Reply to Next ship selection fails. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Ummm...on your options screen, do you have "End Turn Skips Moves Left" set to ON (default) or OFF? If you have it turned off, and your autopilot ship reaches its destination but still has moves left, it will stop and let you move that ship more, and then go to the next ship on autopilot.

Reply to Getting a lot more crashes to the desktop with Beta 2a in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

If you can see the selection brackets but not the ship that's generally a gfx error. If you have both battleaxe.mdl and starhawk.mdl in your gfx directory, that could be causing the disappearing starhawk problem, although I'm not sure if it would actually cause a crash. I'm going to have to go into the code that reads in the files and make it a bit smarter. I've already suggested this to John, but if anyone else has the problem with ship ranges, make sure that you have the file "erro

Reply to Auto-Pilot goes the wrong way in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

If it was a longer path, there could have been an anomaly there when it first created the path, so it still went around it. I had thought that I noticed some odd behavior though, so I restored the hit detection code to its previous state. (I had made changes to the hit detection, which the pathfinding uses, because of the odd way it was choosing what enemy to hit first if you passed by an enemy star with ships in orbit when there was an alien ship directly ahead of you.) We will be cha

Reply to Influence graph again in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Ok, it should be trivial to fix the graph, but since we are discussing the way influence is saved and spent, I will try to clarify my post from the 27th. Every game turn, the influence of colonized star systems is added to their owner's total influence. That is what the graph currently displays, which is why it drops to zero after the UP meets, because it has been spent. I was attemting to explain why it is rational for this behavior, rather than losing it slowly as Dominic

Reply to Bugs, Issues, ect. in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

1) Um, I guess that Brad forgot to copy over the new files. 2) 3) It was backwards for the humans before, and we corrected it. 4) The minor races don't have their own color coded font yet, which explains the first error. Apparently we missed a few places to set a default font. The Attempt to play unregistered file is either due to you not having the multimedia installed, or is again because of the minor races. The final message was probably provok

Reply to How to win in B2 in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Well, we could put checksums on the files and then if we find a file with an invalid checksum or a file that we don't have a checksum for, then we simply don't let them submit their score.

Reply to Beta 2 Bugs? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

The starhawk file can be downloaded from the library. StarHawk.ship goes in the data directory and StarHawk.mdl goes into the Gfx directory. I wanted to know the Galaxy size so that I'd know what level to test on. I'll check into the population and destabilization stuff.

Reply to Influence graph again in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Also, all the AI have their own influence, which they spend too. When you go to vote on something, and you are using your influence, you're calling in favors, throwing your weight around, and promising favors in return. So it is kinda like spending a currency, because if you did it all the time, it would lose effectiveness. So you save your influence until the voting issue comes up (or trade it away before hand), and then it is spent until time accrues enough more influence for the next vote.

Reply to Little items in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

1) We're aware of it, but have had other, bigger things to fix. It's a problem with how the tooltip window figures out how to size itself. 2) fixed 3) Oh yeah...I didn't add it to the save game code. Guess that's what I'll work on next. There are other issues to vote on...you didn't get any with the last update? You can check out the issues in the folder UP_Issues, a subfolder of the data folder. There's a problem with the capital X in that font, which
