Universal GalCiv 2 update document.


Galactic Civilizations updates have to be run off the hard drive.  
In order to do this, most updates come with some sort of installation 
program.


Shipyards Users
---------------
The key file in Shipyards are its unique files and ships.dll.

If you download a GalCiv 2 update, you want the update to replace all 
the files except for the unique shipyards files and ships.dll.  As a 
general policy, all you need to do is to go to your existing GalCiv+Shipyards 
directory, copy the ships.dll to a temporary directory, run the update (usually 
setup.exe) and then copy ships.dll back.

Other files
-----------
If other updates are made, such as the battles update, just copy 
them to the directory you already have GalCiv2 in.  Generally speaking, 
you will need to have downloaded an update to GAlCiv2 that allows you to 
play off the harddrive (all of the updates do).

Officially supported files
--------------------------
Only GalCiv2 updates and Shipyards are supported by Stardock Systems.  
Files developed with the Galciv2 developer's kit (such as the battles 
module) are not officially supported by Stardock.
