The install files are .exe

Is there a way to use them on Mac OS X?




you should extract/install that *.exe in windows (or virtual machine) and copy the files manually.

but i think this version doesn't work with the current ES.



i hope in next version there a version without installer.

This mod is no longer working on either PC or Mac. Sorry, but the original poster has left some time ago and there is no way to get it working again.

In Case anyone is attempting to play with this mod and gives up because the load times are taking super long, and you think its malfunctioning; I have a pretty hard core laptop with a Core I7, 32 GBs ram, and a 3 GB Geforce GTX 670m, and it took nearly 10 minutes for the Galactic size galaxy to load. So dont give up, it will work. smiley: smile

I get a NullReferenceException error whenever I try to start up a game when I use this mod. Picking Galactic scale, and using a custom race, though it still does it with the Hissho regardless. Haven't tried anything else yet.



Edit*

It gives me that error and freezes on any of your settings, with any race. Is it not compatible with the current version of the game?

Version 1.1 released

Fixed NullReferenceException error.



Before installing the new version you have to uninstall the old version first!

To uninstall the old version of the mod use the uninstaller that came packed with the download (PimpMyGalaxy_Uninstaller_v1.0.exe).

Alternatively you can use the Steam client. To do so open Steam and go to your "Library" -> right click "Endless Space" -> click "Properties" -> choose tab "Local Files" -> click "Verify Integrity Of Game Cache".





Known Issues

Under Windows 7 you get a messagebox stating that the mod did not install correctly. You can just ignore that and select that everything went fine.





Sorry, that the first released version didn't work for anybody except me. smiley: embarassement

Cudos to Zaelers who brought it up.



Have Fun

Nothing happens? It says it installed correctly but it is completely useless, no changes are made?

I keep having the same error message when I try to install your mod. I've made a screenshot of it and I'm also using windows 7. The same message occurred when I attempted to install version 1.0

v1.1 worked for me. Make sure you don't have any of the mentioned files modified, by any other mod for example, or it won't (un)install.

This mod is only working with the original vanilla version of Endless Space v1.09!



Make sure all files this mod wants to update are in the vanilla Endless Space v1.09 condition. To do so do the following:

Open Steam and go to your "Library" -> right click "Endless Space" -> click "Properties" -> choose tab "Local Files" -> click "Verify Integrity Of Game Cache". After that try to install PimpMyGalaxy again.

Latest Version: v2.0



PimpMyGalaxy adds 3 additional galaxy sizes (Enormous, Gigantic and Galactic) and two new galaxy shapes (Barred Spiral and Ring) as well as changes the second green faction color to grey for better distinction.



This mod has been developed for Endless Space v1.09.

Use with other versions may cause mayhem! If a new game version is released I will try to update the mod as soon as possible.



This mod supports the languages English, French and German.



Before installing the new version you have to uninstall the old version first!

To uninstall the old version of the mod use the uninstaller that came packed with the download.

Alternatively you can use the Steam client. To do so open Steam and go to your "Library" -> right click "Endless Space" -> click "Properties" -> choose tab "Local Files" -> click "Verify Integrity Of Game Cache".





Download & Installation





To install the mod just download the archive, extract the contents and start the included installer.





Mod Functions

  • 2 additional galaxy shapes (Barred Spiral and Ring)

    These are experimental yet. I would like to get your feedback.



  • 3 additional galaxy sizes





    • Enormous

      104 star systems scattered in a 128-parsec galaxy (generation time! ~ 1-3 min.)
    • Gigantic

      128 star systems scattered in a 141-parsec galaxy (generation time! ~ 2-5 min.)
    • Galactic

      160 star systems scattered in a 158-parsec galaxy (generation time! ~ 5-10 min.)


    Be prepared that first time galaxy generation takes longer with these new bigger galaxies.

    After that however, I found no slowdowns in the gameplay or when loading a savegame.




    The generation times where measured on a computer with a AMD Phenom II X4 945 3 GHz processor. On smaller systems the generation times may be accordingly longer.



  • One of the green faction colors has been changed to grey for better distinction.







Changelog

v1.0 - Initial Release

v1.1 - Fixed NullReferenceException error

v2.0 - 2 additional galaxy shapes and changed green color





Uninstall

To uninstall the mod use the uninstaller that came packed with the download.

Important
