[quote who="furzball" reply="4" id="2560171"]ah, alright. Well, I came up with two ideas in the meantime.

Did you use newboergs tool and was it a bin or txt mesh? if it was a bin then that is the reason as it can only convert txt meshes (converted the same way as entity files).

Fron where did you get the entity files that you edit? if it is from the reference folder in forgetools 3 then they are so old that they could be called ancient, and you will need some newer ones.

Here is a list with all the "buff types" or enum values in buffs as they are called by the game: https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/366795 The research modifier can't be used in buffs only research. The only thing I can think of is one of the buff over time which makes resources, but you can't make it only make metal or crystal.

Glad to hear that ^^ About the particle forge, that is because it can't find the textures (aka pictures which it will add on the squares). Either copy the textures and animated textures folder to the folder with the tool or copy the particle forge to your install folder.

What have you set as the creationSourceAbility to in the StarBase entity? I think that Have to be either the Ability OR the name of the file (so in this case the buff) that contains the CreateStarBase instant action. Btw, it might be funny for one ability, but try to imagine roughly 100 each acting this way QQ

Reply to making a race start at a uncolonized planet in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I guess that means that it will be for the first player (no mather which race) from your answer and my little past experience of galaxyforge. This means that if you choose to play as any of the other races, then it will give them a disadvantage. Seems like I have to edit their ideals instead of all of the maps :/

1. there isn't a constraint, but there is a finsh condition which will end the buff if the entity takes damage. If it is an ability which targets another ship thenuse the ApplyTargetedBuffToSelf in the ability and then make the buff have an instant action with ApplyBuffToTargetNoFilterNoRange and a trigger whit a delay of 1+ then two finish conditions, AllOnDelayInstantActionsDone and OnDamageTaken. 2. There are two things, first make sure that the particleforge.exe is

Could you go in more detail, I have mostly only touched abilities and ships, but as long as it is a "planet" type with no population. I have found a solution to the technical problem I had before, but having the spawn their mothership/star base at a planet with inhabitants would kind of go against their ideal/agenda.

the easiest way is to copy the gameInfo folder to the modfolder of the version you wish to convert and then use harpoes utility: https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/353296 download the one with diplomacy.
