UPDATE. I tried a small game and guess what, no problem. Meteors appeared from time to time normally, the date flashed as usual, and no bright white full screen flash. So I went back to my excessive game...and...same thing. Perhaps the game just needed to get restarted. Perhaps something in the background (behind the screen having to do with Windows) was doing it. I dunno. When I see it again I will try to get a video as I said, but righ

Not really because it is just a instant flash. Plus, I don't see meteors at all any more. So it is kind of frustrating. Perhaps I could try to get a video of it with Jing...I will thy that. I might point out I am playing on excessive. Perhaps I should go small and see if it is different.

I play at default and I have lost colony ships to them and it really ticks me off. But in a good way. My idea is yeah it is dangerous, and yeah I don't have time to baby sit every colony ship. So I try to use judgement to reduce bad things. I take a slightly longer route when I know it's safer. And so forth. I take the risk to hurry colonizing. And I am living with it, it sort of feels right. But --- the problem

[quote who="Raynman" reply="3" id="3543558"] Thank you for reporting, we are currently hot patching a fix for the black screen issue. [/quote] You guys are GREAT. Period.

[quote who="Dumhed" reply="30" id="3543151"] It works fine for me. Just in case something happened to the design folder I just recopied all the designs and stuck them in and replaced the old files. [/quote] Hmm wonder what happened when I uploaded 0.95. Anyway I tried the without ships verison and it works fine just dropping it in the mod directory. If I get ambitious I will go back and try the ship version, probably something just glitched when I w

I rather like the idea of a tax on a SB in one's ZOI. And a right of refusal for military and cultural SB, with the consequence...WAR...what's it good for? Getting rid of starbases, of course!

1. I think it would be handy if we had a pinned thread containing custom factions. The contest winners and the honorable mentions might kick it off. The thread's first entry would describe how to post them (include readme with instructions for installlation, for example). I have 25 alien factions in my current game but I need MORE!!!! 2. I can make factions, but one thing I don't know how to do is a problem. &nbs

I am used to seeing shooting stars quite regularly. However, since 0.95 (approx, not completely sure) instead of a shooting star the entire screen just flashes white. It's a little annoying. 1) Might be handy to have a toggle for the shooting stars. 2) Not sure what the flashing is about --- here is a debug file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/w7y4l7d36taglwv/debug.err?dl=0

In the U.P. display shown below (0.95 optin) the display slider on the right doesn't work. Not a huge deal, but you can't see the other factions in a big game. Note I am using the new factions that I managed to get working, plus many of my own. There are about 30 or so major factions in the game. </p

My sympathy, looks like a great mod. But I barely had a chance with it.

Bad news...with the 0,95 patch evidently the kujo again doesn't work (ctd on startup). All the other factions, and my "old" custom factions seem ok though.

I didn't see the "black screen on invasion" bug listed but I will see if there is any change.

Been trying some things with the Faixivi data but haven't gotten it to work. Perhaps someone has had success with this? OH by the way you must be right; the other two factions work fine so far.

So I can use mirrion and judgement with only the faction file itself is what you are saying. I will try that. I have the other working now except faxvi, like you. Thanks for your help.

I saw this also and ticketed it. My post is somewhere in support...you should probably move your thread there. Just edit it and change one line labelled "category" in the title to "support".

After reading your readme I got the Kujo to work. Wow. Reading is Power! Thanks. Perhaps that is how I should approach the others.....you think? EDIT: when I download the other three: faxvi, judgement..., and mirrion..., I get a faction file and the pictures for the submission, not the portraits etc, that go into the factions file. So those I can't handle. Can someone give me a slap upside my head, what am I missing?<

i downloaded the kujo as recommended but it crashes on startup. Let me check the others again. The ones that have four entries, 2 text and 2 files, I don't seem to get to work.

[quote who="Dumhed" reply="15" id="3543088"] I haven't looked at all the submissions but several have a mod folder in them. The directory structure doesn't look consistent in the zips. But, you find that zip that has subfolders (Game, gfx, text, etc) in them. And unzip that and place into your Mods folder. Does that make sense? [/quote] Yes, but others have a different structure and clearly I am not doing those correctly.

Also curious as to the correct install procedure, as I had to make Angry Joe by hand. Doesn't look obvious on inspecting the factions directory of my games/galciv3. I have managed to just drop some of them into the my game/galciv3/mods directory (unzipped). But others don't work.

[quote who="Bamdorf" reply="2" id="3543034"] The invasion bug is that when you invade and get the initial invasion screen, when you hit the "invade" buttom...black screen of death. About 60% of the time. So I recommend a save just before you invade the first few times in case you have it, to make it easier to document. I agree about no freezes (none for about a month at least) no crashes (except the invasion thing) and generally very smooth play. An

I had to do like Larsenex and make Angry Joe by pieces. Oh can I wait to see Angy Joe's review, not of GC3, but of his faction?!!

Now my opponent is Angry Joe! How I will fight him? I don't know. With his cool jacket, Don't think I can hack it. My best ship will fly up, and all he will do... Is smack it.

I am definitely seeing the econ pluses --- however, they don't show up for a turn. I have been checking and I seem to get all my starbase stuff.

The couple of times I have used pragmatic I definitely got the 2/1 boost, but that was on 5.3.
