Been busy with the holidays and other things, so apologies for not updating the mod. Yes, there will need to be an update, but last I checked 99.95% of the changes were in research costs (which necessitated me redoing EVERYTHING from scratch) with the introduction of Capstone techs and a minor change to diplomacy being the only others. Should be up by the end of the year/start of the year. Would have been up sooner, but I messed up big time in the middle

For people who care, and I know it'll at least be a few, the old map size settings will still load and work in 1.9 opt-in. Just have to make a mod with the old values (MapSizeDefs.xml). How stable it is, I haven't tested yet. ;)

[quote who="treborblue" reply="29" id="3660007"]The Brainy'AK tree is completely screwed in the viewer, previously it worked ok.

[quote who="DivineWrath" reply="31" id="3658244"] Quoting Publius of NV, reply 29 There's a mod available that allows you to research all specializations. I'll go look for it then. Thanks! [/quote] In case you didn't see it (and not to toot my own horn):

[quote who="Seilore" reply="1" id="3655536"] Love this idea, it's different than anything we've seen yet. Great suggestion. [/quote] Thanks, I'd especially appreciate events that changed the synthetic pop cap a small amount in either direction. Mostly to simulate the choices that give organics more/less food. I'm sure the devs at Stardock can think up all sorts of other things besides that. :)

As an Elite Founder, I've loved all the DLC that have come down the pike. Nearly all of them have added something interesting to the game. However, there is one glaring oversight to many of them: Namely many of the benefits and penalties don't apply to synthetic races. Now I know it can be a pain to make things JUST for those little machines out there, which is why I am suggesting a DLC devoted ENTIRELY to synthetic races . Say:

Embassies WILL give a +1 adjacency bonus to influence, however. I mean, that's not as good as building an consulate which boosts influence and gives adjacency as well. But an embassy is already powerful since it gives a diplo boost. Giving an influence adjacency bonus is just the icing on the cake (and lets it set up as being the center of a embassy ring and whatnot, if one wants to go in that direction).

[quote who="Horemvore" reply="564" id="3647821"] Quoting Gauntlet03, reply 562 Well aside from GRM, I'd say the diplomacy enhancements by Homervore [SP] is the best mod on the block Whoa, thanx for that! Whats [SP] ? [e digicons]:)[/e] [/quote] [sp] = spelling uncertain/wron

This mod is fully compatible with the newly released 1.8.2, as there have been no changes to any tech tree baring a bug fix mentioned in the next sentence. The base game did apply a bug fix to the Thalan Tech Tree, but I had already applied that fix to this mod when I released it for 1.8.1. ;) Also, the base game finally fixed the long standing problem where the Generic Tech Tree was being called the Terran Tech Tree. I applied that in this mod a long time back though, so no nee

[quote who="Horemvore" reply="54" id="3647141"] Movies should not CTD. I have allowed for that in the code. I have however caped the Diplo at 15...by pure stupidness, forgot to add a true to the last entry. Try this .[/quote] That's the change I already made. :) So, yeah, looks to be working. As I said earlier, great mod

If it is because the game is looking for an appropiate bk2 file, and I am almost it is as that's the only thing that makes sense, really curious WHY it's happening, since that no bk2 files are directly called in any of your xmls in the mod. A chain thing going on though maybe? An xml is calling on another xml? Curious. Not sure how much help I'm being here, but the happy/neutral/angry pic really is the only thing that makes sense to me when it co

Started a brand new game with the file you linked and sorry to say, still getting the "Missing Mood Display Def" problem and related crashes: [img]http://i.imgur.com/oRmFHDn.png[/img] Almost certain it has something to do with 'unbounded' diplomacy and animated leaders, as I am able to talk to folks with an 'infinite' bonus to diplomacy if they have a static pic, but if they have an animated one, it's CTD. Even get a CTD on the initial meeting.<

[quote who="Horemvore" reply="48" id="3647068"] This should fix it. Extract to ...Informative Diplomacy/Game [/quote] Thanks! :) Too late at night for me to test it with a brand new game (since I know it won't take affect with my current game), so I'll cheat something up tomorrow and see what happens. Thanks again for the quick turnaround,

Getting hard crashes with the Cosmetic version and the diplo screen. :( Looks to be a pretty damn obscure bug triggering around the +17 mark or so as I haven't had much trouble before this. There is a possibly releated bug at the +17 mark which I'll show below: [img]http://i.imgur.com/H5sbr9V.png[/img] There is a missing mood display def that MIGHT have something to do with my troubles. If I try to open the Diplo screen for either the Ico

From what I recall, back in GalCiv 2, when a faction died, their B/P/M (or Good, Neutral, Evil as it was called) would decide what would happen to the ships. Good would have most of the ships go to like minded/alied factions. Neutral would see some go to allies/like minded factions while others go pirate. And Evil would ALL go pirate, regardless. Personally I'd like to see that mechanic come back in some form rather than all ships go pirate when

Yeeeeesss. Time for me to fire up GC2 and check the ultra weird designs I made so I can transfer them over. Presuming I can figure out how I made them. ;)

[quote who="mormegil" reply="5" id="3645198"] The Terran ship you "capture" is not a real ship until you go get it. It behaves like an Anomaly, you have to move onto it with your survey ship to pick it up. I have confirmed that it is working internal. If this is what you are doing and it is still not working, please submit a ticket, and a save, so we can track down the issue. [/quote] When I send the survey ship ov
