Thanks for the update Gauntlet. Hopefully they will get it resolved quickly.

"Also I noticed that some trees got under to not being noticed not just the Snathi Dlc."

What does this mean? I am likely biased to certain tech trees, so some do get used more than others in the race list.

I assign tech trees on what I feel best represents the race in question. It is very easy for you to edit them to the distribution of tech trees you may prefer.

I do hope to someday make custom techtrees for the "big 6", Zrenrakka, Terrans, Fulgar, Ukaros, Tothk, and Aquilarans.

Best thing since sliced bread.

Thanks for all the hard work, we sure appreciate it

No idea. I'd kinda be surprised if it didn't work though, depends on whether the new line of code for constructors is a brand new definition or some such.

I am thankful it worked out, sort of. Hopefully they will notice what's going on and do something, as it shouldn't be a problem in the first place.

I wanted to say that I did encounter one bug, namely when using the optional file to keep the original minor races. For whatever reason an error log appears saying the script lines are already somewhere else. This happens both if I combine both the files containing minor races for GRM (the optional and default) and have them separate. It's pretty odd.

Another thing (not a bug?) was that the game complained on two of my races using GRM shipsets not using shipsets that existed. Nowadays whenever there is a GRM update in the works I make copies of my races with default shipsets to avoid this issue (all 200). But the odd thing about this was that these two did in no way stand out from any others. They used shipsets used by many others, and they both had two different ones (terran sovereignity and quantum cyberiat respectively). All my other races are fine. They are fixed now, but still, that was pretty weird.

Thanks for all the hard work! I am looking forward to the future of the biggest and baddest of Galciv 3 mods!

PS and updated version of GSM is now up too.

Gauntlet, I installed both GSM and GRM this morning.

All works with one exception. All the races except yours have had special abilities removed. Not much of a problem BUT, the majors such as Snathi, Drengin, Terran..all of Stardocks majors have had their abilities remove and I am unable to add them back ( I can with all other non stardock races).

Sorry I am in a rush for work....

Did you change the core abilities?

Issue:  Pirate Survey Ships are stealing my anomalies! 

Background:  I enjoy roaming around looking for and exploring anomalies.  It's something fun to do in the early stages of the game while planets are being built up.

Question:  I am very comfortable modifying code.  Where in your codebase would I need to go to delete pirate survey ships from existence?

Great stuff here. After messing around with the game for about four hours I've got some impressions/notes. Firstly, yeah the pirates and minors do colonize and built starbases if they manage to grab an anomaly with constructors or colony ships. Cool. I had great fun chasing down pirate survey ships. I did have an issue where clicking on a pirate starbase caused a crash to desktop. I double checked to be sure. Also the mod doesn't appear to be rendering missile or beam fire at all. Combat stats are unaffected, just the effect is gone. For reference I'm running a Surface Book w/ the i7 processor 8 gigs of RAM and the NVIDA chipset.

Hey there!

1) Known issue, AI designs using custom ship designs do not animate fire effects other than a single kinetic blast. So yes, if you use the default designs (which, no offense, is pretty sub-optimal play) you will not see good effects. That is a Stardock issue that I can't change.

2) To remove Pirate Survey ships, open factiondefs.xml in GRM-PRT and remove the line for a starting survey ship.

3) Sorry BlackTigerActual, but the issue is either unrelated, or otherwise a issue with not installing the mod/something properly I've tested that aspect of the mod on five computers without fail. 

4) Want to use a original core race? Copy it and apply abilities as you see fit! Did I mention GRM doesn't much care for core races? (sorry!)

5) Don't want any of the super cool superior GRM abilities? Simply remove the mod folder called GRM-A and then use the faction files from the optional folder instead of the provided ones. 

No. I'm not saying you delete the core races. Copy them, add abilities as you see fit, then don't load in the core races. Or, as explained in the install video, you don't have to use the advanced ability mod at all, and I provided copies of my factions that use core abilities.

OR if you really MUST have GRM-A abilities and the original core abilities, you can just rename the abilitiesdefs.xml file in GRM-A mod folder. I suspect this might cause visual interface issues for selecting abilities. Do so at your own risk.

Its also, not my responsibility in ANY way to realize how you do or do not play the game. I provide content, choose to use it, or not. No one put a gun to your head. If you weren't using GRM-A before, its incredibly easy to decide not to use it if you so choose and I was nice enough to provide you copies of my factions that don't utilize it.
