Mass Effect mod, anyone interested? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Hi! I planned to make Halo mod but i trashed it as i lost my interest in Halo (I can lose my interest fast...) I started Mass Effect again and i thought that it'd make a great mod for GalCiv 2 (TA). So is anyone interested making one with me? I can do tech tree's and plan stuff. I don't know how to use 3dmodelling programs nor how to make textures. Making new models isn't necessary if someone can make ME styled ships using in game components. New effects are probably needed.<

Reply to Spore Creature creator (trial), installing it in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

...So only finnish version works on finnish Vista? Ok... but that doesn't explain why the finnish installer worked fine once and now it complains HD being possibly broken. EDIT here's the error message translated (hopefully) CRC-error File C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\SPORE\sporebin\SporeCreatureCreator.exe (sometimes it's \Data\CSA_Audio.package) doesn't match to installer's .cab file. The storage media may be damaged. Contact the program's provider.

Spore Creature creator (trial), installing it in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

I've got a ridiculous problem. I download Spore CC (trial version) few times, then at last the installer works. Downloaded it from official finnish spore site (i live in Finland) and the game's in finnish. Despite that i'm finnish, i hate games in finnish (i read all my books in english too) so i uninstall it. Now the real problem starts. I start DLing the frigging installer from diffenrent sites. Official UK, US and finnish Spore sites, and other dowloading sites. Problem is that no installe

Reply to What do you want to see in 2.0? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Diplomacy and UP overhaul. They should be more like in SMAC. And anyway better I think there should be a pact were the other race will become you vassal state, it'd be autonomous but you can influence what it does. Your obligation would be to protect it or something else. Surrendering civ would become one. Vassals could rebel etc...

I thought that i'd be able to change the name... didn't the mod that translated the game to german change all the names too? I'm not german so i don't obviosly use that. And as for the issues, i noticed the file soon after i post first post :/

Special planet type as homeworld? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Should've made one question topic for my questions but it's too late now... I think this has been answered but i can't find the answer with search or anything... Is possible to mod a homeplanet to be (for example) Aquatic world? I think that Torian world should be aquatic... i'd love to make it so. If it's not possible, could this be changed in 2.0?

AI and Terror Stars in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

I've played few TA games. Shortish ones. Only once i've used TS. A mop up operation. To be honest, TSs are pretty useless... cool but useless. But i'm going to play a long game. Maybe i'll find TS useful then. But one thing nags me...and prevents me starting the game... will the AI use Terror stars? If they don't, i'm going to be the victor (probably doesn't really matter but that'd make the game interesting). (I play challenging, max CPU usage on) For some reason i've feeling that they wo

Scenario editor... sigh... in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

I wouldn't call the editor scenario editor. You can't do anything with it. It's just for limiting techs, defining teams and having some special victory conditions. The editor is badly lacking. One cannot make events triggered by certain thing (go to sector x.y, multiple ships spawn for race a), one cannot disable UP with it... It's pretty much ruining my Halo mod project. How else i'm going to make my mod work? I meant to have some cool events and UP must be disabled. What the h

United planets in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Umm is it possible to change UP name and change the issues and what they do? If not, could those things be softcoded for 2.0 and make 'em moddable?

Reply to Slightly stupid random event in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Pirate event is pretty irritating. The bigger the galaxy and more planets, it sucks more. I had this event once, a small map (or medium with only few stars) and i crushed 'em mercilessy in few turns. I agree though that you just lose the planets... i mean if pirates got troop transports next to each planet they're going to take over, that way player'd chance to stop 'em. Jagged Knife is also pretty frustrating... I really hope the mega events would be moddable... Stard

Halo mod, help needed, plans here in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

PROJECT SCRAPPED I've lost my interest in Halo once again, Halo 3's multiplayer pissed me off once again and this mod didn't seem to raise any interest (no matter anymore) and due limited scenario editor and lack of races for sandbox games. I will leave this here, i may return to this in the future. I'm a Halo fan. I love GalCiv 2. I also like mods (dunno about modding as i've never done that exactly) Thus naturally i want a Halo mod for GalCiv (I propose is the subtitle). I pu

Reply to adding invasion tactics in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Hmm... What happens if you set planet quality penalty (that's what reduces planet's quality, right?) to min 100 (%) and max 100 (%)(effectivly reducing usable squares to zero)? And improvements destroyed too. Does that crash game?

Reply to Multiplayer Mod? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Sad... I'd love EMAIL game or hot seat without using cheats (i don't think that game is too unbalanced for MP.. it's a strategy game...) Can't be modded? Hmm... People modded MP to TES3 Morrowind... That didn't work well but they proved it's possible. So why not to this game? But i belive Cryo in this matter, but i can allways wish and hope.

Reply to Diplo victory - Is it unbalanced? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Who cares about diblo victory? I crush my oppnents allways... 'Till the game gets a lot better diplomacy and UP (similar to SMAC) ...I think getting diplo victory is too easy and as the AI can't do that (maybe everyone in the alliance is victor?) it's a bit boring too. Duh... why can't civs form coalitions/confederations etc.? Let's say Korath and Korx and Humans form alliance with each other and then they could form a confederation (let's call it Kohuko Confederation) and 4 o

Duh.... I read that there's a bug in this patch that has something to do with the ship components and a zip file to fix that... So long it will take to get a patch that doesn't require additional patching? I'm not going to play game with this patch... And i really wanted to try out TA Torians. Yes, it's a simple operation to apply the fix but I'm not going to do it... it's a principle. Good that Torians got the tech tree fix. ... When was 2.0 supposed to come out? An
