Ok, perhaps it's unfair of me to talk lightly about the Metaverse, as i'm not affected by the problem. But as i've said: In my opinion customer-service is a much better for GalCiv than it is for a lot of other softwares from other producers. ~SDC~

Reply to Mod problems in Mods Stardock Forums

You wil not see the custom-techs in the tree if they have no tech following, if they are the end of a brach, so to say. To fix this, i created an "Endtech" with ID 9999, a "." in both description fields, with nothing else changed. This "Endtech" has all my custom techs as tech requirements. This way i can see all my custom techs in the tree, while "Endtech" as branch-end does not show up. Curiously "Endtech" does not appear at anytime in the game, even if you have re

Reply to I finally finished a game, and I can't upload to metaverse in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

At this point i have to say that i've never-ever encountered any problems with the metaverse. Further i believe that support for GalCiv is much MUCH better than for a lot of other games/applications where the producers don't even answer to any kind of complaints or questions they get. I've had some troubles with StarDock Central some time ago, another time with my serial, as well as some other minor troubles, and every time i got either a fast reply to my eMails or quick and e

Reply to Freeware graphic editor / pear sprite files in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I downloaded the Graphic Editing Suite, but i have no program to edit the unpacked files (didn't even know "pear sprite files" before). Normally i do most work with the ancient PSP 3(.something) from about '95. But those pear files aren't recognized by it. Since there is freeware for almost anything somewhere on the web, i thought i just ask if anyone knows something about it. Why i use PSP 3.x: PSP 9 [quote]costing about $129 [/quote]i'm a bit short on cash, so i'm going for

I liked Haegemonia quite well, but in my opinion the planetary management was a bit on the short side. Did anyone play the Add-On? [Message Edited]

Reply to Space shark removal in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I think the problem should be solved if you delete the Expansion01Anom -file in your GalCiv/Data folder - it contains nothing but the shark-anomaly. (Don't forget to make a backup copy if you ever want to face the shark again) You can edit nearly all files in the data-folder with the notepad or the GalCiv Writer. Here's a link to the old version: http://www.ctuit.com/bill/galciv.htm#Downloads: Using this, anyone can become a modder! ~SDC~

Reply to More New Animated Ship Graphics Available: Amaymon Fighters in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

There's the Star Wars Mod and a StarTrek Mod about. Both have excellent ship models available. There has been a mod that renamed the ships exactly as you described some fan page some time ago. Unfortunately i can't find it anymore. On this page was also an event-file about a fleet of automatic waste-disposal ships. Perhaps the creator of these mods reads this and writes back. If you do not like the names of the GalCiv original ships, you can edit the ship names either in the *.SHIP File

Reply to What advantage(s) do you get by stacking ships into a "fleet" in Strategies Stardock Forums

You just move several ships at the same spot, so that they are all in one place. To the right of your screen is that small window where all the ships in that spot are displayed with little icons (i call it the fleet-window). Right to the small ship symbols there is a small gadget, if you click that, all ships in that spot will be merged/stacked into a fleet. Once this is done there will be a little gadget under the first one, allowing you to disband the fleet again into singl

Chippoka, those fighters are truly great! Many thanks, many thanks for doing this for me! :CONGRAT: LOL I also wish to thank the yet unknown author of the picture on which this model is based. If you recognize your ship, and/or have any objections about the model being used, please contact me or Chippoka. ~SDC~

Reply to Can't use some Ship Mods in Mods Stardock Forums

Chippoka, the Goa'uld Ship is just great, as is the Starbase model. :CONGRAT: I especially like that 3D-appearance you have managed to give them. I think it is also great that they do not rotate like other ships, that would a) spoil the 3D effect, and b) would look somehow inappropriate for such big structures. Also the slow movement is a great idea. Would you also do ships on demand? - as i'd like to have some different models for the stellar warfare package, like som

Once again, nicely done! The only thing i personally would prefer are "neutral" blueprints, but this is just a personal preferrence, nothing that diminishes the fun of having new ships in the game or the quality of your work. Right now i'm tinkering again with the (or another) monstrous mod, i'm thinking about introducing the Shark with it's own tech around battleship-time for evil races only, in combination with a tech and ship reserved for good races (my current version uses your white
