Gameplay enhancement ideas in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Hi, while enjoying the founders alpha from the very first, I more and more think about deep missing features. Here are my first ideas. Starbases - can't see the # of constructors currently pending inside from map view. I can see other ships, but no idea how many constr. are in, so I have to click-an-click-and-click every other turn. - no option to rearrange

Reply to Need help getting Civilization: A Call to Power to run on XP in PC Gaming Sins Forums

Hm...if i remember right, Call to Power ist based on DOS anyhow it was running in Windows 95 and ME. So, if you want to get it running the first idea is to run it in windows compatibility mode (right-click on the exe and define it in the properties). Second idea would be to run it in a DOS enviroment with [link="http://www.dosbox.com/"]DOS BOX[/link]. Last time i tried this with Ascendency on my WinXP 64 machine without any problem. Hope this will fix it.... Skukk

Reply to Can the militia have planet defenses? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Right, you could choose Militia out of the templates, but there is only a chance to have the Militia be the planet owner. So, one has to make a own template for this case otherwise it won't fire i guess. Anyone able to post a how-to?

Reply to Starsystem-to-starsystem in Sins Modding Sins Forums

All stars are connected to each other...besides you could manualy concept wormholes between planets of different star-systems with a editor. There are very good how-to's availible allready in the modding forum so i would not rewrite them now.

Reply to [MOD] Sins Plus (by Uzii) v1.3a Final in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Just coming back on the 'dead star' and the 'black hole' ideas...i made some thoughts about the basics. Dead Star This needs texture work to get a star without light or at least a barren-vulcanic like appearance with dimmed light. Use for this star is to create systems without colonizable planets or at least changable. Besides u could include a research plan for nuclear fusion to build a orbital to power the colony there. If it is possible to change look and stats of a planet by ins

Reply to 2nd ‘Campaignesque’ sins map released!! in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Thx the notice, Fandangdo. Lateley i found the missmatch...i tried the map in the custom map folder to not have to start game for every maptest and got minidump, while in the Galaxy folder of the game files it now worked after changing from 0 to 1.

Impressing map...catched me now arround 3 hours where i only planed a testing round ;) Looking forward to find out all those little goodies ins

[quote]I never installed any mods and yet I still got a couple of Mine dumps, Not sure if this is related but i lowered my graphic setting a tiny bit and havn't recieved any minidumps, maybe just dumb luck???[/quote] well...as far as i understand, the minidump error is a missmatch of memory assignment as well as when the game system detects a wrong code (maps, mods aso.) lowering your graphic settings might have helped for the first problem...try out some mods that are secure l

Hi Uzii, like your mod very much and thank you for the work u put in...mostly i do concentrade on mods that have SinsPlus integrated as it get's flower in the gameflow. Currently trying to do some maps including your planets and wondering if it is possible to 'mod' the stars either. Here i think about a 'dead star' so i could map a system only with uncolonizable planets, asteroids or wreckage...or probably a 'double-star' system or at least a supernova that eats-up all incoming ships. I

Reply to [Mod] Species diversification mod in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Nice idea...will keep eye on it! BTW, is there a way to change usage of different planets to get a diversity in there too? Thinking of probably having more people on desert planets for Advent then for the other two...something like this. Or is it impossible by the game engine and all need terran style planets for best use?

Reply to 1.03 Minidump in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Ok, so far i found out minidump occures while having a 'bad' map in the 'game'/galaxy folder. Sins seems to check every map code while starting. Solution therefore could be to prior-test any single map in your Local Settings/Application-game folder as they will show up in the 'custom-map' area ingame then. Besides the minidump also fires on maps larger then ~60 KB...directs to a code problem regarding ram management ingame from my point. For me mods compatible with 1.03 work fi

After nasty minidump errors i got the things working. The LocalBubble map should be viewable in the download section in a few days. Facts: 4 stars, 71 planets, 3 wormholes lead to a single non-wormhole magnetic cloud
