Interesting. For what ever reason, TA won't let me use mods from GalCiv2\Twilight\Mods\ It only allows to me to look in GalCiv2\Mods\ for a mod. Does this occur with you?

Mega Event weirdness in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I have had some odd mega event behavior in my last game. While playing on a Small map, Normal AI, Custom Civ usuing the Yor Techtree Against the Humans and Altarian, I got the Disease Mega Event. The Event WND stated I needed to research Xeno Medicine to find a cure. From experience I knew I needed to get Disease Cure after that. There is no Xeno Medicine in the Tree. I had to trade for it.

The New textures and shipyard organization. I know everything else is awesome, but every thing I found remotely inconveinent or annoying was fixed in the shipyard and new features were added (animation!) that I never though of. Amazing job!

3 things I've noticed: - When starting as a custom race in a new game, I can que up a colony ship on "Turn 0" (approx 26 turns to build), Save the game, Exit, restart, and load the game and the Colony ship will be at "0 weeks left" and will build on turn 1. This sounds familiar, was there a quirk like this in DA? - After fooling around/exploring the tech tree, in certian instances the "TURN" button will disappear to be left with a grey blank button. - The

Well, Spring is finally here and looks like its gonna stay. With all the nice weather and school ending for the summer in the next 1-2 months, it seems we'll have plenty of free time to tackle some home projects and spend it with the family. With this extra time (actually more like all this warm weather), I can finially get some projects around the apartment started and finally get some stuff done like.... uhh.... um..... some stuff... yeah...

Reply to X3: Terran Conflict in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

Perhaps is has to do with the fact that X3:Reunion was supposed to be an expansion to x2. To me that why I feel X3 felt unfinished as is was essentially X2 with new graphics and a few new feautures. If they are really building X3TC from the ground up, I can only hope they'll fix a lot of the shortcommings. Perhaps I was spoiled by growing up on x-wing and tie-fighter, but I really felt that a lot of the X interface , especially in teh cockpit was just.. half baked. I mean being able to

[link="http://www.nliteos.com/"nLite Site"[/link] Hey that rhymes. nLite is a utility that can take an original XP install disk, and allows you to us it to make a new custom XP install disk. You can add the Service Packs, Drivers, Programs, etc. You can also remove Items, services, etc from it to reduce the amount of crap added to your computer. The process is called Slipstreaming. It takes a little while, logistically speaking, as you need to g

I really do hope so. Several of us mentioned it in the DevNet quite some time ago. Being able to do a lot of the simple task managing with the mouse, would be amazing. I also kinda dream of treating the cockpit like a windows desktop. I mean, some of the instrumentation boxes already have the X on them to close. Why not be able to drag them around to arrange the cockpits you our liking?

Yeah, Nlite is my hero when I do my "clean out an' reinstall the OS fest" every year or so. I wish I had known about it earlier when I first put together the computer, sigh.

I've been a huge X fan and actually have every game. They were great games. That said, I'm refuing to buy X3:TC untilI actually see the entire game in action. I think that the game mechanics are for the most part awesome. Its heavily based on Elite and has great core gameplay. You can do everything you've wanted in space, from hunting pirates to owning cruisers and space stations. The graphics are also very very sweet and the sound isn't bad. there's a tons of places t

Agreed. Ang great... I just bought Bioshock. I loved SS2. I'm planning on saving it till the summer when I have more alone time/boredom while the wife is out of the country for 6 mos. So its past its return date to teh store as I've hade it for a couple of weeks now. Maybe by then, the puplisher will make a patch to fix the anti-piracy ware.

Yeah I meant the 3.5 floppy I have an original OEM xp Pro disk. When I installed it on my Motherboard (w/ an nforce 570 chipset), I needed to use a floppy drive to install the SATA/RAID drivers. This was because the generic Drivers that XP shipped with didn't work with the newer hardware, hence I needed the floppy. Otherwise, XP couldn't see my harddrive, lol. As Far as I know this was limited to Nforce boards and its more of a one-time installing XP problem, as the XP install

Aye, not to mention stability problems with that much RAM. I would suppose that XP would recognize more DDR2 due to the nature of the memory controller (new and imporved over DDR!). Now, I know windows will see the extra RAM, but will it make use of it? By that I mean when running an app, can you actually fill more than 2.25GB or does it top out at 2.25 and leave the rest sitting there? Oh yeah, g00berhead - buy a floppy drive. If for whatever reason, you use sepcial drive

Reply to Building my first computer in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

yes, that's the problem w/ using more than 2gb with standard XP. It really doesn't make good use of the extra RAM. In some cases, it will see it, but It won't (can 't) use it.

Speaking of Blu-ray... I noticed you didn't mention optical drives in your OP. I personally feel Blu-ray is just too expensive at the moment to justify buying one for your new rig. I know it isn't as cool, but it might be better buying a good DVD burner and buying a Bluray drive later - once the price has come down and there's a little more selection. Of course that a very personal decision - If you own or plan to watch a lot of Bluray movies via your computer it might be worth it.<
