:) Those were good days!! I had a monk too, it was very very cool!! Havent played in about a year, but it was awesome!! I just thought if we had a screen you know, like the research screens, with the abilities added, or a drop down list for the slots on the ships, we could add what abilities we want for each ship or have default with no selection and more abilities, it could shake up the game, you know? :) Just another thought, haha, Good to hea

Reply to What Would People Think of Adding Abilities to Ships Like In GuildWars? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Manually of course this might be done right now with a mod, by making "versions" of ships and then calling them from different frigate and capitalship factories. I havent attempted "versions" of factories yet, but i know you can certainly make versions of ships and name them slightly different so as to get different setups on ships. But this approach lacks the range and gracefulness a drop in screen would have. But an actual gui screen with available abilities, a portrait of t

What Would People Think of Adding Abilities to Ships Like In GuildWars? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

In another thread there was a discussion of abilities, and one of the posters mentioned adding abilities, which led me to think about Guild Wars. Im posting what i posted there and thought i would ask what other people think of the idea? re: >> What I'd really like to see is for cap ships to become like starbases, in that there are vastly more upgrades than there are points to spend them on. I realize that this i

Reply to A question of balance - Capital Ship abilities. in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Just a thought on what traunkanshaku said above with more abilities than slots available. In Guild Wars, only a handful of hundreds of abilities can be selected for any one "mission", but once done, those can be changed out to any other set of 8 that the player wants. It would be nice to see hundreds more abilities available, and have the player choose those and slot them into their ships before a game, then start the game and play them. It would add greater variety and difference, an

distorting grav well sizes or planet sizes will also change the jump behaviour. i believe also in the planet entity the jump distance can be reset to other values so that the jump point is then moved inside the grav well. :) -Teal

p.s. i dont think the ref data is "officially" released yet, probably with the next forgetools release. -Teal

Reply to Speed Mod in Sins Modding Sins Forums

1.02 ref data can be converted from the binary in the main folder, just copy the main gameinfo folder over somewhere to work on it, like my documents, and then used dakronic's gui tool, which pulls the convertdata_entrenchment file to drop into a destination folder. Please check some of the files, typically asteroids and some other files have not converted to text properly, i dont know why, perhaps they need convertdata (standard) also, as entrenchment only pulls a portion of the gameinfo fil

Reply to Where can i find this mod? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

these values are in the gameinfo folder in the research entity files for the maxcapships and maxshipslots files, it will start out at a base level, usually zero, then increase to 1 and a bit later to 3 to max out at 16 over the course of the game. If you increase these base or number added per level, then you can increase it to whatever you like. Please be aware however if you put literally hundreds or thousands of ships into a game the game speed will drop as it tries to draw and re-

Reply to Does Anyone know of a way to resize Effects? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Ahhhh... thank you Jason, appreciate it. Its a new area to me, i was thinking if i couldnt get the planets much larger than 10 times, that i could shrink the ships and buildings and effects to balance it. Actually shrinking them stopped when i could do the meshes, but didnt know how to appropriately re-size the effects. I will give this a try and let you know. Thanks again, take care, -Teal

Ahhhh.... okie dokie, thank you for the tip. I tried converting to text with the other files in the gameinfo folder, but it didnt convert, i guess i will have to do a one on one and see if that works. Thanks for the help. Take care, -Teal p.s still working when i can on HP mod, and had another idea for a new one after that, but it will have to wait, still trying to get HP up and running. :)

Does Anyone know of a way to resize Effects? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Hi, I am re-sizing some ships and planets and stars for a mod i am working on, and ran into a problem. If i re-size much beyond what might seem reasonable, like say above 10 times, or below 10 times, the effects do not match the ships of course. My question is, is there a way to re-size these effects, like beam weapons, or missiles, or ability effects that were sized for the normal sized ships to something which

So I redifine them I (and maybe many others) have an image about cloaking from games (starcraft,c&c) and movies (stargate,statrek) how should it works. I think becouse there are limits of sins, right now, no one can make ships/buildings actually cloaked! 1. _LOGO ISSUE_ cloak conception

Mooster, As to your idea of a Group Sync, im not quite sure how to do that. Right now everything is on FileFront, on my own account. Maybe in the future a team account would be a good thing to consider. But to be honest my little mods are still one person coding mods. Teams seem to me to be better suited to large projects that are parcelled out into sections with different team members d

Recently my real life has gotten very crazy. Would prefer not to go into that, but i have to put everything on hold, until life gets calm again. Nothing can get updated if i cant work on it, and right now, at least for awhile it seems, i wont be able to do that. I probably wont be on the computer for awhile, and the problems ive been trying to work through for HP, StarFall and FireFall as well as the merger for Entrenchment and the other mods will have to sit, until i do.
