Also included the shields for the planets, did that last night before sig

Reply to Petition for Cloak (Discusion) in Sins Modding Sins Forums

But i want to test it before saying anything. :) Haha, if this works i will fall off my horse, and i dont even have a horse. :) Will let you know what happens though, okie? :) -Teal

It's the ship effects that remian....we still see the ship (even if he is phased out) [/quote] Justin, if you can make a ship invisible, with only the ship effects remaining? Then let me know how you did it, please. If it is the engine and weapon effects you are referring to as still "visible" then those particle effects which are us

list with ships, okie dokie, let me write it up and send it along. :) -Teal as a sidenote, if you go to c:\appdata\local\ironclad\sinsofasolarempire\mods\firefall2.1\ You will see the folders used for the mod. One of them is the GameInfo folder. If you open that folder you will find the capitals and the frigates entity files used for the ships for all the races. They are listed as CapitalShip_Phase_...

[quote who="dresda" reply="14" id="2158949"]am i supposed do enable all of these folders for the mod to work? i don't see the other playable factions that are in game info folder[/quote] Just pick a map and choose a race, the map size tells how many races you can have, 2 or 3 or whatever. The beta that is up now has some star problems, i have it fixed now, the meshes were messed up, mangled is a good word i suppose. Copied fresh ones in and re-sized them and now it looks very go

:) Thanks to TohKlidan, Mooster and Calienon!!! I think we've got it!! The flickering and image breakup went away. I kept adjusting the values up (with the thought they would increase as a result of re-sizing them up) and got to a point where the flickering and the image breakup disappeared. I also am playing on a re-sized map, to keep the planets from being inside the corona field of the star, and some were actually inside the body of the star :( Oh my!!!&nbsp

[quote who="calienon" reply="3" id="2158837"]Great! I'll definitely try out the huge planets. I actually just downloaded your current one from another thread of yours about 30 mins ago, but haven't loaded it up yet. I'll need to make a non-entrenchment shortcut after all [/quote] Careful with the current one, it has the flicker and the image breakup as well as the planets embedded in the stars on normal maps. You can make your own new maps or re-do and re-name curren

Calienon, Those values that you listed are it i think, TohKlidan and Mooster made some suggestions along the same lines, but yes, it was perfect. I think the flicker and image breakup is gone now. So i am very happy!! :) Anyway, if you want some Huge Planets to experiment with, i will be uploading the HP 0.2 Beta Test tonight to FileFront and you can download it and let

Reply to Is there a way to increase the zoom out range for planets and stars? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

[quote who="TohKlidan" reply="5" id="2157813"] however, i was under the impression that the resize program changes those values when it re-calculates the new size? yes the resize programm adjust this values, too. But you have to be shure that your radius changes in the entity files are bigger than the boundingradius. Have you tried the testmod and what do you think? not so far but iam home again now and after my son is in bed I hope i have some time.[/quote]</p

Is there a Min and Max Visibility Range for Planets and Stars and Where Can I Find It? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

hi, i'm working on a planet and star re-size mod, (re-sizing standard planets, not CyberD's or DireSaint's or Uzii's) and have re-sized the planets about 20 times larger than normal, and am now getting what i can only discribe as image breakup when i zoom in or out. At max in the image is very stable and fine, and at max out it is usually an icon, again very stable and fine. But in the zooming in and out i reach distances where th

Reply to Naming convention for Nulls ?? -- Help please in Sins Modding Sins Forums

First off i should say i am not a modeller, so null points i know about as much as carbuerator valves (nothing). But with regards to "How" they are adding the trade booms to the Tec Starbase? I believe they are layering the starbase, in the same way they layer the planets, using callouts for each different mesh that is added for the overall image. I could be wrong, and haven't verified this with any of the modders or the devs, but that is my guess from seeing how the planets a

:) no problem, :) i'm up to my elbows in this and trying the entity files as well as the maps, had some success with the re-sizing of the maps last night, the faricon came back as well as the jump behavior getting back to normal. Still have the star image breakup, and will check the bounding radius in the mesh file as you mentioned, however, i was under the impression that the resize program changes those values when it re-calculates the new size?
