I think, if anything, fans "got mad" at (by which I mean, became disinterested because of) all the things that people (by which I mean, IV) said they were going to do, didn't really have time/money to see through, and never really came out and said that they didn't have time to do it or th...

But nooow...Secondary_Core crashes the whole game every time i run it. It works fine the first time, when you first turn it on, but if you turn the game off and then turn it back on the whole game crashes if you attempt to enter Secondary_Core. I read this just now because I randomly look at the fo...

That's only relavent to Multiwinia, Phelanpt. In Darwinia's case, it saves your key config into preferences.txt and/or user_input_preferences.txt, either in the Darwinia folder (which will be in your steam folder somewhere) if you're on XP, or your saved games directory (user/saved games/darwinia/) ...

I have the impression that at this stage, IV are really out of touch with the community - this is not really a big change. So far as I'm aware, MW is as "abandoned" as any other IV game is. In the "worst case", Darwinia only saw updates past 1.2 (which was pretty much the 'patch ...

Hello I am a reasonable individual that is here to talk about this subject.

But, is there any point in my doing so? You guys seem pretty determined to slag one another off, so maybe I shouldn't bother.

You must be thinking of a game that isn't Xwinia.

vistaprint on the web. I think they had a half price offer on, though it appears they often have offers on...worked out about 5GBP a shirt including postage. The print came out better than I expected but the shirt material seems a bit thin to me. This is veeery interesting information. If they offe...

Cause some people have wanted to do shape editing with the Darwinia shapes for years and the fact that no one has ever been able to make a reliable importer for a freeware application has pretty much prevented exactly that. Also some Darwinia shapes do have multiple colours (shading mostly) which it...

63x63 is the largest unsupported size that a grid guide map can be in the game - if you're "having issues", just put a single line of black pixels across a couple of the sides to make it 64 pixels. Additionally, don't use JPG unless you're going to not use any of the compression; your tiny...

Well, this is a Taiidan heavy cruiser , a Vaygr Battlecruiser (complete with teeny antenna), and the Prison ship from the first game . They were all assembled with glue and things I don't have easy access to, and my models were built with scotch tape to keep everything together given my glue had du...

Out of curiosity, how much did it cost to get a shirt printed on a small order basis, did you get it done locally of via the intertubes? Cause as I recall there were several interesting designs that IV chose not to not actually ever put into production that some of us were quite fond of.

Sure; 1) Extract SHPs from main.dat file (it's just a rar archive) and identify which shape file it is you wish to use. 2) Copy that shp file to a folder with TGF's shaper app in, and run it, select the SHP file and hit the Do Something! button, which with a SHP selected, generates an OFF file from ...

Me too, but sadly my program crashes if I try to convert that one! (edit: ok, got it to work!; The whole paper craft and a close up . I have no idea how it's supposed to go together and frankly, I don't want to know...) To be fair, I'm being silly for the sake of being silly, I'm sure most of the sh...

Apparently, I made something that converted darwinia shp files into .off files, which blender could import. Apparently you can still get it from here (it's a shitty visual basic app with sourcecode included apparently) - if shapes are scaled or rotated then you might have to reproduce that yourself,...

Uhm, nothing gets disabled. The only time anything got disabled was if you didn't update a 1.0 input_preferences.txt when it got updated in 1.1, which I bang on about in the initial post of this topic. If you use the (generally cleaner) keyboard locales to bind anything to a key that was already bou...
