Do you have .NET 2.0 installed? If not, you can get it from microsoft. If not, any other information you can give would be very helpful, since I have not personally experienced this problem.

Hi everyone. Sorry that there hasn't been an update for so long. I've been pretty bogged down with school and a few other projects I'm working on. Progress is still plodding along on mod support, plus a few other changes I'm throwing into the mix. I can't say with any degree of certainty when the next update will be. I have thanksgiving week off, so I may be able to get it done then. After that, I plan on adding scenario and campaign editors into the mix.

By the way, between the galactic core and sourceforge, the project has now passed 1000 downloads. It is great to see that there is still such a strong mod community. If you guys have any suggestions, problems, or plain old comments, feel free to send them my way.



PS.
Dimzy. If you are still having problems, send me an email at ricree101@users.sourceforge.net, and I'll try to help you get it running. There's almost no chance that I'll have time to help you this week, but I should be able to help you out early next week or this weekend.

Could not create new map




ok on my puter drive C: is windows ME
and drive D: is windows xp also that is what drive galciv 2 is installed on
yes it is a register copy i have DA too.

Had a problem loading maps made with this program. GCII kept crashing when starting a game with the map. Found out that the planets all said they belonged to the wrong stars or only a few stars having all the planets associated to them. I had to open the map in wordpad and and tell them which star they belonged too. Is there any way to do this when I first make the map? So i don't have to go through and change the woring on 78+ planets.

Oh and I'm having problems editing maps I made, the program wont let me edit a planet that's already placed on the map. I found a work around that takes too long. I have to start a new map. Place a new planet and then try to edit it right afterwards and then I might be able to or not. I have to do it like three times for it to work and then I can edit a map I already had.

I'd really like to be able to place a star and have the program ask how many planets to place around the star. I keep putting planets either too far or too close to the star. Is there a distance the planets shold be away frot he star?

I have the exact same problem.

ONE thing I will love to see in this editor is a PLANET bonus control; to be able to put, let's say all homeworld with a number of specific % of bonus (research, manufacturing etc )

Unfortunately that's just not possible--the custom map format used by the game has no way to define that.

When i try to open it, it says my version of .net framework is out of date. I have 2.0, but it says i need 2.something?
How do i solve this

same.

I got it to work but how the hell do i move th camera and zoom? i use my mouse wheel and nothing happens i click and try drag again nothing happens, how the heck do you move on this thing?

Hold the right mouse button down to drag the map. Center button to rotate and wheel to zoom.

how do i start it up?

Csn't run it but can install it too much hassl it sais i need a version 2. something or other of something when i went to open or run the program editor stupid game y is it sooo annoying ??
