Thank you, I was looking for the console commands!
Thank you. These commands have brought the game back to life for me.
Haven't been able to get the "colonize" command to work. I select the habitable planet, open console, type colonize and always get "no colony selected" response, in Alpha builds 3.0, 3.1, and now Beta 0.4. Anyone get it to work and how?
Will you marry me?
Oh and thank you!
I'm glad to see that they've got console commands in there. It really lets players have fun in new ways or test out new ideas and strategies.
Or just mess about and stomp over everyone they come across. lol
The only command that isn't there is the one to close the debug screen.
Just Press the 'Esc' key
you can also click on the upper right corner and close it
Thanks guys but I already trawled through the podcasts to see how it's done, nice to know that, as always, there is more than 1-way to execute a command.
I tried this as well, and it gave the same error. Maybe because its not an "active item" like an already colonized planet is when you use another command like finishprod? I tried adding the name of the planet, still doesnt work.
How do you enable/open the console to use these commands?
^Larsenex, my quote button isn't working
Press tilde (~)
Hi Lars,
It's this Key ' , the apostrophe key below the @ symbol, which opens the Console and to close it it's easiest to use the "Esc" key although you can otherwise left-click on the top right-hand corner of the Console box border. Took me a while to figure out trawling through the old Podcasts and then getting some help via the forum.
I'd be grateful if you'd look at my latest "My Feedback" thread thanks. Regards Schaef.
Thanks for the list!
How do I set the parameters for the modcredits one. I type modcredits <1000> and nothing happens?
its without the < > symbols
Wait got it, I thought I needed the <
Anyone know where to track down the list of internal names for the techs?
I found them in the HTML files for the techs.
You find the xml files in a sub folder (\steamapps\common\Galactic Civilizations III\data\Game) under your steam installation directory.
Generic: TechDefs.xmlAltarian: AltarianTechDefs.xmlDrengin: DrenginTechDefs.xmlIridium: IridiumTechDefs.xmlKrynn: KrynnTechDefs.xmlTerran: TerranTechDefs.xml
Sometimes the internal name is no really clear. You can search in the TechDefsText.xml in the steamapps\common\Galactic Civilizations III\data\English\Text sub directory for the name as seen in the game. There you then will find the internal name _Name value which you then can use to search for it in the TechDefs.xml file, where in turn you will find the InternalName. Of course the TechDefsText.xml filename is prefixed by the race the same as the TechDefs.xml files.
Example:
Searching in TerranTechDefsText.xml for "Xeno Industrialization" results in "TerranXenoIndustrializationTech_Name" for the <Label> tag.Searching in TerranTechDefs.xml for "TerranXenoIndustrializationTech_Name" results in "XenoIndustrializationTech" for the <InternalName> tag.Here the naming is consistent between the files, but this is not always the case.
Thank you!
