Stargate Invasion is a total conversion mod for Sins of a Solar Empire: Entrenchment and Diplomacy . As of this time, there is no FINAL release date yet for this mod.
The mod will be built in 2 halves. The first is the Pegasus side, I.E. Humans, Wraith and Asurans, with the Pirates being a classified race at the moment. The second part of the mod, will add in the Asgard and Goa'uld races to the mix, we will even be creating a separate version of the mod as well, which will just be Humans, Asgard and Goa'uld, with the Lucien Alliance as the Pirates for that half.
"GTFO. They are doing this as fast as they can. If you want it done faster learn to mod and help them out. If you cant do that then don't complain they aren't moving fast enough for your liking."
Thats a load of BS. If I have Swine Flu and am told i'll have a vaccine soon but, then Its never given do I not then have a right to complain and voice my frustration. Do I have to become a maker of Flu Vaccines before I can complain!!?? This mod has been in development for a long time and so far.... all that has been released to its many fans is a one ship installment.
I am grateful to Eomega and his team for the work they are doing out of the delight of their heart and the demonstration of their talent But......
One has to relize that the quest for perfection is futile. Nothing will ever be perfect. Release something and continue to work and patch it. That is the way it goes with all programs and with all mods. Everything has to be patched. If I build a house I will eventually have to make repairs and will wish to upgrade it with something I couldn't afford in the beginning.
I understand that i'm not gonna be Mr. Popular for saying this but, no one that speaks the truth ever is in the beginning. Go ahead and rage at me just know that I don't give a ****.
I don't mind what people say, but I am making a list of people that are not going to get the mod
Did you really just compare a free mod to a vaccine you would pay for? Because you were never 'promised' anything. You were informed that these people were making a mod and when it's finished it would be released. You're mixing up entitlement with privilege. When Eomega feels comfortable with a release, I'm sure he'll do so. After all, the mod isn't even close to ready. Tuari aren't finished and other races are hardly started.
man i was really looking forward to getting this mod but its gonna be a failure. Why you ask? Because you can't even release a genuine sample and its been in devolopment for at least 2 years and you dont even have one race done yet. The Stargate Races was a success, and as far as i know they had a much smaller team working on it with fairly ship models. Btw the way its impossible to stop anyone who wants to get the mod from getting it unless you never release, which is likey as you will DIE before you finish.
How about we stop flamming and putting these guys down by decreeing that it's going to fail... we aren't able to see into the future and WE shouldn't be kicking them to the curb... so what if they are taking their time... I say take as much time as they need... just some people here are to pissy and whiney and don't want to wait... GET IN LINE KIDS AND FREAKING WAIT! geez... people can be so irritating sometimes since they are so impatient...
First off, comparing the mod that we are putting together in our free time to a flu vaccine that the government has told everyone will have access to no matter what is complete BS. This is a FREE, read the word, FREE, mod. You have no idea the work that goes into programing a mod, the time it takes to make a model, and to then texture that model. If we had more people, rather then just the 3 of us, then we could get the mod done that much faster. Right now, as it stands, there are 2 of us that are model makers, one of us that is a texture artist and our new member that you all know, JTAYLORPCS, is a code guru. Now being that he is the code guru, we can get everything we need coding wise done, then all we have to worry about it is the model making.... Which really takes time.
Now, to part 2 of my rant... Saying that our mod is going to fail is kind of pushing the envelope for me. Its your personal opinion that our mod is going to fail, and that SG Races is superior. Im not saying that our mod is going to be superior to SG Races, this is because I talk with DolyNick, I helped him with ideas, and he helped me with some as well. Now your rant about us dieing before we finish the mod... that is completely uncalled for. I suggest that you shut your mouth, if you dont want to follow the mod anymore, then dont. Nobody is twisting your arm making you wait for the mod.
Now for the final note on the ranting side...
Im not trying to make a PERFECT mod. Im trying to get it close to possible, with very very little bugs, but I will not hold the mod like a little greedy kid because it isnt completely perfect. I ammore then willing to release a mod with problems, but we need to get to that point in the first place, and all these people creating posts about how we are failing, and this and that doesnt help the matters. Oh and on the note of not letting certain people have it, Riser was making a joke, not being serious. Please learn the difference.
That is enough of my ranting, now to get to some good news and such.
Thank you very much EternalRequiem for your post, it was very satisfying to see someone from the community, and not our mod team get involved in stomping these little brush fires out.
If you have been to our site, you will notice that I have posted certain things there that I havent here. This is because I like to have a small place to work, and updating to one site is easier then updating 3 or 4 sites. When I have something big to post, then I will be sure to post here. Please everyone, be patient, we are trying to get the mod out as fast as we can, but you have to realize that we need TIME to finish the mod.
I agree with you, Eomega. Superfleet is out of line. All of you are doing a great job.
My swine flu comment was a mere metaphor used to suggest that one does not have to be both a producer and consumer to express their opinion ( I do not have to make my own sandwich at Hardee's to have an opinion on how long its taking to make and produce it). As for this mod being free.....yeah, It will be free and it will all be thanks to you and your team and I am grateful for that but, you have made this project public and as such it is only natural that it has found fans and people anticipating playing it and they are going to be disappointed in delays and will express those feelings in an appropriate venue......right here. You should be glad.....you've provoked strong emotions and desires for your talent.....might that also translate into money if the right eyes in the business notice that talent when the mod is released?
I do not have to be a programmer or 3-d artist to realize that it is taking a "while" to complete a modification of a completed game.
Understand that I do realize that these things take time however, your team has placed a lot of images of models in game that are supposed to be done???
When someone has a question about the mod's progress or a release date the default response from the team should not be the denegration of the person asking the question. Transparency is key to beating out these "Brushfires" as you call them (I call them legitimate questions).
I am, in no way, trying to condescend on anyone. Everyone has the right to their own opinion, I have never said anything to the contrary. So let me try and understand what you are saying.... the Community would rather that we release a mod that is half assed, then add onto it with our models once its released? It sounds like that is what you are saying. Im happy that Im sturring up emotions in people, that makes me feel good at the end of the day, but what I dont like is people making Assanine comments about how our mod is going to fail and the like.
Yes our team has placed pictures of models that have textures and are ingame, but they are not balanced out yet. Therefore, they are not done to a satasfactory level.
I dont think I have ever looked down on someone for asking when the mod is going to be released, or its progress. I have given an update to them. If I have looked down on someone, please feel free to point it out to me and I will change my ways to make it to where I dont do that again.
When I said 'brushfires' I was refering to the spamming, not to legitamate questions.
I too disagree with superfleet...if only because you and your team has already put a great deal of time and effort into this. I must say that yes, I would be disappointed with a "half assed" release however, I would rather have a half assed mod release than nothing. Here's the deal....I don't want to rush you....I come here and I look for updates and get a little rush in my heart when I notice a change in the title link. I would not have said anything about this at all had Myles not come down so hard on that one guy for asking questions about a release......it was his right to ask questions.
Do what you feel is right...its your mod....your talent....your time. I'm glad you're doing it.......
I will try and update more often then, Im happy that you are watching. Hopefully, now that we have a full time coder, we can get things done that much faster.
Hey I understand the model part completely, I've been in practice modeling ships and stuff with wings3D and it is tougher than it looks to construct a model from scratch or even from something that was drawn out and you have examples to go by. I hate it when I see bashing that is uncalled for so I had to say something to get these nibblets ass lickers to STFU. And it makes me think that a lot of people who keep bugging you guys are actually kids who have no idea what your doing and how hard it is, also adding on to that if there are ADULTS here who are spatting out in that way... they are pretty freaking immature. In essence it's best to have someone who understands and supports you. I've played a lot of mods here and most of them a pretty good. Heck I'm waiting for this one, and Manshooters WIP mod. BTW keep up the good work no matter how long it takes. The only reason you guys are going slow is because you have a small team plus RL can get in the way of things, combined with other stuff it's completely understandable.
Excess rant done...
If that guy had asked 'Hey, it's been a while, when are you going to make an update or a release?' I wouldn't have come down so hard on him. However, there red text at the top that says 'no release date as of yet' and the whole post was basically saying 'its taking forever, I think it should be done already, but you'll never release it'. Basically, to me it felt as though they were coming off as ungrateful and entitltled to a mod that they've contributed nothing to, and I couldn't let that slide when all the hard work that's been put into this mod.
@Myles......demanding that he GTFO and become a programmer or modder was a little much.
If someone is making a despairing comment or remark then attack it with reason and replace it with hope for the mod. Attacking someone who is a fan and is obviously wishing this mod all success is not the appropriate response. That guy would not have said anything if he did not give a damn.........
Not everyone that shits on you or says something negative is trying to tear you down.
And yes, I do realize this stuff is hard....i'm trying my hand at modelling and programming.....it does take time. I think that 2yrs is a while however Eomega has addressed that and I accept his reasons. A team of two is pretty thin on the ground.
Lets take a moment and think.....I support this mod and team...you do....we all do.....so, the real problem is that we all know that its taking a while and that scares us. No one wants to see work on this mod stop. The new addition to the mod team should be seen as awesome news. It indicates that work is continuing and that we should expect even more in the coming weeks and months. This is great news.
Well, sorry, but that's how I feel. IMO, no one has any right to complain about waiting if they dont want/aren't able to make the effort to help them out. Plus his post was almost completely negative and unneeded.
Hi, I have two questions. But first, I'de like to comment on your time, dedication and commitment to the mod. It's great, everything you make looks great and the things you improvise on look like they would had the origonal stargate team made it.
First, will you be changing any physics to the gameplay? Just wondering.
And second, will this mod use alot of memory? On many previous occasions, I have played a mod that my computer cannot handle, (not to sound big-headed but) even with 2gb of RAM.
Thanks.
wow the controversy. i guess i was a little mad and out of line but all i want is a sample of the mod. it does look great i also did not realize it was only 2 people working on the mod, i apoligize for my earlier comments. have you asked dolynick to join your team? once again i do realize i was wrong... also was having a bad day
He was asked a long time ago. think its the first or second post on his forum page. A sample was released its called the bc 304 mini mod.
not sure if its been addressed, but do you think you'll add new Grav Well types that reflect stuff from stargate? so like blackholes, different types of nebulas, goauld fortress worlds, ancient relic worlds and human outposts? ETC ETC?
yes we will be adding in new gravity wells, I have a couple posted up on our Invision free boards.
All I want to say: Keep up the good work!
I watched this mod from the beginning and all i see is perfection and guys who really put something in it.
I´m thankful to see such a great mod. So take your time
I got a question.
On the Moddb site, there's a mod for two different DSC-304's, both Capital Ships. Are they for entrenchment or reglar sins (please say regular!)
i got lost on that site, could you possibly post a direct link when you get a minute? cheers
will there be any more mini mods to come
