Yes, you can add multiple weapons to a frigate, just name the emitters "Weapon-1" instead of "Weapon-0", and add the weapon into the entity and it will work.

Reply to Scenario Picture doesnt show in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

In GalaxyForge, with nothing selected, in the Display subsection in the Toolbox there is a field called "Browse Picture" (just beneath the scenario description) in which, using your previous example, you would enter "ScenarioPicture-randomwars" noting the lack of file extension.

Assuming the files haven't been converted to binary, then you would have to go into each individual planet*.entity file and change the fairly obvious entry that deals with resource extractors

Firstly posting this in the modding forum probably would have got you help quicker. 2. you have to write inter-star wormholes in by hand, otherwise you just have to select the phaselane between the two wormholes and change its type 3. Check out the GalaxyScenarioDef.GalaxyScenarioDef File (there is a copy in the GalaxyForge folder), it contains all the definitions of the templates. and for part 2, to add a new item to a planet with out using a template you need to add a new gro

Reply to Long Term development ideas in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Firstly, monthly Subscriptions for non-MMO's are in general a terrible idea, in part because "you" (as a company) are forced into regularly creating things to justify the subscription cost, which puts undue pressure on the developer and would lead to empasis on quantity rather than quality. And in part because PC gamers dont expect to (and won't) keep paying to be able to play a game they have already purchased once. Second, I happen to quite like the micro-expansions concept (ala Obliv

Reply to Can't improve pirate raids. in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Though I havent tested it myself, from what i can remember those who have tried this before decided that adding capitalships to pirate raids isn't possible. My guess as to why would be that the Raid can't handle capitalship entities, it would probably work if you created a frigate entity out of the capitalship, though obviously this would remove levelling.

Reply to Expansion Request: No Space Elves Allowed in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

To be fair to the Starcraft people they are probably just getting their revenge, because when Starcraft was first released a hell of a lot of people just bitched about the races being 40K rip-offs. (For the record, likes both Starcraft and 40k)

My vote is for Evil Undead Robots (Though they probably shouldn't be as overpowered as the Necrons are, then again no sensible race should be) Additionaly i feel this needs responding to [quote]Well I haven't really seen the Eldar described as 'space elves'[/quote] Then you have not been paying attention.

Reply to Do some thing just don't fit the lore? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Surely, if you are wanting to pick holes in the gameplay\lore connection,the better question would be: Why do the Vasari have credits at all? In general the Vasari would have no need for any form of currency, Firstly, If we assume that their nano-tech is at a sufficiently high level to single handedly construct starships, then it could almost certainly be used to create any inorganic good, as such the chains that a monetary economy requires wouldn't exist, you would simply have

For Mesh files atleast you only need the ones you have changed, i run my mods like it. and as no one else has mentioned it, changes to Particles requires all other files as well, atleast i think it does.

Not to hijack the thread but... [quote]Is it possible to do test battles. Say you want to pit 70 LRMs up against 40 Illuminators.

All you need to do is create a very simple map, literaly two planets linked together) Then Right click the first planet --> edit, select the "Current planet" tree in the left hand column

Research Help in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Has anybody discovered a way of limiting the effects of research (say armour upgrades) to specific ships\facilties\whatever ? Because as far as I have discovered its all or nothing, for everything except weapon damage\range\rate of fire, and some of the planet upgrades. Which is a bit rubbish to honest, but maybe i have just missed something horribly obvious, which is always possible

Actually, Even if you did as Maico described you still wouldn't be able to have them as a seperate ship class. That would require creating new roletypes which we can't do As it stands the best you could do is add it to the frigate factories build page

Reply to Does anyone else freeze when modding!? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Adding damage to banks that dont have emitters (What you have done in Uzii's 1st two examples) should NOT hang the game, the weapons wont work but the game should still load.

Reply to Mounting more Weapons in Sins Modding Sins Forums

The first thing to note is that the textures set up as described in the tutorial will NOT appear in 3ds Max itself, they are solely done for reference by the exporter, and as such you have to play your mod each time to see if they have worked. Though, that said.... Second is that the latest version of the exporter is imperfect for many people (Myself included), but if you follow [link="http://janvanderweg.com/SOASE/index.html"]This Link[/link] you can download v1.0 which works perfectly

Reply to Adding weapons to planets in Sins Modding Sins Forums

All my attempts (granted not very enthusiastic attempts) to add weaponry to planets failed, from what I could guess adding them as abilities doesnt work because whilst the planet is still neutral the "Enemy" and "Friendly" targetting tags don't mean anything, and additionally planets don't seem to have the "cast abilities" ai chunk attached to them so at best it would have to be done manually
