Yup so right now Annatar is our only hope. I would do it but I havent got the faintes clue yet how to conver a mod from 1 version to the other short of startign from scrach.
eadteas have you tried it with the 1.18a version of the mod updater?
harpo
???????????? come again?
Then it seems they changed the particle files. I really hope the mod updater utility will handle that, because otherwise someone will have to go through ALL the particle files (and there are a lot of them) and change what's needed.
manshooter, the mod updater ONLY works in the ENTITY files which is where 90% of the changes have happened, and there was a mod breaking change to 1.04 in the entity files with the changes to the akkan colonise ability being broken into two parts and BOTH entity files needing to be in the entity.manifest.
So that's the only (mod breaking) change we know about?
actually it was the mod updater breaking change, but fortunately I had written a manifest maker for mods, so it was not a BIG deal, just an irritant, but there were several changes in the entity files that could if not changed cause problems.
Harpo, do you have a thread here for your mod utilities? With your mod updater, is there any way to select only specific mods? It gives me a bad file name error when I try to do that.
moguta, the mod updater was designed to update all the mods from an older version to the newest version, and no it will NOT update a single mod.
my mod updater thread which has links for all of my utilities in one rar
my text-bin gui thread
my MAP updater thread
my manifest maker thread
the bad filename is because the program is trying to find a convertdata that matches the path but can not
if there are mods you do not want to update just delete them from the old mods folder before running the mod updater.
I just tried to update Bailknight's mod. However, it minidumps after playing for a short while. Anyone know why?
After converting the mod you need to run the 'manifest maker for mods' on it to get rid of the minidumps.
If someone has converted the Mod for entrechment 1.041, he or she make a rar out of it and bring it online?
Still having probs with the converter.
Thx
I agree, I have also been having some problems getting it to work properly. If i isn't too much trouble, it would be amazing if some one to posted a rar of the updated mod!
gasbic and steeltoast I have just play tested my copy of bkg_entrenchment_v1.02_1 updated to 1.041 and no problems with any of the usual errors so I am uploading now to gamefanatics
edit game fanatics closed down. FDB.
Downloading now. Much appreciated. Can't test tonight, but I'll try tomorrow for a second opinion.
harpo,
just an observation, not trying to be a jerk or anything, but you may want to state that your download doesn't include all the balance changes from the 1.04 update. For example: The Cobalt light frigate, max hull points increased from 600 to 635, max shield points increased from 350 to 370, max speed increased from 800 to 825,turn rate increased from 3.3 to 3.7 and there are quite a few more. Anyway, Thanks for the awesome sins tools you've made modding sins a lot easier.
I can confirm that. Solution for now is to delete GameInfo and Mesh files from the mod as sometimes had to be done in the past. Loaded up a game to make sure stats were right, but I didn't test for errors. Should work fine however.
Mazuo,
You may want to just convert the game info folder to text and update yourself. As stated in the main post above:
3. Changes - Gameplay 1. None 2. Still if you remove GameInfo folder, You`ll lost every enhanced beam effect and ability effects.
Thanks for the upload Harpo, works great!
Since the Distant Stars team uses Bailknight's graphics & have already updated their mod with all Entrenchment 1.041 gameplay changes, I wonder how easy it would be for them to "split" an updated copy of BKGM off from the current DS version?
Very difficulte for some sections. As files that affect DS only atibutes migth also be use by BKGM as well. They would have to take all of the BKGM files and then remove by hand all the coding they have for DSM that might be in there.
Definitely a possibility and something I might try. Just wanted to point out that if you simply delete those two folders, you also end up with a 0 checksum mod that can be used online with others that don't use the mod and it won't cause problems.
Great thanks to you, harpo.
You made my day.
The only two things that ever bugged me about Bailknight's effects were the Advent starfish's fireballs (they hardly looked building-busting) and the TEC missiles (the glowing tip would sometimes be slightly offset from the trail). So I went ahead and made a couple tweaks:
tweaked Advent starfish fireballstweaked TEC missiles
Since Bailknight seems to have abandoned the scene -- at least for the time being -- what do people think about releasing his mod with these two tweaks included?
Looks great ! The best thing were if Ironclad would integrate the mod in the game with next patch, so there wouldn't be a need make a new version with every patch. Sins is the beste strategy game I've played in the last years, but the effects are really lame and this mod shows that it is no problem for the engine to show better weapons and explosion effects.
