Could you explain to those of us who may be unfamiliar with it what exactly what the galciv writer software does?
     
| |
|
it is software that modifies/writes new .ini files, it's how many people create the mods in the galciv library

??????? .ini ?????????
That strange: all anomalies are .ANOMALY files, all events are .EVENT files, all social production are .IMP files ....

.ini is what those are i could be mistaken but i beleive they are all .ini's that have differen't extensions to help differentiate them, i could have sworn i seen a post in the mod section explaining how to mod galciv before the writer came about saying very clearly you have to modify the .ini's, and a lot of other modding i've scene done for other games is done through the .ini's i myself have done that  but i'll ask slothrop to get it correct

Can you explain how you might envision 3D designs fitting into Galciv Writer?
| |
|
To replace the gfx graphics and maybe for the creation of ships.
| |
|
Also you can create with this program animations for the game, movies for the scenes of blowing a planet, or trade, colonization and talking with your AI friends or foes.

okay guys read my starting post carefully, i have 3 requests for it thus far and only one email on it, it's sort of hard to send it too you if i don't have a place to send it *sigh*
and i've decided to change the send out to every afternoon (my afternoon) so that gives those who signed up without sending me an email about 4-5 hours to send me one before they go out today
| |
|
then again tester turnout is so low i may end up just sending them out as they come, but not if the number of tester requests increase (if that's possible) 
| |
|
EE, If you come up short on beta testers, I may take it out for a test spin. I may not do a lot with it, but at least I can install it and maybe play around with it a little. I'll send you my email via SH PM.
