I'm going to try and get one up this week. It may not fix the memory errors that people have been getting, but it should take care of the pathfinding bugs and the error 12s, although I recommend that people submit any metaverse games they want to submit before updating just in case.

I think that you guys will find the new additions to be really cool. I don't usually play as the Korx but I did today to test them, and the new abilities are very fun. + NEW: Added War Profiteering ability, which allows you to profit from other civilizations' wars. + NEW: Added persistent trade route ability, which prevents your trade routes from cancelling after your mini-freighter has been destroyed too many times. + NEW: Changed creativity to randomly finish the te

Hey all, I apologize for the delay. But we had a lot of changes in this build and we decided that it would be better to wait until tomorrow to put up the next beta so that we have a little more time for internal testing.

Heh...actually, I think that 6:30 is right around the time we usually get it up. :) But no, we're not going to put it up today. We just had too many changes so we're going to wait until tomorrow to give us some more time to do internal testing.

JoeUser ForumsI think that it would be more accurate to say that the DS games are more likely to appeal to younger and casual gamers. I have a bunch of arcadey type games that I play when I don't want to invest a lot of time into playing (before bed, waiting in the doctor's office, etc) and I absolutely love them. My current addiction with the DS is PuzzleQuest, which I've almost finished. There a

[quote]hmm, what you stated about the reloads are only true if there is a variable that carries over after i shut off the game. As soon as i start the game, i can always depend on it to go out of memory on the 4th save. [/quote] Hmm...well that is obviously not the case for me. Would you please e-mail your prefs.ini and debug.err from My Documents\My Games\GC2DarkAvatar to me at [email protected]

I found something that might be causing a memory leak when loading a game from within a game or starting a new game from within a game, and I updated the test build here if anyone wants to try it: https://forums.galciv2.com/?AID=167594#1389867

neilo, I need you to e-mail in your save game that you can't submit, plus the corresponding xml file from your My Documents\My Games\GC2DarkAvatar\Metaverse folder. Make sure that you zip the save game so that it doesn't get stripped. I've told support to assign tickets about error 12 to me. As for those of you calling for another public update, I don't want to put up another build before it's ready. I have been having trouble tracking down the memory leaks that peopl

I left GalCiv2 running on my testbox in AI test mode, autosaving every other turn, all yesterday and all last night and it still hasn't run out of memory. This suggests to me that the leak isn't happening in game. Do those of you who are getting this error save and reload a lot? Or hit CTRL+N a lot? If the leak is in the code that is supposed to clean up between games, that would explain why I've been unable to find it.

chazzie, no, if you're getting blank icons in Dark Avatar, that's probably unrelated. E-mail a screenshot and your debug.err to [email protected] and he'll check it out. You can take a screenshot by hitting CTRL+Printscreen, and it will be saved in your My Documents\My games\GC2DarkAvatar\ScreenShots folder.

Since we posted some of the new stuff with Beta 3a earlier this week, it isn't quite as long of a list as normal, but I think that you'll find the Krynn add a lot to the game. I also want to take the time to thank you guys for the great job you've been doing with the beta reports. Just as a reminder though, don't send in your reports to [email protected] unless you actually can't start the game or something of that nature and you nee

I updated the link with another test build. This makes some changes to the way that the available opponents list works on the screen where you select your opponents for a game. If you make several variants of one of the major races (not a custom race), all of the variants will show up in the list until one is enabled. Then the others are removed from the list. Disabling the race will cause it and all of its variants to return to the list. I also undid some code that

[quote]I have a few questions pertaining to the relative ease with which these systems (tech tree, component editor, etc.) can be used.[/quote] It should be fairly easy to use the editors. Since we don't use scripting in GalCiv2, you won't be able to make something completely different from what exists already, but you can use the attributes that are available to make new stuff. These docs are rather out of date, but they're a good start for info on the data fields:
