Why not simply uninstall rubbish sp3 ? Istalling tortoise pays off the taken time to get rid of sp3. SVN for you would simplify things. [quote]I'd still need to know if you will agree with my 64s to 128 replacements suggestion (and, if so... list the definitive new ones here for me) though before i delve deeper into creating the "final" versions. Oh, before i forget, don't mind the 'FoodHarvester1' either, i need to fix it a bit further since there are two accidental glow lines

[quote]Oh well, i had just installed Tortoise_SVN (dunno where i got that version, maybe it's flawed since it was into an msi pack rather than a genuine 32bit executable) and it simply screwed all of my context menu handlers in XP_SP3. Fixed back by uninstalling the "thing". It's strange though that a fast regular & conventional FTP access won't work with that server (silly, if you ask me)[/quote] Do you really know what svn or cvs is?

Both of you should check often for modifications :d @Zyx Thx for summary so far. Asa is designed to be more a minor at the beginning, but getting more and more powerful, probably depending on your alignment ;) But the techtree is full of means to conquer the galaxy, just a bit slow, well, settled back :LOL: However, I can keep up with tough AI.

As kryo and others stated many times, it is not possible to mod MP in!! Personally, I don't need a MP, waiting half a year before next turn.

Reply to TA Custom Race Mod 1.9a in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Actually, I don't quite get your point, except it was not working. If I clean ..\MyGames\TOTA from prefs.ini & *.raceconfigxml and set up a game with mod, it work for me. Out of ~500 dl, nobody has complained about that, maybe the guys are just lazy. But there is definately no need for a "raceconfigxml hack" anymore, it get auto created. Else to say, finish your game!! :LOL:

@All Since feedback so far is lean, I'll send out v1.9 before I upload it publically. I tweaked so much of PI&TT that I need feedback especially on >= medium maps. Anybody who wants to playtest and also can drop some lines is highly welcomed.

Please, *heavilybegging* , consider making a normal PI with PlacementLimit=1 being an abstract SuperProject or something like this. I would love to implement what I think is a nice idea into my mod, but I can't do it :( If you are interested, have a look [link="https://forums.galciv2.com/316063"]here[/link] please. However, thanks for answering my question, your solution is also a nice idea, btw :)

Reply to Custom Starbase Look? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I've done that, as MacMatt said, you need to edit the shipcfg file. However, if you alter, be aware that those changes apply for all races, unfortunately. It is currently not possible, to individualize SB appearance, only a S0_ prefix get detected by the game, and hence you made them look differently but for all races :(

Reply to Bonuses for PlanetImprovements in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I would have to create a whole bunch of say logistics SPs, since the limit of 1 per empire applies. That is why I want to have a normal PI with limit=1 which can be build on every owned planet, thus increasing logictics by say +2 LP per planet. The result is, a planet can hold/afford/maintain at minimum 1 tiny ship in orbit for defense ; locistics would not be capped by a static value from tech gain, instead it would be only capped by yourself, mapsize and planet-PI-count :) That's the

Yes, but I cant replace say Logistics Tech branch with buildings, the idea is to have sort of dynamic logistics depending on owned planets and PI built :( I also can't make trade much more valueable for the race.
