there is a way to make your game english if you bought it from german stores. simply override the translated files with english ones. As soon as I know how they managed the translation you may be able to overide the German folder with the english folder and it would work. You can look around in the I-Mod Forums (www.i-mod-productions.com) and contact me there as soon as you have bought the standalone-merge so I can assist you. -Stefan

Endless Universe is the package of Twilight and Dark Avatar for german stores, no there won't come an english version cause there already IS one.
thx, but the ships are converted from X3 ;) we just needed to retextur them and add light and bumpmaps. ehm yes matt It was a post full of happy feelings therefore the huge amount of smileys :D I announce some cool stuff for next week!
I played Galciv 2 for 10 minutes and just got another Idea to mod something...damn I am cursed, I can't play anymore *sniff* ^^

Hi FlyQ, thanks ;) yeah the bumpmaps and lightmaps are extra files. I can simply tell you how to make them. For the bumpmap, download the nvidia normal map filter plugin for photoshop so you can make a normal (bump) map out of every texture. And for lightmaps, just make a transparent texture with some colored parts that shall not be affected by shadow. It's a simple layer over the mesh like you can see in the models folder of Twilight. The really nice thing is the normal map filter plug

We're trying to face september 2008 for a good Beta.
Hey Galciv 2 Fans, Today I was modding that long on the X3 Mod that I didn't recognized I became 20 :D I have a bunch of new Screenshots for you showing the new ultra realistic nebulas, new Button Icons and the new Khaak Ships with Light and bumpmap and animated claws. Unfortunately screenshots aren't moving therefore just imagine the claws spin around ;) <td width="133" valign="

Definately 1. X3 Terran Conflict (cause I love the X Story) 2. Spore (cause it's a real new game) Only these 2 games could hold me up from modding GC2 for some hours (don't be scared, just a bit ;o) ) :D

thanks Zubaz ;) a big thanks to you for making that gold piece of software ;) I just begin using it right =)
thanks =) your words regenerate my nerves^^
Hey Galciv 2 Fans, Today I made big changes to the screens of Galciv2 using the impressive Software Desktop X, which allowed me to fully restyle the Interfaces for my X3GC2 Mod. As I promised, I further developed the hologram look, and improved the minimap holosphere. <a href="http://www.i-mod-productions.com/photoplog/file.php?n=306&am

The German Publisher Kalypso Media Gmbh is going to release a standalone-merge of the GalCiv II Addons Dark Avatar and Twilight of the Arnor by end of August in Germany. Standalone-merge means the Addons don't need the basic game Dread Lords to run. The german localisation of Galactic Civilizations II : Dark Avatar and Galactic Civilizations II : Twilight of the Arnor comes from I-Mod Product
thanks =) I feel comfortable in desktop X :)
Thanks ;) it's still not finish^^ and all other screens will become same style ;)
