Folks, I just downloaded the mod from this location and extracted it with zero problems.

WWW Link

Not sure why you're getting extraction errors.

I bet people have internet problems and dont even know it. I know when your modem loses conection for a second it could mess up the files your downloading, that happened to me when i first downloaded the mod. It said the files were curupted so i just downloaded right after that and it was ok. i would be mad too coming from a star trek fan, but to be on the safe side i would close all other windows or downloads let your connection focus on one download, you know what i mean im not going to sound like verizon telling you to make sure your dsl or phone line is snuged into the back of your computer or into a the phone jack. GOD I HATE VERIZON WITH THERE FAULTY PIECES OF CRAP MODEMS THEY SEND YOU.

That is similar to the problem I had. I have downloaded the file several times, I used Getright as well as tried it with another download manager. I have been able to download other large files without any problems, so I am not sure what is going on. Is there another link to the mod, or one of the previous versions? Each time I would try to install at first I would get a notice partway through the install saying that the file had had download problems, but each time I have done it it is in the same spot and I get this error "gfx/models/bop2.png: Bad CRC c908324f (Should be a7ef63e 2) Possible cause file transfer error"

So if this error is not the same one other people get then perhaps it is the connection, but if it is the same then I think something may be wrong with the mod that makes it not work for certain systems or something. I don't know, I am a newb but I have downloaded the Babylon mod and it worked fine.

I tried to download this mod 6 times and it doesn't work because the zip file is to big and it is damaged all the time through the download. Too bad i really wanted to play the mod oh well. I guessing it didn't work in the first place good luck ever getting it to work ever. [email protected]

I can understand your frustration but the download works. I've tested it twice in the last 48 hours without any issues. We wouldn't of release it if had major issues.

Make sure you are downloading it from this location:

WWW Link

If you are using a slow internet connection use a download manager program.

I have download but all the files are corrupted in it. The game doesn't even work or is it for the expansion only of GC2.

Guys,

I had the same issues as many of you. Tried downloading several times, but Verizon would always screw it up after like 800 megs. Finally got lucky, and completed the download. Upon extraction, it would say so and so file is corrupt.

Downloaded and used Getright, and it worked on the first go around. Simple fix.

YEA finnaly, I actually had to download it 5 times to get it right... if you have problems with the file while extracting it just redownload it and it might work right once in a while... anyway it's well worth the wait. Tks for that awesome mod.

See, verizon is just plain evil

I tried it as the Ferengi, and got several bugs / oddities -

- Invisible components
- A rogue planet in my home system! Different name, no matching star nearby.

I've tried to install this mod several times. I have decent DSL, but your download takes over an hour. And that was at a constant download speed. The main problem I have found is that all of the ships are invisible, not just the Terran ones. The Terran ship fix extracted normally, but had no positive effect in game play.

My whole-hearted suggestion to you - break this download into smaller chunks. I get 7 megs/sec normally. My guess would be if you broke this mod into individual folders or groups of folders this download would take a fraction of the total time. The 1 gig+ size turns almost any connection short of fiber or cable into the internet analogue of LA's 405 during rush hour. It would also allow you to more easily find problems in the total mod download as a whole.

One thing I did notice as I downloaded this file - several times - was the exact same files wound up broken over and over again. The effect these files have on the extraction is quite noticeable. The extraction goes in order. Once you run into one of these files, nothing else in the corresponding folder copies over whether it's good or not. It means you have to extract the majority of the non-broken files manually.

Other than that, your mod works as advertised, including the majority of the movies. Fix the all-invisible-ships, the broken files, and include smaller multiple downloads as an option (say break it down into 250-300Mb chunks). Do that, and you have an absolutely kick butt mod.

On a side note, you guys ever thought of doing a Robotech mod? Not sure the concept would port easily to GC2. But from what I've seen so far, you would be fairly up to the task.

Please make sure you delete any races files, ship files and save game files located in the C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2 directory. Otherwise you will have issues running the mod.

As far as the the mod extraction problems please refer to the multiple posts on this subject. Most people find that a download manager takes care of this issue.

Oh... I don' really want to lose all of that stuff (junk?) but can I cut it to somewhere else and move it back when I'm done?

As a side note, will that affect Dark Avatar? (Removing all of my Saves, Ships, and Races), or just Dread lords?

I have GC2 Gold and the mod doesn't work It crashes on game start

hey han has anybody on the team made a scnerio for the mod

Thanks very much for making this.

I was told this wouldn't work with GC2 Gold because that's 1.5 by default and this is only 1.4 compatible. Are there any plans to make it work with 1.5 anytime soon?

Thanks again,
Peter

@Brownzie,

A couple of people made some cool maps but I don't think anyone has put together a full scenario.

@Pjpeter,

Yes we are working on making it 1.5 compatible.
Thanks

Cant wait too to play this awesome looking mod...wish u guys had no private life and would bring an update for the 1.5 gold version^^.

For me as a trekki it looks much better than the original game.

yeah i havent played my star trek legacy for three months

Hello Folks!

I just wanted to come bye and say hello! I'm very sorry I kind of took off without a trace, I did let the mod members know, I just had some very good things happen, and they needed my full undivided attention for a short bit, but I'm around again, and already working on the DA version also! nice to see everyone is still here!

Curious about one thing on the mod. Anything going to happen with the Campaign? That is, will there be one?

Or is it just going to be a bunch of scenarios?

In addition to this, I had an idea.

Will we ever see 'correct' weapons, instead of the generic, Laser, Plasma, Phasor, Disruptor, ect? If that happens, I came up with an idea to replace Doom Ray. Bioelectric Weapons, the weapon used by 8472. Just a thought.

Welcome back Renfl!

hmmm, a lot of weapons work ahs been done , just hasn't been released, because of us taking a break - but i'm trying to get ack in touch again to get some work done and things out for you, also working on the tip Rav8 provided me to help with the DA expansion

Hey Ren Can you zip the st mod file and make it 700mb or less?

The next release WILL be available as both WinRAR, WinZIP, as well as being divided up, and available as a download as a whole.
