And to answer that question... Yep. As if you can send them on Auto-attack- Thats another story- So does anyone know if this is a bug that well be crushed, or if this is the way its to be from now on? (If it is, think I'll try a Large Hull with all that stuff and see if the HP carry...) Just made the route, which is why I think it
When did this happen? This just happened, Gigantic Map, Maso (I think...), Metaverse, 1.31- I thought you couldn't arm Frieghters, and have the armed clone show up on Trade routes... At first I laughed when I saw the AI arming its Frieghters in patch 1.31- I thought- "What a waste of production time that could be put into engines",
Heck, I'll join if your tak'n people - And I'll do my best to keep you from getting knocked off the top...
1. 1. What exactly is the bonus you get. Its a bonus to your ships attack/defense 2. Is it limited to just the starships built on that planet. Yes it is. I normaly wait unti
Great work guys! Thou I hope for your sake this is the last update you guys have to do until DA is out
Your Welcome- Just finished testing it on the new patch 1.31- Guess what? it works! Here's a pic of the ships in action... Now I just need to get a Star Destroyer to fly wingma
Oops- my bad its Notepad++ not Notepad II, also once you get the blanks into the game, it might not be a bad idea to copy the shipcfg folder from the backup folder you made and paste it back over the shipcfg folder you made the changes too- That way you get to keep your custom mod ships, and don't have to look at the AI flying them around
Just wanted to give you props for such a quick update- I never knew what cool ships I can make using it! Keep up the good work
I repeat those steps with each of the ships I’ve listed. They will show up in game- then it’s a simple matter of selecting them from the shipyard and upgrading them. This well give you a blank that you can use again and again. Now for getting them into the game Before I play the Metaverse game, I start up a game change it from “Normal” to “Battle of the Gods”- Head in. Open up the ship yard and yep its all there, now its time to start the Metaverse game <a href="http://img70
No you’ve done all the hard work- Your models and thumbnails are now in the game folder. Lets get down into getting them into the game. Click back until you get to the Galciv2 root directory C:\Program Files\Stardock\TotalGaming\Galciv2- Open the data file, and find the Shipcfg folder Open it- your address bar should look like this: C:\Program Files\Stardock\TotalGaming\GalCiv2\Data\ShipCfg Once that is open, I would recommend minimizing the window and hea
First thing to do is to goto the Mod folder in question, open it up and goto the GFX folder, then the Model folder. Open it. Select all. Select Copy <img src="http://img247.imag
How to get Custom 3-D ships into Galciv2 Metaverse - A fairly straight forward process, which should be easy for anyone to accomplish. Things you’ll need: About an hour, so grab a cup of joe or cola and make yourself comfortable. Software that’ll be handy- Notepad ++, a shareware program. I'd recommend that you google it and download it- Then go ahead and install it. Now once you've done all that go ahead and click on My Computer – make sure your address bar is open for your Ex
Thanks for the post- you are a life saver
Alright, I gave up on getting the UDFM in there- It seems to be causeing the system to become unstable and crash- And I am WAY to jone'sen for a obsence/Gagatic/Metaverse Galciv2 game at the moment to try anything new- If any of y'all have any idea's on how to try to get them in there, shoot me a line- and I'll try it- Right now I'm working on getting all the ships I want in there and am taking screen shoots of the proccess. (Game/desktop), Hopefuly I'll be able to post a how-to-do back here to
Alright, when I get thru messing with the Ultimate Design Freedom Mod, I'll post a step by step what I did- complete with screen shots- With any luck I'll be done with the UDFM tinkering in a few hours, since I have to implement it and play a full game in Metaverse to see what happens- Thanks for the props Darth!
That would be nice too but the ship's Egads your right kblore... So now, not only am I lazy and I can't count- My understanding of basic Geometry it flawed... CURSE YOU PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM
Hey I was able to get the models I wanted into the metaverse by Copying there models into the galciv2/gfx/models folder and then copying the thumbnails into the galciv2/gfx/thumbnails folder. Then it was a simple matter of going into the galciv2/data/shipconfig folder and editing the .shipcfg file- example: Say I open the .shipcfg file S0_Surveyship.shipcfg, select notepad, (Well I downloaded notepad++, much smoother) and change the command line: BASE_HULL=S0_Medium_2.x to BASE_HULL=S99_Constit
I still think giving ships 'a sphere of influence' that was as large as they had moves left would simplify the entire situation. It would help on Troop Transports, and corridnating ships. Just to name a few quick pluses. I could also see it helping the AI, since if you where to start drawing those circles around the ships, each square then could get a numerical value, with the more ships hitting the square the higher the number would be- this making it easier for the AI to coordinate attack/de
I was wondering if you all could add a feature, where when you click on your ship you want to move, a cirle pops up around it like with the constructor(perhaps making the circle a different color) that shows you how far your ship can move, when you move the ship, the circle gets smaller- and contiunes to do so with every move. This way, when I have ships that have 29+ moves I don't have to count out all the sqaures to make sure I can reach my target. I know- I'm just lazy that way... <img src
Words of wisdom? Well- I have been playing on Gigantic Maps since 1.0, soley for 2 reasons- 1) It seemed to be to easy to kill of everyone, I'd simply get troop transports and bum-rush everyone. 2) The games where way to short on a small map. (3 years tops) This was back in the day when the defender didn't get to shoot back after you killed him, so I don't know if thats all changed or not- So I would question any call I would make on a map smaller then Gigantic. In this game I played I di
I agree that Alliances aren't broken- I just won my first metaverse game with one (patch 1.30)The dregin's decided they wanted to be my friend- it was either that or throw them under the wheels of the bus... So it is possible. Don't ask me how I got to close with them- I paid them some bribes early in the game to stop them from crushing me, then I built up my Military, cut off all trade to them (We where friendly at this time) was preping for war with them, when I was snuck attacked by the Tha
I'd have to vote yes in a new york minute- sounds like it would add alot more fun to the game
Have you tried loading the end game save again and do try it again. That's how i have to submit, cause I shut down my connection while playing. So I have to leave the game after it fails to post. Then I just load that and it posts after the fact. Yep... 3 times. It didn't work thou I did start it like I was suppose to- Patch 1.30 I could h
Just finished my first Metaverse game! (well second, but the first one didn't post... my bad most likely...) Version 1.3 - Maso Level, Gigantic- etc.- I could have probably taken 6 more turns and killed of the Dreg's but hey, I couldn't resist forming an Allaince with them, since they decided we where 'close'- Now, its time to reinstall Windows XP, download 1.3a and see if I can get some custom ships in there with out tripping the 'cheat flag'- then its off to the Obscene level! <img src="http:
