[quote who="General Pants" reply="100" id="3664936"] You might consider what Gauntlet did, and provide an avenue for players to slip you some money on the side.

Updated exe on nexus. 0.1.6.7. I have just uploaded the main exe. You will need version 0.1.6.6 first. Unzip and copy to the Tech Tree Viewer folder, overwrite the main exe. Fixed CTD with missing Text. Fixed Edit descriptions Undo not updating main window. Added reverse parameters - (some text editors need Args after file name) Added More error trapping. @Ant1Her0 Let me know how you get

[quote who="Horemvore" reply="94" id="3664788"] My Borg Tech Tree crashes the Editor [e digicons]:([/e] [/quote] Its a missing text bug. e.g. Xeno Mysticisym is looking for BorgAlcove_Name I re-coded the stat parsing to speed it up and forgot to return the stat_Name if it can't find the string. It's fixed now. I'll upload a fixed exe soon.

@Ant1Her0 Just checked the logs you sent me. It looks like you have some custom files in your Mods\ExampleMod\Game\ folder. Turn of mods and see if it happens again. (click View - Default Tech Trees Only). This will only load core files. If it crashes with custom trees. were they created with this tool. If not they may be missing some files. The editor assumes certain files will be available.

[quote who="pendrokar" reply="88" id="3664754"] @treborblue, please add Sublime Text alongside Notepad++ for opening tech with editor, all you need to do is add: :: [/quote] Just checked with Sublime, it appears the ': ' must be after the filename not before, as with Notepad++. I will add an option to reverse the parameters.

[quote who="Ant1Her0" reply="90" id="3664766"] I'll post any log you say. How can I take it? [/quote] In the folder where the tech tree editor is there should be a log folder. Paste the logs from the last entry of Startup to the end.

[quote who="Ant1Her0" reply="87" id="3664720"] When I click on Specialisation tech editor crashes. Same with tech icons. No error code appears. [/quote] The system language shouldn't matter. Does this happen with default trees or when you are viewing a custom tree. Does the crash happen when you hover over a tech or when you click it. Can you post the logs.

[quote who="Ascaloth" reply="1" id="3664578"] The Escort-Capital fleet composition is just the most basic of examples. For my part, I've designed entire lines of custom warships over all four types of Ship Roles for the Terrans, which is why a single fleet of my custom ships - properly assembled - can knock down multiple enemy fleets before dying, if ever (It also means I can't play any other faction than Terrans because I can't bear to go back to the default designs, unless

Yes please!

Tech Tree Editor, new version uploaded. https://forums.galciv3.com/477456/page/4/#3664342 Horemvore, If there is anything that you would like adding or changing let me know.

New version available 0.1.6.5 Main additions: drag and drop support for moving techs around - see extended tutorial video in OP. Stat editor update. Can add or remove stats. Drop down menus. See OP for full details.

I have one small bug to fix. Mouse over stat looking at wrong name. Too late tonight. I will upload tomorrow.

Horemvore, I have a new version of my Tech Tree Editor that may help you. It won't help with creating custom ship components or improvements (yet), but it may help with custom Tech trees. Apart from all the usual stuff, you can Drag and drop Techs to change prerequisites and change tech ages. Also the Stat Editor has had some TLC, you can now add, delete stats from drop down menus that are tied into the Schema files.

Thanks. Will check it out.

You can use the tech cost mod tool to create a mod where all the techs cost 0 https://forums.galciv3.com/477559/ Takes a few seconds.

Does anyone know or is there a list of what stats work with what. The schema's are not much help. e.g. Modifier EffectType can have any value from the StatTypes Enums list. There are 254 different StatTypes many of which don't apply to the tech tree directly. Any advice?

Yep you are correct. I just never took that much notice before. Ignore me.

When creating a custom tech tree and changing the description of a tech it effects the core race tree also. They have the new name in their tree. excerpt from custom TechDefs.xml BarocianInstitutionalResearch InstitutionalResearch BarocianInstitutionalResearch_Name

No problems. I was just seeing if there was one already done that I missed. My Tech Tree Editor is going Beta shortly, so I will have time on my hands to code other tools if the demand warrants it.

ok thanks.

What tools are required most by modders? GCIII Tech Tree Editor is nearing the end of Alpha, so should go in Beta soon. Which means I will be free (less busy) to look at the possibility of developing other tools, unless Stardock release some tools first.

Did the ship set creation tool get completed?
