Over $100 for Imperium Galactica? Im glad I keep track of all my software :D -Gonzo

How come you never backed King up? It looked like you started to shift some stuff over there, but when he had to recall his cap and hoshis to his homeworld nobody continued the attack. -Gonzo

Download Maps Mapinstall.exe included - File to modify galaxy.manifest appropriately when new galaxy files are installed. Try it out :3 Mapinstall.exe updated to detect duplicate galaxy entries. Mapinstall.exe updated to include better duplicate checking Mapinstall.exe updated to be able to remove entries as well with "-r" Im not sure how many of you have played any of these maps, as they haven'

With all the different file edits and directories involved, what's the best way to distribute a map with the least amount of headache to the end user?

Copy map to Documents and Settings/Username/Local Settings/Application Data/Ironclad Games/Sins of a Blah Blah/Galaxy Edit galaxy.manifest to reflect the map changes.

Been broken since they began censoring links a number of years back. I remember the Google of old... used to find things :) ... I mean you still can... just not without a whole lot of crap... I miss my pre-IPO google :( -Gonzo

Not Windows 7... just Vista SP3 run through another Mojave Experiment: Convince hordes of people, who probably shouldn't be on networked computers, that Windows Vista is not Windows Vista... Also: As far as I know Microsoft allows an upgrade disk to install a fresh copy, it will just request the media of a previous version to ensure that the upgrade is valid. Maybe they changed this with Vista SP3... but if they did, it's just another reason to question why you'd want W

Should do fine by that spec... I'd avoid anti-aliasing. -DrGonzo

[quote who="ShadowMastiff2468" reply="2" id="2228784"] Think about it ! MOVING SHIPS! that simple notion got me convinced to buy it and havent regretted it since! [/quote] It added moving ships?! I gotta play more :3 -Gonzo

The world doesn't function according to your quasi-eutopian ideals. Enjoy your lack of sins. -DrGonzo

Replying to threads has some quirks. -Gonzo

Spoiler: All consoles are for casual gamers. The fact that you [people] are arguing over which one of these failure-consoles is superior is incredibly amusing to the PC crowd [ie: The sins crowd]. Most of our videocards have more power than all 3 of your consoles combined. Yes , they cost more. Yes , they rule more. Yes , what seperates men from boys is the price of their toys. Get back to school, all of you! Leave th

Is the replay feature of this game ever going to work right? Why tease people with it? -Dr.Gonzo

[quote who="JohnJames" reply="10" id="2230557"]Quoting Kellmar, reply 8 10.. I think they had 10 and sold all 10 [/quote] Sweet! I got 10% of the world's supply of CE :D -Gonzo

PC > all Current consoles have ruined an entire generation of video games-- reduced in quality and content to sell to the masses of mouth breathing teenagers. /thread -Gonzo

[quote who="Star Adder" reply="24" id="2225907"]America is unlikely to use nukes ever again. Nukes have a terrible reputation. If the President used nukes in war, he is sure to lose the next election. The American people would be outraged. Well, at least the democratic part of the population would. The Republicans... that's another pair of shoes... [/quote] Spoiler: A democrat signed off on dropping *both* of the atomic bombs used on civilian targets to date. kthxbye.

I remember playing a BASIC game called "42" when I was just a toddler... it had to be somewhere around '85-'86... That's definitely the oldest I can concretely remember :) -Gonzo

Ditch the E2200 for an E6600 or better. You can get a great Wolfdale [E8500?] core for a very reasonable price now. There is a difference beyond clock speeds with the low end versus high end core2 chips. I personally have an E6600 and can vouch for a stable [ie: left on for years] 50% overclock on air with a decent heatsink and case. The graphics card also has to go... NV8800 series or better / ATI equivalent. Those two properly configured and tuned will make a whole world of difference.

Where's StG-44/MP-44?! FOREFATHER TO THEM ALL D:

Pass on it... or wait for it to come way down in price for the following reasons: 1: $50 for a new game is BS, especially one as unfinished as this one 2: By the time it's say, $20, computer hardware will have increased significantly. 3: By the time it's say, $20, the game will hopefully be patched to playability Just my two cents, Im glad a buddy had a copy to evaluate... I would have been miffed if I had spent $50 on that game. Just a weak offe

Start FFA so that there are no locked teams to unbalance... Keeps the situation more fluid.

[quote]Is there a way to quickly tell how many military labs/science labs that I have? And do you usually build them a couple at each planet until you get what you need, or one at a planet as you expand?[/quote] For the labs question you can mouse over the research icon at the top middle and it should give you an info card that tells you how many of each you have. As for building them, the rhyme and reason depends more on local conditions and expected tech requirements than a

[quote]Half arsed is right. The console port of Mass Effect was pretty good. The interface was certainly an improvement. Problem is something the newer Nvidia drivers just grabs the game by the spine and breaks it in 20 places. Neither Bioware nor Nvidia seem to be doing anything to fix the problem. And us people on Steam are still missing the DLC.[/quote] [quote]Even worse: games that run poorly on high-end systems (usually half-arsed consoles ports). GTA IV and Saints
