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

Cari; I'm getting a problem that may have been mentioned earlier; my survey ships and survey exploring ships later on in the game don't seem to survey the danged annomalyies.... and I have the annomally pop up turned off. :sniff!:

EVEN if I turn on the auto survey option etc.

towards the end of my game.. a race retired leaviing its planets to me.. I had a trade route to it.. and it still exists after I gained control of the planet..

Survey bug in AP v1.52. Auto survey is on. Ship is routed to an anomoly that is on the other side of the galaxy that was uncovered by a sensor drone. During the flight time to the anomoly the sensor drone uncovers some more anomolies. Once the survey ship arrives and explores the anomoly, auto-survey no longer works. I have save files if you are interested.

Ummmm. I just reloaded the save file and it appears that the anolomies did not get saved!!!!

This was true in previous versions as well. You could often pick up existing trade routs that continue to operate.

Darnit, it only checked to see if you were at war with the person who surrendered the star...

Found the bug, thanks Aldar.  It was caused by a trade ship not having the right index, possibly caused by it getting loaded into a different slot than it was created in, which would explain why I didn't run into it while testing--I played straight through.

Oh uhh Cari, will the Grammar Errors and things like that be fixed in the next update[s]? :D Just wondering, and keep up the good work Cari :)
Reply #35 from Stardock Forums Top
No, I didn't fix any grammar errors.  Would you rather I fix actual bugs and work on GC2 or fix the grammar errors?

CariElf,
Can we set up something that allow us, your loyal fans, to fix, rewrite, or improve the text areas and provide them to you in a way that it takes minimal effort to include the fixes in the game?

Citizen PassingBye, doing that sort of thing might get you promoted to Veteran.

That would be a nice side benefit. But I think that editing text would be easy for us to do. I just don't know how hard it is to integrate back into the source code.

there are several files you could edit incliding the english.str file .. most are plain text...

when you have edited them then you could jupload them to the library as a miscelanous mod.. and then people could replace their existing files with these files..

look in the AP/data and the GC/data dir's and look at the files in there.. most are plain text and are relativle easily edited..

Just remewmber ALWAYS make a backup of ANY fioler PRIOR to editing it.. in case anything goes wrong ;)

Hope this helps

What exactly do people who have access levels above Citizen actually get? Special access to different forums or just the status/rank/acknolwedgment of some sort :)?

There is one extra forum that is rarely used, originally intended, IIRC, for early communication with people that are known to be helpful in one way or another.

Mainly it's just acknowledgement for various things now.
