Alright so, I've been noticing this weird problem, for some reason certain ships do not have the range they are coded to have. Example here. Both ships have the same ranges for their three weapons (10k, 6k, 3k) and the same number of targets per bank. That was until I noticed the two ships have different m_weaponIndexForRange values. The first had a value of 0, the other a value of 1, and it was the ship with the v

The more slot count taken up, the bigger the fleet it, at least that is how the AI sees it, if I understand it right.

[quote who="Theophantus" reply="191" id="2929910"]Lavo is your dynamic movements the current version? Or have you adapted it yourself?[/quote] What? I don't have a dynamic movements mod; some of SoGE's frigates had usesFighterAttack set to TRUE, and after I set it to FALSE, they somehow magically became more effective and were firing off more shots.

Reply to Star wars vs star trek in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Actually that would be rather terrible, as the Wars ships would have a huge advantage; you shoot off more shots when stationary than when moving dynamically, in Sins. Perhaps it's due to the ships' low rate of turn, but I've seen this occur in SoGE with several frigates, before I made them undynamic due to this very reason.

On the proposed copy/paste suggestion; I was thinking a few days ago and realized, that in the GF right-clicking is unused, is it not? If so, one possible way to implement a copy/paste function, is to code it so that when a star is right clicked, the star and everything inside of it is copied, and when one right-clicks outside of a star's radius, that the copied star and it's contents are pasted.

Reply to Mines & Bombers Mod [WIP] in Sins Modding Sins Forums

These look very interesting. Though I'll just note a few things; one is that while mines can have antimatter, shields, and hull, they cannot have weapons (their explosion/detonation is via ability) and two, mines can move/have speed. I'm not entirely sure how your fleet logistics slots thing will work, as fleet slots = ship slots. As for the mines that shoot stuff, there's two ways that this can be achieved. One is by giving the mine an ability that does so, like the TEC&#

Oh and to Sinperium, unless I'm mistaken, a ship can only have 5 abilities max, unless you've found a way around the fact that a ship's entity can only list 5 abilities.

My bad on the dual threads thing. As for Marine2014's question... I'm not seeing an issue with the file, except for a lack of a blank space/line at the end. The only thing different from the stock file is the WeaponEffects for the third weapon (autocannon).

Reply to Modder's "Get-an-Answer" Thread in Sins Modding Sins Forums

For future reference, this is where you ask questions . Now to answer your question, that sort of error usually indicates that there's a line of code missing. In order to properly analyze this thing, go to line 212 and see if m_weaponIndexForRange is actually there. If not, it means you likely deleted a line or something, if yes, then I have absolutely no idea what's wrong with it, as iirc

Agreed. Though thankfully, this is not the case at all in SoGE. On that note the Vong have been rehauled, in the beta, so they'll be quite a bit more vicious now.

Reply to Star Wars: Sins of a Galactic Empire 1.0E (entrenchment) in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I'll just note, about the space colonies, that a logistics slot booster as described by your post simply isn't possible, due to engine restrictions. The ISD I and II are considerably superior to the VSD II, due to stronger shielding, three times as many fighters, and the heaviest laser armament of all the cruisers in the game; with only the Nebula SD nearly matching the ISD I. Starbases are indeed being worked on, and are currently ingame in an alpha state. Feed

Actually, skyboxes are NOT useless, not in the slightest. Perhaps for vanilla they are, though for SoGE, killing the skyboxes has effectively killed a ton of ship skins... Nova, if I port over the previous skybox file, will it harm your planets at all? Edit: Or maybe I just needed to reload the game? Something's fishy here... Edit 2: Seems changes were not as drastic as when I first booted the patch, likely occurred due to "shock" to the system, however lighting is definitely off for ship
