Uh, Says It Failed To Initialize.

Do you have .NET 2.0 installed? If not, you can get it from microsoft. If not, any other information you can give would be very helpful, since I have not personally experienced this problem.

Yes, Now It Has The Error Report Thing.

Hi everyone. Sorry that there hasn't been an update for so long. I've been pretty bogged down with school and a few other projects I'm working on. Progress is still plodding along on mod support, plus a few other changes I'm throwing into the mix. I can't say with any degree of certainty when the next update will be. I have thanksgiving week off, so I may be able to get it done then. After that, I plan on adding scenario and campaign editors into the mix.

By the way, between the galactic core and sourceforge, the project has now passed 1000 downloads. It is great to see that there is still such a strong mod community. If you guys have any suggestions, problems, or plain old comments, feel free to send them my way.



PS.
Dimzy. If you are still having problems, send me an email at [email protected], and I'll try to help you get it running. There's almost no chance that I'll have time to help you this week, but I should be able to help you out early next week or this weekend.

got a rookie question for ya. When u try to install it asks me which directory to put in. Where is the best place to put?

Could not create new map




ok on my puter drive C: is windows ME
and drive D: is windows xp also that is what drive galciv 2 is installed on
yes it is a register copy i have DA too.

same thing here. The problem is that the Map Editor supposes that we installed GalCiv2 in the default directory, which is not my case either.

Any fix ?

Had a problem loading maps made with this program. GCII kept crashing when starting a game with the map. Found out that the planets all said they belonged to the wrong stars or only a few stars having all the planets associated to them. I had to open the map in wordpad and and tell them which star they belonged too. Is there any way to do this when I first make the map? So i don't have to go through and change the woring on 78+ planets.

Oh and I'm having problems editing maps I made, the program wont let me edit a planet that's already placed on the map. I found a work around that takes too long. I have to start a new map. Place a new planet and then try to edit it right afterwards and then I might be able to or not. I have to do it like three times for it to work and then I can edit a map I already had.

I'd really like to be able to place a star and have the program ask how many planets to place around the star. I keep putting planets either too far or too close to the star. Is there a distance the planets shold be away frot he star?

I get this error when I try to launch the program:

EventType : clr20r3 P1 : 5vwpujqdoey4lfn3u4jfpib1ztrvsyue P2 : 1.0.0.0

64 bit incompatible issue?

I have the exact same problem.

mmmh! the download and installation was very simple and easy; although it is very basic and very "simple", ONE important feature is missing from that little programm: a DELETE or UNDO button as if you make a mistake or wanted to remove a planet/star..you CAN'T !

I agree with Shiva: a bigger then gigantic (18x18) will be very nice...but not primordial.

ONE thing I will love to see in this editor is a PLANET bonus control; to be able to put, let's say all homeworld with a number of specific % of bonus (research, manufacturing etc )

anyhow, thank you for the program, and have a peechee day!

Unfortunately that's just not possible--the custom map format used by the game has no way to define that.

Thanks Kryo for this answer, but it's OK: after having spent lot's of time creating 2 superb gigantic maps...I can't play them as the game keep on crashing whatever mods, tweak, configuration or voodoo dance dressed as a chicken I do....so I guess I will simply delete the whole thing and wait for a stable version of the editor.

When i try to open it, it says my version of .net framework is out of date. I have 2.0, but it says i need 2.something?
How do i solve this

sorry, I downloaded the firmware, and it works. Now when I try to open it, it asks for a directory to put it in and i don't know where to put it...

same thing here.

same.

You can edit or delete a planet, a star, and a resorce by clicking the right mouse botton on what you want to edit

I got it to work but how the hell do i move th camera and zoom? i use my mouse wheel and nothing happens i click and try drag again nothing happens, how the heck do you move on this thing?

My only question is when/if it's going to be updated to make maps for DA sense you know, that's the latest and greatest and all


Kyle

Hold the right mouse button down to drag the map. Center button to rotate and wheel to zoom.

I've already given the solution, but you're going to spend a lot of time typing... Read below.

how do i start it up?

wer do i put for the directoiry thing

Csn't run it but can install it too much hassl it sais i need a version 2. something or other of something when i went to open or run the program editor stupid game y is it sooo annoying ??

I initially had trouble running the program. I looked in the "C:\Program Files\Galciv2 Map Editor" folder and edited the "Galactic Civilizations Map Editor.exe.config" file to point to my Galciv2 folder, and all went well after that.

The other difficulty I had with the program was the planet mapping and assigning. What I ended up doing was to use the other map editor available (GC2Builder) to lay out the stars and planets where I want them, and then go back and tweak the settings in this editor. The other editor allows the user to create stars, planets, and solar systems (stars with planets assigned to them). I don't think it can move any of the items though. I also seemed to have an issue with GC2Builder creating the map upside down. Of course, it could have been me. It was really late.

I hope this helps.
