Reply to Next Generation Strategy Games are coming: Oxide’s Nitrous! in PC Gaming GalCiv3 Forums

Wait... YOU guys are behind Oxide? And there I was, thinking - finally someone else is stepping up as well. Ah well. Exciting nevertheless. I loved the AMD demo. Can't wait.

Reply to Suggestion: Put more stuff in space. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

What nomotog said. I did think of orbiting planets, but rejected it due to the square grid. Didn't know about the hex map. Now it's possible and highly advise-able as well. And in light of the hex grid, I doubt we'll see separate star system levels. There's no point really. What we could see is buildable as asteroids and moo

Suggestion: Put more stuff in space. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

This is a really simple one. The long rant is below. PUT MORE STUFF IN SPACE. In GC2 the map was basically empty and immutable - there were a total of 5 objects: Suns, planets, asteroids, anomalies and ships, 3 of which were completely static(excluding the gimicky death star). And yet on the scales GC purports to operate, there is SO MUCH STUFF in space. Nebulas to hide starbases, or from which pirates can peste

So what, we'll start having specialist economies vs cott... oh sorry planetary economies. I do love the idea though. There's also a ton of other things I'd like to see. I wonder how far along the development the game is.

Sensor Range Cap? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Why is there a sensor range cap? Is there a way to remove it or work around it? I just tried to create myself a sensor satellite and it appears I have failed miserably due to no fault of my own.

You see. Here's one game that would have SERIOUSLY benefited from a 64 bit release(or at least a more optimized 32 bit one). Go figure...

Reply to Modding out a bug midgame in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Yea, well, there's also a bit in there that says where to find the data used by the savegame which makes all the other bits superfluous.

Reply to Modding out a bug midgame in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I actually have a little save game structures description project that's been going on and off for a couple of years now. It's not very much, but I've pretty much got civs and planets down pat. Useful for experiments(and cheating). One time I tried playing dreadlord style - just 1 planet with uber-stats against the whole galaxy. It was fun :) But yea, save games save a lot of useless info in there. I mean, it saves the entire damn tech and improvement tree,

Explanation of the map setup/galaxy settings in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

So I've never seen this explained anywhere. The most confusing part is specifically the celestial bodies settings. In precise terms the question is: What is a subset of what? I think "Number of Planets" is governed by "Number of Stars". It would also be logical for "Habitable Planets" to be a subset of "Number of Planets". However beyond that I'm clueless. Is the number of extreme planets based on total planet count or hab

There are far easier ways to cheat if that's the objective you know.... Stuff like memory and/or savegame editors. :)

Reply to Components requiring other components? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

But there are only tech requirement fields in GC2Types. For this to work it either needs to require another component, or more than one tech. And besides its easier to get a definitive answer here than go around poking stuff that may not, but is most likely hardcoded anyway.

Components requiring other components? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Is it possible to make a ship component require another component to be placed first? Or something to that effect. For example can I mix and match properties - like making making an engine give HP bonuses or a weapon giving speed bonuses? That would also serve the purpose even if it is a crude workaround for component prereq's. I have certain ideas about making a mod that would need that sort functionality.

I think I didn't have a mod folder when I went there first. Eh well, at least I'm not the only one. :) Good at least that I discovered it, if only by accident. :P

New development: I managed to enable it. The thing is, I didn't know I could enable it because the dialog where you choose mods has a blank space where the mod should be: [img]http://store.picbg.net/pubpic/2F/71/09b6d0f93faf2f71.png[/img] Any ideas why?

How would I do that? Following included instructions does not work. Tweaking the prefs also didn't do much... Any tips appreciated...

How do planet options work exactly? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

1. Are these options linked at all? 2. If they are(I sincerely hope so), what is the order in which the galaxy is created? Like for example - stars are common, among these stars, planets are abundant, among that set of planets habitable ones are occasional and among the habitables the extremes are uncommon. Or is there another order?

Dumb luck or design flaw... in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

I have a situation here kinda.... Which left me all staring at the monitor when it happened. So - I play Terrans on a small map with Altarians, Korx and Drengi. Have won the initial colony race, gone all nice and cultural, forged an alliance with the altarians, and am pretty close with the Korx and somewhat with the Drengi too. A pretty nice picture there. Until all hell broke loose! Gradually but, still at the end it just went over the top. All started with the altari
