Reply to [MOD] Coming Soon: An offer you can't refuse, the Friendly Universe Mod in Sins Modding Sins Forums

IMPORTANT UPDATE: The mod has finally been published! (yay) Just go here to get it! Another important note: upon further testing I received errors because I didn't include every file in GameInfo (I think). If you get errors, try copying the unchanged files from your current GameInfo folder into the /mods/friendly universe mod/gameinfo folder. I apologize for the inconvenience, but this problem didn't appe

mr_cyberpunk: all of the mission parameters are located in the GameInfo folder, and all start with Quest-something. antracer: No, I hadn't actually thought about that. I'm not 100% sure that I totally understand what you mean about positive missions. But hey, sounds like a good idea to me, and that's what v 0.2 will be for :D

[MOD] Coming Soon: An offer you can't refuse, the Friendly Universe Mod in Sins Modding Sins Forums

"Why can't we all just get along?" These words were more or less the inspiration behind this mod. I started a new FFA game, myself and 2 normal AIs (unlocked teams) and tried to win the game exclusively through diplomacy. Apart from the a few scout ships and one colony-class capital ship, I had no army. I conducted no military research, just colonized several neutral planets and researched my way through the civ tree. Essentially, I was Switzerland :) At any

Ah, thank you both. To see if I could get the "Kill 1000 frigates" achievement, I edited the cost and construction speed of light frigates to almost nothing/instantaneous (respectively) and picked 4 aggressive AIs on the hard setting. Yes, instead of, say, 5 light frigates they had more like 15-20, but they still built the usual variety of ships. Not to mention the part where, yes, they did assemble a MASSIVE combined fleet one planet away from my homeworld, but all they did was sit t

A slight addendum to Uzii's post a bit farther up: my text editor of choice is Notepad++ which also has a handy plugin that lets you compare files side by side, with highlighted lines where something has changed. I was causing the game to crash with an edited CapitalShip_PSIBattleship.entity file, and I had no idea why. I compared my version to the original and had to change things back line-by-line, which did suck but without the compare feature it wou

Modding the AI / Planet and ship name list in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Two questions: Is there a way to edit the AI scripting? For example, if I wanted to make an AI behavior type where they built exclusively frigates, or buy lots from the black market, or (har har) send you lots of credits (:)) etc? Secondly, where is the default list of planet/ship names? And is it editable? For example, I'd love to add in some extra names (Coruscant, Yavin IV, etc) for planets, and other ship titles. That way, I wouldn't have to spend time indiv
