I gotta say, Ive always loved object dock...its one of the few add ons that I use 100% of the time. I too an running Win7 64bit and really see no compelling reason to upgrade. Maybe Ver3?
Thank goodness Chris Taylor is here to tell me why I didn't buy Crysis! Here I thought it was because it was a bland game with insane system spec requirements that was widely greeted with apathetic underwhelming 'ehh' Only now do I realize that it was because I wanted to steal the game...I can't beleive Ive been so stupid and lazy...I've got to get on those torrent sites straight away before I remember that [B][color="#FF0000"]I don't care about Crysis [/color][/B]at all and am deeply
Yes, I took the ships out of the Trek mod and use them for regular games. I dont use the actual ships, just the models to make them look trek, so the game plays the same, just has trek ships. Takes a bit of editing the files, but works great. You just need to edit a few XML files. What I did was take the KHSM fake terran hull files, and paste in the startrek edited startrek hull info. You need to change the XML file so that the {hull} and {/hull} are changed to {structure} and {/
These forums are for the benefit and aid of the Galactic Civilizations community. While Im very sure that many off topic subjects abound, and there are even forums designated for other things, in the end, it is all for a community of gamers, game devs etc. Overty political, and/or inflamitory posts are bound to be delt with quickly, and with good reason. Ask yourself, does this post add anything to the community? Does this post, and or its subject line contain inflmatory bu
I personally love multiplayer games, however, this type of game doesnt lend itself to it. It can be done for sure, but its just not the same game when you do it (and I dont mean that it would be better). Since turns take upwards of several minuets each at some points, and just seconds at other points, depending on just where your empire is, you end up with one or more players waiting what will seem like an eternity for them.
For my 2¢ Its neat seeing the glory and 3d battles and all, but in the end is is 100% eye candy with no real representation of actual goings on, just we get to see the numbers being crunched. That said, I would like to see a bit more control, but not down to the Moo2 level (that was insanity). Here are my silly ideas for a game thats likely several years away...LOL Free camera (with presets of course) but I want a much larger starfield/battlefield area, with complet
Is it still the ultimate space speadsheet simulator?

Wolf 3d would scare the living crap outa me waaaaayyy back when. Sure it looks cartoonish now, but back then it was amazingly realaitic, and like a good book...your mind filled in the rest. You'd walk down a hall, and a blue german would jump out and scream somthing...I swear, If I hadnt been so young, Id of died of a heart attack.
A carrier would be a way to quickly bring ships with no warp engins of their own into a far off system. You could just make them part of the 'fleet' thingy, and so the only real change is that a non warp drive enables ship would 'tag along' with the mothership. Interesting idea for sure.

A happy day for lovers of the Heroes of Might and Magic franchise, as it will now be released Starforce Free. I have no idea what the final straw was that gave UBI the push it needed, but all the negative attention receiently must have been a factor.
PLAYER REVIEW: Mike Mike is a pretty good player. When compared to all the other available players right now, he isnt exaclty state of the art, but he certainly holds his own. Unpatched he tends to drink a bit too much beer, and has been known to play poker causing some significant compatability issues with Jeanne. Fortunatly the HD Bigscreen patch seems to have reduced the frequency and severety of these issues. Mike has been known to
If everyone starts buying direct from the game publishers, we can cut out the retail middleman and avoid the issue you have now with the game publisher not being able to pass on any savings for fear of upsetting the retail apple cart. Until game makers can truely stop selling in retail without slashing the total units sold it isnt going to get any better.
That is the one big feature I wish Galciv2 had that many modern stategy games have, personas to assign. It lends a real feeling of control, but more importantly it grounds an otherwise ambiguous set of strategic resources with a person, and a name. I just lost my +5 fleet with battleship x or I just lost my fleet and with it Admiral Fergalon and his flagship
The world is moving to the download model for software. It just make so much more economic sense, for the game developers especially. The last hurdle they need to overcome is the issue with 'we cant upset up retail partners' which translates into 'you get no manual or extras, we dont have to pay for shelf space, boxes etc, you pay the same price' It is the last major hurdle we need to clear. Id buy ALL of my software thru download, except

Galactic Civ 2 has been 95% stable for me for months. The BETA crashed to desktop on me about once every 5-10 hours of play. Even in its semi finished state it is entertaining. Not to sound like a Fanboy, but so far GalCiv2 rocks!!!! CIV4 well thats another matter entirely: "Freeze/Crash/Reboot (Multi-page thread 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10)" 140 + post thread from Civ4 Tech supoprt forum, one of the very longest threadds
If thats true its total SUCKAGE. They updated stardock central which then promptly DELETED my previous install when I tried to get the latest beta......then for 2-3 days it would download but get an error unpacking, and now its 100% gone. I hope its just down to get it fixed to download corretly again. I sure dont want to be amoung to three million other people pounding their servers on release day.....at 1.2 kbs I <img src="smiles/Ma
I sell mortgages...need one? LOL Just giving everyone a heads up that Laser Printer prices now make printing your own manuals a reasonable, possibly preferable alternative to a print shop....heck I found one at Staples that was $79 after rebate...but alas it was usb 1...and I hate rebates
C:\Documents and Settings\whatever your name is\My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2 Go to that folder (may be slightly different on your system of course....but basically doc and settings....you.....your docs....games....galciv2 DELETE the Prefs.ini and/or CurrentCustomRace.raceconfig Tada!!! I ran into your same issue, when I saw your post about reinstalling not helping I realized there must be some fi
With so many games now having massive PDF files, and much of the future being online distrobution (Ive bought more online distros than box software in the past 12 months), it became clear that a good cheap laser printer was a good thing to have. Now that they can be had for under $150.00 (without any evil rebates) and they print fast and two-three thousand pages for ~$60, its no contest between an inkjet and certainly beats paying Kinkos! S
In the end, those inconvenienced by streaming audio tend to be in the minority. If those hating the method were anywhere near a majority, then streaming would have been done away with ages ago. I suppose youve never heard of Podcasting, 20,000 podcasts, and they went from obscurity to prominence in li
Unadapted? Abrupt and with political correctness on indefinet hold yes. When I see somthing that out of touch Im going to point and call it out, I think its stupid and I think the person responsible for the decision made a big mistake not considering the huge benefit of having the files easily downloadable would bring over the cumbersome ineffective streaming used.....I mean, if I want to I could stream it into an mp3/wav or any other file format I w
Perhaps we can get apolyton.net out of the Sony DRM dark ages and get DOWNLOADABLE AUDIO for the interviews. For craps sake, who though this stupidity up? As a long time supporter of Stardock, it pains me each time I see this kind of short sighted ignorance. You think they ever heard of the portable MP3 player? Maybe they want to be sure almost noone listens......really disapointingly pathetic
