Back in the day GC2 was probably the very first game I ever did any major mod work for (major for my limited skill at least). It was all for my personal game and I didn't come to the website, didn't do community stuff, and as far as code I could only (and still can only) do basic xml edits by following instructions. I was able to accomplish a few things though and made probably about 20 or so extra races and factions from my favorite sci-fi shows and movies. Getting the race pictures

[quote who="Publius of NV" reply="10" id="3549518"] I've read that they are rar compressed files without the header. [/quote] Much appreciated. I was looking through the file structure of the other races and factions and couldn't find other files like that and was wondering if they were custom and I'd have to make them as well or if they were something generated by the game its-self or not. Would be hard to duplicate/mod something I can't even open and don

What's up with the name_numbersandletters.faction files? Tried opening them with notepad and wordpad and can't. Reinstalling Ultra-edit for my edits now. Just wondered what the files are.

This is Exactly the kind of thread that will be in the modding section of the forums. Well done :) on the races. You'll get some of mine soon. If you'd like to submit any for the "Ultimate Sci-Fi Wars" let me know. The more the merrier :D

Indeed Well Done to the Entire Stardock Team!!! You guys deserve it! The Flagship flies again!!!

[quote who="sgoldberg" reply="31" id="3549428"] Well, as modding section would be useful for the modders to ask questions and discuss mod making techniques and such not necessarily for putting mods up as steam workshop would cover that. [/quote] Indeed. It's just a communication and organization issue. That's what the separate forum section is needed for. They've never hosted mods on the forums. We've always used a host like dropbox or a site like the Nexu

[quote who="Island Dog" reply="6" id="3547896"] [/quote] I know you're busy, especially today I imagine, but when you get a chance we could really use that section today. There's already a few posts that will either have to be moved or reposted and having to repost something means you'll loose all the replies to it. I'll be putting up a post here today sometime for a community project and I'll need you to move it there when it's up. I'll

Yeah, everything said here. It's stored in multiple places and also uploaded to the Steam cloud unless you turn that off as well.

[quote who="Frank_Aetheria" reply="42" id="3549323"] Have the custom parts been released yet? I can't see them in my DLC tab (restarted multiple times). Just checking to make sure all is right on my end (don't want to sound impatient). Thanks for the replies! [/quote] Not sure if they'll show up as a "DLC". I want to say they'll be packaged in the release and the removed or blocked from use in code. Since in multiplayer those who have them can use them, an

It's out :)

[quote who="econundrum1" reply="20" id="3549253"] I believe from a dev stream last week the ship designer will be eventually. The race designer, sure that would be nice to have on the main menu to though it makes little difference as you can just go new game design the race then not start a new game. [/quote] True. The custom race creator seems a little limited in choosing color combinations however. Each color scheme has a combination that it doesn't

It would be nice if the ship and custom race designers were available from the main launch screen.

Version number now says 1.0!!!!

Turns out I still have a Lot of assets from some of my GC2 mods, including race pictures and ship reference pictures for making ships in the creator. How would you like to help out on the "Ultimate Sci-Fi War Mod"? Basically every faction and race here is g

[quote who="Void425" reply="3" id="3548924"] That reminds me getting the crap scared out of me in the middle of the night from a demonic laugh coming from the other room. For some reason whenever I left my Diablo 1 CD in the drive after playing it it would autostart in the middle of the night. It never did it during the day....only at night.

Hail and well met fellow space traveler. Now that all the pleasantries are done....all your bases are belong to us!!!! [e digicons]:borg:[/e] [e digicons]}:)[/e]

LoL you never know. :)

[quote who="econundrum1" reply="6" id="3545846"] I'd give such a mod a go if someone made it, but there would be intellectual property issues. I'm actually planning an original races mod. [/quote] As long as the modders aren't making a profit it should be fine. There's plenty of other space games on Steam that have Star Wars and Star Trek mods and there's no issues with copyright. It's a modder making money on copyrighted mat

Gotta give it to em. That is pretty bad azz.

And when I scrolled in to get a closer look it's making this sound. My wife looks over and goes "What is that?" with a somewhat frightened look on her face, and I say "Nothing baby, just a screaming gaping portal to hell, no big deal.". I swear I can hear screams coming from that thing.

[quote who="Illauna" reply="16" id="3548724"] Which means you can play today. Looking at the patch notes only thing that you have to wait until tomorrow for is the campaign. (OMG THE TRAILER IS AWESOME!) [/quote] Indeed :) . I'll definitely wait until after launch to start any modding though. Needs to be at least v1.0. Then I'll dive in. Looking forward to it. I'm also more than happy to help with mods. My strength lies in art assets, skinning and textures. I

Couldn't wait till tomorrow. Bought in today :)

Some good stuff here :)
