The Goggle code shutdown is indeed very sad. However, I'm not sure if there's any feasible way to export that data somewhere else. The raw information is there in his Eclipse plugin, but alas the formatting is the real challenge.

[quote who="AKenny47" reply="343" id="3600944"] Sorry to ask such a banal question, but has anyone got a link to a functioning bin conversion tool for the current sins version's entity files? All of the old links I found seem to be either out of date or broken. All I want to do is make a few edits here and there, both to the core game and to the E4X/interregnum mod. Speaking of which, how is the mod progressing? Will there be

This ability useCostType is currently hard coded to require 50 fleet supply and 1 command point.

Anyone know exactly how to format the various actions/events that require a specific entity ( ADD_X_XP_TO_TARGET_UNIT_A, ON_ENTITY_A_DEATH)?

I was involved in almost everything else done for Rebellion (mostly design but some coding as well) so it is relatively easier for me to adjust or make changes for everything but triggers. They will take more time as I will have to educate myself on how they work (from a code perspective). [/quote] I certainly understand, trying to figure out how a feature works (or was

The destination planet's node was built previously; only that node was finished being built while I gave the order to travel there.

Then I ordered the fleet to travel again after the source node was finished but they still ignored it. Is there a '

Oh, I'm sure there's plenty that could use some more artists. We have some stickies on general process for modeling for Sins. Basically as long as you have a way to get your work into .XSI format, you can get it in game. Best way might just be to play some mods, find one you like and ask if they need a modeler.

Well, you can only add real weapons by research or starbase upgrade level. So if these things can give research, that would be a way. However, I'm not sure how they actually work; I assume they do not in fact do that though, because I know of no way to make a ship in game give access to a research subject. [e digicons];)[/e]

Reply to Why are there more habital planets per star on galactic civilizations 2 ultimate than there is in galactic civilizations 3 in GalCiv III Future Ideas Sins Forums

You're in the Sins of a Solar Empire forum board. You are browsing it from the Galactic Civilizations site, but all Stardock published games share a single forum database. So you basically posted a thread about Galactic Civilizations on a forum board for the game Sins of a Solar Empire. So this is probably not your intended audience. :p So you need to go to the Gal Civ III forum and post there.

Reply to Starbase ability to spawn ships? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Yeah, Starbases, Capitalships and Titans need the 5th ability slot for the purchase ability/upgrade feature. You cannot place an active ability in that slot, because the button to purchase those things will always take precedence, hence you couldn't ever actually press the ability button. Passives can be snuck on there, but the player won't be able to see it from the UI. [quote who="NewHorizons" reply="12" id="3592433"] Probably explains why I haven't seen AbilityELev

Can you post the Starbase entity file? I don't see anything immediately wrong with the ablility either (though I like to always give a max fleet size of +1 more than the min, but that might just me being paranoid). I have several abilities that spawn frigates from Starbases, though mine are probably more complicated than you need. It's been a while since I've spawned ships directly from the ability file lol.
