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

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 replied to your post on our forums. And informed Dan about this, he is aware of the issue and it should be resolved soon!
New Dropbox option permits links so we can share with everyone!
Please enjoy. In The Beginning -Atlantian backstory. 7DS Beta 6 Manual

it is really really laggy after just a few minutes
What are your system specs? I have not tested out the latest iteration of the beta released yet, so I cannot confirm that it lags or not.
Semaz, you encounter any lagginess when you play?
The manual, the story, the mod... which one.
Which release, which races, map, players/Ai involved, graphics [star][ships][structures] settings, and user interface [cargo ships, asteroids, dust, etc... ]
System specs help too.
For the Atlantians, would it be possible to move the Bastet, Ra, and Osiris to the Cruisers section? Then have the Aither and Adjudicator built under frigates? Would seem to make more sense looking at the supplies and relative strengths of the ships.
Ive followed the mod for awhile and the last 2 updates have been really laggy even just in small games between every 2 factions i tried. Its especially bad between the Empire and kar zah (Its understandable because of how many ships the kar zah bring to battle) but even with just the tec and atlantians which are just spin offs of stock races its pretty bad
http://us.toshiba.com/computers/laptops/satellite/P770/P775D-S7230 and im using large address aware to allow it to pull more memory and it still hasnt helped much
Other mods it has given a boost to but this mod and distant stars it seems not to have made a differance weather it was on or off
What are your system specs?
The mod runs extremely well on my PC, and only gets laggy when I am playing on a large multi-star map that has at least 3 or 4 races that have all teched out and are pumping out huge fleets.
I also have noticed that amd cpu's seem to be more lag friendly in games than the intels.
I do not know why, but have trended to intel for this exact reason eg an intel powered laptop at 2ghz is more responsive than an amd powered desktop at 3ghz.
harpo
Take a look again at the Atlantian build section for frigs, then cruisers. All the Orion ships are in one section with true Atlantian ships in the cruiser section. Order goes from smallest scout/light to battlecruisers -then starbase constructor and antimodule.

For performance, turn planets to high/med; ships to high/med/low; structures to high/med/low. Disable team colors, some asteroids/dust.
In User Interface, don't view cargo ships, don't auto pin planets -you can manual do this to important worlds. Might help.
Also, if you find your settings folder, find user.settings and change these lines.
MaxParticleCount 6000MaxParticleSimulationsCount 2000
to
MaxParticleCount 12000MaxParticleSimulationsCount 4000
or 6000 to 18000 and 2000 to 6000. Some report it helps.
I added in the supply requirements as best I could to the quote. I guess that makes sense from the setup perspective of you build Orion ships until you can build the Atlantian ships. However from a gameplay perspective it doesn't add up to me. I expect the bigger supply and more powerful vessels to be under cruisers, just like I expect the ships taking up less supply to be under frigates.. As you point out, you have a mix of frigates and cruisers listed under both frigates and cruisers instead of being separated by their role. I also thought from the story it's one united faction, and that they would organize their ships accordingly. I guess it's not a really big deal, but if there's a simple way for me to modify it for when I play on my own, I would appreciate knowing how to do so.
About the layout. There is the simple explanation and the complicated one.
Simple -Orion are early game and Atlantians later game. Players only have to really deal with one area of the 'frigate factory' for a good part of the game. Keeps things from being messing and having to jump back and forth constantly while building your early-mid game fleet. Sure, you have to hop to cruiser tab to get the starbase and anti-module, but you're also tempted with the Atlantian ships, so when you reach that magic point when you tech up for the Atlantian ships they are also all in one area.
Complex -two different races even though united. Orion are masters of cybermechanical technology. Atlantians are masters of biomechanical technology -even though their ships aren't living, sentient creatures. The technologies are so far apart that it'd be like having a Mercedes factory occasionally have to put out a tank and the tank factory having to churn out the occasional Mercedes. Very different stuff really, so best to have them separated into different areas. But why the starbase constructor and antimodule in the Atlantian section??? We ran out of room on the other side. Sorry, but that's it really. If we'd started 7DS to be 100% 16:9 widescreen with minimum height resolution of 1024, lots of people would be left out -but we'd be able to totally scretch things out like you wouldn't believe. However, it's a hardcoded feature that you can't have more than 9 slots and then "Return" button.
We tried to preserve as much of the layout for Orion ships as possible. You've got some odd build values. Watch this on 720 and full screen. Most agreed it is just easier to deal with Orion in one area and Atlantians in the other. We aren't segregationists, it just worked easier.
Seeing the different values, I wondered if I screwed up something and left this in the developer 6m version.
Right, that's what I thought about how much you could fit into one section. As you said, given the limitations and that you're putting that stuff into cruisers anyways, then how about switching the anti-module and starbase constructor or just the anti-module, then moving the heftier Bastet, Ra, and Osiris to cruisers section? Then it would be 9/8 or 8/9. Would that work, or just too much bother?
Thanks for taking the time to respond as well!
Ajusted it for everything to low and turned off asteroids and planetary rings it helps a little but even on the small maps its pretty bad
il try the exact instructions you sugested and will report back
After before i was running beta 5 no after the update large address aware dosnt seem to be helping much at all
The problem must be on your end, since I just got through a very long game on the latest beta on a 29 planet map and didn't have lag issues, and my PC isn't as good as yours. I wish I had 6 gigs of DDR3 RAM. As harpo said, it's probably your CPU that's lagging you.
Hmm It seems as some things on toshibas get better others get worse
That a toshiba laptop? That would definitely explain the lag in some cases. I have said I don't get any lag, but my PC plays Battlefield 3 at maximum settings with no lag at all. 3-4 gigs of ram is definitely enough for this game, however CPU can definitely be holding you back.
Do you know what CPU you have?
We got the KOTOR Leviathan Interdictor Class Battleship in! Thanks Scratch and Wintercross and thanks to Warb_Null and Lavo_2 from SoGE for the Leviathan.
That would be me. Warb made the ship, so credit to him for that. Looks awesome!
When I try and use the forgot username/password function on danmangames, it says the following:
"Could not instantiate mail function". I don't receive any e-mail in either my inbox or junk mail...any help?
post in the website section so Dan can get it sorted out asap.
okay folks, got some new gameover screens. credit given where author identified.
there will be some major site maintenance going on @ Danmangames. Expect some outages, but it is for the best to keep things up to date. More information as it becomes available.
Is the Beta 6g for Entrenchment, Diplomacy, or both?
