[quote who="Antilurker77" reply="90" id="3581600"] This is hardly a conspiracy. This type of practice is unfortunately way too common these days. [/quote] I was referring to the utter certainty you have. You aren't even entertaining a possibility in reply #89 where Stardock could give you a reasonable explanation. So I felt the quote fit. ;)
[quote who="Franco fx" reply="12" id="3581588"] I have the Arceans installed with tech tree and ship set and I have not had any errors. Just FYI BTW, that is basically the message I was getting on the Startrek mod after 1.2. [/quote] Was the Startrek mod a fresh install after 1.2? Only thing I can think of is that if the mod was installed before 1.2, then whatever is being checked/created here was already done and is being skipped over. Eith
[quote who="ronnie76" reply="10" id="3581582"]Any guess as to why I don't see the error? [/quote] If you still have the mod installed and in your mod directory? None whatsoever, I'm afraid. :)
"Back... and to the left. Back... and to the left." Oh, don't mind me. That just popped into my head. No idea why. ;p
(Reposted from How to Test for mod errors thread) [quote who="ronnie76" reply="4" id="3581565"] Thanks BuckGodot, but I don't really see anything in the debug file that helps me understand the issue.

[quote who="Deathwynd" reply="24" id="3575756"] Well I just checked the code, if it's not applying to all planets uniformly its something to do with game execution, the code says it will terraform 5 tiles on every planet regardless of quality, if the game does something else then I'm at a loss to explain why, must be something in the executable code. [/quote] Ran into this anomaly and I decided to look at the code: Na
Huh. Odd. Loaded up a saved game and now the interceptors are appearing. Weird. I [u]did[/u] wait for a long time until I tried again since my survey ship was on death's door at the time. Oh well. Disregard my previous comment then. :p
[quote who="ronnie76" reply="2" id="3581560"] Thanks for the response Franco. It is actually an Arcean Empire mod from Steam Workshop that is causing the problem. I just don't know what part is causing the problem, though I think it may be in the custom techs. [/quote] I would try to load the game and then check out the debug.err file in the GalCiv III folder in the My Documents directory. Often times the debug.err file will tell you what the game is choking on. :)
Be interesting to see how this turns out, but, gotta say, I'd be annoyed if this was default behavior. Don't want to feel like I am forced to expand faster than I have to/want to. While I tend to expand faster than the default AI, I still like to pace myself a little bit and do other things besides colonize. An colonization arms race of sorts probably isn't something I'd really enjoy all that much. Still, be interested to see what this does.
[quote quoting="post"] And by better AI, I mean an AI that can beat or at least challenge the human WITHOUT using bonuses. An AI that can manage the economy correctly, can war competently and respond to galactic conditions and galaxy sizes, such as for example teaming together to take down a runaway civilization or expanding faster in the early game on larger galaxies or playing competently in the late game.

[quote who="Antilurker77" reply="70" id="3581384"]. And again, you did not answer my question[/quote] I did. Repeatedly. You just don't like/accept my answer as an answer. :) Either way, if you wish to have the last word, please feel free. :)
[quote who="Antilurker77" reply="67" id="3581375"]Then please, if you believe this DLC to be honest, then enlighten me on why every single user has the DLC partially installed. As far as I'm concerned, the only thing that should be there are the Dreadlord ship parts because of multiplayer. There is no reason to have text files just sitting in the game files.[/quote] Simple. Setting aside, for the moment, the new artwork, the actual DLC, the thing that makes the DLC the DLC,
[quote who="Antilurker77" reply="65" id="3581364"]Yes, it is hard evidence. You can deny it all you want, but that won't change a thing. The mental gymnastics you're going through are getting more and more ridiculous. I must say, seeing your perceptions of Stardock crumble down has been quite amusing.[/quote] Whatever you say, mate. :) Remember, I am [u]not[/u] a die-hard defender of Stardock. Never have been, either. [quote]I have not touched the Opt-In, a
[quote who="Antilurker77" reply="62" id="3581353"]So there you have it, hard evidence that they stripped content from the game to resell it as DLC. [/quote] That's.... That's.... That's not hard evidence. [b]AT ALL[/b]. As I said before, they only created the DLC folder with this patch. Probably because they wanted to have a better system of organization. Lets say for a moment that these files were originally in the base game and then moved.
[quote who="RKade8583" reply="60" id="3581350"]How is this guy upset that too much was put in? He's upset that they "took it out" of the patch. Did they? Don't know or care. My purview is price for content. His thing is the existence of the DLC to begin with. Similar but not the same as what you're saying. [/quote] Given that he said he doesn't mind espionage/commanders coming in DLC (actually, last I heard it was expansion - but that's splitting hairs), I
[quote who="Antilurker77" reply="58" id="3581338"] Ahahaha, I found the strings for all the DLC events are in the base game. I'm going to keep digging around and try to see if the code for the DLC is around here somewhere. [/quote] I'll save you the trouble. It's in a folder called "DLC". ;) Not that says much because prior DLC went straight into the base game directories. Stardock hasn't been exactly very..... consistent on where it is pu
[quote who="Antilurker77" reply="56" id="3581327"] It's so obvious they took these events out to try and nickle and dime customers.[/quote] Obvious to you, maybe, but not to others. Funny how things are obvious to some aren't to others. Perhaps, just perhaps, it isn't quite as obvious as you think. As for the thing about the devstream, they've been [u]very[/u] quiet as to what is going into various DLCs until it is closer to release, beyond vague g
[quote who="John Snider" reply="32" id="3581322"]drones worked for me on 1.2 .. but had a group of ships not just survey .. did not ck to see if all got the drones though. [/quote][quote who="Moogle65535" reply="33" id="3581326"] Just did a quick test and the drones worked fine on gc3 1.2 with just the survey ship, possibly there is something else going on with your particular game, as far as the planet one, it is modeled after Outreach5 so would be created populated by you [/q
[quote who="Antilurker77" reply="54" id="3581298"]We know that isn't true. When Stardock announced they would be adding Mega Events there was no mention of them being DLC.[/quote] No, we [b]DON'T[/b] know this. You might presume this, for whatever reason. But we don't [b]KNOW[/b] it. AFAICR, the first mentioning of mega events was either in the patch notes (which was released a few days before the DLC) or in the vague roadmap that Bard posted over at Steam (check
[quote who="Antilurker77" reply="51" id="3581253"]Nope. They said Mega Events were going to be included in a free patch. You're wrong.[/quote] How does that statement contradict my previous one? Some Mega Events are free. Some are DLC. If Stardock wanted to, they could have made [u][b]ALL[/b][/u] Mega Events DLC. Literally nothing stopped them from doing that. Sure there would have been pissing and moaning. Same as always then. Instead Stardo
Got another one that isn't quite working, I'm afraid. Got the one that is supposed to add three drone interceptors to all ships in a fleet. Doesn't seem to be working however, as the survey ship that got that didn't get the drone fighters afterwards. I suspect it might not unlock for the ship until the tech that normally unlocks it is itself unlocked. Also got a save file (from just before that particular anomaly is triggered) if you'd like to lo
Ah, sounds like the peacekeepers I love and remembered from GC II. :D :D :D There's a reason why they elicited loud and persistent curses whenever they showed up. ;) [quote who="damonlundy" reply="2" id="3581112"] Awesome! Thanks Frogboy. Hopefully the peacekeepers can be balanced out and not be a game changer. Sincerely, Damon [/quote] But they're [u]supposed[/u] to be a game changer. That's the whole point of them. [
