I had to do a complete uninstall/install to get the music working. Now I can grip the sliders and move tham. They started at the max right position and showed 100%. But the instant I moved either of them the value for the one being moved jumped to 10,000 and moved from there. The volume seems to be about what the pointers show, but the value is about 100 times what it should be.
Mine are stuck at 0. And I have no music on the introduction and no background music once the game is loaded.
You have mentioned debug.err with crashes but not Smart Exception. Do you have SE installed and working?
Notepad works well enough.
If you could change the difficulty both directions it would be too much of a cheat. Only a downward change should be allowed, if at all.
So this female looks like what? A grasshopper? A Preying Mantis?
I can only spend 2/3 of what I'm making How are you managing that? Every game I have played I find myself wanting to spend every BC I can lay my hands on. It isn't until much later that I start getting ahead.
Trade Goods is something of a misnomer anyways... they are all really Galactic Wonders it is simply a matter of being able to use them in the diplomacy screen... Does *anyone* ever actually trade these things away? If so... Why? Did so with great gusto on GC1. The biggest reason was for the cash or techs you can get from other races. The minor
AI starbases sometimes show on the main map, even when they are outside your current scanner range. There waw discussion on GC1 about opponent star bases that had been discovered and what should happen if the sb was no longer within the range of one of your scanners. One comment was that once we had discovered a star base, we knew where it was
A.I performance between themselves Each major civ has its own AI. Brad (Frogboy) programs the opponent AIs. On GC1 he concentrated on one or two at first, then went on to the others. At this point in the Beta I would expect to see a big discrepancy between the capabilities of the AIs. By the time the game goes gold they should be all up to snuf
True. Perhaps if windowed mode had a boudary that was, say, 5 pels wide, putting the cursor on that boundary could trigger scrolling.
Have you tried fiddling with the Nebula background density? Yes I have. I may have found a setting that does pretty well. Not real good, but workable. I am also seeing another problem with the range limit lines. They disappear. When viewing them sometimes you will see a range limit line vanish when it crosses a sector boundary. I fi
On the other hand, population is key to revenue. The more people, the more tax income. This game realy makes you think about balance.
There have been problems reported with ship design upgrades, obsoleting ship designs, and deleting ship designs. I just checked with Cari and she says she just found and fixed several problems in this area. The problem you describe sounds like it results in an incomplete design description in the ship description files, which is similar to what was happening with obsoleting/updating/deleting ship designs. Cari says the fix could be in one of the next two builds.
There are some "cheats" in the game, but the ones I have used are basically debugging aids.
all it does is explore and collect bonuses it has no military value beyond that of a scout actually, some of the anomalies you explore gives your survey ship weapons and defenses as well as hitpoints. It doesn't seem to be working just yet, so maybe they haven't quite gotten the implementaion complete yet, but some the pop-ups from exploring a
The victory conditions could be changed by editing the config file in 4C, That has worked on earlier betas.
I always thought that if I was building war ships, I would number them sequentially, not randomly I think they are numbered sequentially, but you won't see it that way because the sequence numbers are for all ships, yours and your opponents. So if you have ships 520 and 528, opponents will have ships 521, 522, 523, 524, 525, 526, and 527.
Using a scroll mouse, zoom-in / zoom-out with the cursor over the minimap will center it nicely. That is exactly the diddling I am talking about. It is getting to be a very annoying task. A key stroke could easily replace it. Part of the problem is that the mini-map can't be scrolled, at least, not in windowed mode. Perhaps if it co
It takes a turn or two for it to start playing the war background music after reloading a saved game with a fresh recycle of GC2.
Well, it looked like it for a while, but I am back to where I can't see that limit line any more.
A very nice feature that I used a lot on GC1 was the next election date on the panel that showed the senate distribution. Is there a date shown in GC2? Did I miss it? If not, I will.
Moving the cursor to the edge of the GC2 window does not cause the main view to scroll. I can't get the mini-map to scroll either.
The more playable this game gets the more important I find the information in the mini-map. One of the problems I have is that if I have the mini-map zoomed in (something I MUST do to see the stars for a gigantic galaxy -- stars don't really show at 100% zoom) when I switch from ship to ship and want to see what is behind the unexplored space around the ship, I have to dlddle with the mini-map to get it centered on the ship. Even so, there are times when I need separate scrolling cap

I did not reload GC2.exe from the desk top. I did a "retire", then exited the summary screen which got me to the main screen, then selected "load game". Strangely the "endgamesave" entry showed in the field above the list of saved games, so I clicked the load button, but got the "game not selected" response. To be sure the game was selected I clicked on the "endgamesave" entry and clicked "load" again. CTD. I sent the SE report to Scott. Starting gc2.exe from the desktop and reloadin
