Reply to Has Microsoft opened the door for Linux in Personal Computing Sins Forums

There really is only one major issue with W8: the UI...now, for the people that don't like the W8 UI, that is a huge issue, but it is the only major one....so, for the sake of argument.... Let us first assume that the W8 UI is in fact truly terrible and wrongheaded...from that we could say W7 is the best (or near best) UI for meeting the needs of most PC users (otherwise, why would W7 be so popular and acclaimed?)...logically it would seem then that Linux (since it also d

I don't have an installation to look at currently so I will do my best... The files you will need to tweak will be the titan upgrade entities (in GameInfo)...IIRC they have names like TitanUpgradeSTUFF or something like that....in each file there will be a "count" that tells the game how many levels there are (for that upgrade) and consequently how many times it needs to "search" the file for data (where each search gives it the stats for a single level)...you need to change this

Reply to MiniDump with dev exe in Sins Modding Sins Forums

The dev.exe is in the same directory as the normal .exe.... If you are talking about Rebellion, then you got it through steam and therefore will have to go through that file location to find the game....games are in steamapps (or something like that).... Anyway, technically "developer" does not appear in the files name, only "dev"....if the name of the normal .exe is "The Cat in the Hat.exe" then the dev.exe has the name "The Cat in the Hat Dev.exe".... I don't rem

Situations like these are one man's word against another's... In a 1v1 against Radioactive, I wailed his fleet...he claimed no wail was allowed and got his panties in a knot, yet I remember us saying all was fair game... Who's right? Hell, who knows...who even cares?

I think we can sum it up as follows: There was a game with house rules.... An Asshat broke the house rules... Those who aren't house-trained go on the black list...

Short answer is NO....you can't change the max level (which is 10) nor can you change the number of ability points earned per level..... HOWEVER, you do have some other options....you could set the 3 abilities and 3 upgrades (HP, DPS, and AM) to have only three levels instead of four...combined with the ultimate (which you would leave as having two levels), that would give you exactly 20 "upgrades", meaning everything could be filled... You also could do a combination of r

[quote who="Kai696" reply="44" id="3363977"]Fair enough but couldn't lowely vessels be used as those 5 as "fodder" ?[/quote] Yes, but why bother with scout ships when you can do it with corvettes or disciples? Trying to micro it so that your 5 scout ships intentionally die (while they do very little to contribute to the battle) just isn't worth the trouble when you can do the same with 5 corvettes (that actually will do decent damage and debuffing to an enemy cap or tita

Look at the Synergy ability...it has a target filter that makes use of the IsPsi thing.... If you made only the pirate faction(s) Psi (you'd have to change Advent and then synergy, not too hard) then you could do things that specifically target them... For example, you could make an AoE like armistice that only affects psi ships....or allow a player to "bribe" ships/planets, but only those that are psi... Not that you couldn't do the above with complicated buff

There's a cap on how many times the buff can be applied...IIRC correctly the cap is 5 so once more than 5 ships die in quick succession you aren't getting any more firepower bonuses...

Reply to Best Planetary Defense Setup? in Strategy Sins Forums

Biggest issue with AI is that it has resource/income cheat...this allows it to field disproportionately more anti-module ships than a human ever would... So, the key to any defense when going against the AI is having one that is good against those ships...fighters are the best for this, but you will have to micro them so that they are shooting the ogrovs or adjudicators and not flying around trying to hit bombers...

The Stars mod had an interesting way of dealing with "pirates"...I don't know exactly what he did but the mod had "pirate" factions that acted like normal players and would go out and attack you....I don't recall how they were set up but you may be interested in checking that out... I don't know what you are trying to do, but you may also consider the IsPsi Boolean in the player file...the only thing that I know of that uses it is the synergy ability on the advent beam pla

I've noticed that I can go to higher thresholds in full screen mode than I can in windowed... By that I mean I can run at faster gamespeeds (2x, 4x, etc) and with more ships (we are talking hundreds upon hundreds in combat) in full than in windowed...course, that's things done for testing, not your typical gameplay so it may not matter for most people....
