Been playing vdcgm3 mostly, but wanted to try vdcor now, but I havn't found planet construction tech for gas giant/astroids. Is this intentional?

Planet Construction is located in the tech field called "Large Scale Construction" together with Titan. Note that if you start game with VDCGM3 and later load the save with VDCOR, the Planet Construction technology won't be present in the tech tree.

Hi ! Thanks for VDC.
Nice game, but I have a problem - game crash when AI attack Orion star (launch VDCOR.exe).
What reasons?

[Overlord2]

Hi,
It's a bug. I will try to fix it in short while.

Thanks! I'll be looking forward to.

Unfortunately fix of Orion planet bug will take longer than I expected: it will be delayed for a month or two due to technical problems on my side. Meanwhile VDC 53 is uploaded with small fix to the tech tree.

Thanks for the notification.
May be necessary to exclude from the tree of technologies, those that appear after the conquest of Orion.
The game crash when you or AI win guardian of Orion only.

No, it has worked long ago, while the techs were situated where they are now. It must be some other problem. Besides the award-techs have been changed to only one tech - 'xeno relations'.

Discovered a recurrent bug when playing latest VDC (53):

When Antaran Titan or Doomstar attacks any starbase/battlestation/star fortress, it uses a combination of BHG/Stasis field and causes a crash.

Hi,

Could you send the save of this bug please?

Bug occurs for me as example in this game when Antaran titan attacks the "Ramo" system with battle station.

Also great work on the mod! Adds lots of replay value compared to vanilla MOO2.

Recently, we have discovered a possible bug while playing a multiplayer game (VDC53).

The "Uncreative" pick is unplayable, because players only get one of Nuclear Drive, Transport, Colony Ship or Outpost Ship. Generally, this makes it impossible to build ships of any kind.

I remember seeing this issue sometime earlier, too. Could you please look into this?

[Overlord2]

Yes, unpleasant bug. I will look into this as soon as I solve the technical problem, hopefully in the nearst future. The data of old versions is kept on broken hdd, which I need to repair.

to Parabola: could you please use other fileserver, for instance speedyshare? Can't download from this one.

Yes, it worked. Looked at the save and I can say its a VDC bug: starting from certain version it crashes the battle with antaran harbinger. I will try to figure out the reason.
