Reply to Editing schema .xsd files? And a couple other noob questions. in GalCiv III Modding GalCiv3 Forums

A schema file (.xsd) describes how a data file (.xml) should look like, and what values are acceptable. They also define what the program (GC3 in this case) will accept as valid input. Therefor you should not edit them -- which would be pointless anyway and possibly harmful. Their primary use for the modder is that you can check what value is appropriate at which xml entry. Creating additional ship (cosmetic) components is done in the ship designer, where you can save a group of selec

@ TheFunMachine If you mean that the ship / shipyard is not properly centered in the shipyard list image, and/or not centered on the galactic map tile, then the problem might be that your origin cube is not in the correct location relative to your design. See my <a href="https://forums.galciv3

[quote who="Horemvore" reply="7" id="3646017"] I remember reading not so long ago there is a switch you have to add to the steam launch to get the game to re load textures and the likes on game start that will allow the use of custom height maps. Increases load times though. I think it was on the steam forum, but, could have been here too. [/quote] I think you are talking about the / atlasgen command line switch.

You do NOT need physical access to the car to hack it.

What is worse is that the documentation for adding both physical keyfob (aka marrying them) and remote access keys (think license keys) are widely publicly available and the procedures are ridiculously easy.

Reply to Autosave - problems and a suggestion to autosave at the end of turn in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

[quote]1. Apparently if a shipyard has finished a ship and it should be launched at that turn, it does not get lauchned if you reload the autosave. Instead, the ship stays in orbit of the shipyard without any notification. I play bigger maps in many sessions over weeks and in the course of the games I sometimes find all kinds of ships in orbits of shipyards that should have been launched.

You can't do anything about it, but wait and hope the unit will leave of its own accord. In a dev stream Scott himself said that he hates it when allied units blocks roads and outposts, and are hanging around your cities blocking you. So they are aware of the problem, but when a fix will be forthcoming i have no idea.
