Reply to What Determines the Sequence of Pictures For the Races in Player Setup? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

The last line (e.g. playerPictureGroupName "PlayerPhase") in each Player enity file points to a playerPicture file (e.g. PlayerPhase.playerPictures) These are similiar to the brush files. I think the only problem is that you just need the same amount of pictures for each race. I hope this helped cause i only added one new picture for each existing race in my mod. *EDIT* i forgot to say: the playerpicture files are i

So its time for an update again. I finally got the pulsar and the blackhole to work under entrenchment. Version 0.8 is Entrenchment only, cause for the next version (which will be for vanilla too) I still have to change the buffs and abilities. As i want to make some new researches that reduce the effects from pulsars and blackholes. And so I just want to downgrade the stuff once. Everyone who tried to work with researches and abilities may know this is the most difficult task

What do you mean by "full" buff ?? There has to be a way to use DoDamage, as i looked through the files and the Unstable Gas Ability of Gas Gaints uses also DoDamage in BuffUnstableGasDeathDamage. Also i downloaded jizz sins editor 1.02, i still worked with 1.01 without the possible values feature. I hope this makes it easier to edit the files.
