I would like to start scripting some events for GalCiv, but mostly i want to do some UP Issues as i feel they are few and far between in the games i've played. My problems is though.... i have no clue how to or what program(s) i need, or what sort of scripting knowledge i would need. Could someone help point me in the right directions?

u can find the GalCivWriter here:

With that u can do those things..
HawaiiFive-O has created it.. ;)
First u must install v.1.0.0 GCInstall.zip (about 1.8 Mb)
Then you can install the newest version 1.2.3
Here's also a thread to it:

  HawaiiFive-O  made a pretty slick GalCiv text modding tool for editing things in the game.  Unfourtunatly, the UPIssues are one of the more under-developed items in the game, so you may find yourself limited on what you can create.  Random events, on the other hand, may be more exciting to make and see in the game.  Anyways, hopefully this tool will help get you started  :)  Also, check out the "Modding" section of the forum, there're alot of friendly guys overthere to help you out if needed.

... That's why i wanted to try to get into making UP Issues... Personally, It seems that for a Galactic United Nations Organization they do very little ever and i wanted to try my hand at making things a little more varied in that respect of the game. I'm considering doing events too, as they pop up more regularly and i'd be able to see them in action more readily when playing. Thanks for the help guys.
