Reply to [NEW RELEASE] Volumetric Explosions&Damage Effects ver. 1.41 Entrenchment compatible in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Okay I tried two different drivers and even a different graphics card. Is thier anything else that could be the problem?

Reply to [NEW RELEASE] Volumetric Explosions&Damage Effects ver. 1.41 Entrenchment compatible in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Thanks for the replies, but I'm afraid my problem persists. I deleted the pipeline effects folder on the standard Volumetric mod and sure enough after about 10-20 minutes my computer froze again. Also, I'm not getting minidumps, my computer is freezing so that nothing, including task manager, works and I am forced to hard reset. I have standard English 64bit Vista. I guess it could be a driver issue (though it runs vanilla with no problem), I was doing all sorts of crazy things to it to get E

Well if you have room for some more convensional planet ideas... Digital/Cypernetic/Virtual - Whole planet is basically a super high tech fortress or its entirely computer generated. Could give virtually any bonus you want (damage bonus, build time decrease etc.) Mutated - High levels of radioactivity have mutated all life on this planet, covering it in strange, allien and dangerous flora and other lovely life forms.

Reply to [NEW RELEASE] Volumetric Explosions&Damage Effects ver. 1.41 Entrenchment compatible in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I apologize if this issue has already been addressed, but I'm playing sins now on a new vista 64bit computer and this mod keeps crashing my computer. No minidump, just freezes the whole computer (at seemingly random intervals, usually 15-30mins between hard resets). Vinilla entrenchment seems fine, and the only mods that have crashed have this one it it (I also tested it by itself). I also tried it on all high and all medium graphic settings. Anyone have any ideas?

Reply to New planet and star ideas in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Alot of the most basic and popular ideas are already in other mods (ocean, forest etc.), but you could always make your own versions. And 100+ planets is alot of textures to make, are you're enough of a texture editor to do it?

Reply to LRMs need a real fix in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

As a dedicated advent player, whatever you do to balance LRMs, please do not nurf the illum to much. The advent LF just sucks, they can't hold their own in combat at all (I usually build less then 10, and even when carriers were supreme it was usually better to just build more carriers than to waste money on LFs). The only thing they kill faster than the illum is carriers but their extremely low hp and armor makes it useless to have in any fleet after lvl 3 military research (unless you are u

Reply to [balance] Remove -75% build penalty on Carriers! in Strategy Sins Forums

[quote who="Deceiver_0" reply="24" id="2235022"]What if we removed the build penalty while the fighters/bombers were docked? That way they' be removing their air presence in the well for a shorter reproduction time, and allow the squadrons to fill. Does that seem like a good trade-off? Could add an interesting micro management aspect.[/quote] I would be okay with this too, if we really need to do anything with the carriers. Derek's idea would be harder to imp

Reply to [balance] Remove -75% build penalty on Carriers! in Strategy Sins Forums

For some reason I thought it was 50%, but I think the penalty needs to stay. If carriers were easier to destroy I could see reducing it, but as it is even with a good amount of LRMs and LFs it is hard to kill more than one carrier before they either start winning the battle or retreat. And now that we have starbases following them if they retreat it is probably not a good idea unless you have a significantly larger fleet. Also, though I don't use it as much any more, do

Reply to Autocast and its many uses in Strategy Sins Forums

Yes, when I'm too impatient with waiting for the stupid things to charge up. If there was an easy way to select your ready to fire superweapons it would be a different story, but against the CPU I often find myself putting it on autocast during dull moments. However, you may want to take it off for the culture cannons and Kosturas as they can give a combat boost or a quick re-enforcement route in addition to their main effect, which you might want to make sure you have avaliable in close game

Depends on the research, but I know you do lose combat upgrades. The research is automatically reapplied after you build enough replacement labs.

I guess if he had some good starbases things could be difficult but all of his planets will be easier to take vs. if he did not surrender.

[quote who="godoggo" reply="3" id="2218867"]I have it on autocast. For some reason, whenever an enemy jumps into the area, my mothership just goes to some random capital, and uses it, even though none of my capital ships had died at all or had lost any health from the enemies that had just jumped in.

Reply to Really noobish question but... in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

If you've played single player so much, surely you know the fustration of trying to completely wipe out an enemy on large match. On some maps it takes over an hour after the last fleet battle to fully finish a game, which is basically just boring baby sitting. I'm glad the AI now surrenders, though admittingly its far from perfect, and it should still get some attention in following expansions and/or patches.

Reply to Can someone explain to me how ressurection works! in Sins Modding Sins Forums

There are alot of disscussions on it in the strategy area, but basically the game saves the level of your highest lost Capital ship (anywhere in the galaxy) and reserection gives that level to the target cap ship. Your mothership doesn't need to be in gravitywell when that cap is destroyed. You cannot give that level to another capitalship (unless you lose the one that levels up), but if you lost any other caps it may give other capital ships their level (I've never been in that situation).</
