Fixing this so that it is automatic in the edit race screen would be a good addition to 1.7.

Reply to Lost graphics in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Kyro I thank you for the suggestion. I had made a few mods and thought I may have deleted something or accidentally moved a folder/file in error. Your suggestion was correct. Ironically, I had set the zoom slider to 100%, after turning it down to 30 the planets and ships have reappeared. phew!! Thanks.

Lost graphics in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I have inadvertantly done something to my game that has caused the graphics on the galaxy map, the planets and ships, to not appear. All I see is the symbols that are displayed normally when you zoom out. What could have caused this and how do I fix it?

Reply to Mod Problems in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I have done something that I can not figure out. The planets and ships have disappeared on the map, all I get is the icons that you see when you zoom out. Any ideas what might have caused this and how I can fix it???????

Reply to Tech limit???? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

It took me a while to find the error I had two Weapons at the end of one of the techs vs one. Typical it was staring me in the face buy took looking over the whole list about five times. Appears to be working fine now. Thanks guys.

Tech limit???? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Is anyone aware of a limit on the number of Techs that you can add to the game? I just created about 30 new ones and they don't seem to want to appear.

How many "minor races" have you made?

Reply to Customizing Planet Names? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

i've wondered if customeplanets.xml would support starting systems for the minor races. i'm sick of stars named "Dark Yor" and "Scotlingas". Yes it does. In your racecobfig file just rename the staring star or addd that line in (ie copy one of the majors) then change the name to one of your desired Race Name="Predator" Display

terranor I have made a new version of my Yor to Borg race conversion. If you want to prevue it e-mail me [email protected]. It includes a bik file trade screen of Locutus with a new sound file "We are the Borg....". Shipconfig files, racecongig xml file, and custom planets. I have been assimillated too often lately, it is interesting to see a fleet of 8 cubes attacking your lonely enterprise NX01.

I have discovered the problem, thanks to another modder, I needed to add three lines in the raceconfig.xml file. My Borg race conversion is nearly finished.

Reply to A Modding Guide in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I made a few Borg style Bik files for movies, and placed them in the mods directory movies file. For some reason they won't work. They are 5_Trade00 to 5_Trade03. What am I doing wrong?

Reply to handling movies? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Renaming the file works just fine as long as your movies are in the Bink format.

Reply to Tech Robots in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

They are in the GALCIV2 \Movies folder with names like: NewsRobot_Alien_Evil . To change them you will need to either copy and rename the ones you like or use Rad Video tools to make a new Bink file (movie or picture).

I am sorry, I forgot to mention that you should also change the same values in the "MapRaceInfo" file to match.

Reply to What number are the different races? I don't know which race to use which ship and which size in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Just so you know. You can change the shiptypes for any of the races, including most of the minors. You do this by going into two files (make sure that the numbers match in both files) in the Data\english folder file RaceConfig you will find the assigned attributes for each major race and the modifiable minor races. change the value in these two lines if you so desire: i.e. changethe 3 to a 1,2,3,4 or 5. 3 3 I have chang
