you are simply beloved this is beautiful

Thanks.

You don't have to do that but it's a good idea. And you may want to exclude some things so you don't lose your teleport bookmarks and don't have to do the vanilla story missions over again...

@Pop-Top Atlas so you mean to delete everything in universe folder and it will work?

I think so, yeah.

But you should get into the healthy habit of purging your universe folder regardless.

Just delete everything in there except for your universe.dat (which keeps your teleporter bookmarks and outpost/progression markers) and the world files of any planets where you've built stuff that you want to still use (they'll have noticeably larger file sizes, among other indicators)

Again, if you need more guidance, talk to me in the linked Discord.

Thanks for answer. One more question, is this safe to add to existing save?

I just did a balance pass to reduce the health of most bosses by 50% among other QoL changes, so I would definitely say this version should suit your needs now but if you get stuck again and need more help, by all means join the Discord and I'll share all the things I learned that you can do to make your experience smoother.

Hello is this version have hard difficulty too? I ask cuz I played other version of gic which was too hard.

I see. Thanks for the reply.

A nicer, simpler way to put it would be: They simply want to tell a different story now.
But if you've played GiC in the past, and you don't want that past experience pissed on and thrown into the trash-

-you should play this version. And maybe go check out whatever new stuff they've pumped out on the side, eventually.

They will say this old content that they tried to destroy was stolen.

I have secured necessary documentation in a legal manner to continue my work as an author on the project and continued insinuations of legal action from their side will ultimately work against them in a court of law if escalation continues.

Developer Drama.
Neither side has anything nice to say about the other.
You can learn more details inside respective factions' Discords.

This version, 2.8+ is now a separate and independently maintained branch that is now developing its own content.

It contains a lot of old content that previous GiC users remember and enjoy which was needlessly removed from the 3.2.5 version for bullshit reasons like "the writing is bad" and "it has consistency issues" which are thin veils thrown over the facts to placate new users who don't know better.

After having completed a balance pass and spot-check, I can tell you with certainty that it doesn't have these problems.

The truth that they don't want to say is that they have no idea how any of the content worked in terms of world-building and narrative elements because they removed their writer (me) and now want an excuse to start "fresh" with whatever hostage player-base they have or that enjoys their version.

I would like to ask why there is a 3.2.5 and a 2.8 version? Which one should I play?

It looks like you tried to join the Discord.
You just didn't press the button to pass the bot check.

You can't play both versions of GiC at the same time.

This version contains and is built off content that the other guy tried to remove after he betrayed all the developers he could when he sucked the project up his ass to monetize it.

Naturally we don't have anything nice to say about each other.
I've started working on this branch again though, so it's not dead.

can I use both versions at the same time also it doesnt let me join the discord

The safest thing to do in your situation is to keep playing as long as you can without touching anything and when you're done/ready to stop/ready to start fresh-

-do a clean save, yeah. Wipe characters and universe.

Then you'll find this mod has a lot of the content you've enjoyed in the past whereas the other version has most of that content removed and is apparently trying to cook up new and different content.

If you were to replace things and to try to keep going with what you have after having not-played in a while, you'll want to use this version instead of the new one which will probably brick your stuff or give you problems since it tried to remove content that you're probably still using.

Hello, don’t to disturb you guys and don’t want to cause trouble here, I was curious as I subscribe submods for GIC mod until I found this. I checked the description and comments of this mod to know on why this is exists which I did found it unexpected about this drama.

But I’m asking is what’s the difference between this GIC mod (v2.8+, supposedly a reupload) and the “original” mod of GIC?

Is it okay to replace the “original” mod of GIC with your GIC mod during mid-save game or must be a new save game for a safety precaution?

I hope you guys feeling well, thank you. :)

Please increase the stack sizes. I heavily discourages keeping a backup weapon, limits crafting, and is just plain annoying.

I'm bad at english sorry
go to the Warton world and just can't beam down
log said
"Error generating dungeon named 'gic_urbanbattle'"
"No such vehicle named 'gic_dshk_gunturret2_prefab'"
but teleport tool call the dungen "warton_flakturm"
no idea why
only use reskin and SIP addon

Too many items to just give you a list. Or to make one.
You should see comments/do research on SIP patching.
Or just get a mod that shows you an item's ID.

Is there anything for admin item ID's?

base on GIC v2.8 and EWS2,not for GIC v3.2.5

I remember there were stuff like headphone to put on a helmet and a cheap disposable pistol and a holster you can make for consecutive shots. There are some niche things that i really do miss from 2.8. The theme change still shocked me a little, I would have subscribe to the Touhou stuff anyway if it was an expansion. Don't really see the necessity. Anyways, Good Luck with the development.

I see you've joined the Discord and already had this concern addressed.

说实在的，我可以同时订阅两个GIC一起玩么，会冲突么，比如世界生成类的

To be honest, can I subscribe to two GICs at the same time? Will there be any BUG?
For example, world generation

I joined, thank you

Information is in the Discord linked in the description.

I was wondering, why is there two GiCs on the workshop? I see from the comments some internet slapfight happened but I wanna know a little more, if it's not something you wanna talk about it's ok

ah thank you I'll go see if it works

Search the workshop for Spawnable Item Pack
I've never used it so you'll have to do your own research.
But I hear people can use OpenStarbound to automate what I was talking about now.

Where do I find this tool? I'm really dumb sorry

You can do better than that:

The core SIP tools come with their own item-ID-scanning script for other mods.
It does what you ask for you.

And once you have it, you are free to post a GiCv2.8 SIP patch as your own and distribute it on the workshop.

Go for it.

best mod
would be cool if you posted an item id list since I spawning in stuff
keep up the good work!

Oh.. I'm sorry for you, bro. Hang on, you'll be fine

I hope to still work on the aforementioned themes, both through my writing and Grace's art.

It's just that I won't be able to do that for another few months until after my editing-work season is complete.

My more immediate concern is picking up the pieces of my life after Hurricane Helene destroyed most of my neighborhood but left my house and car suspiciously untouched.

I would just shut up and keep my head down-

-but the extra part-time job I picked up to work right now isn't exactly possible considering the store is literally underwater...

After the development team got downsized and one author tried to suck everything up his ass-

-yes, the other version is now much more heavy on the Touhou whereas when I was working on the project, I tried to dilute it and mix in more, different influences.

I never said my writing was good.
I only tried to make the pieces work together with the parts I was given from other developers.

But you can see that, yes, it's more than just the writing:
The themes and aesthetics and more created an overall feel.

And this GiCv2.8 is a rollback to that.

I downloaded GiC a long time ago and was delighted with the mod and the design of the mod page. I recently decided to return to the game and look at the mod page and was a little bit.. I am surprised by her change. At first, I even thought that I had confused something. Previously, the design was somehow more.. Serious? Showing hostile factions on planets, etc. And now the design indicates that the authors of the fashion are VERY fond of Touhou. Did such changes come after the turning point of your conflict, or was it all intended that way?

I never said I quit the project.
They forcibly removed my access from it and began destroying my (and others') work.

I don't know where you got any ideas about any verbal agreement.
Go crawl back to Med's Führerbunker and inspect the writing on the walls more carefully.

You don't know what you're talking about, so I'm done talking to you.

Plus, last time I checked you were saying you quit because they were removing your influence on the project, including things you worked on and they were re-working. So what story is a lie?

Plus the work you put in was a part of whatever agreement you had with them during the development process. Its like if you were developing a game and decided to quit from your position and sue because of how your resources were used. You can't do that.

Verbal agreements are not good enough of a claim for IP ownership.

On top of that, I was able to identify and document files in the 3.2.4 update that were still there which I had either outright written, edited, or otherwise worked upon, further justifying the DMCA.

Furthermore, there was nothing "fake" or "false" about the DMCA claim:

The opposing party stipulated that I was never part of the project.
This is contradicted by their repeated exclamation that my work was destroyed/removed.

That's not how facts work and if they maintain that stance during litigation, they will lose the case very quickly. Never mind the stack of evidence my IP attorney compiled demonstrating my personal work on the project.

I was in my right to pursue litigation but other members of the community convinced me to simply develop my own branch of GiC built on older versions that contained the content they actually enjoy. This is content that the opposing party removed, citing legal obligations which do not exist.

Copyright was registered with the U.S. Copyright Office.
You can find my registration through the government website.
Apparently it is public information.

Furthermore, there is documentation, witnesses, evidence and more that you aren't going to find in the opposing Discord server.
There's nothing to think about:
They're going to say everything was my fault and make themselves look like saints.

I'm not going to waste more time deliberating on their subjectivity and outright lies.

I am confused man. Accounts of all of the other people who worked on the mod said that you did barely anything and contributed to a toxic work environment. They literally have WITNESSES. Where did you even register the copyright? You are just setting yourself up to have a rough future. People will find out what all you did.

good thats clears everything up now i know.

While it wasn't necessary, I registered my copyright to the project to protect my right to distribute, develop, copy, modify, and continue work on the project I co-authored. Grace continues to work on the sprites you like under the protection of my copyright when Med turned hostile toward her too.

The unfortunate reality is that both are real. Neither is fake.
And if Med doesn't learn that before he tries to take me to court-
-he's going to have to learn things the way he always did:
The hard way.

At the time of initial publication, there were multiple listed co-authors of the original GiC, which is still available as v3.2.4+

Grace and I are two of those co-authors.
Med and Echo are the others.

We were all devs.
Med tried to get rid of anyone that he thought he didn't "need" so he could use GiC to beg for money on Patreon, Ko-Fi, and to sell commissions. This was legally unnecessary and petty. It was done to satisfy his ego because he didn't like the idea of sharing the project and didn't like the idea of making money off of what other people might argue wasn't entirely his work.

And so he started spreading the lie that he is the only guy responsible for GiC despite Echo still standing silently next to him.

okay its time for some gosh darn ansners gosh darn it. if you guy don't stop figting and messing eacth other i want to know witch one is the real gic gosh darn it. look it other one is back up so i think this drama neesd to stop who is the real dev and who is not. i want evdace also now thers two gic mods now. but witch one is the real one? well the one wit the better pixel grathics witch is this one would have hold up better but i don't think the other gic where to be back up if that was the case. i'm sick and tired of this name calling and ponting of fingers. so who is the real dive at this point? bescue i don't know anymore. so sotp with the drama.
