Reply to Looking for a graphics conversion program in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Good call on Xnview. For anyone interested in making their own RAW files for custom planets, Xnview can do everything you need to do to get to the 384x192 256 grayscale 8-bit .RAW format! Thanks again SetarcosNous!

Taking into account my limited knowledge of the subject, the fact that my information is more than twenty years old, and the fact I only minored in psycology while matriculating two Engineering degrees, I concede that what I may know to be true may be old information. But, come on now, you guys jumped on me, and were slightly rude in the process. There is always a better way. This i

Attention All Modders/ Graphics types in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Hello. Anyone out there who has made new Terrain .Raw files for their mods, please comment on the software you used to create and modify the files. I've had rotten luck trying to get several of the programs I have to cooperate with the required 8-bit 256 grayscale, especially the odd size of the required height map (384x192, from memory) Any help would be appreciated.

First, I don't believe human brain cells reproduce once they have differentiated into a brain cell (someone who is a MD, please correct me if I'm wrong). You are not wrong. Human brain tissue is very resilient, but does not grow, nor reproduce, nor does it repair itself. Brain injury is the most serious calamity a human can suffer. (Not an MD, just an old Special Forces Combat Medical NCO.)

Looking for a graphics conversion program in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Hello all. I was looking around on the net for a graphics program to convert normal formats such as jpg/bmp/png to RAW to be used as height maps. I haven't had much luck so far. If anyone could point me to a good program I would appreciate the gesture.

Reply to Show off your ship designs 2007! in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Great job on the Brunai design. I was wondering if you used a RAW file for the texture, and if so, what program you used to generate it, or convert it. I've played around a little with the RAW converters I've found on the net, but they don't seem to like the weird size of the height map you need for CG2. Is that your font, too? That looks very cool.

Reply to An Idea for a great Mod in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Very interesting idea, but it would be very difficult logistically to run an entire empire from a single ship. Even the biggest hugest most ridiculously grossly large horrendously big, oh my god, thats not a moon ship would be a flypoop speck next to a planet.

The problem with pig-human or any other hybridized zygotic creation is that in order to match a human, you need to match not only blood type, but 56 different tissue markers, not to mention cross-match the completely unstudied genetic markers that occur intra-species. Sorry for the soapbox.

Trade is lingo for "Please destroy my freighters at your earliest convenience." Imperial rule, tax the crap out of your populace, and then ease up. You'll make money. Just don't go too far down in popularity, unless you want to put down revolts. Happy Gaming.
