RavenX

Yeah that thing has been off for a while now. I would guess the numbers in place might be placeholders or somewhere along the lines things aren't being calculated. Then again maybe it's saying the Sovereign's age is 0 or 1 on turn 1? Could be a couple of different things really.

[quote who="Lord_Agamemnon" reply="19" id="2704135"]Am I missing something here? I copy-pasted the XML code (removing the line numbers/# signs) and saved the file as "LA_MapSizes.xml". I put it into My Games\Elemental\Units, and have "Use mods" checked in the Options menu. Yet when I go to the map editor, only the standard sizes appear--this one doesn't. Are there any other settings I have to mess around with? [/quote] Which one did you copy? Here'

Saw this and thought it was funny as hell. Enjoy :)

I never said eye strain wasn't a problem for some people Tridus, give it a rest man, please.

Have you tried making a tactical map version of the unit in question only with a smaller scale? It might mean making a new unit xml and copying the unit in question, renaming it, and changing the scale (plus adding the other needed pieces of making a new unit). It's quite possible changing the unit scale only affects it's map size as well. Honestly I'm not sure. It would be cool if we could use this to make races like halflings and giants though without the need to make a new model fo

[quote who="kyogre12" reply="5" id="2703963"] Yep! Still waiting for the Twitter to come back, but I suspect Boogie is just a little too busy to do it for now, what with all that stuff about actually making the game and all And yes, hopefully this will get stickied in the near future. Please? [/quote] Try hitting them up on M.i.r.c. or Skype.

Great Guide, Nitey47. Well done indeed. Karma for you :)

[quote who="Wizard1956" reply="15" id="2703897"] what's to stop one of their disgruntled or dishonest employees from browsing through any financial files someone might put in there because they think it's "secure" ? One word....encryption. [/quote] Good point! I didn't think of that honestly as I wouldn't think it would be necessary on a "secure" server. Most normal uses don't think about it either I would think. When I say normal I'm thinking about som

[quote who="Wintersong" reply="16" id="2703679"] Quoting Frogboy, reply 6 Yes. In an XML editor. He is only saying XML editor and not "also in XML editor". And I haven't read anywhere else "We have moved the faction creation screen to the Workshop". [/quote] Do you remember what Frogboy said a while back about about Not getting rid of Content they already had? We did have a UI/Screen for Faction Creation. I'm sure when the full game la

I like the white text on grey (current quote box look). How about we think about making that the basic background color. It's not black or dark which shouldn't cause eye strain for some people, and it doesn't look like baby crap and make me not want to even look at the forums (which is a big plus).

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="66" id="2704006"] Over-all though I was trying to set a tone that all of us could be mature about the issue. By using a bunch of all caps, telling Bara to "fix the damn thing", and attempt to belittle other people's issues with color scheme? If you'd actually read the thread, most of the complaints weren't about "personal taste" in colors, it was about the physical side effects of eye strain and reading dark on dark, which you pla

[quote who="GW Swicord" reply="22" id="2704003"] P.S. We have a "Colors too Dark Whinner Thread" already. Spam much? This thread should be locked and deleted. You could at least spell well when you insult folks, you whinger. More importantly, Stardock is clearly interested in constructive critiques from customers and willing to make their own calls about when things go too far. Note Bara's diligence in these two related threads. [/quote] lol Note: Th

[quote who="GunslingerBara" reply="7" id="2703999"]I will not be implementing a color scheme switcher of any kind in the near future due to time constraints. However, if you have any suggestions for the current Elemental color scheme that you'd like to see changed let me know and I'll take a look. The fact that it's "baby poo"-colored doesn't make it any less usable Bara [/quote] Less usable, I agree, that's true from a technical standpoint. That's also fr

[quote who="GunslingerBara" reply="19" id="2703907"]I've resolved the issue with the logo on IE7 and IE8 (with compatibility mode on). I've also changed the colors around a bit. The backgrounds are a bit more golden/brownish and the text is a bit more yellow. Thanks to Das123 for the suggestions Bara [/quote] Awesome stuff!! Much better. You rock, brother [e digicons]B)[/e] .

[quote who="Wintersong" reply="5" id="2703989"]Not everything is [/quote] LoL That looks Awesome, Winter :)

[quote who="Tridus" reply="61" id="2703978"] Or it could be that the Sins forum is bright white on black, and the GalCiv2 forums are also bright white on black. The Elemental forums were dark grey on black, followed by lighter grey on black. [/quote] The text here as always looked black to me. It doesn't look grey, which is why I didn't get what people were saying about grey text. I just figured they were using another browser than I was. [quote who="Tridus" reply="6

[quote who="Razgon" reply="2" id="2703969"]I'd still say there should be colorscheme option, so that everyone, RavenX included can be happy. As I said elsewhere, its not that difficult in theory at least to implement. [/quote] I'd agree that would be the best option. It's probably something we'll have to give them time to work on though.

[quote who="B G P Hughes" reply="107" id="2703956"]Appears I am blind. Motivated keep posting! [/quote] NP my friend. We all make mistakes from time to time. Keep those ideas coming!! :)

And before anyone complains that we have a thread about this already, No, we don't have a Thread that Specifically complains about the Yellow/Brownish color. Seeing as how the color was changed I think it deserves a New Thread to contemplate a New Color Change.

Is it possible to get another color change to something that doesn't look like the consistency of baby poo? Even a Flat Gray color would be better IMO. I'm not saying it has to or should go back to black (even though I thought that was cooler) but this brownish yellow looks disgusting, seriously. Anyone else feel the same way?

[quote who="Tridus" reply="56" id="2703948"] Quoting Raven X, reply 54 I was pointing out that ALL of US should be mature enough not to down on other people because they do or don't like the new color scheme. So yeah, I expected Mature, Non-Hateful, replies...gee sorry Sorry, but I call shennanagins. The very first thing you said was this: Man, you guys are killing me. Who gives a shit about the color

Don't all of Stardock's websites have various color schemes to match the games the sites are for? Last time I checked the GalCiv 2 and Sins forums they both had black backgrounds and for some reason the forums are Still Very Active and you don't see a bunch of people complaining. WinCustomize has it's own color scheme too which is followed on That Site. I don't see the problem with the Elemental site being black while the WinCustomize site is white or blue or gray or whatever. If you don't li

P.S. The pinned posts didn't duplicate when they were replied to before. It's something new since the change.

[quote who="GunslingerBara" reply="6" id="2703912"] You don't need to post that in every topic. One was enough to get my attention I'm trying to remember if this was by design or if something is wrong. I think the pinned posts are just to keep specific posts always at the top, but when someone replies they show up in the regular list like any other post, so that they get visibility.

[quote who="Tridus" reply="51" id="2703918"] Just because something is common doesn't mean it's not technologically obsoelete. In terms of standards support and the UI, IE is absolute garbage. It's the worst browser on the planet.Corporate IT likes it because Corporate IT usually has badly written internal applications that require IE's proprietary or buggy behaviour to work, and they'd rather not spend the money to fix their stuff.
