The next update won't be for a while. At the very least it will be after 1.03 come out next week. If it breaks the mod, I will try to get something out quickly so that everyone can still play, but if it works with 1.03 then I will hold off on releasing anything, so I can try to get some other stuff done.

The meshes for the units that are still using vanilla ones will hopefully be coming soon. I haven't heard anything from Kreeargh in a while, so I'm not really sure.

Hi, first off just wanted to say that this a very cool mod and I am impressed. I especially like the weapons effects, I think that really gives it the feel of the show. I did have a couple suggestions for ships to use; for the LRM missile frigate u could use the Zephyr which is that big spinning wheel ship u always see on the show. Also u could use Colonial One for the Cielo command Cruiser, i think that would fit perfectly. Also I have couple ability suggestions maybe give the Sentrus a super repair ability similar to repair bays do (if thats possible) in exchange for the Shield Restore ability. And I know others have suggested this but I would make the Ram ability on the Mercury a 6th level ability and then add another ability to it; which could be Concentration Aura (call it CIC Support or something) or maybe Vengeance or Animosity. Just a thought, thanks for the mod and keep up the good work!

thx guys ure great man!!!

Ok i have a AI problem i encounter just with this Mod so far.

It happen often that your ships,strikecraft,station dont attack. Special they dont like to attack Pirates.

It dont happen allways, but i notice it serveral times.

I have a save, where my Cap,Station,fighter are next by some Pirates, which attack some structures. An enemy Scout comes in and the Fighter engage it, and fly back to the hangars.

Canute, to be honest, I have no idea why that is happening. I haven't had it happen to me. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I kinda had a problem similar to that,my starbasw and strikecraft would attack the pirtaes raiding me but they would fire up on an enemy scout,i think thats what he meant.

btw i playing Colonies at moment and that problem isn't against pirate only.

I notice when i command them manualy to attack something, often they stay idle after they worked their queue. But not allways, so i can't reproduce it yet.

I request Kyogre's email to send him a safe, where he can take a look.

I get a map dump error when I run this mod - yes ver 1.02 and game ver. 1.16 - I think it's the game ver. 1.16 that's not playing right, and word on this????? It looks great and really want to play it.

yes it is for entrenchment 1.02 ONLY. if you are trying to run in sins 1.16 IT WILL CRASH

harpo

Ok, so How do I just run entrenchment 1.02 - it's part of the game - isn't it????

I ran the Sins of a solor empire entremchment app - I load the game - mod - I ge this error: MiniDump

C:\users\admin`1\appdata\local\temp\sins dump\sins-entrenchment v1.02-2009-06-08-01-05-55-4828-2956.dmp

hello, not to sound like a complete dunce( that i am lol) but where do i put the mod into. i cant find a mod folder anywhere in sins

hms-arkroyal try this info, it has helped a lot  of sinners

assuming you have sins 1.16/entrenchment 1.02,  the galaxy forge maps NEED to be placed here for xp

C:\Documents and Settings\'user name'\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\mods v1.16 for sins
C:\Documents and Settings\'user name'\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\mods entrenchmentv1.02 for entenchment

or here for vista/windows 7

C:\Users\'user name'\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\mods v1.16 for sins
C:\Users\'user name'\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\mods entrenchment v1.02 forentrenchment 1.02

NOTE the first two folders after the 'user name' are hidden , so to see them you must first click on 'tools' then 'folder options', then 'view', then click on 'show hidden files& folders' then click ok, then you will be able to browse your want to the folder. I suggest when you find the folder that you create a shortcut to it on the desktop

hope this helps you

harpo

thanks for the help mate, appreicate it

Just run Entrenchment. (click the desktop icon if you have it, run it from Impulse, etc) The mod should then work.

HMS-ARKROYAL your problem is that you're in the wrong folder. Harpo put the filepath in the post above yours (#164)

Just wanted to ask why the mod hasn't been made more standalone from the start so it would just add those races to the 3 original. Is it because of game balance?

I like the mod very much but somehow it would be cool if mods could somehow be better combined so you could just gather mods and have something like a fair large number of races to choose from Butter nevermind..great mod. I like it

found it, thanks

Because of the balance, do you realy think the Standard races got any chance against these new rances ?

Well, originally, I did want to just add the Colonials+Cylons to the vanilla races, but it didn't work too well. Everytime I tried to load the mod, the game crashed. It was way too hard to figure out what the problem was, because there is no developer.exe out for the current patch. The new patch later this week will have a dev.exe, so I may go back and try to add in the vanilla races again, depending on how many people want me to.

If you want a lot of races, I suggest 7 Deadly Sins. It has a ton of races, and in the next release the Colonials and Cylons will likely be in it.

Can I edit the price of the ships? 

Also, how do I edit the number of squadrons a ship can carry and how many craft are in the squadron?

Go to the mod and open the "Gameinfo" folder. Each one of the files is a ship/ability/structure, etc. CAPITALSHIP_TECHBATTLESHIP is the Mercury, TECHCOLONY is the Galactica, etc. There is a section called "baseprice" just change the numbers there to change cost. Down towards the bottom there is a "Commandpoints" section. Starting Value is the base # of squads a cap can have, valueincreaseperlevel is pretty self-explanitory.

# of craft is a squad is controled in the SquadPsiBomber (Cylon heavy raider) SquadPsiCombat (Cylon raider) etc. You want to change the "baseMaxNumFighters" value.

EDIT: I forgot to add this. You can change whatever you want, all I ask is that you do NOT release your version. (This goes for everyone, not just you) Thanks

....Um, I'm using the mod for the normal Sins, not the one for Entrenchment.

Um... it shouldn't work, period. When you enable the mod, it should crash, because Entrenchment mods don't work with vanilla Sins. Assuming you somehow got it to work with vanilla, I can't imagine that changes much as far as which files to edit, etc.

Cylon Scout - make it Cylon Raider - mediocre firepower, very fast, and cheap to make but very fragile + Cylon Scout Jump Drive (Infallible Jump Drive ability) + Cylon broadcast relay agent (Probe Ability) - See "Final Cut"

I found some real cylon meshes.

Cylon Frigate (Light/Siege/LRM) 

Light Frigate: very fast, cheap to make, and decent firepower but very fragile + virus ability

Siege Frigate: very fast, cheap to make, and good firepower (planet only) but very fragile

LRM Frigate: very fast, cheap to make, and can spam-spewing missile (a bit weak but good rate of fire) but very fragile

Cylon Support Cruiser (offensive/defense)

Offensive: expensive to build + rare + Cylon Information relay system (Designate Target ability) - See Gina covertly gain access to takes the Pegasus systems (include weapons grid) off-line the ship, which leads to many casualties in "Razor" + Cylon Virus Field (Distortion Field ability) - more powerful than a simple virus ability

Defense: expensive to build + rare + Reactive organic resin (Reactive Nanite Armor ability) + Cylon infiltration (Telekinetic Push ability) or (Repulsion ability)

Cylon Cruiser (Heavy/Carrier)

Cylon HEAVY Cruiser - heavy armor + very expensive to build + extremely rare + spam-spewing missiles (Anti-Structure/ships) and 4 nukes missiles (slow rate of fire) + Cylon Advanced Jump Drive (Intercept ability) or Cylon Navigation Program (Inertial Field) + Self-Reactive organic resin (Reintegration ability) - the reason of this is that ship is very rare and expensive to build, so that ability helps increasing its chances of survival.  

Cylon Carrier - reasonable cost to build + very fast + weak armor + Squadrons Supported: 5 = mini version of basestar or Cylon capital carrier

Cylon Dreadnought - Cylon version of Pegasus or HEAVY Carrier/Battleship combo = 2.5x firepower of basestar (includes nukes missiles - slow rate of fire) and Squadrons Supported: 25 (more than Cylon Capital Carrier) + very expensive to build and 65 supply cost + extremely rare

You need to contact someone who creates those meshes for asking a permission before using his meshes.

What do you think?
