[quote who="IskatuMesk" reply="45" id="3173484"]Hmm. I do see the shadow map pixels on the colony capital, and on the small turrets with the ragnarov, but certainly not as prominent as some of mine.

Regardless, like I said, it could be a driver issue. I'd wait until the next Catalyst drivers a

[quote quoting="post"] Really should have made this thread when the first Sins was released as it has always bugged me. I much prefer a rather static view throughout the course of the entire game, and having right click to rotate the camera always causes me to accidentally mess up the camera angle occasionally when right clicking to enable auto-explore on scouts and other stuff. Is there any .ini file somewhere to edit so i can delete this "hotkey", or perhaps even remove cam

[quote who="Mecha-Lenin" reply="65" id="3173454"] That's some foul language young man. You moderated porn forum?[/quote] No language is foul. It's just a bunch of uptight people. It's only an issue if it's abused like crazy. And I didn't moderate anything, I ran the day-to-day of a general entertainment forum (it grew out of a base).

[quote who="harpo99999" reply="96" id="3173476"]the only files I had uploaded to them were my modding utilities, reference files and some mods that I had permission for the uploading of from the modders. so in my opinion it is a screwup BY mediafire and I will NOT support a mob of useless sheep that will lock an account for no good reason.

In particular, what was updated in those files? That's probable a bad question to ask since people barely had a day to play around with this stuff.

[quote who="Lavo_2" reply="42" id="3173393"] Depends on your definition of "more". For some people, this allows for far more customization of maps, allowing them to bypass a file's entity values. For some it results in less variety, as you cannot, for example, have a random star which can have a different moveAreaRadius and hyperspaceExitRadius based on the star which is spawned; you are now forced to enter in these values or face error messages.[/quote] You have more control

[quote who="Savyg" reply="185" id="3173111"] Of course with digital distribution it hardly matters anymore, self publishing is no longer impossible. [/quote] Key part here. Everything else doesn't matter. DD is the new format for small indy studios to get things done. We still have issues with publishers like Ubisoft jamming their fucking terrible DRM into games and destroying decent titles with it (see Heroes VI), but I digress.

[quote quoting="post"] Therefore I'm out of this forum. There are maybe 4-5 active posters on this forum who know anything about balance. Now minus 1.

[quote who="IskatuMesk" reply="37" id="3173329"]I have high shadows on (lower shadows seems to reduce the shadow map resolution further). It's only the self-shadowing that seems to freak out.

[quote quoting="post"] So, Sins was one of my favorite RTS back in 2008 or whenever it came out, so I was really excited to hear that a new expansion would soon be released. Titans! New capital ships... new races even. The anticipation was killing me, and I happily threw down $40 for the pre-order. This is it? I've gotten better value out of DLC packs. What content there is... is well done. But there just really isn't enough of it for me to recom
