Reply to DA Freeze in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Saved games are very useful for determining the cause of freezes and other bugs. If you have custom opponents with custom logos, we can still load them, but we won't see the custom logos. Do you have any saves from before the battle? If so, please send them as well to [email protected] Thanks.

Reply to Incorrect Auto Miner Behaviour in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Zydor, I am having trouble reproducing the behavior in your first post even with the same scenario set up. Do you have a saved game where this was happening? In your second post, are you referring to AI ship miners or your own miners on auto-improve. Your own miners on auto-improve DO take into effect AOI, and not build in others' influences. They will build in areas that are under no one's influence.

Reply to space miner bug? in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

For clarification: This applies to ALL ships: When the ship enters an asteroid field, it loses all of its move points ( for example, if it had 3 left, it goes down to zero ) Ships on asteroid fields at the beginning of the turn will only be able to move 1 tile that turn. Once you move the ship out of the asteroid field, it regains all of its moves again on the next turn.

Thanks, ignuss. Those are exactly the messages I was looking for

Reply to cloaked ships in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

It looks like a shipcfg file is failing to load properly. Please post your debug.err files if you are getting "cloaked" or invisible ships like in the screenshots above. This file will tell us what ship file is failing to load. You can locate this file at /Program Files/Stardock/TotalGaming/Galciv2/DarkAvatar Thanks.

Reply to Not bad for the first game... in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

It works. Choose 'Declare War' under Treaties and press send, it's as simple as that. It seems to be bugged though because my senate didn't get to vote on it even though I was Republic. Just made the change to make it pop up a Senate vote before war can be declared in the trade screen. Thanks for catching that one <img src="htt

Thanks for reporting the freeze. I fixed that option this morning. Until we can get another update out, just turn the option off that ignuss described above.

Reply to Crash - in battle viewer in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Thanks for reporting this freeze-up. I took a look at the code this morning and fixed the problem. For now, just turn the "always watch players ships in full battles" off.

Reply to DA UI Suggestion - Asteroid Mine Tweek in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

You can also use the keyboard shortcut SHIFT+M for automating the miners. They will prefer to mine an unmined asteroid field first before upgrading mined asteroid fields (This way they gobble up unused asteroid fields before someone else does) If the miners cannot find an unmined asteroid field, they will evaluate the asteroid fields around them and go after the one which will take the shortest amount of time to both travel to and complete the module. For example

Reply to Ship does not match its graphic in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Not all of the Arcean designs are finished yet, so some Arcean ships are borrowing other ship designs for the moment. This design looks like it has lasers, but rest assured, those lasers are purely cosmetic.

Reply to Space Mining in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Hopefully I can clear up some of the confusion about asteroid fields and mining ships. It is INTENDED that the space miner ships are not destroyed/consumed when building or improving mining bases. If you select a mining ship and right-click an asteroid field or mining base, the ship will begin building a base or improving the existing base when it arrives. This is because the asteroid field is the ship's destination. If you set the space miner ship to go to

Reply to Do Mining Starbases Count? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Mining Bases on asteroids do not count towards the starbase limit. GW Swicord is correct. They are separate object types.

Reply to Research/Economic Treaties in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Currently, the Economy and Research treaties share 10% of the civ's income or research spending with the other civ. They do not take away anything from the offering civ. You can only share your economy with one civ. Same is true for research. You do not have to share your economy with the same civ with which you share your research. These treaties are permanent until war is declared or one of the civs is eliminated. Once the deal is broken, you c

Reply to Race Logo Jewelry Bug in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Ah, most of the logos in the game are symmetrical, which is why I never noticed that. Should be simple to fix. Thanks. So this only happens on the round logo jewelry piece, not the square one?

Reply to Cannot use custom saved ships in Beta Reports GalCiv2 Forums

What components are you placing on the ship? Please check the total size that the parts are using before you save it. Is it exceeding the capacity of the hull? We found a bug after releasing the beta where certain configurations would allow you to add a component that wouldn't fit. The game will not let you use the design until your miniaturization reaches a level that allows the component to be used. Please verify if this is the same bug.&nbs

Reply to Dark Avatar Dev Journal: Custom Ship Styles in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

Could you add the name of the Ship Style to somewhere on the Customize Ship Style screen? That way if you load one or want to save it, you know the name of the style you're modifying/creating. That's a good suggestion, and we'll be adding the style name somewhere on the screen.
