is it at all possible for someone else to pick this up who has knowledge about modding and update it when they are able to?

rest in peace.

it seams shadows has indeed become forgotten so has this mod. so be it.

update please to 2.2.1 ver

Hope someday you return, thank you for all your wonderful mods buddy.

I believe I've made a horrible choice of choosing the guardian jump drive fot the automated dreadnought. The ship won't move out of the system! How do I change that?

Playable Guardians Redone has been released here -> http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1349955829

hmm.. the mod still works.. but there's something buggy..

I tested this mod to see whether this mod works post 2.0.. I defeated Ether Drake and gain a White Ether Drake that I choose.. it works.. but it's spees is very very slow.. slower than titan

@Crusader Vanguard As someone who only recently got their computer back up and running after literal MONTHS without it due to multiple reasons, I feel your pain. I'm unsure if I can help here, but just in case you MIGHT be suffering the same problem I am having, I'll go ahead and post it up.

If you are having random blue screens for seemingly no reason at no set time, or possibly when trying to watch stuff on youtube (It happened a LOT when I did that) Have issues like it saying it couldn't access your user data (Aka you try and log in and it makes a temp account for you because it can't get in) And other stuff like that, it could possibly be the motherboard. That's the issue mine turned out to have.

That update Won't have much of a effect on the mod to my knowledge it would most likely just be a stupid red exclamation point

@Shadows-Forgotten By that point you'll probably need to patch it for 2.0.2, but more power to ya, friend.

I would like to tell everyone that Playable Guardians will in a month or so be sorta fixed for 2.0.1 by me

Hope your computer gets fixed!

@Crusader Vanguard, thanks for all your hard work, the Stellaris community will not forget you! And if you ever return, we will still be here! (unless the ACTUAL apocalypse happens)

I hope you can get your computer fixed up.
Thanks for maintaining the mod up till now.

Everyone, please read the description. Specifically the top in every type of formating I can get your attention in. I don't know if anyone wants to try and touch this mod, but if anyeone wants to try, there you go.

Yes, you CAN build your own.

I have a question.
I kill the Guardian, can I make him my ally?

Sorry to hear about your PC, hope you get it fixed.

@[GRC]Emporer Xenpatine - I think that’s one of the “unique” messages you can get. Are you playing as GC? A Hive Mind/Machine Empire?

Unfortunately either way there is nothing I can do for you right now. My PC has a BSOD that I cannot solve so right now I’m without a PC, never mind my files. Which is made funnier my the closing release of the 2.0 update. As soon as I get my PC back up, I’ll look into this, but right now I’m not sure if I want to port this. It is hell to maintain never mind update.

@xnasu27 - Yes, they have been designed to have more powerful weaponry (especially the mouth beam) but less durability versus their “grown” counterparts.

For some reason the baby drake counts as a guardian?

I got two of these, and when I clicked one of them, the copy grayed out and I couldnt exit it.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1279666420 Can someone please Explain this bug to me please?

Ah, ok.

@Herr Von Kuchen - Guardian systems only (outside of Enclaves).

Does the system spawning menu also spawn in the Sanctuary ringworld?

@Forrestaubrey - I'm hoping to actually remove the "multiple" feature all together somehow. The multiplayer support (more than one player needing the same Guardian) and the AI coverage support (if the AI beats the Guardian it isn't lost to you), but I need to make sure I do it right and it works.

If all else fails, I'll install an option to "deactivate" the safeguard.

the constant respawing of the guardians i havent defeated is all little annoyning. mainly because the exact same empirs keep defeating them, giving them constant access to really good worlds. Looking at you ether drake. Be able to turn of guardian respawn would be nice.

no i have a fortress mod but i must use the event code

@Michel3345 - Do you have any other Fortress mods? Like ones that change the Fortress techs in any way? That might explain that one.

There is a vanilla automated Dreadnought if you spawn one in. Once you defeat it you should get the option to rebuild it. That's the one I mean.

thanks for the answer
but there is no vanilla automated dreadnoght and the enigma fortress event doesnt start

@Michel3345 - Under normal curcumstances, no. There is a "loophole" I left, which if you can figure out, will allow you to get ALL the Guardians ONCE if you are smart about it. Outside of that, you can get one Playable Guardian plus the vanilla Automated Dreadnought and the Baby Drake. The Carrack Pirate Galleon is also a "free" second if you get another Guardian first.

can i have more than 1 guardian ?

@Celepito - Yes, in fact, this was SUPPOSE to happen in the vanilla game, but Paradox has more errors than I can count in that file, and I'm sure I haven't found most of them. If you cannot tell you are entering the Ether Drake system, consider it "realism." LOL. The Drake will move back to its system once it does a "pass," and if it "remains" in your system, that's a glitch I need to fix (but I believe this was resolved weeks ago). But no, this is how the Drake was suppose to behave from the get-go.

if you fight them, there are a couple who go and make havoc in your territories till they regen to 95%

Does this mod change Guardian behaviour? Since I installed it, every time I finde the Ether Drake at the beginning of the game it moves to my home system and destroyes everything there. Is that normal?

*thumbs up*

@Everyone - Updated Playable Guardians with NSC's new (and now hopefully even better improved) fleet formation spacing. We believe this setup will allow all ships to not pile up on each other but also not have eveyrthing so far spread out that the back half of the fleet never engages in battle.

:-s

@WWDragon - Yeah, CaptainX3 got a personal attack troll post that wasn't deleted by moderators, and now it's turned into another modders versus non-modders reply war. It's just sad.

Here's hoping you guys can get a good dialogue with them.

ok I will check. Thank you, you're awesome.

will do, thank you. steamhappy:

@aschergoodrich @WWDragon - I believe I have fixed the issue you both described. Please let me know if anything else magically breaks.

That happend in my game as described by aschergoodrich, too.
Only I just used console to kill it, so that it respawned.

@aschergoodrich - If they AI got there first, it should have recongized that, destroyed the ship, and then spawns again elsewhere. It actually started more to defend against the system ending up in FE space.

I had someone else not long ago tell me that the AI attack it destroyed the ship like I mentioned above. I hate it when glitches do both. LOL I'll have to figure it out later though.

Just a heads up, the pirate guardian still stays there and nothing happens if the AI gets it first. It just says that it's disabled and needs to be repaired but I cant do anything. Made me so sad lol

if i restart the the game to one of my first saves before I met the technosphere can i get him fairly

@william dritt - No, but there is a "cheat code." To avoid spoilers for those who don't want to know these codes, I'll direct you to the NSC Website where the codes are house on this page. Just find one you want and type it in:

http://www.nscmod.com/playable-guardian-cheats/

is there a console comand to reaserch the technoligy to be able to make him.
