Treborblue, First I want to comment to you directly on how impressed I am with your tech tree editor. That is, in my opinion, professional grade and it blows me away with how configurable it is and how easy on the eyes it is. Great job on that. What did you program that in and how long did it take you? Second...sure...we can collaborate on this editor if you'd like. I'm not far on it at all because I'm still trying to figure out how to loop through the

[quote who="Publius of NV" reply="4" id="3673504"] You should be aware that there's already an external tech tree editor available. I have no idea why that link isn't working. Here: forums.galciv3.com/477456/page/1 [/quote] Ummmm....WOW?? That is a CRAZY handy and extremely thorough tech tree editor. Mine won't be nearly that nice. Just a windows app with some boxes to change values of shi

[quote who="Go4Celerity" reply="2" id="3673492"] I know nothing of modding tools or what you,re up to. GalCiv3 is certainly not "long in the tooth". It's just about to hit puberty with second expansion. Stardock's stated intention is to support and expand this product for several more years. Expect a seven year cycle, from release providing it maintains sales. Don't expect a IV before 2020. Too much unrealized potential in the 64bit engi

I dug around & really only saw one other post regarding an external game modding utility for GalCiv3. That was nearly 2 years ago and nothing appears to have come from it. I know we can pretty much get into virtually all the xml files, make changes via notepad or notepad++ or your favorite xml editor and mod the game. But what I've always thought was nice was to have a utility, or tool, that would help us do it. So I started writing my own just to help me with my

I'm not all that familiar with Steam hence my issues. And no argument there...even irl I sometimes make something rather simple, difficult. [e digicons]:|[/e] Thanks for the more detailed explanation of what is what. I'll continue to dig around in the ship designer to find what I am looking for. I just think it could have been handled better by the developers (and yes, marketing) to make things easier to find and explained.

Okay...after a bit of clicking around I found most of what I was looking for under the Campaign option. Didn't even think to look there. I was under the impression it would present itself more easily. Your answer, however, doesn't tell me how to find the "Precursor Worlds DLC", "Mega Events DLC" unless those are hidden in one of these scenarios: <img style="vertical-align: baseline;" src="https://snag.gy/tu43E6.jpg" alt="" width="334" height=

I have virtually everything available for GC3. At least for now. :) I just purchased & d/l'd: " Builder's Kit DLC" "Rise of the Terrans DLC" I also have: "Mega Events DLC" <span style="font-size: sm

Well that's rather misleading. Oh well. One last question. Is there a way to rotate the shp on it's X, Y and Z axis? Thanks again!!

I was able to successfully add and install the DLC on Sunday as shown below: My question is this. How do I access this? I was under the impression I could get to this ship designer outside of the game. Thanks, everyone!!
