I tried D/Ling the v0.9 of this mod, but for some reason it pretty much locks up at about 7%, and then I get a 'Windows cannot download SOGE0.9.7z from warlords.swrebellion.com. The connection with the server was reset' message. It my just be my comp or it could be the server. I have tried multiple times. Also, will v0.75 of this mod work in Sins v1.17? Additionally, hosting the file on filefront might be a good idea (filefront is free by the way).

Reply to [MOD WIP] Fleet Diversification in Sins Modding Sins Forums

hey guys, a tip- destroyers are actually light ships, being only slightly smaller than frigates or cruisers; Lancers or Snipers should be done as scouts with ERL (Extremely Long Range) weapons. A mod I am currently working on will feature a new race with scout ships armed with ERL railguns capable of firing across a gravity well. Why Lancers should be scouts- because they are designed to be the 'sniper' ships of the mod, and snipers are most often deployed as scouts. Scout shi

"The Legions" mod for SoaSE&Entrenchment in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I'm Whiskey144 (in-game name 'Lord Vraxedes' or 'Vraxedes Empire'), and this is a post about a mod I'm currently planning (July 4, 2009). It will feature at least 2 new races, new ships for all races, and some new structures as well. They will be constructed of both modified vanilla/Entrenchment models and new ones of my design. !!IMPORTANT!! AT THIS TIME THIS MOD IS STILL IN THE PLANNING STAGE. MODELS AND SCRIPTING WILL (HOPEFULLY) START SOON. For some really great things, you have t

Reply to ASK DANMAN - Question and Answer in Sins Modding Sins Forums

thanks for all the info kyogre. once again, I have other questions: 1. one of the new races I am planning to put into a mod, the Empire of Taun'Shas (no, it's not the Tau from Warhammer 40k), will (hopefully) use the same factory to produce all of their ships. Is this possible, to have a single factory produce frigates, cruisers, and capital ships in either Sins 1.17 or Entrenchment 1.03? 2. any good ideas for a 3rd race? (I have 2 so far- the Legion of Vraxedes (pro. VRAKS-AY

7DS team, a few more Q's (I'm full of them aren't I?): 1. Post #11/#13 (can't remember which) by Annatar11 notes that Entrenchment is coded for up to 4 TYPES OF STRIKECRAFT. I know that it's up to 3 at least (Advent are the evidence), but is it true that up to 4 may be used? 2. Zero10oneSB, have you tried zooming in on the model, or where it was? If so, and it still wasn't there, try doing it with scale factor at 1, and then script it and put it in the game. If it's bi

thanks kyogre for the info. also, anybody know how to assign weapon hardpoints? and kyogre, are you also part of the 7DS team? kyogre, I specified the value that I think has the constructor consumed in the process (check post #381). The mod I want to/am making will have ships called 'Mobile Star Forts', which will have some starbase-style abilities but capital ship mobility.

sorry for the double post (probably again), but I had 2 more Q's: 1. reusable starbase constructors- how could I do this if it's possible. here's some code from the ships that build starbases- moveThruTarget FALSE Note that this value is the same on all 3- the Jarun Migrator, Raloz Heavy Constructor, and the Advent constructor (don't know the name yet, as I haven't played Advent since I 1st got the game) 2. starbases that can phase jump- how could I do this if

Reply to ASK DANMAN - Question and Answer in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Hey, 7DS team, had a few Q's, so I thought I'd ask where they'd likely be answered correctly. 1. Do ships with shields require a shieldmesh? 2. If so, then how t create said shieldmesh? 3. as I understand it, each ship can have up to 3 DIFFERENT weapon TYPES, but in up to 4 BANKS of weapons. Is this correct? 4. (kinda dumb) where is the shieldmesh resizing tool for D/L? 5. (also kinda dumb) which faction do you think is the best? (my moneys on t

I D/Led it earlier harpo, so it should be helpful HOWEVER, It can still be helpful knowing how to do it manually, as if the program doing it for you messes it up (no disparagement to yours intended), then it's a good idea to know how to do it manually.

senorfrito, if you read all of the post (no offense), then you would have seen the mod I mentioned. Truthowl also mentions the same mod I D/Led, which I now know probably won't work with my Sins version (1.17).

Reply to Jump Drive in Sins Modding Sins Forums

CursedSpirit, I just D/Led a mod called 'PhaseScout'. It is similar to what I wanted to do. Here's how it works: Basically, the scouts have the 'Infallible Jump Drive' Ability replaced with a new one that allows for the fleet to jump from one planet to any other one in the map. Period. My home to yours. The catch- YOU MUST SCOUT A PLANET TO BE ABLE TO JUMP TO IT! This actually makes sense, as if you don't know the coordinates (location) of a planet/oid

is it possible to have ships jump between unconnected grav wells? and really far away grav wells (like my home planet across 3 star systems to your home planet)? (this would be a researchable subject similar to LR-jumps)

Reply to Ship Cloaking!!! Modding Editing in Sins Modding Sins Forums

anyone still in there? If there is, my suggestion is to make your own ability based on the 'PhaseOut' ability. Call it 'Cloak' or something like that, and then it's likely that it'll work. If not, then cosmetic is the only way to go. EDIT: if anyone's still lookin' at this thread, I think if you look at the buff file, and remove certain modifiers, it MIGHT work. These are the modifiers for the Vasari Scout's 'Phasic Cloaking' abiltiy- numEntityBoolModifiers 7<b

Reply to How Long Can You Keep Sins Running on a Laptop Without Overheating? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

guys, just a note on overheating, if you get for bottlecaps (not beer bottles, water/soda bottles), and prop the laptop up onto them, it can help increase the airflow around the vents. This will then help alleviate any possible heat problems, plus it helps when you're using it in hot climates.

Thronde, Thanks for sharing how you fixed your problem. I myself am working on a new race mod that will also give additional ships to all races. Knowing that that's how to fix crashing in the event of new ship type additions is extremely helpful.

Reply to Need help Modding Vasari Starbase in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Ashtoruin, While I am equally new at modding Sins, I have toyed around with Battlefield (it's an FPS series). You should also be more specific about what your trying to do. From what it looks like you want to give the Vasari Starbase the ability to function as a phase stabilizer gate, to allow direct phase jumps. I don't think that it's possible, due to the fact that the phase stabilizer ONLY does that, while the Vasari Starbase does more than that. What I suggest- PM Thoumsin

Reply to ASK DANMAN - Question and Answer in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Thoumsin, thanks for that, that is just great for me! I don't know how much help I'll be, and I'll probably not find many, if any, problems with the 7DS mod (never tried it before); also note that sometimes people should also use parantheses to show what the abbreviations mean, I had to google PM and then look at it on wikipedia. Figured it out though, and everything is on track on my end.
