Impulse is not recognizing that TOA is installed

same here--I'm thinking it won't be on impulse until the patch goes up.

It is possible you may have to reinstall Twilight. I'll check into that. The expansion pack setup from SDC was a total hack (as in, Stardock Central literally had the two GalCiv expansion packs supported through binary changes in SDC itself). 

Thank you for the quick reply . I was hoping I would not have to uninstall then reinstall via impulse . I'll wait and see what you find out thank you for your trouble in advance.!!

I had this issue, I was able to fix by hacking the registry (I have XP, so I dont know how this will work with other OS's). The issue is with SDC and what it writes to the registry, not Impulse actually.

If you are comfortable with regediting then you can do the following:

goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Drengin.net\GalCiv2\Twilight\

add a New String Value called Path (do this by right clicking on Twilight folder in regedit), right click on the Path string you just created, and type in the path to your Twilight installation location (where ever your TALaunch.exe file is located).

edit the Exe string (by double clicking on it) and remove the "Twilight\" part from the "Twilight\TALaunch.exe"

To see how this should look, take a peek at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Drengin.net\GalCiv2\DarkAvatar

I hope I explained this well enough. If I did a poor job, you may be best to uninstall TA from SDC and reinstall in Impulse.

Cheers,

I can not get even impulse installed:

Unfortunately I can not install impulse with the (old) free version of Kerio Firewall.
The installer does drive my Firewall nuts in ways I have never seen before.
I get more Firewall shields in my status bar then can be displayed and only on ending the impulse_setup process I get the question if the start of the installation program should be allowed.

I know Kerio is quite and old Firewall but for me it has worked for years without any special problems...


And if you take a look at the impulse forum you can think this can only be a bad yoke.
Impulse is not looking like a mayor working program. So why not using SDcentral??? That at least works!

Big problem.

So I downloaded Impulse and redownoaded TOA. Upgraded to 1.92a. Uninstalled SDC.


And my machine is not utilizing its second core at all (as was the case from having SDC installed and stuff)
.
Use max cpu is checked as always, (preferences were saved). However now when im playing TOA, only 1 core is being utilized. (Hurray for G15lcdmiscellany!)

Anyways I'm not sure what has caused this at all. Is this some weird side effect from impulse not being multithreaded for dual core machines?

xNaquada is now sad.

mmm looks like we need to wait on update

Nasty

Here's a update. Dark Avatar is behaving correctly.
I went through and re registered my old GC2 and GC2DA serials as it prompted me to... (why?) So i used the new impulse serial.

Upon returning to the TOA game now, the 2nd core works.

I have no idea what could have caused this. Something is definitely fishy with TOA. Apparently launching Dark Avatar before TOA did it,
(as I re-registered TOA after it worked...)

So its either...

A) Dark Avatar must be launched once before TOA.
Somehow the activation mechanism for TOA checks DA (???)
C) I have no idea.


Something is buggy somewhere. I'll keep you posted.

Oh yes and TOA cannot ALT-TAB without crashing. This is both verisons 1.91 and 1.92a. Please fix this....

So I have gotten it installed and it even recognizes ToA...But still I think sdcentral was much more streamlined to the purpose...


By the way where is the full impulse installer for PCs without Network access...
To my understanding for GalCiv there is "NO" copy protection for using it on more than one PC for one person!!!

Whatever it is, it has nothing to do with Impulse.

I can confirm that adding a Path variable to HKLM... for twilight solves the issue.
Just restarted impulse and it works fine

We are looking into the ToTA not showing installed issue.  We will have a fix shortly.  Please do not reinstall/uninstall ToTA.

In 1.95 can you guys fix the auto attack issue for ships?

It is still present in 1.92a.

What a magilla.
