Reply to Custom Portraits Dark. How to fix? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Okay here it is. I am thinking I did something wrong in photoshop because the Tremo's original looks fine both in game and out. I apologize for not croping them but I only have paint here and can't seem to find a crop tool.

Custom Portraits Dark. How to fix? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I have been making and using custom portraits for several of my games but I have encountered a strange minor issue I would like to know how to fix. The custom portraits look fine for the race portrait but the trade portraits always look dark. I made the trade portraits in photoshop using the race portrait as the base and the look fine outside the game but in-game the trade portraits look dark. Not enough to stop playing but dark enough to be distracting. I was wondering if it had something to do

Thirdly, I'm happy you downloaded this mod, but that must have been a while back, I Highly suggest you uninstall it and apply Gauntlet's Race Mod 3.0 and then add the 4.0 package. OH, I have installed the package with all updates, I just also used it as template to build more minor races starting with number 2000 so as not to interfere with future updates. Then to get which I wanted I had to build a second raceconfig and copy over just the ones

Reply to RELEASE: Kryo's Hull System Mod in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Great! Does it do for all the models? Maybe I haven't played with enough but it seems in my last game when I was playing with thalan ship style I didn't see the thalan hulls as extras. Does the mod skip whatever style your playing as or did I just not see them? I was wondering because I would like to create some ship model templates that are available at the start of each game no matter what race or style I was playing. I assumed I could do that with this mod using the basic cube hulls

Is there a file list of what files the bat file replaces in the main galciv directory? Or am I seeing it wrong and it just expands the files into the mod folder. I just wanted to check to make sure I don't edit any xml such as the GC2types.xml file when a mod copy might already exist. I love the mod don't want cause a conflict when I run them together.

Reply to why no tutorials for adding or changing a minor race? in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Bump Also Adding my questions from Gauntlets forum. I enjoy adding races to spice up the game but does anyone know how to change the shift+Control+D command to pull from your custom minor races and not a random creation? I would prefer to decide which minor races show up which I can only do now by limiting the raceconfig to 8 minor races. Also is there limit on how many can be spawned I tried it a couple times on large maps and only 3 spawned plus the original 8.

I get how to add the Drengin as a minor and how to add the Snathi as a custom major, but I don't get the part about duplicates. Should I remove the Drengin from the major race list in the raceconfig.xml to avoid duplicates? Or simply ignore them during race selection? I know I can solve this easier by simply renaming the minor Drengin race but I wanted to know. Wouldn’t this also mean I could add more major races to the raceconfig.xml and simply choose among them for my 9 in-game races

Thanks. I used open xml to test the file and it found the unclosed bracket right away.

Crashing on new mod use *Edit: raceconfig is issue in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I just finished editing my new mod using a combination of kyros and several mods to race, abilities, and planetary improvements and it crashes after I try to start a new game. here if the debug report how do I read this to tell what went wrong? Edit: Okay Pulling out file by file seems to indicate the my raceconfig is the problem what could I be missing that could cause a crash like this? Is the a blank template I can copy because of course not all the races have things like trade movie
