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.

Thank you.

Okie, done. Hope it is all right, and that you all dont mind. Its just my take on a few things, thats all.
Sincerely,
I am somewhat new to the modding of this game, but I was wondering if anyone has found a way around the multiple mods issue? (Please forgive my ignorance)
This would make it easier for your memory management issues because then people could just enable the races they wanted and go from there. And then have one for people like me with 8 gb of ram to have the entire mod. Just thought maybe it would be easier to tackle that one small issue (if its not impossible to achieve) and then leave the enabling or disabling to the players.I guess an issue would arrive of multiplayer with multiple mods being enabled, but maybe it would be easier than the memory management issues that would create. Butfor all i know both things are equilivant in difficulty; (getting past hardcoding for multiple mods, or getting past hardcoding to get files to load and unload dynamicaly from memory.) But thats only if multiple mods was easier to implement that what you were talking about with the files automatically loading in and out of memory.Also if you guys need a vista or high memory tester let me know.
Any chance to have recent Homeworld mod v1.2 races included in 2.0 ??
No. 2.0 is in the bugcrush/polish/final balance phase now, and adding in three new races would seriously disrupt all of our careful work. Plus us poor developers would be forced by DANMAN to make the Kushan unstoppable. (He's a MAJOR Homeworld fan.)
is there any possible way to get a stripped-down planet only version without those rogue stars? or one with them that i can edit them out?
YES ITS CALLED SOLAR SINS....and i forgot where the link was....
I registered at the site and I still can't download the mod. Can someone explain this to me?
EDIT: Didn't notice the download in GIGANTIC letters in the first post.
*aims Radiance Cannon at face*
the link no longer exists, and i havent found anywhere else to get it
Sure, its called SINS PLUS. That mod was made by Uzii, which is the base ofr 7 DEADLY SINS. Since Uzii "retired" and was my mentor in the ealry days, I have aquired Sins Plus and will be releasing a new version once 7DS 2.0 is done. It will include and update to 1.05 or 1.1, and will have the new planets that I added. The Rogue stars will be removed for that mod.
Note, in the REAL galaxy, most star systems have more than one star, hence the Solar Sins mod, and its incorparation to 7DS.
Also, it is impossible to have multiple mods running in Sins, hence the reason why 7DS came into existance. I made this out of a need to blend all the great mods together, into one universe of my own design. This allowed me to not only show of my own work, but the work of others who share my passion for modding and this game.
Also, the bugs are still scurring, but I think I have them cornered. Hopefully in a few days a new release will be out. Also, as a bonus for being patient, I am also incorporating Mansh00ter's new explosion effects from his Last Stand mod. With permission of course.
I hope you all enjoy what is coming. It will make you all forget about the pushback with Entrenchment....
crotch, screen, desk and sundry suitably armoured and otherwise protected SIR!
Can't wait!!!
CANT WAIT TO BLOW UP EVEN BIGGER STUFF!!!!!!
Cool sounds good i wish we could have more than one mod running at a time, its really restrictive
but if you could, there would be all sorts of horrible, HORRIBLE conflictions, which would more than likly render the game unplayable by the user, or just break it in half over a knee
I would also like to add that even though the wait for these big mods is nearly unbearable for most, when you get to play it it seems even better.
Also, it helps the modders because it hopefully shows game makers that they can pretty much do anything, despite the restrictions.
CAN'T WAIT FOR 2.0!!!!
Does 7DS 2.0 will be release soon for 1.05 or will be dalayed to make it for 1.1 ?
at this point it's slated for 1.1; however if 1.1 is delayed too long then it will be relased for 1.05
Make it for 1.05... who wants to pay for an update??!!
Why would you have to pay for an update? "Unless yee be a pirate! YahAR!"
wait, you have to ay for 1.01!!!!!!???????
fuck that! i can't afford to spend any more money outside my student budget. it can't be done!
No you don't have to pay for 1.1. However, you do have to pay for Entrenchment. And since Entrenchment is in a lot of ways your standard overpriced DLC, a lot of people aren't going to buy it.
1.1 is out
Speaking of 1.1, is there any chance that we will see a beta 2.0 for 1.1? Or, for that matter, will the final 2.0 even be for 1.1?
