HUD Override Not Working in 1.5x? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I have the exact same file size, file name, and referencing as my 1.1 mod, and yet, it's not properly overriding. I had both HUD window files up in WinMerge to ensure I didn't screw up in any coding. It's the same. The ingame HUD top and bottom panels aren't changing. Can anyone confirm if this is a bug?

Had I played DS, I probable could come up with something. I stopped sometime before Rebellion came out. Wasn't any reason when I have the same community resources (TSOP, Sins Plus, etc) in my mod. :-\

My latest crashes yield a truncated Debug.txt and have no constructive information in them. I have the latest drivers and have validated the files in Steam through the Properties menu. There has to be a way to debug this game without speaking an obscure language that only computers seem to really understan

[quote who="LafinJack" reply="3" id="3377234"] It came with my computer and I didn't bother to downgrade. It's just like Windows 7 if you turn off Metro.[/quote] LOL, no, it isn't. The kernel was completely rebuilt on this build. It still has performance and compliancy issues.

Reply to [MOD] Maelstrom [Trinity | Rebellion] in Sins Modding Sins Forums

It doesn't say it is compliant, so, no. Besides, many research files have added values on them now (related to DLC ID numbers).

I have to update over 500 files by hand for it to be 1.5x. How many do you think he'd have to do?

I'm still looking for a reason to use this as I'm interested, but won't run a 5 hour game, myself, to test the impact it has on performance. ENBs typically inject into the game extra graphical paramet

Looks like somebody adjusted the gamma, that's it. Not worth the typical FPS loss you get from ENB.

[quote who="simonak" reply="7" id="3374643"] ENB shouldn't have much effect performance wise as theres no real technical shadow rendering, it's mostly straight forward with no flashy effects like first/third person games. Also theres no DoF things either which are often causes of FPS drops in shooters using ENB (see Bokeh DoF for Skyrim as an example).

[quote who="jacksonpang92" reply="4" id="3373853"] if the late game becomes laggy or stuttering you can deactivate it by pressing shift+F12.[/quote] The idea is to barely have ANY performance impact. That's it. That's why you don't normally have ENBs with strategy games. Maybe you can find a nice medium in it.

How much of a late game performance impart will you get? That's what matters.

Look at all the bitching in here. If it's too hard, turn down the difficulty (you have more than 3 presets for a reason), or find what the issue is, and mod it out. Problem solved. On a side note, I haven't played the new AI yet, but I'll be happy to play once my mod is fully converted over. The mod is tech level expansions, racial/planetary (making each race/planet more unique) rebalancing , dramatically increased importance on roletypes, and gam
