Reply to WAYPOINTS... in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Kalin, he means multiple navigation points for ships to follow. Go here, then here then here, etc... This way you could have your fleet automatically navigate around certain areas of the map you wish to avoid. I think too few games make use of this functionality. -Brian

You can certainly tech yourself max. That is what I did. I run an architectural visualization business on the side, using max as my platform. www.splicedigital.com There are countless tutorials to get you started, and the max reference manual is pretty good at telling you what does what. Max actually comes with a series of tutorials as well, and if you have a purchased copy, you get a cd with extra tutorial content.

GalTrek™: The Defiant in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Ok here it is folks, the second installment to the GalTrek series: The Defiant. The first can be found here: [ link ], though I think that I should redo it. Please post here if you feel that you would like to make use of these ships in the future. If i know people are interested, then I will hasten my efforts. As you may or

Reply to Why Don't Minor Races Make More of an Effort in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Agreed. If the goal of minor races was to stay on their planet and leave everything else alone, then why are they always building colonizers and constructors until their spaceport is full? Also, I think we should be able to add funding to espionage for minor races. How else can I see my influence on their plants? -Brian

Reply to Exporting to .x format in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I have also found the following options to product the smallest and most compatible output: Animation Panel: Delete the active animation segment Texture and Effects: Convert texture maps, Format: PNG, scale to a power of 2 (Not sure if this is necessary for GalCiv2, but it is for some importers). X-Settings: Binary with Compressed, top frame only (I found this to be important for compatibility), Left handed axis (D

Reply to High-Res Startrek ships in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

GalCiv2 seems to display this model pretty quickly, compared with DirectX Viewer, ir even in max viewports (Kudos to Stardock team). Also, if you are running a huge galaxy, remember that once you zoom out, ships appear as icons, so only a limited number of these should appear on the screen. However you are right, the poly count is just a tad ( ! ) too high for real game play. I am going to see what I can do. I already have a sovereign at half this

High-Res Startrek ships in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Hey folks. There are some "ship designer" built startrek ships available, but I have yet to see any real modeled startrek hulls in the download section, so I thought I would put together some high res model conversions of popular startrek ships for GalCiv 2. I hope to cover all the classes from Tiny to Huge. What I’ve done so far is the Magella class (because the curves are sooOOooo sexy), and I have a link to my progress thus far: http://bhendel.splicedigital.

1.1 Turned into a war simulator in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

One of the reasons GalCiv 2 is a great game is that it isn’t all about just going to war with everyone. Pre 1.1, you saw civs that stay out of the action and pursue their strategy along a different non-militaristic route. This is my second game (Challenging, with randomized races and intelligence) in a row with 1.1 beta and both have played out in a similar fashion. The game starts out with more tension then there was in previous version

Reply to Problems with Sound in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Same problem here. It seems to happen when the entire game slows down (background AI process maybe?). The system stops filling the audio buffer and the sound subsystem churns with what data it has left. I was under the impression that it as happening to everyone… ? Xp SP2, P4 1.7, 1GB, SB Live Value, Radeon 9800 pro. -Brian

Reply to A few custom ship designs in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Why do I get the feeling like people have more extras then I do. I preordered and downloaded the game, but could I still be missing the extra goodies? For instance, I don't see a "satilite dish" anywhere. -Brian

Disable “Next Ship” focus? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

I am finding it quite annoying when, after moving a ship, the game refocus my view on the next ship with available move points. Isn’t that what TAB is for after all? Any way to disable this functionality? Will it be addressed in a patch? Thanks! Great game otherwise! -Brian
