No, sorry that isn't the cause. Those names determine what ship is previewed when selecting the ship style.  I never designed specific survey ships for those sets and instead used the beam ships.

It is possible something else is wrong with the races. Have you tried making a new game with them present but as AI players or without them entirely?

Hey there.

I've noticed myself getting crashes, upon map generation, but it seems random whether the game will crash or not. The crash rate increases with map sizing. I've tested various races to no avail.

However, it occurred to me, that maybe the problem is a minor race. Removing the minor race file has seemingly ended the crashing... so I suspect there is an error with a particular minor. So you may want to take that file out 0-GRM FactionDefs in the GRM mod file and try that. I'm still testing. Thanks.

The Factions Def was absolutely a problem. One of the minor race's was causing the crash. I have uploaded a new version of GRM that fixes this, V2.1

However, for those who have downloaded, to help you avoid lengthy download times, you can download the single replacement file in the GRM 2.0 Crash Patch. This file needs to go in your Mods/GRM/Game directory and replace the existing file, of 0-GRM FactionDefs.xml

My apologies to anyone who was adversely affected.

Gauntlet this mod is awesome!  I love that each of the factions ships have such a unique style. I'm going to feature this mod on a stream I'm doing on Monday if that is okay with you.

Hey there! Sorry for my silence/absence as of late... Fallout is my one true love, and she has me locked up right now.

@Derek, please by all means if you haven't already! Anything I can do for you is a GO. If you ever need to reach me in a time sensitive matter, email is best via Gauntlet@gmail.com

Thanks!

Uhm... sounds like you didn't do a fresh install of the mod last round. Do you know where the custom race files live? Just delete both Quantum Cyberiat labeled races, then open the install package of the latest version and add that file back in. Should work fine from there.

Do you know what the previous version of GRM you installed? You can download any of the old versions and find the file name. There are not that many custom race files... 14-16... You should be able to remove it using process of elimination.

If you'd like screen-sharing technical assistance, email me with select times that may work for you on November 29th, 30th, or 31st. I'm on EST times and am on vacation at home and can help. I'm happy to utilize Join.Me to resolve your issue.

Otherwise: 

Go to the my documents folder where your custom factions live, something like this: C:\Users\Gauntlet\Documents\My Games\GalCiv3\Factions

Remove all files (NOT FOLDERS), and put them in another folder. Load game and ensure there are no "missing faction" "can't load faction" type messages. Close game, add one of the race files back, reopen game, ensure no messages. Rinse and repeat until all but the offending file remain.

FYI, I'm running version 1.5 of GC3 with GRM and having no issues. Please post if you have any issues.

Sorry, but no, not really. I just take defaults and recolor, and rotate. 

I'm very interested in partnering with someone who can do this well. I'd even pay a retainer in free cocktails if they happen to be in Massachusetts....

I hadn't thought of doing that with the originals so I'll have to keep that in mind as an option when it's possible and yea I'd buy an artist drinks any for making the images I need

As always thanks for the reply, I appreciate it

On a side note, the work Dirtyface83 did is fantastic, thanks for linking it a0152570

This is by the far the best mod for Galactic Civilizations III so far. I have even made a small mod to remove all the stock factions, and the Snathi, from the game and just leave the pirate faction, so that all the factions in my game only come from this mod! 

Would be great if you could start expanding this new universe out a bit, and start replacing the stock events in the game with ones that reflect the factions in this mod. I've started to play around with doing this myself, following the backstories you've created on the wiki. However my creativity is nowhere near as complex and grand as yours and I'm sure you could provide a more richer version!

The link is still good, but here it is for reference:

Gauntlet's Race Mod

The mod is only two downloads, the core file, and then one additional race which requires the Megaevent DLC.

ALSO yes I saw Paul's stream, it was awesome to be featured, and @Pleb87 you are officially my favorite fan for having read the wiki

I plan on doing a new Youtube Video for Fallout 4 settlement building tomorrow and then starting to get back into the GC3 swing of things. Basically, come 2016, GRM will be getting back into production mode.

Thanks for your support guys, its awesome to be appreciated.

Deleted the old files myself before. Either I deleted something big before and forgot, but I swear all the models added up to like a dozen GB or something silly. Anyway, still gone and ready for replacing whenever.

I actually forgot you made a wiki for custom races. I had a long falling out with GC3 because I felt like the devs were getting grabby, and fan content fell under that effect so I didn't see your wiki since there was an unfinished summary of all your races. (Also why I went so long totally silent on these forums)

I might have a Kirani obsession but that's just fine; They're look like Slug Lightyear and their ships resemble hammerhead sharks on steroids and turrets. I can't help but like them.

I should also get back to my own mod works. I can get a few shipsets done in a day, the hard and slow part is modding the race to give them a custom system and tech tree. Might have to redo all that with so many game changes...

Also, Fo4... Unlike my alarmingly slow friends, I quickly found myself unable to locate any more quests in the game, so I've spent like 2 real life days of game time building now. I saw you playing it, and if you're making a video that should give me tons of ideas of what to make next
