Reply to Missing Plasma Cannon Barrel in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

My humble apologies to Kryo . He was right: disabling the 'enhanced ship rendering' option in the menu resolves all the problems; I simply forgot to restart the game in order to enable the option. Now the question to the developer is: where do these problems come from? It is evident that they are not the same thing (some parts of some objects appear missing even if the ship has only those parts and the

Reply to Missing Plasma Cannon Barrel in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Yes, someone. Someone who have the same problem of yours (though my PC and Video Card are different) and another not so little, albeit for me, since I enjoy creating very complex ships. As I posted a few times ago, in some cases, adding another component cause the graphic to act in a very original way. Some components (or part of them) disappear, triangles and lines pop up from nowhere to "link" various parts of the ships, the textures change colors, etc. Here is an example (I hope the link

Silly question in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Does anyone know in what order, if any, the planets are browsed when you click on the "next / prev" button in the planet screen? It's not based on the planets' name (which would be a great idea), nor, it seems, on the time you colonized them (from the first - your homeworld - to the last one you landed a colonizer upon, or conquered).

Reply to Ship Makers: Your help please in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Well, the link pointed to an image in which I didn't find a "hollow" fin. Can you illustrate better what you want to achieve? There are jewelries that resemble a fin and have some "hole". You can use them playing with rotations and scaling (but I suggest to use the Kryo's Hull Mod, place a cluster, then attach to it up to ten identical jewelries the kind you like and scale and rotate them like a fan).

Reply to Size matters? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Well Kryo, first of all thanks for your pretious attention to our problems. This said, I've tried another ship, adding jewelrys almost in order (first "my style", then "generic", etc.). I've added two pieces of each jewelry (well, a few times one, a few three). When the *.shipcfg reached 52 Kb and 1078 lines (the last empty as before), on the ship appeared a strip. Here is the screenshot: [url=http://imageshack.us][img=http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/2330/spacejunkil6.jpg][/url]

Reply to Size matters? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I'm running the last version and I do not have created other custom ships so involved. I'll try. BTW, what do you mean with "line count"?

Size matters? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Last night I designed a custom ship with a ton of jewelry. I don't now how much, but the *.shipcfg file is a 109 Kb one. At a certain point, adding other jewelry makes some other part of the ship to vanish. Is there a limit related to the dimension of the *shipcfg file, beyond which the graphic engine is unable to render properly the ship? Curiously, not all the jewelry I tried to add produced the same vanishing effect, and sometimes was the piece added to vanish, sometimes was another part.

Reply to Dark Avatar possible bug - missing parts in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Well, few hours ago I have updated the drivers of my video card (NVIDIA Geforce 6600) to the latest version (ForceWare 94.24). Then I've updated DA via the Stardock Central. Now the Stardock Central reports version 1.59[b].098, but in the lower left part of the game's main menu appears version 1.6 beta 6 (by the way, why this difference?). After that I've loaded the game I was playing: nothing changes, the missing parts are still missing. Then I've started a new game: this time the special s

I've installed the latest beta version of DA (1.59[b].097 according to Stardock Central). I noticed that some parts of the ship's components vanished (for instance, the central part of the plasma weapons' barrell). I use the Kyro's hull mod. Has anyone experienced the same problem?

Updating freighters in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Straight and simple: are there any reasons to upgrade the freighters of your established trade routes to a new version? I mean, if I have a trade route with - let's say - the Paulos and then I research better engines and life supports, that allows me to build a quicker freighter with a larger range, has it a sense to kill the trade route with the Paulos in order to reestablish it using the new freighter?

Reply to Power plants and their utilities in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

Yes, I know that you can see the real power of Power Plants when you build something and focus accordingly your production. What I meant (my apologies if I didn't explain it well before) is that I expected to see some little differences even when building nothing. This is the reason because I do not fully understand why focusing the social production on the two planets resulted in a greater value on Beta, which haven't the power plant. Anyway I conducted another "experiment" with ECO 08, a class

Power plants and their utilities in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I wonder if these considerations are true. I think the utility of power plants depends on the global value of the planet's industry. First of all, I go to the summary screen and check my industry's mp. Then, if I have an open tile and if the bonus of the power plant, applied to the industry's mp, is greater than the increase I could get building my current level of factory on that open tile, then the power plant is worthy of building (apart from the problem of the maintenance fee).<b

Reply to The MOO Factor in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Well well well. Is it an impression of mine, or here someone is suggesting to introduce in GC2 some elements of MOO2 (and, perhaps, Master of Magic - remember the Mirror plane?)? Since i consider MOO2 and MOM two of the better games I ever played, I fully agree. But let me notice that, when I posted (quite a while ago) a few consideration (if you wish, you may search the "Delusion" posts) about how some features of MOO2 would have made GC2 a funnier game, a lot of people blamed me (albeit c

Reply to Ship construction's bug? in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I started a new game after having deleted all files in the "ships" folder and copied in it a set of personalized ships (Yor style) created before updating to the new beta version. In the game I chose the Altarian race, modifying nothing apart from the ship's style (naturally I selected the Yor one). Then I reset the mod's folder in order to force the game not to use the example mod. Until now all is going well and every ships I created in the game (even upgrading the old models) has its XML
