Mod Library

There's an old site called www.galciv2guide.com that a fellow named Drengin runs.... or ran, I should say. It's pretty dead, but if enough people sign up I think it'll get D's attention and he can start fixing things.....

Are people not interested in downloading mods? I thought there would be more interest in this. Hmm :/

What, are you, me, and foxthree the only modders left on the site or something? Seriously... this place is dead!

thanks for this site will use it more often I belive everyones playing x3 right now I just bought the gold ed and love it there may be some sins players.But im still making and releasing mods.

Guess so, otherwise filled with modding questions and not any new mods.

And speaking of things that don't work......

I'd assume that the remaining player base uses their own personal mods. GC2 is still a great game, but doesn't have the following it used to.

Most have moved on to other games as stated. I've been going back and forth between a few other games, none of them GC2. I still check here every so often to see if anyone has released a cool ship pack or other neat mod that I can bash into my own mix, but I doubt anything will renew my interests enough to spark a big revival. The only mod I'd be excited to see would be new and improved B5 ships.

That's all just my perspective though. This site and Imod are it for the game.

Hey, who_do_you_think_IS_always_working at further "updates" to two personal mods in the shadows of absence & lack of forums accessing pace - lately?

The only dead place will & always would be in people's mind.

The biggest problem being that without a library to dump our newest stuff *here*, dedicated modders seek out other places to upload their contributions.

Speaking of which... there are sooooo many hosting sites that anyone serious enough can manage to push a thread up (as in bump as soon as versions are done!) into action continually with regular code_tracking_activities. Click'a'link. Unzip. It's rather easy.

All it takes is the constant interest & dedication.

Far from being abandonware, GC2 is simply "under the radar" until WoM development is over... and, god'help'us'all, GC3 is slated for beta runs by SD. It will happen. It's written in the skies. It's what we're here for. It's what we do that matters, not what we say we will do.

I-Mod had its "access flaws' last spring... i'm just your usual busy guy and if i had it my way, a day would last 48 hours -- 90% of which would be to finish the X-W fleets & ships.

All we want is GunslingerBara to **finally** fix the local library. Sooner than never.

In the meantime, live hard. And, DO it.

I have about 3 different Logos of games that were released a while ago. I just want to post them and see if people like it. I've been getting game logo requests from people but I don't have anywhere to post. I'd love to host a site where the same system applies (people post a preview image, a large image, their mod, description, version etc. and also a place where people can comment). But I'm too busy to handle something like that and check it regularly. But Zyx is right that we must have our own initiative.

I'm working on a Master of Orion mod, and i love a lot of the mods posted here. Also, at mod database there is a great frequently updated star trek vs star wars mod...

So what are people playing that is a space based build game that is not Gal Civ 2? I think this game is great but I have yet to find another that even comes close to it. I do not like real time games an the turn based has always been a favorite. Does anyone out there have a new game suggestion?

What is (x3) that everyone is playing?

Its a great game a space based shooter thats massive in size plus there are lots of mods for the game there is also eve online.Which is also another great space game you can be any type of person you want a hero or the most wanted man in the galaxy.But heres a link to better help you learn about it http://www.egosoft.com/news/current_en.php enjoy.

Thanks but What is the name of this x3? or is it X3?

x3

it's a real shame that the GC2 community has died out over the past year or so. It really quite saddening when your entire fanbase (the GC2 community) completely disintegrates before you get to finish your project. I was considering trying to bring back TBL for another go at completion, but after returning and finding the community in the state that it's in now, i'm not sure if it will happen.

I think mass effect 2 will bring back some of us but with star trek online coming out who has the time to mod.

Nothing lasts forever.

The original GC2 was released 4 years ago, after all. The expansions added some twists, but nothing big enough to get me to buy them. They were too much like dev-level modding, than an actual expansion on the game. Mining asteroids to obtain resources and increase micro-management is not my idea of an expanded game. It is simply a way to add another layer of complexity.

During that time there have been some great mods, and they will never go away. But now, it is all old-hat. It is simply variations on a theme. How far can you go with that?

And face it. The actual modding capacity of the game, from a users point of view, is simply replacing graphics and sounds and some conditions. It's fun, for a while. Then it wears off.

Nothing lasts forever.

sadly I agree but this game got me into modding I learned alot because of it got me to start modding other games.

GC2 will hold a special place, in many hearts.

indeed it will

Let's face it... like all "games", it simply fades away sooner than later.

What really didn't workout for me though (from a SD's standpoint) is the fact that the library Uploading capacity vanished (I *DO* have huge updates made up for both X-Worlds & Cosh... and sadly, i'm the only one using them it seems!); it was just like saying to modders --- We, at StarDock, don't mind GC2 stuff anymore.

Well, okay. We, got it. Obviously, priorities change in life (or the gaming business) & what matters (now, at least) is WoM development.

Although i still play a few games of DA here & there just for kicks... i could return to that stuff when some official GC3 finally goes on any devs' schedule, if ever.

Too bad, modders can't share their newest files right here where they'd get better attention from whomever still interested -- somehow.
