Reply to governor rally points in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Hm sorry I dont see anything usefull here. Im not sending ships "blindly" somewhere ie 10 ships to south 1 and while the first 2 arrive the starbase is finished, I have to reroute the other 8ships to south 2.... thats just stupid. The only and just usefull thing about governor rallypoints would be as said: seting the orders for each planet, so new constructed ships fly to the designed rallypoint. Right now (and always did) I construct battelships close to the enemy border,

ships given away not moving in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I noticed it, once again, that from time to time, ships I give away to some other civ, dont move to their new owner, they stay in the same spot they were at, as I gave them away. This occurs especialy for Torians and when an enemy is between our regions (Torians and mine). The netresult: the reinforcements I give to the torians (or whatever other civ, it happens to all, but Torians the most and also not always) never reach the fields of battle, so being quite useless.

governor rally points in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

What is actualy the point of the "governor" rally points? I thought its for each planet, so I can set various destination for any starport building ships, but actualy its empire-wide. And I can just set RP for either ships doing nothing, whats about those who SHOULD wait, and those who are already doing something. I just noticed this system just sent all my colony ships to the drenging border where Im about to amass a battle fleet, for no reason, ok actualy its because I set the gover

Reply to Changing starting AbilityBonus and TechTree/Research Points. in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

the "customization points" dont work, I changed them from 0 to 100, ingame happens absolutely nothing. I keep my 10 points all the time changings the abilities result in nothing too (at least at my side). example: the custom race have 25 soldiering 25 loyalty and 6 logistics. Lets say you edit planet quality to 10 and start the game, now you have population growth 10, but only 7 customization points left. On the other hand, you could set soldiering to 0 (thats actualy 1 po

good and evil in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

justa few points a) there is NOTHING usefull happening for good alignments. anything that comes up with a bonus, is an evil decision. thats crap b) it does not realy matter much how "powerfull" some evil decision is, the alignment moves to the evil side at lightspeed. On the other hand, when doing something good, that actualy always criples the civ, it like with 1 pixel per event. thats ridiculous!

Reply to Question/Idea with Modding in v 1.2 in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

yes you can add new models without overwriting old ones open the gc2types.xml and add a new "hull" section, basicaly gc2 have 0,1 and 2 hulls for any size except for cargo, there are just 0 and 1.

Reply to Subdirectories in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

you have to use an own mod directory in the mods folder. place a techtree.xml in the data folder, this will replace the original tree, and place one to the tech subfolder, this stuff will be added on top of your replacement tech file, actualy its no longern necessary to use it

there is a fonts folder, copy your new font there. you have to rename it to match the already used fonts, as the used fonts seems to be hardcoded into the exe. I couldnt find a single line of text refering to what font is used, so renaming is your best choice.

Reply to Tech with more than one requirement? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

are you sure it works syneris? because I tested it too, having a new tech basing on space militarization and xeno engineering. The new tech showd messy as on your screenshot, but as I inveted space militarization, I could already research the new tech, no xeno engineering needed. So I gave it up.

Reply to Tech with more than one requirement? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

one requirement is hardcoded, I already asked for the option to use more required techs for more complex tech trees, no answer yet and the thread is somewhere on page x already, not even one answer, not even from someone who like the idea

Reply to Success... new races in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Got Ascendancy too and I can say, I hated the races there. All this weird creations, who would never be able to explore the galaxy using ships. Its all about evolution. If you dont have hands, you cant manipulate tools. How would you then explore using a ship? It would be ridiculous to thinkg any race would either use organic technology, shiping around in organic ships, or being telepaths using telekinese to use their tools. It will always come down to humanoid like races.

if you just want to alter the cots, edit the techtree for research cost, or the gc2types for ship module costs I used to play with the german version, when I wanted to retire, I got the "string not found" error, in the english version I get the "are you sure you want to retire" (or something like that) question. so the internal ID for the retire-question defines the window, and the question itself is the string. you speak about string not found in FR stat page... so most likely you go

moding suggestion: more then one required tech in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

god knows why, but I removed all galciv2 data from my pc, restarted, reinstalled everything, and now anything works. suggestion: I would like to see at least 2 required techs in the future. I got some ideas for few ship components and planetary improvements, but they would need at least 2 techs before they can be build. So more required categories would be fine and open the path to more complex, cross-tech trees.
