Here is the latest updated build: http://files.filefront.com/Bailknight+11rar/;12438797;/fileinfo.html
Yup, thanks Annatar. I'll download later and check it out again.
Might have a problem here.
Can someone else confirm wether or not TEC fighters and bombers are supposed to have color markings(stripes and such) on them in 1.1(mine dont)?
Also could anybody find me a decent closeup screenshot of a forward facing TEC Kodiak (from vanilla 1.1)?
Reason I'm asking is because I think some of the color oddities from this mod have PERSISTED even after I turned the mod off.
You guys this is not working. I can not extract this in winrar. Says some file name is to long in GameInfo folder. Use winzip or 7z. They don't run into this problem...
Please and thank you...
Also if you want me to host your files for download. I can do this from the website I own and paid for. www.wkateam.com I can host your files for you no charge. contact me please...
I was able to extract it fine, using 7zip ... you dont HAVE to use winrar to extract RAR files
WinRAR worked fine for extraction here.
great work Annatar, this mod makes the game much more fun.
Is anyone else still getting the prob with advent bombardment animations. Im using the latest link from 23 nov, as I see it was previously reported as fixed (perhaps I missed something?). In my games the bombard explosions are white squares when viewed head on ie from behind a siege frigate facing planet. They are there but are less noticeable from side view. Anyone else see this ?
i don't like winrar I always run into problems with there program. I got it extracted from another friend who had winrar. No he didn't have any problems. I upgraded winrar and uninstalled and reinstalled new version still same problem... So I give up on winrar...
Besides 7z or winzip work just as good. Or even better 7z is the best compression tool out there...
I tried with both siege frigates and capitals for Advent and I do not see any white squares. The frigates shoot lots of fast moving projectiles that make little explosions, and the capitals shoot slower projectiles that make a large detonation with an expanding shockwave. The shockwave is pretty much blinding white, but that's it. Everything looks the way it should.
Can you post a screenshot of what you're seeing? Maybe also try deleting the mod completely and extracting it again.
I'm not having that problem, Bapperus, at least not with the purge vessels. I'll have more time to test a bit later.
Yep, I had to download the mod again and reload it and the problems gone, thanks again
Great job Annatar. Been playing with the Nov. 23rd release quite a bit the last couple days (lost my job, not much else to do lol). In probably close to 20 hours of gameplay I have yet to see a single glitch, bug, or hiccup. Big thumbs up to you. If I find any problems between now and some upcoming job interviews I'll be sure to let you know, but I think you've got it dialed in.
Thanks bullfrog I'm thinking if nobody notices anything by the end of this weekend I'll call it a final release. Good luck on the job hunt, those things suck
Yeah, I played it a lot last night and have yet to see anything other than the previously mentioned issues that would be hard to resolve without creating custom effects yourself.
What was in bailknight's work appears to have been translated just fine to 1.1 by you Annatar. Much appreciated.
When update for ver 1.1 ?
It already is. I can't modify the original post since I didn't make it, but scroll up to reply #502 for the latest 1.1-compatible release.
Are stardock going to incorporate some of this mod into their future releases? It really makes the game sooo much nicer to play.
They aren't
With Entrenchment looming on the horizon, do you think there will be new weapons or effects that will need to be modded? I hope bailknight comes back soon to keep the mod alive.
yeah, even with some of the explosion improvements in the last patch, I think the weapons effects in Bails mod are far far better. Shame they aren't incorporating them.
Any inside running on weapon graphics changes in the entrenchment add-on, Annatar?
I can (and will) convert whatever's in this mod, but I can't make new particles so I don't know how well it will mix Depends on how many new particles Entrenchment introduces I guess.
Hey all! The mod looks great, but I had a quick question. How much more strain does this mod put on a system? I have an OK system, but not a powerhouse. I usually can run Sins fairly smoothly (until the game gets late and the fleet sizes are all maxed out for 4 teams on a 5 star map ). I'll probably try this out one way or another, but I just wanted to hear from you guys
I'd try to go though the thread, but I'm at work, and 500 posts is a LOT of reading!
I didn't notice it have any affect on my system at all, but then I don't know what you're running.
I'm on a laptop (Gateway P6831-FX). 1.6ghz dual core, 3gigs RAM and an 8800GTS. Didn't phase my system in the least. I would imagine that unless your system is already having a hard time running SoaSE you should be fine. I don't think any of the effects added by this mod are really much more intensive than whats already there, they just look better.
