Welcome to the 7 DEADLY SINS mod, as featured in PC GAMER by DANMAN .
Welcome to 7 Deadly Sins 2.5 FINAL for the latest version of Sins Entrenchment 1.053.7DS can only be played at HIGH maximum settings. DO NOT USE VERY HIGH settings. This will cause a minidump. Also, there is an issue with Win7 64 bit. You will get crashes, load errors, or the game will not even play, with or without warning. Just keep reloading the game and trying until you actually get into the game and play. This is a Windows problem, not a problem with Sins or 7DS.
7 Deadly Sins is:
The ultimate combo mod, the "unoffical" expansion of Sins of a Solar Empire, or so it has been dubbed by the mod community.The work of many individual modders working together under my leadership (DANMAN3712).Nearly 4 years old and downloaded in various forms over 100k times worldwide and in 5 languages.
Together, we form the 7DS Mod Team and the backbone of DANMAN GAMES www.danmangames.com
7 Deadly Sins is the combination of original 7DS Team content and other mods including:

12 Playable Races with their own traits that make them more unique, from being a total offensive race, to a highly researching race. Each race now has its own unique tactics of gameplay.
Trader Emergency Coalition- solely based on trade and swarming, with little military might Corpo-Nations that have rebelled against the Trade Order. Their military might stripped, they have turned to allying themselves with various factions and hiring mercs for protection. TEC has new Battlecruisers, mercenary contracts, and EMP shells that bypass shields to a small degree.Trade Coalition Armada- the military arm of the Trade Order Once the development arm of the Trade Order, they are now the last hope for the Trade Order and humanity. Their ships are bricks with extreme range railguns.
TCA has state of the art weapons on traditional capitalships plus the Dresden and Athena Dreadnought and Beta Kol Titan.The Orion Unity- modified Orion and Advent Combine Some Orion split with the Atlantian-Orion Combine to guide the Advent towards their ultimate evolutionary stage. TOU ships are stronger, faster and deadlier; They can even travel between worlds using the Phase Stabilizer technology of the Tempest Titan. Ship research boosts weapon performance.
DARK FLEET- modified Vasari The Dark Fleet is all that remains of the Vasari. Where the weak Exodus ran often and fought rarely, the Dark Fleet seeks total dominion through force of arms. Their 5 Titan ships roam looking for prey. Play style is familiar with greater armor, firepower and destructive potential.
Imperial Armada- from Star Wars Guided by a clone of General Thrawn, the wasteland armadas of the Imperial Armada can employ powerful Force Alchemical Technology and even unleash the power of the Executor Super Star Destroyer. Can unlock Jedi and/or Sith Holocrons for performance boost to defenses or offenses respectively -and at the expense of the other.
Rogue Cadre- Playable, custom pirates Rob, pilfer, and steal your way to greatness. The Rogue Cadre is a melting pot of human cultures, Advent refugees and what remains of the Vasari. They have gathered against the TCA, TOU, Atlantian-Orion Combine and TOC to free humanity from tyranny, mysticism and slavery. Posess the Precursor Titan and The Machine -the latter capable of capturing capitalships
Arilou Vanguard- UFO race from the Star Control Games Not being of this dimension, the Arilou do not rely on money and normal means of transport or construction. They simply spawn ships from their "motherships", and travel through Quasispace, which propels them at near instant speeds from planet to planet.
Ur-quan KohrAh Third Doctrinal Fleet- Death race from the Star Control games Totally aggressive, the Korh-Ah are built for battle. They are all offense, and barely any defense. They focus on exterminating every race and every planet they find, and almost every ship is capable of boming from orbit. Their goal is to "cleanse" the universe of all other sentient life, anything that is not an Ur-Quan.
Ur-Quan KzerZa Third Doctrinal Fleet- Slaving race from the Star Control games Unlike their Kor-Ah cousins, the Kzer-Za believe in a diplomatic approach, let alone old habits of enslaving entire races into their Hierarchy. They have grown from their 10,000 year old ways, and are more good than bad now.
Atlantian-Orion Combine- the ultimate race, the seeders of life (the gods) The Combine are part of the original Creator Alliance and responsible for seeding galaxies with genetic data. The Orion are the protectors and defenders until the Atlantian vessels can be fielded. Their greatest strength is their technology, but the loss of labs remove bonuses gained from research.
Taalo Horde- Ancient Rock race, from the Star Control games As if the universe itself groaned for a protector, the Taalo have awakened from a million year slumber only to find old allies -the Atlantians and Arilou stripping the galaxy of semi-sentient flo-metal. They are the ultimate enviromental defender with a naive sense of justice. They have incorporated alien technology into their asteroid bodies with great results.
Triad of Creation- Ancient Destroyers of Worlds, Galactic Enslavers The Triad of Creation, the Dnyarri, Antaran and Lapis, seek to eradicate all life in the universe. They nearly destroyed the Atlantian-Orion Combine in the Ori galaxy by turning their creation -the Vasari- against them. They emerged from within the Rogue Cadre taking a sizeable portion of their population into slavery. Their fleets struck the Taalo and Dark Fleet with vessels designed for infiltration nearly crippling the two factions.

7 Deadly Sins, a Danman Games Production/Mod for Sins of a Solar Empire by IronClad/StarDock.
I apologize for this, you may have answered all my questions earlier, but i cant find them on the forum so:
1. I have all my settings on high, yet the game still crashes?
2. The User avatars in-game collide with each other, part of one picture mixes with the other one.
and yes, I have 1.05 and no other mods running. Help please.
yeah, the Pictures were messed up in the 2.1 We apologise for that.
I suggest that you put your settings even lower. 7DS requires 2gb of RAM to operate due to all the content. If you have less than 2GB, we suggest that you try to upgrade or put your settings lower. Try not using some of the effects like Show Dust or Show debris.
Hey guys, where did the Deadly forge go? Even if it's not the most recent version, can someone please put a link back up (or fix the one that is already their)?
well, it has been suspended from what i hear. Dont worry though, 2.5 will have the Deadly forge addon included.
Hi guys.. who can I contact regarding the Golan 3 mesh being turn on it's side? If there is a XSI importable mesh for it I can help fix it. Btw the CL.dds file has the alpha channel heavily used which gives the mesh a red tinge - easy fix is to make it all black.
I am not so sure. Mabey you can have one of our modellers do it for you.
Thank you Mr_Blunt3d
The mod works with medium settings, and from what I've played, great mod!!
I'm having trouble installing it. Every time I click [Enable Mod] everything pauses. I thought it was loading, but nothing changed for thirty-minutes, so I alt-tabbed out, and got a min-dump created message. I clicked [OK] and sins crashed. What happened? How can I install 7ds?
Nevermind, I found out that the problem was with my Sins version. Is 7DS v2.5A stable, and compatible with sins v1.17? Or is their a way I can de-update my sins back to v1.05?
2.5A is Entrenchment 1.02 only. There is a way for you to do a multiple install for 1.05/1.17. ill PM you
That would be great, thanks.
i cant get the 7 deadly sins to show up in my game.
i know the path goes........c:Documents and settings\owner\local settings\application data\ironclad games.......
when i get to owner there is no local settings or any other path remotely close to this.
help please.....
Its not owner, its C:\Users\"Your Username"\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods
This is for Vista though, if you have xp I dont know.
podpolknovik8890, the two folders AFTER the user name ARE HIDDEN folders and you are useing the XP path so click on the tools at the top of the window, click on folder options, then click on the view tab, look down the list for a 'hidden files and folders' with two radio buttons below it and click on the 'show hidden files and folders', then click on apply and ok, then you will see the folders you are looking for
harpo
Will the none-Alpha version of 7DS work without entrenchment, or will it still require entrenchment?
The current Release verion runs on Original Sins version 1.05.
The Alpha currently runs on Entrenchment 1.02.
The next Alpha should run on Entrenchment 1.03.
So basically I should just get entrenchment, huh? Don't really know why I don't have it yet anyway.
But will the full version of 7DS 2.5 work without entrenchment? Or has the 7DS upgraded to entrenchment completely?
THanks for the help.
Dan will be maiking a new version for Original Sins, after the current version is done. Keep in mind, it won't have all the bells and whistles the Entrenchment version will have due to limitations changed between Original Sins and Entrenchment.
All I really care about is the skybox's, the planets, the stat changes (more fleet size), and the planet bonuses, and the graphics and sounds.
you had to have archived the game if you wanted the 1.02 version
In version 1.05 which Rogue unit colonizes planets? I tried all the ships but nothing worked.
What 7DS version for sins 1.5 ? 1.3d, 2.0 or 2.1 ?
Go to http://www.sri-corp.com/mkportal/modules/mediawiki/index.php/Rogue#Cruisers ... you will find two ship with the "excel in planetary insertion" description...
Be aware that these rogue ship, like to fight... so colonize is not automatic, fight first... you need to activate manually the ability to use it...
You don't have these ship directly, you need to research them... the research is show at a level 4 in the research tree but if i good remember, two military lab are enough for enable it...
If you are using a small map with several player ( rush map ), the faster way is to capture colony ship from your ennemy !!! On bigger map, you will have time to make the research since popential victim for capture will be far away...
Is it a realistic thing to make ??? downgrade from Entrenchment to Vanilla sins will ask a lot of ressource and thousand of entity file to be modified again... ressource and time will be better used to work on the 3.0 version once 2.5 is released...
does anyone know whatever happened to the second alpha release? i thought it was supposed be out nearly 3 weeks ago? i know dan is busy, that could be it
I absolutely love this mod! It's a creative innovative addition to the SINS.
However, I read in the first post that this mod will not work on very high settings. I turned on very high settings and tried to load a custom map, and of course I got a minidump. Why does a minidump occur when very high settings are activated? And where is this minidump located?
