Ok, another little update from me. The Borg have gone from being a nice strength - not powerful to the point of pointlessness, not weak to the point of stupidity - to a stage where they're just ridiculously overpowered. In my current game, they assimilated 3 capital ships, 2 Phaser Platforms and a fully upgraded, fully defended starbase. There's no point playing against them when they're like that - they jsut suck the fun out of it. At least reduce the assimilation of

Having just been playing through, I noticed that you've removed the Federation's only real defence against the Borg - the previous version of the Deliverance Engine. That was the only way to stop the Borg from completely owning them.

Reply to Pirate Textures? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Ah, it's alright - I had to convert the mesh file (it was from another mod). No matter what I try, though, it just won't accept the mod. So I've decided to give up - the pirates will have to remain naff for the time being. Thanks for all your help, though.

I couldn't read that in the Mesh files on here because they're all in binary, unfortunately. Thanks, though - I can now move forwards :-)

Pirate Textures? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I wish to swap out the pirate ships for new models, but when replacing the files (Frigate_PirateHeavy is replaced by another ship with the same "name") I can't seem to locate which files need to be replaced for their textures. This is severely hampering my efforts, as without knowing which files need replacing, it's impossible to get the ships ingame without them having a nice weeny texture of a different ship over them. Is there a list of what ships use what meshes and textures?

[quote who="Carbon016" reply="39" id="2714238"] 2. Have gotten very little support from the actual game's community, modding or otherwise: most of our fanbase comes from people that were interested in the setting instead. This has not only limited our tester pool because not all of our fanbase actually has the game, but also constricted our team size substantially, meaning it's easier for us to get burnt out on stuff with nobody to take over. I know from experience, as I

Custom Mod GameInfo Error [SOLVED] in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I'm piecing together a mod of my own using bits and pieces from various other mods. However, due to my limited coding skills, I'm using the new files under the file names of the original files (CapitalShip_TechBattleship, for example). I've got them all in game, and that's fine. However, I wish to change their weapons and abilities, but whenever I place a '.entity' file (specifically CAPITALSHIP_TECHBATTLESHIP, etc) in the GameInfo folder, it causes the game to MiniDump before I've even start

I've also tried adding the relevant files from the 'Window' into an identical folder within 'Portraits'. Still no luck. So your mod named 'Portraits' looked like this? You really shouldn't need a Window directory if the texture file name does not change. Also

Custom Portrait Addition - Help Needed in Sins Modding Sins Forums

So I finally decided to swap out the default player portraits for Mass Effect ones. After adding them (rather crudely due to limited software) painstakingly, I've finally finished. However, in order to keep multiplayer gameplay viable, I obviously can't replace the default ones with them, so I was wondering if it was possible to have them as a mod - just the player portraits and maybe race logos. If it is possible, would anyone be able to explain how, because creating a m
