If you still have the archive then I would suggest deleting the current mod directories. And restoring from the archives before having to download them. But yes, a clean install of the mods would be recommended at this point.

Trinity is just a fancy way of saying the devs will sell you all three games together. So when you play the Entrenchment.exe you will need the Entrenchment mod. When you play the Diplomacy.exe you will need the Diplomacy mod.

OMG is that Cancer Camel? Make there ships Giant cigarettes.

Nice job on the 9 race screen. I thought about it but to me Sins cant handle 3 races.

What is that music playing in the main menu? I swear I've heard it before....

Also, any chance we can get an update on how the transhuman expansion is going, and a rough estimate on when it will be released?

Works for me lol

Btw you should tell other modders how you got your 6-9 race selection screen, it's really cool, others just stack the race pictures on top of each other

Lol, I'm hoping to have fun with uplifted animals. A chance for some humor maybe.

28 days later. One of my favorite zombie movies.

True. Modding completely new races isn't an easy task. Sometimes it goes smoothly, other times not so much. I spent 3-5 months just research Nephilim and Plague before I really started on the races. It took almost 8 to 9 months to release the first public version. I spent a couple months researching Transhumanism (always loved Shadowrun books) and finally found Transhuman Space which has an open license which I'm using as the back story with my own flair. It took about 3 months to research and code the Rogue race only because I had fully modeled and textured ships.

It will probably be more around the time it took for Nephilim and Plague to release good versions of Archailect and Uplifted. I'll have lots of filler though in the meantime like new capital ships for Advent, Tech and Vasari using models from SZ0. I'm also putting together an homage faction to Alliance Hidden Agenda using many of the models and abilities from that mod. Will also be adding in new planets, and hopefully some capturable titan artifacts anyone can use.

All in all I hope to be close to complete with all the races by the end of the year, hopefully.

Yep, this is the template I used with my own touch

Yep, looks like the Archai template is a bit messed up. It runs fine in entrenchment but mini-dumps shortly into a game in Diplomacy.

Edit - fixed a few issues, seems like it may be working now. Will have to try the combined mod again later.

Thanks, progress is definitely still happening. Just not a lot on the forums

I have high level capital abilities defined for the remaining races and have working builds for all of the races. Just doing the drudgery work of importing models into sins, texturing, hardpointing, etc in addition to some of the code.

Nice work with the rogues, i just spent a couple of hours playing with "sins of the fallen complete". New buildings, new descriptions, music, i like the flavour.

A few writing errors and missing desciptions and one missing string but no visible bugs when playing so good job, i enjoyed myself very much.

edit: green class arcadias abbility master and commander actually reduces range for everyone in it, wasnt that abbility supposed to increase it? Probably a bug unless i missed something.

If you want me to do a play through and write up all the small issues i find i can do it, just let me know, like typing errors, missing text etc.

and haha, many of the descriptions you made on upgrades etc were hilarious, very nice.

Okay found a few things:

Some abbility descriptions here:

cobra destroyer: die hard abbility reads: clears out redundant life support systems in favour of redundant repair systems. remove the last redundant i reckon. unless i have forgotten the real meaning of the word and are misunderstanding which is possibly aswell.

AnnaV warship: might shot: the ship unleases its forward missile batteries devestating at a nearbye target, devestating any enemis caught in its line of fire. In any case the first use of devestating misses an LY at the end, but maybe just skip the word entirely, seeing that you use devestating in the next sentence also.

ghost: ion cannon reads: "ion disables the targeted unit, preventing it from firing or.. " Seems to me that a word or two are missing at the start here, like the ships ion cannon disables... or whatever really, i just felt that just "ion" were missing something.

mins wind carrier: true grit abbility :missing a big letter at the start.

last ship in the cruisers build meny is missing a string.

and offcource the earlier mentioned green arcadias master and commander abbility that somehow grants negative range instead of positive.

I liked the 9000 trance whatnot you want to define it as, techno etc hehe, you know what i mean. 9 thousand, dunka dunka dunka dunka rinse and repeat. hehe. It surely feels like some crazed cyber pirates. But you could use a few more tracks for the rogue faction to not explode peoples heads with the 9000 assaulting them every 5 min. Hehe.

Balance wise its pretty descent i think, sure the cobra + ghost spam is nasty and the rogue raider is a strong beginning ship but i cant really find any glaring imbalances, maybe some nitpick here and there though, but thats better left to those that play multiplayer, vs the ai it works perfect.

And yeah, custum sounds ugh. i tried my hand at some voice work a while back, and its hard if you dont have much previous experience and knows just what to do to get the right pitch and sound. Just ripp some stuff from various movies, games etc. Hard to find and cut out though. I really cant help you personally, i like to belive i can be very intimidating but sadly my voice when speaking in english dont agree with me.

I could try offcource.. but it wont be good!

edit: the holy light upgrade for the genesis starbase reads in its description "which all damages.. " should be "which damages all..." i reckon.

ragnarok scourge reads: boosts many tendrals of strike craft, is it supposed to be tendrils?

research precursor : hunger frenzy reads: adds the blook hunger frenzy, assume it should be blood instead of blook.

Added a few more notes to the above post under edit incase you missed it.

Hehe, yeah the music may be too hard and fast for many i reckon, but it was a nice choice and quite appropriate for the faction. Music taste is well.. very individual though, and so is meaning as to what is appropriate for this and that, just go with what you feel is best personally imo.

By the way, in my last uhm like 12 games ive only seen a blue sun, did you remove the other coloured suns?

also the watcher cap ship abbility amplify shields lists the first level as 1% gain in shield mitigation, but it actually increases it by 2%

the second uppgrade increases it by 1% when it is listed as 2% (from 1-3%)

Also the obscure and diminish strikecraft upgrades which follows the soul hangar upgrade for the nephiim is a little vage as to what it does, does it give the soul hangar a radius which hampers enemy figthers? if so maybe make it so it has an icon with what it do and a radius? if this is not what it does then maybe a description which explains  what that is.

the nephiim uppgrade mass reverence lets your starbase build both the mass reverence and the holy light modules, making the holy light uppgrade in itself useless.

Another issue with nephiim is that its buildings and ships flick back and forth between showing "hull repaired /sec 1.5" in one sec its showing and then its gone back and forth, it make for a somewhat annoying flicker effect, epecially when running higher than normal speed. I am not sure what is causing it sadly but maybe you know, it happens in the entire gravity well however so its not some small radius effect centered on a building or a ship.

Very nice. You caught me before i could finish editing the above text hehe.

And your most welcome.

I looked at the pics you had posted of the archailects and the hypercorps by the way, some good stuff there. Seems like your mostly finished with the hypercorp so will that be the next one? Whats with the russian names by the way? You got russian family or something? Hehe.

• Integrating Bailknights graphic effects with the new races
• Adding additional planet types and sizes (See Cosmos Ad Infinitum mod)
• Adding alien graveyards (similar to SinsPlus ship graveyards, but containing capturable alien ships). Already have some cool models for this.
• Converting Orbital Cannons (Super Weapons) to second StarBase type

i like these ideas you have here, having special alien ships that could be captured would be helluva fun, just make them really special and somewhat powerful, great fun there. And second starbase is yum yum, the so called super weapons is meh imo.
