I was hoping there was more by now... Only 2 replied here, so I expected you to have emails galore xD Humans like competition and money/saving money. So logic says this should be doing well... Ah, we'll see I guess. A few people will find here from the GRM page.
Hopefully they've fixed the infinite loading bug as well as *ahem*... having the requirement for additional monetary transfers, but hey I gotta admit I like the effort to add an entire new species in. Well, upgraded to major. I'll be getting it, so even if the game's not fixed for /everyone/ yet I own the DLC to play at a later date.
Love the look of the new race and shipset! The insectoid yet inorganic style is something very new. Even in actual Sci-Fi it's hard to come by, since for example in Doctor Who which you draw inspiration from they don't (too) often do organic looking ships. I've been getting an infinite loading bug or something in my game, even in saves or maps with 0 mods in use, so I'm hoping that gets fixed by the time GRM 1.4 comes out! Miss the game, I need to finish my own races,
I'm trying to make something by toying with xml files, but it's really just trial and error. Hopefully you get a real response that gives us the answer, but I'm trying what I can.
I'm getting the galaxy loading screen thing on any load of an existing game. Different cause, same bug or whatever it is. Makes the game a lot less playable TBH. Also Pirate Shipyard difficulties. I've validated the game files and got it up to date, and I'll check the campaign modes to see if people are getting random difficulties unique to them or if the game is broken. Edit: Just checked. I'm getting the same campaign issues on a clean,
Woot, it's going! Thanks for doing this man. I'm really excited for this, and I'll have my hand in it. Unless there's some rule against this and the thread gets nuked, but hey, it's worth a try. I have all the DLCs and I'm not greedy or selfish, so if I win chances are I'll let 2nd place have the DLC payment (unless I suspect Stardock are making something epic down the line, but even then I'll look at who deserves it more.) <
In before Gauntlet says about the Dreadlords part shipset :D (such a creepy emoticon...) because I was on Nexus seeing if anyone had done one of my ideas already, and noticed GRM had been changed today. Checked it out to see a cool new separate download faction. I don't want to silence him by saying too much, but it's weird; I expected some evil, hulking imperial creature, ended up with Iconians-meet-Halo's-Flood. Really cool ships though, so nice work! Also I noti
Yay more stuff! :D 1) Yes. Yes please. 2) I'd love that, but through my recent thread it seems people without DLCs have the parts stripped away, which sucks, and people might not be willing to see too many gaps in a shipset. Silly system which restricts modding creativity. 3) Definitely! The Fulgar had such a cool style in the way there was this old-timey edge to their otherwise high-tech ships, to have that sort of style gone full retro would be epic. Even if that
It is a little weird for ships given to non-DLC-owners to just be, essentially, templates with gaps in them. Personally I think the best way would be for mods (via direct downloads or as user content from the Workshop) to have all parts visible. From weapons like Franco said, to actual content packs like Petri mentioned. I don't think they shouldn't show up, I think they should be there for everyone. The DLC parts are awesome, with the cockpits added by Founder
[quote who="Ginufe" reply="17" id="3582337"] I have made a ship design to test this method out, I followed all of the steps but the thing didn't pop up in the Ship Style menu. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Didn't even work with Gauntlet's Race Mod. Mods are enabled, but the Ship Styles are not there to choose from. Is this a problem on my end? [/quote] If even GRM isn't showing up then it isn't a game error. I don't thin
Thanks guys. Well, I don't think I'll be using the DLC parts then, seems I have quite a few parts only my personal designs will be using. I wish it wasn't this way but I can't imagine Stardock even has a solution that isn't randomly giving away the DLC parts which would be silly. I'll try not to include them in shipsets because I don't want some players to see gaps when using them in their own games, even if some players have
I'll keep this simple, which is unlike me... Say a shipset contained pieces from the Founder Parts, or the Mega Events Pack (which I just got, though I'll miss using the old mega events without risk of OP robot invasion) then someone without one or more of the DLCs used got the set, or heck, simply saw a ship with the parts online, could they see and use it? I really want to use DLC parts in one of my shipsets, but I don't want people to see holes, or the ships not
The thread started slipping, sorry to not have a real answer but I'm genuinely curious so I want to bump it a little. I don't think it's possible because it's actually part of the game, but maybe there is a file inside one of the databases and many folders in the game directory, so I'll try and look through those for some hint...
Okay... It was a little confused at first but I think your suggestions are: Starbases in the list have a dropdown menu to choose addons Faster constructors / Waypoints (?) Request constructor to open up some sort of menu for different kinds of constructor. Stardock aren't known for taking random suggestions (not any more anyway...) so don't expect these to be taken seriously, but I've read them and I would really li
Thanks for the replies everyone! I'm going to use a system of dead worlds for now, and slowly try more and more changes until I find the point that makes the faction unplayable, and set the line there. It is a mod faction BTW, not a faction file with separate content added as mods. So that sort of throws the 'only possible if you are using xml files' concerns
Hey guys. I posted a while back offering my Mass Effect race mods, incomplete shipsets and other assets as mods for someone to finish, but the thread got taken down so quickly you'd think I was posting someone's bank details. I've instead decided to finish them myself to the best of my ability, in a way that includes shipyards and all that detail yet misses races that say, Sorentoft's brilliant existing mod can add in. Getting to the point, I want the Quarians
Yes to all three questions, but I got it working. Not sure what happened, might have slightly corrupted last time... I just overwrote the startup designs and they SEEM to work. I don't get things sometimes... I look forward to more background info. I really enjoy the stories of races, (I liked when Stardock introduced us to some of the leaders when the game was new) and it helps me associate with factions, especially if I want to play as them. And your new faction would pr
Woot! I looove the new faction and ship set. Didn't think someone could be more hippy-like than the Iconians, but then the crystals came... I actually really like them though, they fit my play style PERFECTLY (I patiently rely on being nice and diplomatic, but do a lot of research in the background in case I'm attacked ;3) Of course it's the only faction set to 'blank', so I edit that in mine and delete the blanks to save menu space. Nothing wrong w
Haven't tried it yet but it looks so legit! Might give me a use for my Quarian ships so the Krynn would stop prentending to be from Mass Effect xD Thanks for the help!
Interface, map and ship colours can all be modded to have new ones. For example, the Xitak interface is a strange deep yellow and red theme. If the mod's done right they will show up when making new races... Not good for multiplayer but free to do/download yourself. If Stardock charged money for what fans could do in a few minutes people would be curious, if not annoyed. (*cough* which is why the editor is included i
I LOVE the mod. I'm hyped for the next update too. I planned to say what my favourite race was, but to be honest I can't decide. Every time I think I've made my mind up I see something different. The new Terrans are pretty cool, they have this rough edge... Their style is so desperate, yet not 'poor', sort of verging on 'brutal' if anything. I think the Zerhan are the most unique though, they're as recognisable as when Iconians we
I would LOVE modding to be easier. Probably isn't going to even be considered but meh. At least we know Stardock do everything they can.
Ah well. The XML method wasn't designed for those who are recreating factions they already have, typing out descriptions will probably only take a few minutes, might find and undo some typos along the way.
Collectors are done for me. Reapers only planned. But at the moment they're only factions, no custom ships/styles, no unique map or UI colours e.t.c.
Don't worry, for once I'm not here for REAL technical issues. My mind works in a weird way... Sorting folders annoyed me, and now that mods work I can sit with XML files for HOURS. But I don't want too many hours... I'm curious if there's a way to take information from actual game-made custom factions and use them in mods. And I don't mean just rip .FACTION files apart, that would be crazily unstable xD I ask because I sort of made all my
