[quote who="I-Mod Stefan" comment="3"] no, a teammember of I-Mod, who is currently promoting on university has made them they are much more detailed then the original ones. Now we have the possibility to use them. [/quote] My mishtake then, I didn't think we'd have new models so soon ;) .

From looking I would guess that those are retextured default models.

The Mod Metaverse website in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Stefan recently unveiled the Mod Metaverse, formerly a personal project of mine but now much improved and redone by the whole I-Mod team. For a lot of this week I have been working on the website side of the MMV. With most of the features now in place, I’ve been focusing on building the visuals and bugfixing; I have spent

Sounds great, can't wait (to start working on & playing it).

[quote who="DethAdder" comment="2"] Is this the continuation of the Mod Metaverse MacMatt had developed? I know he's with I-Mod now so I assume it is. If so, I'm glad to see it hit primetime . [/quote] Yes indeed it is, I've been working on the web portion of it :) .

Reply to Get More From Your Screenshots with Snagit 9 in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

Whilst it looks nice and I'm sure would be a timesaver if you regularly have to take screenshots, but I think £25 is a lot to pay for something as basic as screenshotting if you're only a casual user.

Do you mean with custom graphics? If so, yes. Just poke around the ShipCfg files.

Techs is stuff you want to add on to the main TechTree.xml and TechTrees is for new custom tech trees.

When I've used the modular files in the subdirectories I've copied the XML headers into my files, which seems to work. And for other files, they go in ModFolder/Data. There is no Data\English folder ever used in the mod folder.

May sound a stupid question, but have you started a new game, put the NewWeapons.xml into ModFolder\Data\ShipComponents and researched the techs you set up?

Hey, is someone missing from that article... ;)

Reply to Help with Race-specific Tech please in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I notice that for the requirement of the first tech you put "Impossible Tech" when it should be "ImpossibleTech" (without a space). That could be what's causing it.

Reply to the all around spacestation in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I don't think it is, as abilities are hardcoded to certain types of starbases. Also, race-specific starbase styles are AFAIK also impossible.

Reply to Galactic Date in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Yes, it is hardcoded.

Reply to Help; Which file do I modified??? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Hey, that's ok :) . I did put the actual tag names in my post as well, but the forum seems to have eaten them :P .

Reply to Help; Which file do I modified??? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Go into Data/English and the file you want is GC2Types.xml . Then you edit the tag of whichever you want to change.

Reply to looking for something in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Ship textures were improved massively in both expansion packs, although I can't think of any mods that improve texture quality. There is [link="http://www.i-mod-productions.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=78"]the Hi-Res graphics mod[/link], that adds higher-detail planet textures.

If you play the 'Battle of the Gods' scenario you start with all techs researched. Not sure if it works with TA's custom trees though.

Reply to Custom Starbase Look? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Each starbase has a ShipCfg file in Data/ShipCfg which you can then edit to change the appearance of it.

Reply to newbish modding question in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

The mod folder setup is different to the stock one. A RaceConfig.xml would have to be in Mods->ModName->Data, with no English folder. Also, a ModDescription.xml has to be present in the root mod folder, you can copy & edit the one from Default. Also make sure you've started a new game.
