Archive of the pros versus modders game and current MP setup thread

As most of us know, there are two main communities in Sins of a Solar Empire, one for multiplayer and one for modding. Bar the occasional group of friends playing a mod on ICO together however, these two communities rarely interact with each other, besides occasional discussions of game balance.

 

Therefore I propose a little icebreaker in the true Sins fashion, complete with the typical disintegration of metal, screams of nuked worlds, and if we're lucky even the rare space pony sighting, that we've all come to know and love, regardless of which form of Sins we get most of our entertainment from. Yes, I think its time for the first ever Pro Player vs Modders MP game! :grin:

 

Of course as we are meeting in the Pro player's home court, I think in the interest of a semi-interesting game the modders will need a team advantage of some sort. Any ideas on the exact number of players on each team as well as the best time to arrange this will be welcome (I'd guess sometime on Thanksgiving weekend). And of course, if you're interested do let us know.

I'd like to have one pro player sort of be in charge of the logistics of making the game who promises to be there, presumably if any of the other pros don't show we can find substitutes at the game launch. As modders don't often log on to ICO don't commit unless you're sure you can make it at whatever time we agree on. Also if possible I think it would be nice for as many different mods as possible to be represented, but obviously filling the roster comes first.

WTF?  I kept joining and rejoining one night because it wasn't allowing me to talk, and eventually game up...I even posted that problem here, so don't be player hatin'....

Some people also only check to see if there is anyone to chat with, if not they may have better things to do away from the computer. ;P

Also, boshimi, maybe zombie, and I are up for a game tonight if anyone else wants to join.

Hey, I log on for way longer than that even if I don't see anyone. If I leave the comp after a bit cause no one logs on and then they all appear while I'm away, I claim no liability.

Besides, you know how much I like to talk.

Aw--I was here.  I didn't know you guys were on.  Duh.  Say something or poke me.

Reply #591 Top

Anyone else up for a game tonight?

Reply #592 Top

Might be, if I can quit trying to figure out the math behind Star Ruler structure. 

 

Or let me rephrase...Im working harder than I should to mod this game. :S

Unfortunately by plague-riddled grandkids all spent the last to weeks at our house.  I'm blood-letting and applying leeches now.  I'd come on but the likeliehood I'll fall asleep at my desk is pretty high at the moment.

Good change on the title by the way.

I bought Star Ruler when it was on sale.  How is it for modding? 

Reply #594 Top

Its a whole different ball park. 

 

Lots of Excel style. Lots. Ive only just dabbled in it to try and expand my modding know how. There are some mods though that have done alot. But I do think to do anything worth anything some programming skills are required.

Like how to make and run scripts, etc.

Argh--I'll continue to just punish myself with Sins.

On at the moment ... arguing unsuccessfully with the galaxyScenarioDef file ...

Reply #597 Top

So...it seems we all lost intrest.

 

Maybe we should expand our game choices?

Reply #598 Top

Yeah, I just couldn't make it last night. Too much stuff to get done, even modding is on hold until maybe Wednesday.

To what?

Reply #599 Top

Its not just you buddy. 

 

It seems we all kinda lost intrest for the time being.

 

 

 

Doesnt matter what we play, biggest factor is if we all have it.

 

So everyone just start throwing out games....Im sure there gotta be at least one we can all play that we have or can get.

I got on last night, but no one was there other than Boshimi...then he left, and I was very sad and lonely, so I played a LAN game with a friend....long story short, the interest is still there for me, may try to be on again tonight...
