@Mechworks, you can in fact do that if you are willing to mod, I know, its a pain, but it can be worth it. [Guide] Creating Ship Style Sets for Custom Factions » Forum Post by Dumhed
Once the Steam Workshop is up and available, I and many others will be sharing designs there. In the meantime, here is my latest, plus I've made some tutorials.

[quote who="Freeman43" reply="6" id="3555054"] Good to see this back I was honestly slowly converting your mod for Dark Avatar into GalCiv 3... Anyways I know this is going to be a lot of work since you put a lot of quality in your last mod for GalCiv2. I know your working on 9 races right now, but are you going to be making 25 races as you did for Dark Avatar? I was really a fan of your Galactic Confederacy and its shipstyles. So I was wondering if any of the old races from your mod pac
Hey guys! Thanks for watching, and now hopefully listening! :) [quote who="MortisBlack" reply="1" id="3554982"] if i recall you also did some good stuff for GalCiv 2 [/quote] Quite right! I made a mod that simply added tons of race portraits and again, ship designs. Never did update it for Arnor though. I've even decided to keep the same mod name lol.

Guys! Fantastic stuff! Love the BSG stuff especially, nice use of color! For myself, I've published my very first Voiced Video. This video goes over my previously shown ship set called FTH, but now fleshed out with another 5-10 designs, as well as a brief look at the custom race that will go with it! Constructive feedback always appreciated, especially since this is my first real recording. If you like, please subscribe! These and many more will be a
1) If that is the case, then should I not see those variants in my design list when I start a game with this ship set and use the "unlock" command? For example, I kept the L, P, D letters in the internal names and only the D sets are showing? 2) Got it. Thanks 3) Good to know. Thanks Thank you again!
Oh lords of Kobal hear my questions... 1) What are the L and P designs in the shipdef file? They are AI only... but what are they? Example: "FrigateLBlueprint" 2) Anyone know in what order the ship designer organizes ships? Is it in the order of Ship Def? Kinda seems like, but then not to me... 3) If I were to copy the entry for Assault Carrier (huge) but change the hull size to Medium, what would happen? I noticed there were no medium sized carriers? 4) Anyone
1) While some will disagree, I would say yes. Steam will eventually have the Steam Workshop enabled which will allow for a centralized location to manage and obtain mods. Many gamers also use Steam as their primary communication and sharing center. 2) If your game uses Steam there is a tool within whereby Steam analyzes your game files and repairs/replaces any that differ from the current version. If you buy the game through some other method, one presume you could always uninstall/re
Quite helpful so far, but I am running into a snag and I'm hoping you can help. When I go to launch the game I get this message: "C:\Users\Gauntlet\Documents\My Games\GalCiv3\Mods\Gauntlet Mod\Game\FactionShipStyleSetDefs_TS.xml(13,39): error: value 'Sovereignty' not in enumeration" This is clearly referring to the custom FactionShipStyle, and the opening passage: TerranSovereigntyS
Love all the ships everyone! Also the turret! Now that I'm done my first 9 ship sets, its time to flesh them out a bit. Started adding to the my pirates... a alternative destroyer and a huge-hull stationary battle station. [video]https://youtu.be/LOHdAdwy6rY[/video]
Foreground and backgrounds are 1920X1080 PNG Portraits and Flags are 128X128 PNG You can do any resolution or size, its just the aspect ratio that matters, so for the portraits I often do 500X500.
I think you should be able to mix with pragmatic, but never benevolent and malevolent. At any rate, I always go Pragmatic for the constructor bonuses, and go deep enough in malevolent for the homeworld production boost. And of course I get both preparedness centers and intimidation centers to develop these chains long term.
1) All ships are displayed at their maximum length at all times. You can make very big ships by making them both wider or taller, but the longer the ship, the smaller your scaling will look. 2) I use the following nomenclature for my templates: Ship Set Code - Size - Number - Variant Letter TS-Large 01A 3) For equipped ships... well I'm still working on a code, I think ship capacity, weapon classes, and tech level will likely a
Hey thanks! I'm afraid your carrier idea is likely impossible, there are no pausing commands for animations, and generally they all act simultaneously on the part. You could get one to run off and up a straight runway, but it would then reverse backwards back into place... The closest I ever did with this sort of idea was housing fighters in a carrier, and having doors to reveal them, its in this set, I think around minute 2: [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=
Hey there! Another day another ship set! I think this is the last basic set for a while, and now its time to go back, play through some games and flesh out all of these with variants and such! This one was fun with using the big weird resource orb as a power source for the main cannons! [video]https://youtu.be/IO72VnM2DXI[/video]
Hey guys! Thanks for the attention, and no worries, it was legit to suggest a support ticket of course! I did file a ticket, I was immediately told to follow the re-install and verify steps. I did this, and it worked, but once I reloaded my custom races and ship designs into documents, I had the same problem again. I did some file swapping, and eventually figured out that one of my ship design files was causing the crashing. I've yet to narro
I can't start a new game now... game crashes upon "building map" I've played with all map settings and victory conditions to no avail. I'm using all standard races for myself and opponents to no avail. I can load a old game though... Version 0.97 HELP?
PS: there is a very small black tube piece in the Terran set, that I recommend, at 10 scale, it is invisible under nearly all circumstances.
While you can't exceed a hull's maximum size, you can manipulate hull sizes to be smaller than maximum. You can do this by offsetting a very tiny part off of your design in the Z axis. I do this to make tiny and small ships look tiny enough to be carried by my bigger ships.
Fantastic! I love that it looks so functional. Though I was totally hoping the larger cylinder of the hull would be rotating too!
The lighting bug in ship editor... I literally can't close the game or save and load and expect to make new designs.
NICE! I love it. The side disks are nice and have a good texture there. As for scaling. GalCiv3 uses a sort of dynamic scale, and on the galaxy map, a ship's size is always the same as its class. Length wise. So to get around that, you can place very small tube parts (they are in terran, black, very plain) and project them out from the front and back of the ship. They are effectively invisible in game, but will extend the scale so you can cont
Hey guys! Finished another Ship Set! This one is for my own pirate themed race! You'll notice these guys have a few of the other race's fighters amongst their number... helps make these guys a little more diverse and represents stolen ships and mercenary crews.
