Greetings All, The main post has been updated....the first time in MANY moons. Thanks to Semaz for his hard work on that. Thanks to everyone else making Beta 6 possible. That means you Makon! Everyone, this is our most stable and best release ever in my eyes. We are very close to an official 2.5 release. Kreyson, glad to see you back! DANMAN
Hey DS Team, Just wanted to say congrats on the recent release. I haven't been on these forums in a while, and wanted to stop in and say hi, and congrats. I am also going the modular "core" route for 7DS eventually, giving players the ability to pick and choose what they want. That way, we can put more in, and not overload the engine. Figuring it all out though...that is tricky. Nice work everyone. DANMAN
Craig, Are you guys still looking? I am very interested. If you are still looking, would be easier to submit to you or Blair, or just the job email? Also, do we need to live in Canada? I guess that would be an issue. Of course, my team and I are always open to "helping or partnering" with you in any project, even the new Sins stuff. Let me know. DANMAN www.danmangames.com <
Thank you Ironwolf for your kind words. Thanks to everyone for keeping this forum churning, and for helping out with the questions and with the complaints. To Doberman: 7DS is by far the biggest mod for Sins. It is around 2GB of files, movies and such withstanding. EVERYTHING is customized, so there are a lot of files. That being said, sometimes getting 7DS can be tricky, but I tried to make it as simple ans user friend
And this is indeed the case. Sure, they DO get ideas from us, which is why they continue to support modding. I have spoken with Blair several times, and he HAS played Sins with the 7DS mod, so I know he knows what we do. He particularly likes the idea of turning the Kosukura Cannon into a ship (The Avatar) :) So, do the DEV's know what we are up to? SURE THEY DO...They watch these threads all the time, and know that we do bear some weight in wht is going
Greetings All! Wow, a lot has changed since I have been around! The site here got revamped, Ironclad/Stardock is getting ready for Rebellion, which borrows a lot of ideas from us modders, and my family has expanded by one. Yes, one of the reasons I have been gone was the creation of my latest son, Joshua. We are now a family of six. Myself, my wife, and our 4 boys. I have also been working 14+ hour days with my job, so modding from me personally has been
Greetings All, I fixed several of the reported errors in the OP post, so all traces of our old site (over a year ago now) are gone. Everything should link up to the new site. Permisions on our site are in place for a reason, to deter spammers and grant access to those who need it and earn it. If you are just a player, then you don't need to see what is going on behind the scenes, but if you are a modder, the you need to see more stuff. Just
Crion, Are you running Win7? That's the problem if you are....just keep trying. Harpo! Good to see you! It is only available on my "dog" of a website as you call it LOL! I am working on the site BTW, to make it WAY better. Anyways, you need to register man. I'll grant you immediate access for you. You have helped us so much. Here is the link for registration,
Crion87, I see we have a fellow Star Controller! Only you would know about the Orz and "Pretty Space". That is basically the idea. In the 7DS universe, the Taalo are as old as the Universe...they became sentient shortly after the Universe formed. They, and the Atlantians, are two of the oldest races in the Universe. The Orz chased them through "Pretty Space", which sounds a lot like Quasispace where the Arilou come from. If
No problem, just remember it might be a Win7 thing. On another note, I just wanted to say thank you to all the fans and followers out there, and to all the DMG members that have stuck by me all these years. ALL of you guys....ROCK. I just had to say it. Thank you so much for your fanship, and for all your hard work to those who help out and contribute to the mod. I could not have done anything without you guys. THANK YOU!
Crion, What OS are you running? If it is Win7 64bit, then that is the problem. Also, the new BETA 2 may solve your issue, so look for the announcement of the public release later on today. I also have a custom built, top of the line rig. Built it myself over time with parts I ripped from other machines and donations by friends of mine and connections I have at my job. Out of pocket I spent about $150. AMD Phenom II X6 Black Editio
Sinperium, We'll see what we can do to update the Deadly Forge. On another note. 7DS 2.5 BETA 2 has been released for premium users. The non-premium area should be updated tonight with the Beta 2 as well. So much has changed, a total download is required of the whole mod, so this is not a patch. DANMAN
Fileosoft, I cannot find you in the database at all. You were in the old site, but not the new one. Here is the link: http://www.danmangames.com/dmgadv/membership.html Please register there, and I will grant you all the permissions you need and should have had in the first place. Email me once it is done, and I wil activate it right away. Xanthos,
[quote who="Thoumsin" reply="18" id="2923440"]Well, try to include TSOP optimization in 7DS, it can only help... Or the planet model/UV that i have made 2 year ago for 7DS ( solar sins ) who will allow in the case of 7DS to spare a little more that 350mb of ram ( in the case of 7DS 2.1 )... recently, somebody else have use these planet model and make the .mesh... onscreen result is good, texture surface use are optimized at almost 100% and any texture at the ration 2/1 who can be f
Yeah, Win7 wrecks havoc on Sins, especially when running a mod like 7DS. Here are my system specs: Win 7 64 bit AMD Phenom II X6 processor - 6 cores 16gb RAM 2 HD 5770 Radeon in Crossfire. And it still dumps on me, with or without cause. So this information Thoumsin (Fileosoft) is saying must be true. The way Windows is dealing with the memory is giving us a problem. I just keep reloading Sins until it plays. So, XP, or
Greetings All, Yes, there are issues with playing 7DS if you are new to playing it. Most players who have had it for years know of the Sins limits and the HIGH max setting. So, if you go over HIGH, it will dump. If you go over 2GB used, it will dump. If you have Win 7 64bit (like me!) it will dump at random, on load, and for no reason at all. Just keep reloading it until it actually loads. Sins is broken people. And has its limits. 7
You're welcome. Ok, for donating members (or people who worked on the mod, and donated their time, skills, etc.) the download is ready and up in the Premium Download Area of the DMG website. Just go to www.danmangames.com and log in, then go the PDA section and you will see the mod as the last download option. The Free Member Area is being uploaded right now, but takes longer since it is broken down into sections since it
Greetings All! Yes, BETA 1 of 7DS 2.5 is coming out today. The TCA got a secret ship I have been working on. It has no abilities yet, and I am still working on it. But I threw it out there as a little bonus for people waiting this long. It is the Athena. Basically, a huge, big, mobile gun. Not a Titan yet, it needs to be resized. About the size of the Kol Beta. Maybe smaller. We will but out updated Beta's as
Membership is free OriLord. Modding costs money, lots of it. And we don't make a dime on this stuff. We don't work for IC, hence we are not on their payroll. Given the thousands of hours we put in to this, we should get something, but the only payment we do get is gratitude. The donations help cost the server costs, which go up to about $150 a month sometimes. Plus, new software, versions, professionals, etc., it all
