Look in the mod forum someone is working on one already.

Reply to Adding Miniaturization and Logistics (instructions) in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Yeah, #17, 20, 21 -no luck. Govt & Home Planet- do not seem to work as well (still testing things however) Mismatched data options (not important as far as I know - but I like it all to match in the end) and Speed = Propulsion Regarding the Colony Quality = yeah working on redoing that one at least in description.

Reply to Adding Miniaturization and Logistics (instructions) in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Don't forget about Home Planet Quality and Government options and there seems to be a few number mismatches. I suggest going through and rebuilding it line by line (like I did) making sure the options in the English.str match the ones you want in the AbilityBonuses.xml By the way, I'm not sure if the Interest ability is fully functional.

This is real good stuff Brad! Thanks for taking the time to spell it out for those of us that are bean counters/efficiency nuts.

3d Modeling in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I figured this site would be a good resource for those members of this community that want to get into ship modeling.

I'm a big B5 fan and I was thinking about doing a conversion project. If others are interested in pursuing this project and are serious modders lets get organized. I set up a forum already on modcraft.net for GCII. This is the Link

Reply to This is very bad in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

It looks like a standard Starforce related error to me. You should try to clear your temp folders and see if that helps.

Hmmm... Sure I believe you Frogboy! Can we say "Stardock Entertainment X" (SEX) a Frogboy spin-off company boy and girls?? ROLF - just kidding!!

Cool! I'm sure you will show them the error of their ways!

Reply to Did Take2 (T2) do a secret buyout of Stardock? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I had some bad experiences with them regarding support for titles a couple years ago. Anyway, yeah I know the company is like a "badboy" of the industry in some regards and to some degree I respect that. But when you start to screw over your user base for whatever reasons - business, political or otherwise then I see no need to support such endeavors.

Reply to Did Take2 (T2) do a secret buyout of Stardock? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Wow, I thought Stardock self developed, published and distributed. This is an eye-opener. I hold T2 in the same regard as Starforce when it comes to respect of gamers and taking care of consumers needs.

Did Take2 (T2) do a secret buyout of Stardock? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I ask because Next Gen (an industry trade) is showing CGII as a T2 title.

Reply to Legal question about screenshots in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Gee.... ummm... One would think given Stardock supports "fan sites" and fair use concepts you would have no issues. Now I could be wrong and they could single you out (its personal you know) and take you to court (got a lot of money?) so Brad can retire soon.

Reply to Who sings the intro??? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

The music is VERY reminicient of the music in "Rome - Total War." In that game, it was intended to have a very latin (as in Pre-north-american-western-civ) flavor. Yep those are my feelings exactly (see several of my posts) so much so that I replaced the in game music with RTW's. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Smile.gi

Reply to While driving to work [On Starforce] in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

Steve Fawkner ...(post).... I was a BIG fan of the Warlord series (It was the only cool title for Mac people at a certain point in time) and in fact ended up purchasing several versions of the same title for different systems that I had over a couple years. However for the last version of it simply lost its "pizzazz" for me and I el

You can change the default races and in doing so you will create a defacto custom race.

Reply to Additional Anomaly Modding Info in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

It was my hope that this aspect of the game would be more robust [for modmen]. I hope that once the initial "kill the bugs" focus with the first patch (or two) has been determined effective that features such as this are retooled or recrafted.
