Reply to [MOD] Unofficial Gfx Patch (currently v1.5.05) in Sins Modding Sins Forums

AHHHH! I thought Stardock fixed the Eradica hole in 1.1! Along with the tech siege frig issue (From trinity TSOP). Damn! guess i better check ALL of the meshes again. The problem with the tec siege frig was one of the bomb nulls was missing. So i made a new one using the existing null, and mirrored the coordinates in the mesh file. If you have TSOP 0.7, or 0.8 the siege frig mesh is fixed in those versions. The Marza, and Vasari scout capital were completely missing bomb nulls, but th

Good Job! You found stuff that we missed in TSOP:R. Plus i wanted to re-incorporate the old trinity planets too, but didn't get around to it yet. Would you mind if i incorporated this into the next build of TSOP? You get full credit of course.

Glad you are enjoying it. You are playing SoA 2 just as SoA 2 was meant to be played. With Help. You need to make allies. Especially if you are an inexperienced player. Since the Borg are intentionally designed to be OP vs a single faction. While it is possible to defeat the Borg solo. It is very difficult to do. Especially if the Borg are fully teched up. By design if you turtle, and let the Borg max out their research then it is game over for all of the factions. Maxed out Bor

Outstanding! That saves me one big headache. The UI "window" files, and brushes should not have changed. The files haven't changed since Original Sins AFAIK. Except for additions for Entrenchment, and Diplomacy, but the formats themselves haven't changed. Link me to the working build, and ill try to port Fist0's UI over. Ill probably have to "beyond compare" the brush files, and look for what if anything that Rebellion changed. When i did TSOP for Rebellion i didn't se

Reply to [SotF] Fall of Kobol (The only Battlestar Galactica Mod) in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I agree totally. If you think the show is absurd then you ignore it. Like most Original BSG fans Dismiss, Ignore, and consider Galactia 1980 as non canon. I feel the same way about Star Trek Voyager, and Enterprise. Yet i used "some" canon ships from both shows to fill in gaps like the siege frigs, and trade ships, because from my point of view you can use a canon ships from bad shows, but use them for a different role than what was seen on screen. As long as it makes sense. then it is doable

Blood, and Chrome may not be that great of a show, but it has a ton of canon material you can use. Like the Orion class battlestar, and the Hybrid Cylon basestar that is a mix of the old and the Guardian base ship. Like with SoA 2 i use what is canon (and makes sense) first before resorting to fan art.

I may be "Retired", but i ain't DEAD ;) I am trying to see what i can do (If anything) to get this ported over to Rebellion. Even if it means building it from scratch again just like we did for Entrenchment, and Diplomacy. I'm gonna build a basic working foundation without the abilities, and researches, and add them one at a time using the 1.1 reference files. I make no promises. Just gonna see what i can do.

Reply to Sword of the stars 2 - are you playing it? in PC Gaming Sins Forums

As time goes on, and i get used to the mechanic i can probably grow to like the mission system, but "right now" it is quite a challenge. Especially coming from SoTS 1. The learning curve is very steep. That in itself can turn new players off. I still stand by what i say that SoTS 2 is "Advanced 4X". First time 4X players are going to be overwhelmed by the games complexity. Saying that you don't have the patience to give it a chance is wrong. It shouldn't take 1000+ hours of th

Reply to Will there be a Sins 2? in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

We are kind of jumping the gun a bit. I would give it a few years before looking for a Sins 2. By that time better hardware should be available. Plus windows 8 should ether have all its kinks ironed out, or is replaced by Windows 9 (whichever comes 1st) Ironclad still has to finish Sins of a Dark Age, and probably do their next big thing as well.

Reply to Will there be a Sins 2? in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Like visible achievements for defeating this "Unknown Enemy" that buff your faction. Kinda like kill marks on a fighter. Sounds good. I think the goal is to add on to Sins without over doing it, or going way over the top. Sword of the Stars 2 is the shining example of over doing, and over complicating things that we need to avoid at all costs. SoTS 2 is the extreme opposite of Sins. It has a lot more, and very complex 4X, but very little tactical gameplay. It is the Little thi

Reply to Will there be a Sins 2? in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

It needs a lot more 4X, and a little more Tactical Gameplay. If Sins was to take anything from Homeworld i would take from Homeworld 1. Not from Homeworld 2. I would take Homeworld 1's Tactics, Formations, and 3D movement. Add rotating turrets, ship animations, and firing arcs that were specific, and not general 180 degree arcs. I would make Shields, and Armor weaker in the rear of ships to utilize those features. I would NOT add any subsystems or hardpoints. That would over complicate a

My Dropbox is suspended already for too many downloads. I am able to upload to dropbox, but that is about it. Every other file sharing site i try ether resets, or the file is corrupt. Its the crappy internet i have that cuts me off every 5 minutes. So if anyone can mirror it to a GOOD file sharing site i would greatly appreciate it. The 4X mod should be compatible, I don't see why not, because the 4X mod doesn't alter any graphics that i am aware of. I would NOT run TS
