can we have options to give more life to the minor civs? To let them colonize, fight, invade and take over planets and even become galactic powers recongnized and admited into the United Planets? That would be so cool if it can happen, I'm really excited about the changes to the ship builder. Kyle
