[quote who="Annatar11" reply="9" id="2087527"]The ability targets any ship in the grav well, and it applies the BuffPulsarRadiation to the ship, right? [/quote] jepp thats correct. [quote who="Annatar11" reply="9" id="2087527"]So then, you have a PeriodicAction that applies a second buff to targets in radius, but I don't think it's radius from star anymore, it's radius from every ship that got affected by the first buff.[/quote] ok that sounds logical.

I used "ApplyBuffToTargetsAtOrbitBody" in the ability as you can see but i never tried it in BuffPulsarRadiation. My intention was that the SolarCloaking works on all ships in the graviti well and the Radiation Damage occurs only if a ship comes too close to the stars surface. that is why i used ApplyBuffToTargetsInRadius. But i will try what you said, this evening. thanks again!

Yes it crashes when i the ship reaches the star. I made a lot try and error tests now and I figured out that in the red marked part (see below) is somewhere the problem. if i romvoe it and set the periodic action to 0 again it crashes not.

Ok i checked it user settings showErrors is TRUE. I think the dev exe did it cause I haven't changed the value by hand. Thx Annatar, but the problem is still there.

What can I do if a minidump and crash comes before any error message? [e digicons]:([/e] The whole story: I have begun testing my custom abilities and buffs. I made a solar radiation ability for a pulsar star. So if i enter the stars gravity well with a ship the game crashes but not error dialog pops up before. Also the log file in the debug folder gives no clue it seams also that it is not completly written, cause the last two

you can it convert with the same ConvertData exe that is used for the entity files. And then these files are easily edited with a texteditor.

If both ways work, than everyone can choose which way is the best for himself. I wrote down a note for the next vanilla release. So its time to get the pulsar and the black hole to work in entrenchment. [e digicons]:borg:[/e]

A dyson sphere hmm [e digicons]:rolleyes:[/e] , not till now. Wasn't there a mod that already has one?? The problem is if you want it to be like in Star Trek Next Gen than you will see in Sins only a metal ball in space, which is in my opinon not spectacular. If you want to do it like in the original definition than not only the star is included but also some planets. I think a way to get this effect is to make a new SkyboxBackdrop texture that looks li

Now you can download the mod also for Sins 1.15. Link is in the first post. Here are two known issues that happen in the vanilla version: - the main hud menu background is messed up since i used the same texture as for the entrenchment version - only the custom scenarios appear in the map menu, but i haven't found out what the

not so far, but i am working right now on a downgraded version for vanilla sins. if the tests i currently doing are successful i can release it today.

Reply to [QUESTION] Star + Planet Questions & Answers in Sins Modding Sins Forums

1, this is done in the mesh files, i resized them with softimage there is a free version for modders aviable. 2, this is done in the planet entity files. there are 2 values one is called movement radius the second is called hyperspaceradius or something like that. 3, the unweighted stuff is truly random and the weighted stuff is that some planets appear more often than other. you can see the chance by opening the galaxyscenariodef with an editor.</

Reply to [Solution]Galaxy Forge Maps not appearing in entrenchment in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Here my solution, if you have scanario maps for your mod: add in your mod folder an "Galaxy" folder and add your maps to the galaxy.manifest. Don't forget to change the number of maps on the top! I think if you add the galaxy files the normal entrenchement galaxy folder or the vanilla galaxy folder they also should work. But I haven't tested it yet. If you put them in t

your problem is that star and planet enties differ at various parameters. the easier way is to use a the volcanic planet entity (copy and rename it as you like) and just change the meshinfo part for the appearance. you just need to copy the meshname from your star enitity and adjust these parameter: typeNameStringID,hudIcon,smallHudIcon,infoCardIcon,mainViewIcon,undetectedMainViewIcon,picture here an example like i made it with my compani
