Reply to Question about Scenario Modding. in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Have you added the Krynn and Korath into every place they need to be? Comparing scenario files that is the only difference I can find.

Reply to Worlds of sci fi in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

There is a Star Trek mod, it has a sticky thread in this very forum. A Star Wars mod and a Stargate mod are in the works, you can check them out on I-Mod, as well as many different mods by foxthree, like his AvP mod, as he said :) .

Reply to Campaign Editing Problem in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Are you sure the scenario/map names are correct? Also, is the 'Missions' parameter correct?

Reply to Is there a simple way to search for Mods that are Metaverse compatible in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

A few are, but there is no real way to filter it down. 'Stardock certified' doesn't mean it's MV-compatible though.

Reply to My tech modding problem since official release in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I just thought of another thing, SporeWeapons could be in the Korath's tech tree file, in which case you'd need to copy it into the main TechTree.xml .

Reply to Campaign Editing Problem in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Could you post an extract from your campaign file? That might help.

Reply to Is there a way to filter mods so that only TA compatible mods are displayed? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

If you just look at the most recent mods, most of them [i]should[/i] be for TA. But there is no way for them to be filtered down.

Reply to My tech modding problem since official release in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I think its because spore weapons require the Korath's Super Ability. You could change all races to have it, but then you would lose the other Super Abilities.

Reply to Help custom ships!!!!!!! in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

This may sound like a stupid question, but did you research medium scale building? Also, what version of the game are you running? If it's DA or TA, the code given in the readme is probably out of date.

Reply to Modding Question: Do I have to redo mod for Twilight? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

You could try adding extra IDs to the conversations file and see what happens.

Reply to Modding Question: Do I have to redo mod for Twilight? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

1) A custom races feature was added in DA which allows you to create races in-game. This then creates a .customracexml file in the My Games folder that you can tweka further if you want. 2) Yes, you will have to start over. 3) Yup. 4) No, the races are not backwards compatible. Hope that helps :) .

Reply to Custom Race modding in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Presumably not many, certainly not custom tech trees. Custom races made in-game should be fine though, as per DA.

Reply to Canvassing Browser Recommendations in Off-Topic GalCiv2 Forums

I have a crazy number of browsers installed (IE8, Firefox, Opera, Safari, and many others), although I nearly always use Firefox, using the IE tab addon for stupid websites. I think Firefox's main strength lies in the addons, although the vanilla is still very advanced. I would also recommend Opera, as to me it seems a good browser, my main complaint being that I think it is ugly, although that may not be an issue for you. In short, I'd recommend Firefox and Opera.

Reply to Adding a screen to GC2 in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Nope, what's available to us in the dxpack is just cosmetic, the functionality is hardcoded into the game. However, it may be possible to add a few simple things into the UI using DesktopX's JavaScript/VBScript functionality; I did try adding an in-game clock to the main screen, but it ended up causing the game to crash.

Reply to are there some good tech tree links out there? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

You only need approval to have it displayed in the listings, not to be available for download.

Reply to You asked for it screenshots of the Futurama mod in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I think the Nimbus would be better off as the largest hull size, and the PE ship perhaps a small rather than medium? Looks good btw.

Reply to Custom Race modding in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I don't know if it'll work or not, but I suppose you could just change the tag to reference your Custom race techtree file. As is the custom race is assigned the Terran techtree, so I assume it is doable.

[quote]I'll fix the Doop part But im not changing the name of Benders race because there might be kids playing this.And it might be inaprotait besides I think that it sounds cool and others might agree with me.[/quote] If kids are playing this that means they have watched Futurama and are unlikely to be offended by the language.

Reply to Modding Starting BC in TotA? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

It's not doable for the base game, but you may be able to through a custom map or scenario, I can't remember.

Reply to How do you delete "Resources" in DA without making a custom Map? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

If you want to get rid of the floating resources in space you can just edit them out of ResourceTypes.xml. Make sure to back up files or use a mod folder though.
