its not wrong.. I didnt say I use TALaunch.exe for map editor just prefer to use the startup gadget to start the game. And because I had it already this shortcut I saw the tools addition on startup menu. 6 Editors.. yum yum.. :p
[quote]When I used the top buttons to minimize to taskbar and then brought the window back up it is blank white and I have to restart the program to use it again. Also after a few seconds a window popped up saying my direct3d device could not be restarted and the program had to close. [/quote] same here minimizing window and bringing it back causes d3d error What about a small minimap? since we cant zoom out all the way a minimap would be very useful. And an e
hm.. ok thanx for the tip I changed Prefs.ini but it did not have any effect.. so I will try the tournament way..
[quote] I had disabled custom maps for the beta because I didn't want to debug problems caused with custom maps and it didn't occur to me to re-enable them now that we released the map editor. It'll have to wait for next week to be enabled. [/quote] Ow.. :NOTSURE:
OK you did it map editor is finally here. Thank you! However I have to point 2 things there is no shortcut to map editor only through TALaunch.exe where I use on my shortcut instead GC2TwilightOfTheArnor.exe for me its ok but most users dont know that.. And what about custom maps in game? Is it deactivated? On first betas it was active but not anymore so I cant load a map I will create in map editor. I hope I will find the right xml to edit and load a custom map.. cant wait..
Map editor... Map editor.. Map editoooooooooooor !!!!!!!!!! :CONGRAT: :D :LOL: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :D :D :d :d
I never liked the limit too I find it stupid. Before TA it was not a big problem cause in the later stages of game I was earning something like 1800bc's per turn and after the 20.000 limit it was not 1800 but something less so I didnt really care. But now in TA economy really sucks and its really hard to even reach the 20.000 limit and when you do that.. its disaster. I can see even the other civs are not progressing normally cause their economy is crippling too! And the game becomes slo
Compatible or not it does not affect your saved game. Changes affect only new games as I know from previous updates.
Well it seems Im the only one Im VERY dissapointed with the 2nd delay. I cant say all these new updates are great but the most important thing for me is the map editor. This was the main reason I bought the expansion. I really want to create my own galaxies and not premade. At least include it in the next beta along with the custom race. And one addition please make the galaxy colour in strategy mode customizable or at least change it to something more appropriate than brown like dark grey.<
[quote]Speaking of colors, and I know this has been suggested before... but it would be great if players could change the color of the "fog of war" background. I could never figure out why it's that muddy brown color, instead of something neutral like gray. I dialed down the saturation of the Drath orange color for the UI, but I couldn't use the resulting color I wanted, because it was too close to the brown fog color (my autopilot paths were hard to see). Even if it's not actually code
I vote for December. The expansion will get even better if we wait for February, March, April and so on.. I think releasing the game on 12 December instead November adds extra waiting time and January even more.. I pre-ordered and playing beta. I would like to have the final version on holidays and play a lot. Additionaly Stardock will lose the Christmas opportunity. I suggest 2 options A. Release a finished expansion on December and update it later on update 2.0 with all ex
+ FIX Capped the number of possible stars in a randomly generated galaxy (ie not a custom map) to be 300, which should help with the memory problems. + TWEAK: Thumbnails are now 64 x 64 instead of 128 x 128, to reduce memory usage Please dont force TWEAKS over quality. these should be removed from update. Or you could create a performance tweak tab in the options so people with slow machines can use low, medium or high settings.
When you press Ctrl+N the AI was resetting difficulty level. Did you fix that?
Actually the movie "Time Machine"... a recent production with a crazy young professor he travels back in time to stop his girlfriend murder but it happens again then he travels into future...
Since the planet is being destroyed by pollution, our minds are bombarded with violence (see game and movie industry) the people lose their rights and so on.. humanity will never reach ascension. We wont be able even to colonize Mars we will die in a barren and polluted planet after a 3rd world war. Thanks to US that push the world in this direction... Am I pessimist? Probably.. but I was not few years ago now its just obvious the world goes down.. Ascension ? Ha.. Maybe anot
Kryo please answer my questions please. Custom maps will be playable on Metaverse? Will be there a gold edition for those who have both expansions? Will much better if we can just 1 installation and 1 serial number much simpler than multiple installations,registrations..
Finally a map editor! Just 2 questions.. custom maps will be playable on Metaverse? And what about a Gold Edition? Will be much better if we can download it instead having multiple installations.
I dont believe in god either and I live in Greece where religion is a kind of tradition. So everybody has to believe because the family the friends believe. I think the same happens more or less eveywhere. Since I was kid I always wondering, hoping and afraid the idea of god. God will help me? God will punish me? But for me always there was something wrong I could not accept this idea. So becoming a teenager started asking myself and others. I discovered most if not all of famil
the game is unstable every time I start a new game I use ctrl+N till I found a good position on the map but after the patch it crashes very often when Im doing this why stardock does not create a map creator/editor? would be much better and please.. add a tick box to save the password in login window for metaverse
the colony ship has only 250m colonists capacity even if I create a custom ship its the same is this because of the patch or something is wrong with my game?
I agree with LightVader on all issues. I have notice the issue with colony ship I suppose the 2nd colony module is for design reasons only it does not add anything at all space or cost. And on the issue with ship components.. thats another unbalance that tends to keep a balance.. it looks stupid having the same weapon with different size on bigger ships but thats the way they choosed to keep balance on the game. personally I dont like it and I would like to see a huge ship armed
GalCiv2 Forums
I have mention sometimes things I would like to see. Here the last discussion about survey ships and more. WWW Link And of course a map editor and an external ship editor. Some fix regarding wide screen monitors will help too.. I work at 1920x1200 so sometimes I see some graphics stretched..
Its a great idea.. There are 2 things in this game that I dont like so much.. you get some bonus without a good reason. 1st is the space anomalies.. just put some spots on the map and send survey ships to explore them and you get a random bonus.. 2nd the bonus resources.. military, morale, research and economic. Built starbases and you increase them.. What Jae suggests is a much better idea instead space anomalies. Lets say we forget the idea space anomalies and instead we
Who are you? This is a question to Stardock posters like Kryo, Frogboy.. and others. You have answered so many questions to us. Can you answer this one too? Would be nice to know a little info for the developers of GalCiv2. For example you were working always in game industry? You were dreaming to become a game developer? How old are you? Do you play GCII? (not for testing but for fun)
I have also a similar problem. When I visit this site on homepage I'm not logged in and I see the login applet. I put my username and password but nothing happens the page refreshes and Im still not logged in. The weird thing is that if I press any other link like here in forums I am logged in.. the problem is only on the first page. It does not cause me any problems just its weird. Maybe the fact I have changed my e-mail too causes the problem?
