I'm glad to hear you figured it out. BTW, Harpo has the entire Sins reference files pre-converted and ready for download here ( Reference Files ).

Will do. I will sit down on my old PC and perform the installation and capture the screen prints along the way and then PM you.
Finally home frome work... I didn't have the heart to remove any abilities from the Halcyon. So I removed Taunt from the Radiance and added the base AbilityIncendiaryShells as the second ability and added the three weapon types used by the battleship. I can report it worked fine. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5790092/IncendiaryShells.7z <img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5790092/Temp/IncendiaryShells.png" alt="
[quote who="DareArkin" reply="15" id="2645617"]I don't even know what eclipse or ant are... [/quote] I understand. I have 15 years of professional software development experience and have been exposed to many tools. In this case both Eclipse and Ant are free tools that can help aid in Mod development. Eclipse put simply is a IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that is useful due to it's built in editor and project management abilities and search functions (<a href="h
Do you have any experience with Eclipse or Ant? I have a tool that validates entity files visually with Eclipse and command line with Ant. Short of that you can look at the syntax definitions I have defined to see what the structue looks like and what values are allowed.
It's actually simpler than that. The second weapon definition should proceed the first m_weaponIndexForRange line. This marks the end of the weapon defs and should not be repeated. I.e. from m_weaponIndexForRange on it is global to the entire entity.

[quote who="Syneptus" reply="13" id="2644192"]Are you using Entrenchment? I have discovered that removing the gameinfo causes crashes when you play on Vanilla with it. As for the 8x speed, there are glitches with the game not handling particles correctly at high speeds, and you probably WAY overloaded your game, not your computer. [/quote] Yes, entrenchment and no modifications to the mod. Interesting point on the 8x speed. I usually run at that speed if I am testing.<
I realize this is not for the faint of heart, but I have a alpha version of the Eclipse editor tool available. It supports basic entity level validation support by the Ant build tools. I will be updating the ant build tools to reflect the current changes to the Entity validation process incorporated into the Eclipse Plugin. It would be nice to turn this into a community project for any developers out there if interested. Many things could be added such as Wizards, content assist, etc.
I put it at 8x speed and had several mini-dumps after applying only this mod... And other times it ran fine to completion of the game. I'm not really sure why.
Sins is limited to a max of three weapons per entity. The actual line that targets fighters is: CanFireAtFighter TRUE 1) To start with a capital ship only having two weapons, copy the Weapon and sub WeaponEffects from the AntiFighter frigate to the selected capital ship. 2) Increase the number of weapons

Hi, I would like permission to include some of your particle effects from your total effect mod into the mod I am working on (credits listed of course). Also, I have need for custom effects to differentiate my mod from the core game. Currently I would like to have weapon effects for biological based weapons such as an Bio Acid Stream (functions like a laser). Bio Plasma, and Bile launched weapons. I would really appreciate and look forward to including your work as part of the mo
Also, your Kharma is still listed in detail atleast, you just have a count of zero unfortunately.
I was trolling around on the search engines and came across a free hosting site for code control ( http://codesion.com ). I have already setup one of the free accounts and exposed it using 'Subversion' services which easily integrated with Eclipse. I am experienced with CVS and found Subversion so far to be a much simpler to work with and setup. I'm a also big proponent of using advanced editors and source code control tools (<a href="https://forum
Syneptus, I tried your mod out on my comp and worked ok (no perf issues on small maps atleast). I did get a few mini-dumps occasionally.

Can you upload the ability and buff file you are using. A capital ship ability needs to be modified slightly to work on frigates. Mainly the level source type needs to be changed. For example capital ships use: maxNumLevels 3 levelSourceType "Intrinsic" minExperienceLevelRequired Level:0 0.000000 Level:1 2.000000 Level:2 4.000000 While you might try this for a researched ability on a frigate: <
I'm sensing a clenched jaw moment coming very soon.
For a mod I am working on.

It is possible to decrease the cost of non-ultimates which can be used as a work around to your question. buffEntityModifierType "AntimatterCostOfNonUltimates"
Well, I did buy it for family so hopefully I can get them online soon.
Check reply #87. You even have a GPG developer commenting. I wouldn't get too worried.
