Reply to Multi Core Optimization in Sins Modding Sins Forums

[quote who="ItchyTasty" reply="2" id="3196683"]The one the link points to is generic, it functions for all applications not just SC:FA, as I said I'm currently testing it to see if it actually has an affect on the problem.[/quote] FA is a regular game in my LAN group. If this had better functionality or could work better than the Core Maximizer, people would be using this, but it doesn't. Regardless, I'm pretty sure the principle is still the same. [quo

Reply to Multi Core Optimization in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Who wants to be the first to tell him about the multicore/x64 issue? I don't feel like beating the dead horse again. On a side note, an easy way of getting better lag out of the game is to reduce the fleet cap., play smaller maps, and direct connecting seems to help (bypassing ICO). Also, the core maximizer for SC/FA works by separating the threading of the game to different cores. I don't see how it'll work

Reply to The state of Steam in 2012 in Elemental Dev Journals Sins Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="288" id="3195000"]I have not had any problems playing Sins Rebellion off line. When I demo it on media tours, I'm obviously not connected to the Internet. It's just a lone laptop. Steam just says "Would you like to go in off line mode" to which I say yes and off I go. [/quote] Offline mode has been off and on broken over the last month, though. Steam has a way of breaking itself with updates. That's about the only downside

Just about all those file archiving programs allow you to write to just about any format nowadays. ZIP has been the long standard, anyway.

Reply to Whiney Modding Question in Sins Modding Sins Forums

[quote quoting="post"] Alright, I know this is me just being a whiney little unknowledgable idiot and trying desperately to clutch all and any straws I can lay my hands on, but I'm going to ask again and display my ignorance again, only to get beaten back in to the dirt. Is there absolutely no way to change the game to allow renaming of all ships and/or structures? Surely there is just a little passage in the capital ships files that can be copied and pa

Reply to Tweaking artillery cruisers in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Sounds kind of interesting having artillery cruisers, but it's pointless with long range frigates. Besides, I argue getting more functionality out of ship. Being anti-structure alone isn't good enough to keep in the long term.

I never could understand people complaining of desyncing errors. I've had a few early in Diplomacy development, but I haven't had any in over 2 years. [img]http://i45.tinypic.com/szz6rp.jpg[/img] I've been running the same game for the 3-4 weeks, playing on the weekends (multiple players: one local, other online). I always use direct connect and never ICO. Granted, I am playing through an early, minimal version of my mod (switching to my full o

[quote who="Wintermist" reply="25" id="3193941"] Sure, actual gameplay issues are more important, but in a perfect world, all features in a game should work as intended.[/quote] Unless it unlocks bonus content in the game, anything at all, achievements are absolutely worthless. If you ever actually run across somebody bragging about achievements in a game with no benefit, punch them. Hard.

Reply to Can Research techs contain constraints? (rebellion) in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I believe the usage only applies to weapon type. I've never seen anywhere in the vanilla game where you can limit a weapon upgrade to a ship simply based on code (unless it's the only ship of that weapon type). I understand the program to seek out all assets that contain that particular type and applies the upgrade. You're probable going to have to limit what ships have that particular weapon type.

Do you guys want this? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I'm looking to implement most of Sins Plus into my mod, but in doing so, I'll need to make it Rebellion compliant, anyway. Would you guys want a stand alone release of a Rebellion compliant form of Sins Plus? I don't think Uzii's work has been touched for awhile...

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="1259" id="3191781"] This is the only real criticism I have of it as well. I mainly played this mod with friends, if you go random and get one of the Vanilla races you're probably screwed. If Maelstrom is planning on adding a lot of stuff still in Rebellion, I'd recommend he just scrap the normal races completely to make room for his content.[/quote] I had to rebalance the Maelstrom races when I put them into my diplomacy compilation mod for my

[quote who="Azuvic" reply="1257" id="3191740"]This is the best mod for Sins of A Solar Empire of all time, and I would like to see it in Rebellion.[/quote] LOLZ. One of the best, but isn't the best. It has a glaring flaw: the new races have too much tech/advantages compared to the original races. It makes the whole mod unbalanced. With some small tweaking, they can work with no issue.
