Do we want to use a svn repo for the mod? At the moment the mod is locally under svn anyway, but I have an unused repo @ i-mod. Thus, you guys would be always up-to-date ;)

Yes the rings are fine now, maybe a little colortuning, eventually, not sure yet. I want to create a sort of foggy/gloomy or liquid space effects like species 8472 ;) It's really a pity, that special worlds don't really work in homesystems.

I'm having some days off at the lovely baltic sea, so no mod dev till next Monday evening. The forecast predicts nice beach weather :) PS: I was experimenting with 4 unique terraincolorschemes & planetdescriptions v1.9 is targeted about next but one weekend. I was hoping, that I could include some planet textures in v1.9, though I have no real clou how much time it takes to make some. Thanks Sir Nasty anyway, I know you'll make them nicely ;)

Nope, even a PI with HomePQ assigned does not work.

I'm sorry, since I do not use vista nor I will, the GalCiv2IDE sometimes run on vista and sometimes not. My guess would be lowering/turn off the systemrestictions in UAV.

@Nasty The HomePQ ability seems to be inactive somehow, the game does not apply the bonus, no matter what value I set :( Maybe, it only gets applied when researched a connected tech? I'll check that... I suspect sth, since HomePQ also belongs to the newly added abilities, which get never assigned in raceconfig ... No success, HomePQ is definately inactive.

Good question, shouldn't it be 16? I'll look into that and do some testing. Probably , the whole ability isn't really implemented as supposed.

What mapsize did you play with asa? Because, I made significant changes to PI maintainance costs, so that I'm not gonna be able to massproduce spies from >=turn1 :P It got a lot tougher now, to make surplus. But I usually can only test on tiny and small maps, so costs won't increase that quick, since less planets.

Well, one can't really see anything. Make more partial screens instead, zoomed in of course. Best practice to eliminate the error is, comment out the differnt branches eg first the diplo ones then biology, computing etc. you got to shorten the techtree to have any chance of finding the nasty creep. I had this once, and it worked out quickly that way. The problem comes from editing the techtre by hand eg renaming the tech_id and then loading it into the editor. the editor can't r

So you think the costs in general are ok? And what did you experience with you eco, did you have too much money?

Well, I just told STK that he should use the group tag andafter that make another approach to making usable screenshots. And the answer to di55ec7ion's question was a simple no :)

Done, 1.2 "rejected" ;)

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

Did you upload them @i-mod? I temporarily disallowed y the "old" ring, since you said you want it closed. Just tell me if you wish to make them public again ;) You want to keep public status for 1.2?

@di55ec7ion Nein, kann man nicht :(

Reply to Maximum number of techs reached? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

mach doch bitte erstmal die group tags, und danach nen vernünftigen screenshot, wo man auch was drauf erkennen kann :d

Reply to Race Relations in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

well, what I mean is that distibuting a mod with a scenario is the better way of doing it, since it does not apply to the whole game. Tecnically, you almost alter the same lines in the ini as you would add them in a scenario ;) Same Principal as the xmls in ..\MyGames\... I think, thats why SD made scenarios ini file format

I already defined my own star, its just a matter of how telling the customplanets the halo thingy :NOTSURE:

Reply to Race Relations in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I think I'm going to release my scenario editor with custom/modded race support soon. Manipulating the ini is the second option, but scenario are technically ini file format

Btw, would it be possible to assign just one starflare to a homestar asd well as say green or purple star texture, not to all? If so, I'd like to implement your starflare. Yes, like some 2 coloured variations of R065.png

Yees, very good, exactly what I meant by dispersing :CONGRAT: The planet looks also promising.

1. Make it so, that a modder can assign some hardcoded abilities to techs triggering an event, eg. UniversalTranslator, GovTechs, OrbFleetManager etc ... 2. Make it so, that a custom race does not inherit techs from the default techtree, when no techrequirement. Same for PI,GC2Types etc... 3. enable spying/Influence(=harder to flip) on minors 4. expand the idea of asteroidbases, as you planned, I think :)

That might be possible, but do not change the tech id, otherwise eg. the elections don't get triggered. basically, 3 gov types are available.

Weekend :) Sir Nasty, would it be possible, that you make R32.png & R32a.png a quite similar structure as R065.png, I like its look!? something like to straigten/disperse the block? Maybe the Ro72 inner block as well?
