[quote]So my opinion is based on the fact that since they are in development of GC v2.00 and they have not fixed the v1.xx bugs yet there will be no more patches.[/quote] Hmmm...Cari-elf indicated that there would probably be another patch at some future undetermined date. As to what bugs are squashed, thats a different question.

Reply to From 13+ games to 2? - Is that 'metaverse degradation'? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

No, score degradation does not cause games to disappear from your record. Did you upgrade to Totalgaming.net recently? If you did, the newer games are submitted under TG's registration number and the older games are still associated with the AP/GC registration number. You would need to go http://www.galciv.com/playerreg.asp and follow the instructions for score conversion in order for the older games to reappear. If you haven't upgraded to TG, someone from Stardock wil

Reply to New---How do I make enough money to go on. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Trade techs with the minors because you get much better deals. Early on, the majors will trade freighters for techs. By right clicking on a freighter name in the trade list, you can see if the freighter is near an alien world. Choose freighters that are closest to alien worlds so that they will arrive in a only a few turns. That way you start routes sooner and collect trade faster.

Reply to An old player says "Now wait a second..." in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Hmmm... let see! With AP you can : 1) Play randomly generated maps with 1-7 major alien races with the minors on or off. 2) Play AP campaign 3) Play the 9 scenarios included 4) Play on the various custom maps provided 5) Create your own maps, scenarios, and campaigns and play on those. Right now the only games not submittable to the metaverse fall under category 5. :) PS AP also has bonus ships, etc.

[quote]But I think I have tried putting my own created model in the galciv writer, using the method you jus told me[/quote] Hmmm...my method doesn't use GCW to add model, so I think you might not quite understand. You use GCW to create .ship file than use NotePad to edit this .ship file to add your custom model. At this point the ship should use your model in game. I used this method to add a custom anomaly graphic I made. It worked in game but unfortunately it looked really bad because

As far as I know you can't use GalCivWriter to add new ship models directtly. However if you have the ship model successfully archived as a Pear file using Dark Rains tools, you can manually add ship model to .ship file created with GCW by using .txt editor like NotePad. A .ship file looks like this: //------------------------------------------------------------------------ SHIP DeathKnight //------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reply to What happened to making Mods? in Mods Stardock Forums

I actually have a second anomaly mod submitted for approval so I am working on them but its really hard to come up with new and unique mods. If I was a better artist, I have some ideas for mods like modeling a space dragon for a mod similar to the space shark "monster mod". I think a great artist could model several monsters that could be spawned from unique anomalies or be built after research specific monster techs. In other words the shortage of models is limiting my ability to mod.

After opening .anomaly files with .txt editor, like Notepad, make sure that you remember to save as an .anomaly file when finished editting or they won't work in-game. Same holds true for all data file types.

Reply to Favorite Altarian Prophecy mission in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Overall I liked the variety of the missions. The only mission that I didn't particularly care for is #5 (Unsuspecting Allies). The cultural objective felt more tediuous than the other objectives in my opinion. That being said it did provide variety of objectives which was good. A balance of alliance, elimination, and capture the planet missions would be a good start. In addition, I'd like to even more variety of the type of objectives mixed in. For example, find and destroy a

First you need an active internet connection when the game summary comes up in order for the submit screen to come up. If your internet connection was not active, don't worry. The Endgame.sav can be loaded after connecting to the internet, hit space bar, and summary screen will again appear. Press done and submission screen should appear. At this point enter your player name exactly as it was registered as well as the same registered e-mail address. The submission process usually takes
