Employment? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I thought employment wasn't in game. Why does the new entry for the Neutrality Learning Center have it?

If you want to reduce the problem reports I'd make that option default to OFF Yes, default should be off

Reply to Great work Coplann in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Coplann, do you have any plans for ever releasing some jewelry for these or future related ships? It's be cool to have some fins and similar things for the player to add on themselves.

Reply to Not another "game is always crashing" thread in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I thought you said this wasn't a game is always crashing thread anyway, debug.err is created in your main game folder. something similar to C:\Program Files\Stardock\TotalGaming\GalCiv2

I've added a bit of stuff to the list, but i need your ideas! If you have ever opened the xml and thought 'why isn't there a tag for...' or 'why can't i change...' then please post! If you don't want to register for the site (which you should if you plan to mod because it's an awesome forum) then post it here and pray this thread doesn't "get eaten by the forums"

Reply to Modder Wishlist in progress in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

well what about modding tech trees and techs in general. like creating new techs with their own tree to research? That's pretty easy. Open up the techtree.xml and look at how it's done. I haven't documented the tech tree tags yet, but most of it is pretty straightfoward.

Reply to Governments in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Is it possible to add in other effects for the governments? No point in adding more governments if all they do is economy... that only fills one of my governments up, lol. Not that I know of, but i'll add it to the modder wishlist <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Smile.gif" border=

Link is a similar post from a few days ago with some stuff in it. Thanks for the link. Kalin is a member of the forums now, so I might let him/her post those. I'll add them myself in a few days if they aren't on the list <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Smile.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmi

I'm compiling a modder wishlist to submit to the devs. Please head over to http://www.gc2builder.com/viewtopic.php?t=82 and post your modding desires.

Reply to Issue: Problem Modding Colony Module in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Same problem here. I guess the colony module (and probably transport module) is coded based on internal name. Another thing to add to the modder wishlist

Reply to Governments in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Govenrment only increases economy. It does not have any effect on military, social, or research production. The manual is wrong and so is the ingame display. It was changed and there is a post somehwere on the forums by frogboy confirming this. head over to http://www.gc2builder.com/ for a more user friendly modder forum

Reply to Adding Miniaturization and Logistics (instructions) in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

From the v1.1 beta 3 release notes, it seems you will only need to edit the AbilityBonus.xml now.

Reply to Almost done.. in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I think for non-beta users the tweaks to the AI, bug fixes, no tech trading, and other things far outweigh the mods. Does this mean there won't be any of the new modding stuff in v1.1 or just the mod(s) you refered to in the topic?

Reply to WHY WAS THE "FEATURE" NOT FIXED???? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

It looks like they might change the ship designer. If they change it where it doesn't remove all of the weapons I'll shut up forever. It has in 1.1 beta 2. There is an toggle bo

Reply to Multiple Uploading Exploit? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I'd say exploit. Does this work? I haven't played any metaverse games, so I don't know how loading saves works. In Civ4, the saves somehow know if you reload an earlier save. Civfanatics uses it to check and make sure games submited to thier ranking system are not cheated in any way. GalCiv2 may have something similar for metaverse.

Reply to Are certain AI's function from 1.X disable in 1.1 Beta2? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

So the only conclusion that I can make is that this is the value used to determine how much the AI should research a particular technology, and has nothing with how much it "values" it I believe this is true. I think it's a bit more complicated than just this value is higher so i'll research it. If I

Reply to Just how far can one mod the game at this point? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I play SWEAW and what the Ships have is actually MORE Hangar then we have at GalCiv2. If we take a Star Destroyer for example, the TIE Fighters and TIE Bombers launching out from it's "Belly" just as they do in the movies and in the other Star Wars games. Yea, but you never have to build a single

Reply to Help! Build the AI new Ship-models? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I think it only uses the shipcfg that doesn't have a number at first. Later in the game it may use the other ones for better ships or upgraded ships.

Reply to Help! Build the AI new Ship-models? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Just checked this and it mostly works. One thing that I'm noticing in the v1.1 beta 2 is that any module added by the AI is also getting added to the design in addition to what's already on it (this also happens for the shipcfg designs that stardock made). This could cause ships to look ugly, so I'll make some inquiries about it.

Reply to Modding Ships and Missing a Step... in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

so I need to use Kryo's Hull Mod for ingame? Wow, sorry I missed replying for a week. Must've been bumped way back pretty fast, because I try to check on replies to things that happen while I sleep/work. I haven't used Kryo's hull mod, so I can't tell you how you add anything to it. Pretty tired atm, but I can give you a link to a ship I'
