Yeah the Colonial voices are very nice, they just sounds strange for me (i never hear the original voices just the german ones).

But it would be hard to add similar voices to the Cyclons. Maybe some samples from the brabbling ship-hyprid, can't remember what she said, but since its confused it dont realy matter

Yeah, but you never really hear (at least that I can remember) any Cylon, skinjob or not, say something combat related. Maybe The Plan will have something...

You could just use the jibberjabber of the hybrids(?) that opperated the capital ships for the command sounds.

The new update seems to be great, but I'm disapointed because of one point : I can't modify the files anymore, to make my own balance. Is there a way to change that, and do as I could with the previous release ? Cause for example I don't like to have to use different types of squades and in the previous one I had deleted the bombers of the possible squads.

But now with the new encrypted data it seems to be impossible

Any solution ?

I've tried to use the converter, but it seems that I'm crap lol

Could you explain it quickly so I know exactly what steps are required because I really enjoy to make my own balance and stuff.

Thanks a lot

Btw I just played the new mod, and its really gorgeous. Really nice job, thanks everyone

This is exelent news!!

Great work so far! I know you guys are working your tails off testing, debugging, coding, and much more without pulling out whatever hair may be left on your scalps... but from my experience from playing 13th Tribe v0.5 to v0.8 I see some great works in progress. If you don't mind me mentioning a few things that could be tweeked (mentioned or not previously)?

1. The Berserk ship (Flak ship) is too large compared to all the Cruisers, if it were sized down between the Fenris and Combat Star in scale could work out much better as they tend to clump up and cause some serious traffic-jams... I know that one of the few images available about the Beserk is rather hard to judge the size given the quality and that it's parked next to a capital ship at Scorpia

2. Strike craft models look even better (I saw a pilot smiling at me), however when they are flying in formation with their host ship, they tend to push the ship so to speak... this may or may not be something unavoidable altogether...

3. (Might be a bit much) I like that the Gemenon Traveller is the recon ship for the mod, but there is a vessel mentioned from ToS BSG called: Celestra [deep space exploration vessel filled with advanced sensor gears...seems to be a carry-over design similar in appearance to the "Electronics Ship" seen in the original series]. That's assuming you can find a 3d model or image somewhere to create it and then do all that work to get one little bugger in is not the fan's decision in most cases...

As the mod currently stands, I am in love, and have been playing it all day since I downloaded and installed v0.8. The trade ship models look good (even without a texture), the mining ships are awesome, if every ship had depth and texture like that (which I'm sure it will soon) this thing could sell itself. I commend you guys for the work put forth in this, huge changes between v0.5 and v0.8, soundtrack, etc. (Also, check the ship names on the textures as they are reversed or mirrored depending on your definition)

Lastly, for those who want a map to play out their BSG fantasies... check my posting: BSG Map Pack

One more thing to mention as I noticed upon replacing a turret from a Cylon raid, after I researched the turret upgrades giving them the rocket packs and longrange cannon, the model reverted back to the Sins basic... just a heads up, that either the model be upgradable as research allows or remove the options from research... or change the model parameters to re-use the bsg turret models from the mod... course I am just learning about all the headaches from modding from my own secret project... again, good luck and keep up the great work you've all been doing for us BSG fans...

Hell, myself being only a modeler, i am not a pro when it is related to code... maybe make a post in the Harpo topic... it is his GUI so i think that he can help you... or if kyogre have some free time, he can maybe send you the file in txt mode...

I don't blame you for the choices made Like I mentioned prior, the Beserk is fine as it's obviously a support ship to the capital fleet like the others, your placement and ship balancing it perfectly fine as it is... All I was concerned with was size... If you want to see what I mean, create a fleet with 2 Galactica class , and 2 Mercury class Battlestars, 10 of each frigate class (minus bombardment, scout, colony ships), 5-10 of each cruiser class (carrier, drone, command, attack)... usually the flaks go right in the middle (with command cruisers) of the fleet formation as they should to provide good coverage throughout (they dwarf the command cruisers in formation).

Move them around a bit, or throw them into a equal combat setting... a reduction in size will prove to work out much better... even 1/8th scaled down could do the trick without too much effort taken away from other projects. Otherwise, remember about the turrets for the model/tech problem I encountered in Reply #366. I like where the ships are at and the models you've picked for them, unless you guys are already changing things about... my recon ship idea was just some info on a BSG ship I came across and thought I would throw out there like fishing in a lake with no fish

hell, the file you listed is a vanilla sins capital ship that fails to convert with convertdata_originalsins.exe from 1.16 & 1.17.

have you tried my modding utilities v1.1?

I have all of my modding/mapping utilities latest versions with the convertdata's and all other support files in the 1.1 archive and will be updating with EACH patch that comes out

Kyogre, how about a main menu track that is longer so it repeats less?  I was thinking you could use "Storming New Caprica" instead of the nBSG intro.
