GC 1.21a / AP 1.51a beta on SDC

from Stardock Forums

Though development proceeds at full-steam-ahead on GalCiv2, Cari has been ironing out some little things that occasionally turned up.

AP 1.51a/GC 1.21a BETA
--------------------------------

New feature in AP:

+in AP added the ability to right click on an item on the governor's
+screen
and get a popup with a description of it

Tweaks/fixes:

+tweaks to traderoute that will should eliminate the last of the crashes that occur when you destroy a star or a colony and the stuck trade route bug
+fixed a lockup in the united planets win
+fixed a bug in AP where the
+values weren't showing up for the first 2 races in the UP that was caused by an attempt to fix the bug where the Drath and Yor's stats don't show up, but it would require changing the graphics to fix it.
+Fixed missing planets in Huge Primal map for AP Made sure that the
+Acceleration Scenario was the right file for AP fixed a bug in the
+invasion screen that wasn't adding the invader's tech advantage correctly
+fixed bug where survey ships weren't saving anomaly destinations, which could have contributed to the bug where the human ship stops auto surveying
+fixed bug where if you have more than 1000 colonies, it doesn't update all of them
+fixed missing Drath ships

Check that 'user defined play list' is not checked off.

Just loaded the updates. Tried the right mouse button on the Obsolete ship list on the governors' screen and get a Crash To Desktop. The Improvement list works fine. Sorry to ask for another "bug fix," but please see what you can do. Thanks!

A few observations about new build:

1)auto-survey bug refuses to die :(

2)I had a trade route with a minor. When it culture-flipped to the Terrans, the trade route was still listed giving trade income (shows as Terrans trading with Terrans). When the mini-freighter arrived the income went to N/A.

3)When I killed the above route, the popup for trade route discontinued read "...trade route 42949667295..."

4)When capturing planets by invasion, all of the trade routes are being killed properly. No more inheriting trade routes through conquest. :)

Hmmm...the Attrition scenario still gives an anomalous score. From reading the history, it would appear that the Acceleration scenario (gave proper scores in previous version) may have been checked by mistake. :notsure:

Every time I conquered a planet in my last game I got a message like this. Usually 5 - 7 times toward the end of the game.

I am unable to complete the updates as the process crashes when trying to install ODZIP.DLL. Stardock Central also tries to update to 2.01.309 every time it starts up, even though it previously successfully did this update.

Uhhh, I'd also like to point out that, there were techknowledgies I got from Icho's mods [Halut 2.0, Omega Pack] and some techs that are supposed to give me traderoutes dont; like after I get 10 traderoutes thats it, and the techs or events even though they say they'll give me more they dont.... perhaps a scrollbar for traderoutes/compatability is an issue in this case? So maybey we can have AP/Galciv set to have more than 10 for the sake of people's mods????

Well, technically 10 trade routes is the maximum that you can get in GC and AP. Even due its a bit sad, that limit. I'd like to see the posibility of more routes...

Any one know what Huge Primal is? Meta took my score. I checked several other player profiles but it seems few are running 1.51a. Shows up as 1.52.

I have the same thing with Galciv 1.21a.

On the positive side auto survey seems to work better: When the survey ships finds new anomalies (I have the eyes of universe) when going to a distant one, it decides to go for the one it has just revealed.

Auto-survey is still ignoring anomalies.

Got it sorted - had to reinstall SDC and everything updated correctly afterward.

Which ones and when? From my experience with Galciv 1.21a[b].002, each turn, the survey ships decides of a target and moves. If anomalies are detected nearer than the targetted one, it is only the next turn that they can be targetted.
At least, it is how I have seen my auto survey ship moving.

It happens towards the middle of the game. I typically will trade techs for some freightors which I use for fog busting. The survey ship will be set to auto survey and think that there are not any known anomolies. However, if I look around, I can usually find one. If I send the survey ship to it, the caption below the ship changes to Auto-survey and off it goes. After it explores the anomoly, it will not automatically locate and go to the next anomoly.

I will try to pay more attention to when it stops working...

If it wasn't in auto-survey mode (since you have specified the target), it is normal.

Sorry, fixed that. I was reseting the trade route ID before the message popped up.
