Reply to Post Your Gal Civ III Ship Designs! in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="CoffeeholicCielo" reply="1139" id="3555546"] Perhaps I'll make a video tutorial for tips on how to properly use the ship designer in the future. [/quote] I've been thinking the same, lot of people are having a hard time with it it seems. And here's a few more ships that I"m quite proud of: Defiant: <img src="http://i.imgur.com/5rhLZ38.png" alt="" width="192

Reply to How are people managing their research planets? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I start with buying a factory, and building one more. Fill the main area with research buildings; save individual tiles for Approval, and a pair of tiles for hospital + farm. Once this is all built, remove the original factories. The population will be rising high enough to manufacture quickly enough without factories at this point. Once these initial biuldings are down (plus terraforming etc), I set the governor to produce as much science as possible, while still retaining 10 prod

Reply to [Guide] Creating Ship Style Sets for Custom Factions in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

The different ships all have a set of code that describes what components they need to have, and what they'll fill up with when there's spare space onboard, it's ShipBlueprintDefs.xml under \data\game. For example, the basic tiny beam ship is this: [code="xml"] - SniperBlueprint Tiny</ShipHull

Can someone help me understanding ship colour schemes? in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

So, I wanted to make some custom colours to fit with the theme of the ships I'm using (I wanted particular light colours and engine trails, especially), so I went hunting. I found the GC3AppearanceDefs.xml in data\core, and found the following setup: [code="xml"] GC3_Default_Appearance Ship_Color_Default <DisplayIc

Reply to Adding more map theme colors. in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

I've been wanting to add some custom faction colour schemes, similar to how this would work. Is the easiest way to copy over the list from GC3AppearanceDefs.xml to a new file in the Mods folder, with more colour options added in, or is there a way to just add in a single colour code block to the existing XML via a mod without altering the original?

[quote who="CaptainGarand" reply="10" id="3555180"] @TurielD Thank you very much for your contribution. Are you okay if I combine your ship templates with mine inside a single package at a later stage of the project? [/quote] Sure, though if everyone contributes bunches of ships this way it'll be a template explosion :P I'd just like to have a 'contributed by' line in the description somewhere, feel free to use and share t

Reply to Ship Designer display bug: designer gizmos show scaling is switched for X and Y axes, gizmos go loopy for rotated parts in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

Another issue I've had with the designer is rotation, and now that I've started working with the gizmos I think I can see why... This is how the rotation axes should display: But when attaching a part to a part which is already rotated, the axes go a little loopy... <img src="http://i.imgur.com/kku39DT.gif" alt="" width="830" heig

Reply to Slow Ship Movements on insane size map. in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Seilore" reply="1" id="3554819"] Yeah it takes a bit for my ships to move too, however, my ships start to jump around, the other night I pulled up the stats and on the main map I'm down to 6 FPS for some reason, no matter what my settings are. [/quote] Hmm, sounds like a calculations thing then, rather than display if its not affected by changing settings

Ship & fleet movement bug in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

When ordering a ship to join another (which automatically forms a fleet) and ordering the other ship to move before the first ship arrives, the second ship with move from its spot and the first ship will join it at its new location to form a fleet, even if this is beyond the first ship's movement range. Example: http://i.imgur.com/U5w9QCZ.webm As you can see, the first transport moves

Ship manufacturing bug in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

I am building a vessel which costs 147 manufacturing points. I am giving my shipyard 140.5 manufacturing points, The vessel displays in the shipyard as taking 2 turns to build; that means the shipyard will let 134 manufacturing capacity of the second build turn going to waste. Or does it? Rather than what the build queue displays (2 turns per ship) I am actually building a transport every turn now... <img src="http://i.imgur.com/aZmrcta.png" alt="" width="19

[major balance bug] user created ship designs available at shipyard even if capacity requirements not met in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

I saw this bug first on youtube, presented by Arumba: [video]https://youtu.be/qXnDVs9O9sA?t=7m37s[/video] What it comes down it, is that the shipyards 'manage' screen does not check for capacity when deciding whether vessels are build-able. Yesterday I was playing a game as a custom faction, the Frederation, which uses the Terran tech tree and ship style. I focused capacity research (as usual) and designed a late-game cons
