Yes, sorry, should have made myself clear on that. Perhaps I should decide on the official terms? Anyways I have two sets of my own modded files; V1 for the files with 115+ entries, and V2 for the ones with >115 files. When I have the V2 files in the GameInfo folder, the game boots up perfectly. I was able to hear two of the songs in the 'Upbeat' category. I was so proud =) However, I suppose the naming conventions, as well as the emotion levels serve as factors that inhibit ra

Well, I rid the directory of the GalaxyScenarioDef file, and the error doesn't pop up any more. I'm going to play around with the amount of music in the files. With under 115, it works so far, and it seems to be playing even with parsing errors. -Edit- This is the message I get when running my fully modded files: Assert @ c:\gs\gamma\03\CodeSource\Engine/DataStructures/FixedVector.h(155) m_CurrentSize C:\gs isn't a directory.

*Sigh* Only 115? I had a total of 132. It won't be too hard if the Stargate guys ask me to help them out audio-wise, as really the total amount of tracks should be around 60, but this kinda sucks. Ah well. I'll re-edit the files. Here's the thing, I get the GalaxyScenarioDef file error when running it with base game files, but Sins doesn't crash. I have only modded SoundData and Game out of the GameInfo Folder. I've got no clue as to why this would be a side effect.

Wait, a .Galaxy or a .GalaxyScenarioDef file? Why should I eradicate them, anyways? I'll try adding entries a couple at a time, see if that works. But even if the amount of entries I have in the sounddata files is obscenely large, why would it cause other files to go missing or fail?

Reply to Need advice on video card for PCI-E bus in Technical Sins Forums

Nononono... 400 watts for an 8800 is a death wish. You'll be skating on ridiculously thin ice plugging it in, much less turning it on. I'd recommend something over 530 watts to preserve the integrity of other components. If you're going to get the 4850s, you may as well wait a little while and get the even better 4870s. But if you have the cash, go ahead. Just be warned, if you see a 8800GTS 320 or 640, avoid them at all costs. They're based on an older, slower, core.

I don't think all of you know that I've been coming up with an audio mod for Sins, mainly because I was very vague. So: Presenting AudioSINS, a project dedicated adding more music to this epic game. I'm following the instructions given to me by Kryo here: https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/313394 Currently, the mod is in Pre/Alpha stages, with our first 'release' on 7/7/2008.

Reply to TEC Balance... in Sins Modding Sins Forums

erm, Mute SFX? Here's the thing, a full autocannon arsenal would SEVERELY limit TEC's power. They need lasers and other high-tech weapons to stay in the game. A point of uniqueness would be the type of tech they get. Here's what I equate it to: Indians - Tomahawks, melee weapons British - Muskets, long-range (at the time) weapons. Both really dangerous, but the reason for developing weapons system that was is because of their origins: The Br

Hmm, well we could just rename the Civilian slots to Military, and turn the Military slots to "defense" slots. We have the Civ slots infinite (for buildings such as the War Factory/Shipyard and Tech Building/Military Labs), while the defense is limited. Not sure if this is possible, but it could work. Another thing: we don't necessarily have to turn it into a base-building game; we could just show how the UN and possibly Nod had to evacuate the Earth because the Earth was quickly being

Reply to TEC Balance... in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Well, there should be a few specialized ships. I think they tried to inject a little uniqueness into the TEC, when they included the robotics cruiser, but I find that underpowered, and therefore, useless. I do agree with adding some more tech, but instead of more levels of tech (giving them more than the other two races), let them advance faster with fewer levels of research. As the above said best: "Research can be a hairy beast to deal with." Doing just in the way of

I realized that there's minute amounts of source material pertaining to space, but we should try to use our prior knowledge about these 2 (or 3) factions to build ourselves the new ships. If we want to turn GDI 100% evil, we'll slap a huge laser and a couple windows onto a planet and start waiting 5 hours for it to move across the gravity wells =) Another thought, we could take textures or maybe frames of the already existing vehicles on the ground, and visually modify them to

Eh, the guys at CCP are nice, but they're not as laid-back as google. I don't think they'll mind, enless you start selling the models and everything.
