Shield Transparency in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Hi, I was wondering if anyone cracked this issue yet? I was hoping to add some Star Trek style shield effects to the mod I'm working on. For illustration, this type of effect:

[quote]This is very interesting, mind telling me how you do all this? im working on a mod myself and i really want to know how to raise the chance for crit hits involving fire n the like.[/quote] I'm just trying to mod the deathblows themselves right now, using chance on death occurrences. I'll start problem solving the critical hit system when I get them done :) It'll still be awhile though I r newb @ modding ;p [quote]I for one think it's a really cool concept.

Mod help, please. in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I actually have the expansion. I had to order it off of Amazon.com. The thing is really hard to find. The expansion just seems to add more variety to the game. But yes, awesome game. P.S. freakin worms...

Explosions File Triggering in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Hi guys. I'm currently trying to use the Explosions file to try to trigger a Buff type when ships die. I can't seem to get it to work, despite toying with it for the past three hours, so I decided to see what the experienced modders think about it. :p Here's what I'm trying to do at the moment. "Frigate0" is the explosion effect for all light frigates. I would like it to apply a Buff when a unit dies; in this case it would be to create a clone of a nearby frigate. If anyone has

People seem to keep gathering from my original post that their ships will be there full health one second and then gone the next. That's not what I'm going for at all. The dominant and/or well micro'd force should always win. :d Let me clarify again, this system will be random but predictable. If you let a ship with low health get pounded on, something bad will happen. The standard death animation will still be the standard :p . What I'm trying to do, at the core, is add some variety a

Anyone have any more suggestions or problems with this concept? So far as the modding goes: I've altered code and it doesn't do what I was hoping. No crashes though. :p

I don't suppose any of you [I]good[/I] modders know how to trigger a buff using a combination of "OnChance" action type and minhulldamagepercent based off ship weapons fire? I can't seem to get 2 and 2 put together. :NOTSURE:

Don't worry, as long as you have a valid cd-key you can just download Sins off of Stardock Central. https://www.stardock.com/products/sdcentral/ I realize this doesn't fix your problem, but I assume you just want to use the software you just purchased.

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

I think from a business standpoint it makes much more sense to release incremental updates a few times a year. Knowing how long people will stay interested in a game is a total crap shoot. If the popularity of the game wanes suddenly, while an expansion is in development, a company could be left with an expansion that took a year or two to develop and no one to sell it to. I also believe players would appreciate gradual content updates as opposed to the current model of "Here's our game, cya
