Galciv Writer 1.4.0 BETA TESTERS NEEDED!

from Stardock Forums
The Diplomats have been given the responsibility for the gal civ writer, we have a new beta v.1.4.0, we are looking for beta testers up to 20 from here and up to 20 at the main forum, if your intersested please post here you would like to beta test as well as under what name you would like to be given credit for testing, then email me at
[email protected]
put the words "Beta Test" in the subject line (without the quotes), we would like all beta testers to take screen captures (a picture of the error just the box please not your whole desktop, make sure it's readable) for errors they encounter, if you don't have any screen capture software, please go here to get it: http://www.snapfiles.com/download/dlhoversnap.html
,you must REMOVE THE OLD GALCIV WRITER ON YOUR COMPUTER if you have it, finally before you start up gal civ writer after installation you MUST make sure to go to start>run and enter this into the box: regsvr32.exe "C:\Program Files\GalCiv Writer\gvbox.ocx" (enter it exactly as you see with the quotations)
then click okay
or you will end up getting tons of errors, that we are aware of and give us many many useless error reports, please send all error reports to the same email listed above with the words Beta Test in the subject line (record all error reports on note pad, save them in .txt, or use something else and save them in rtf format, thank you for your cooperation, email any questions to that very same email.

PS: you will need .net framework 1.1 if you don't already have it go here to get it http://tinyurl.com/95zt

So how do i make it (the Editor) to see the mod folder. When i keep the set as it is it dont see it.That data file editor sees it but the main editor don't.

okay, i assume your asking why doesn't the main editor see your galciv/mods folder correct?

you got to tools>options: click galciv path browse, then select your mod folder
same with altarian prophecies

And what's that mod manager about? since it appears to be not usable at the moment, i have to ask

looks like it works fine to me, it's used to switch between mods easily like myships to ascended evangelists ships


Oh and the Info text at the standart ID always shows the this sets the Pol Party ID text

Not here, it does not give me any choises to compose stuff.


In the options there is the info about Default starting IDs. When you put the mouse above it an info pops up. All fields below the PolParty ID say that that would be standard PolParyID. Wonders,ImpsID too

Opps spoke to soon I would need too upgrade the darn account for 5 meg files. I will not be able to test it out after all. >:( Only other way is to post it at my Galciv website. Sorry I just am not a fan of Yahoo for anything.

I believe that our trusty beta testing coordinator, the 3rd child, is presently away on vacation, so I will go ahead and announce the next release of the Galciv Writer.

v2.0.0-alpha7 has a bunch of additional fixes including a bug involving the mod directories.

Please send email to [email protected] if you want to test this new version and give feedback/bugreports. As far as I know, there are now only 9 outstanding bugs. Still need to back up the following 4 directories before running v2.0.0-alpha7 for "safety". One of these bugs is a problem launching Galciv and AP from the GalcivWriter itself, so until this is resolved, launching of these must be manual (but keep the GalcivWriter running simultaneously if you want to use the built-in Mod Manager). Please send all bug reports (with screenshots) to [email protected] as usual. We especially need feedback on the new features, such as the Mod Manager.

v2.0.0-beta1 should be the next version and will include automatic renumbering of IDs. Either v2.0.0-beta1 or some later version of v2.0.0-betaX will add in support for the logistics ability.
