Reply to [MOD] Gauntlet's Race Mod (UPDATED R-1.7 for Retribution 4.21!) in GalCiv III Custom Races GalCiv3 Forums

Thanks for the advice Gauntlet. I frankly doubt that I am up to it with the tools available. It seems that pronounced texture and engraving is key to the designs that I have in mind. The ship building tools in the game are great and some nice texture is available but not to the extent of the pictured ship. I looked through the posted designs and one of the better designs other than yours was from Gizmo..., who said that he invests at least 12 hours into his designs. Obviously that kin

Reply to Add option to have ship schematics that only last one game in GalCiv III Future Ideas GalCiv3 Forums

Why don't you use some system with your ships? If I build medium sized Reaper in a game it is Reaper M1. If I modify it later it becomes Reaper M2, and I don't overwrite Reaper M1. I'm not saying I don't eventually have a clutter that needs to be cleaned up, but I don't have to create a new ship every game. My problem is making too many designs that are not much different than others, just because I like to design ships.

Reply to Steam workshop guidelines for uploading? in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

LOL, my grandson is a MLP person, so I sort of understand. I don't understand why it was banned and the others weren't. I doubt you are going to get an answer from Steam. There are voice actors involved. It is possible that the actor for Applejack happened to become aware of your use of the image and complained. I am sure that Steam would not hesitate to remove any faction if a complaint is lodged.

Reply to [MOD] Galactic Diversity Custom Traits Mod in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

Deathwynd, I really like this mod but I wish you could fix it to where it does not zero out the existing faction traits when you edit a faction. If you decide not to edit and cancel you are left with zero traits. There are times when I need to revert to standard traits and it would be neat if there were and off/on choice for this mod without having to redo all the traits that were there before, if you get what I mean. :) Obviously, when using this mod if you upload a faction t

Reply to [MOD] Gauntlet's Race Mod (UPDATED R-1.7 for Retribution 4.21!) in GalCiv III Custom Races GalCiv3 Forums

Hi Gauntlet, I have been thinking about trying to build a ship set in a style of an ancient humanoid race based on a style of futuristic, imperial opulence. I am thinking of the Dune style ships and/or the ships in Jupiter Ascending. The ships would not necessarily be in in good taste but built by a race that is so wealthy and advanced they can indulge any style whim that they wish, regardless of functionality. I was wondering if you could give me some ideas on whether or not the ship

Disappointing change in the Steam workshop in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

As of today, the workshop will only feature ship templates. All weapons and other equipment are stripped from the upload. I have no idea why they changed this. I certainly prefer to subscribe to a ship already outfitted. It is not a huge deal I guess, but the placement of weapons engines, modules, etc. added a lot to the appeal of many of the designs and they look a bit sterile with everything stripped.

Reply to Can't delete factions in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

It is still showing opt-in for me, but the delete function is working now and the workshop activity has picked up a lot. If it has gone to final release I can't see it. I thought you had deleted the post, but I guess the point they were making is that the 1.1 opt in was advertised as sketchy and perhaps subject to unannounced fixes. I would certainly assume they will announce the final release, if it has not been done yet.

[quote who="The_Gear" reply="4" id="3571248"] Try un-checking this option, to see if Steam re-installs those factions after doing so. http://sd.stardock.com/brad.ather/Jingimages/2015-07-08_1541.png [/quote] No that does not work. The solution posted by P-DEX is the only way I have found to get rid of the factions in question. The delete selection no longer works at all for any in

Reply to Problem creating a new race in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

The portrait is not used for the start screen or the diplomatic screen. It uses the foreground image. This image must be positioned correctly (basically centered) to work right. This might be the problem or maybe it's something else. Post a screen shot if you can.

Can't delete factions in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

There was some kind of game update that downloaded today and I can no longer delete factions. If you unsubscribe they are deleted but I have several that I need to delete that the originator has taken off of the workshop and I can not unsubscribe. If I go to my files and delete them from faction Steam re-installs them. Is there some way to stop Steam from restoring the files? I have turned off anything I can find about cloud in Steam properties. This is driving me nuts. Anyone else ha
