Reply to Ideas for A Complete Conversion Mod in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I'm soory, but look at all the knoledge I gained out of it (Ability wise...I hold my ground fairly well now ;) ) and am able to relieve of the painful (but pleasant) duty of passing on the knowledge to future generations! :) PS: how dare you say, our fully refurbished pool house is a dungeon, Mister I played Gears of War 2 for tens of hours non-stop and ate all the chips we had available in our food closet ;)! LOOOOOL J/K! We've all been busy...exam period (ending today....ton

If you have a strong pc...just go and change all the weapon damage from "overtime" into InstantAction making sure you set the action delay to 0! Should make a difference ;) but then again might take you HOURS to go through each entity and modify it :)

Reply to Annatars Corner!!! in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Evill...I can asure you when I test my new abilities, I test them under every circumstance, I even had a stopwatch next to me and noted the times of the abilities before and after the 'supposed' buff :(! Too bad though...cus it doesnt work well on cooldown times but then is 100% effective when you "apply on chance"! Weird how the game chances from one ability to another :)

Reply to Enabling mods problem-need help mindump issue in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Giving us the minidump helps in no way unfortunately! Its a code that only Starock/Ironclad can decipher! As for your crash issue. be aware you can only use 1 mod at a time and that currently 7DS is only compatible with Sins v.1.05! NOT thet recent 1.12! So if youre playing under v.1.12, you will AUTOMATICALLY get a minidump! (I think this is your issue)! Answer to the question is either backtrack, uninstall Sins, reinstall and only take update up to v1.05 (whi

I just changed my post! This should be way more explicit!!! If the ability is located inside one of those 4 slots...the ship WILL AUTOMATICALLY HAVE IT! (Watch out for research prereqs and level prereqs too (you can change those in the Ability entity file)!

Reply to [MOD] Urban Expansion Version 1.1 Released: Sins 1.12 - 1.17 Compatible (Updated Info July 16, 2009) in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Graveyards were awesome IM Humble Opinion...they added a bit a flavor which I greatly enjoyed! Really, I found it to be the best idea as to have at some places or another "dumped" vessels which you could retake!! For me it was the main reason why I played the mod in the first place! True they were a bit too many ships..like 30 per area which would include 10 caps, it was still hilarious and could tip the balance of the game if you were in a tight spot.

I'm about to merge with EPIC MOD (Kiedjor and I are a team ;) )! @Tomcat21: You cannot have 2 mods active at same time, but by simply adding the files you want inside your current mod, you shoudlnt have an issue. Update will be on its way fellows, have my finals tomorrow and I'm trying to revise a bit! Thank you for your patience, Justin S.

Reply to anyone up for an expansion? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

You might want to start a microsoft word page and make a list of every ship/structure you plan on modifing or creating, adding under each name the amount of hull/shield points you want it to have, abilities... Personnaly, It'll help a lot when you get down to codding PLUS it gives an incredibly strong overview of the general layout of your mod and fleet composition (easily decide what needs to be tweaked, added,etc. without having to open the game)! Hope it helped!

Reply to Spawning capital ships? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

What I'm trying to say is I seriously doubt theyre is a way to spawn a frigate based on the enemy you are fighting! If you do find one, I'll bow to you, but due to hardcodes and limitations, I doubt you can go any further then Spawn "FrigateNephilBattleFortress" (for example)! To my knoledge, their is no way to add Spawn "Targetted Ship" that would vary depending on the said target! Hope I made myself a bit clearer![e digicons]:D[/e] Justin S. &n

Reply to Spawning capital ships? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

NO!!! You can change the MatchOwnerStateDamage to TRUE and the spawned frigate will have same amount as frigate who used ability ;)! Unfortunately I dont see how you want to be able to spawn a random ship (cus lets face it..since you can copy any ship..its basically random) using Sins, very naughty and limited hardcodes![e digicons]-_-[/e] I'm sorry :( Justin S.
