I love the mod!  I do seem to run into the occasional crash, but its well worth it.  

I do have a question though.  Any thoughts on if me and some friends could use this in a multiplayer game? Obviously we'd have to disable mods, and drop all the modded files directly into the install directory instead of ~Documents/My Games/GalCiv3/Mods directory.

Any thoughts or suggestions on MP would be greatly appreciated.

Keep up the great work!

I'm playing as the Klingons, and when creating an 'Insane' map, on game startup it crashed to desktop.  After restarting the game, I was able to successfully create a game.  At turn ~101 (last autosave) it went unresponsive while calculating the turn.  Could have just been GC3 though. I'm not playing the ST mod on my good machine, this one only has 16GB of RAM.

I'm actually playing two games at once.  One is MP with my kid, which is running on my actual gaming rig, and then the single player game running ST on an older box.

Thanks for the quick response! I honestly didn't expect to hear anything for a day or two.  I've never been a fan of XML myself, but if you do want assistance and can point out which ones need to be converted from append to replace I could give it a shot.  If nothing else I'm more than happy to test.

I was having a blast with the Klingons, I hadn't really come across any other majors yet, but I was totally enjoying them.

The insane map hangs on turn 105, while processing 'unknown player 7'.  During the turn I did not create a starbase, nor upgrade one.  I tried several attempts reloading turn 105, but was unable to get past it.  On my last attempt the PC completely froze, so its possible its just a problem with my PC.

I think this map I was playing had 10 majors, and common minors.  and the debug.err file, unfortunately only contained 22 lines of the same text...

Debug Message: Command Line: 

Tried starting a new game with a map size of Immense, and it still CTD'd on the initial game creation, but my second attempt was successful, and so far seems to be fine.

Sorry, i decided to re-install GC3 so all my saved games including the debug.err file were purged.

I was playing with 10 random majors, so it probably included some of the default Civs.  I was also using minor races as well. 

I just finished getting everything reinstalled, and am about to spin up a new game.  I'll go ahead and create a canned galaxy for this play through with the editor as you've suggested.

Also, based on your questions should I not be using default Civs, and or default minor races? I currently have all DLC's installed, and everything except the cosmetic stuff from your mod, and no other mods. Although I was contemplating GRM, but I haven't added it yet.

Thanks!

Sorry too be a pain, when next you are able(dont stop playing for it) turn minors off and see if the game crashes with a dynamic start.

Ya use Dropbox or Onedrive? Stick the rar on there and post the link is probably easiest, if ya dont say an I'll give ya email to send it too.

I just hit turn 160ish with no issues (just using the mods included and part of GST). I am saying no issues it locked up, but not an GST issue, vanilla problem which I am about to post about.

If your using Star Trek minors, there are no default minors as I removed them btw

Nothing in the debug.err that could be related to the mod. And from what you just said no issues with dynamic with just the mod factions. I will however check out my Minor factions, could be I have a bugged system in there and since they are random and not always the same it might not happen every time. I am not currently playing with Minors I find on the maps I play with Minors enabled the game places everyone to close together. So I use the map editor to generate a Map and place the Home Systems manualy at even spacing so it is mostly a decent balance, not always as Precursor Worlds have a pretty heavy role on what factions grow quick, but its better than the dynamic generation.

No idea why they decided to place minors and majors with the same code.

Awesome!!!

Downloading the updated version now.  Can't wait to check it out!  

Does this also now include your 'AI Tweaks' mod that you're looking for testers for? Or do I need to install that separately?

Thanks!

Ok.

After doing some testing it looks like GRM may be conflicting with 'Mods\Star Trek - Map Changes\Game\StarSystemDefs.xml.

I renamed the file to .old, and restarted GC3 and was able to start without error.

Awesome.  I was just going through both the GST and GRM versions of StarSystemsDefs.xml and was in the process of merging them to remove duplicates.
