What version of Sins of a Solar Empire is supported? Sins of the Fallen is a modification for Diplomacy and Rebellion.
How do you install Sins of the Fallen? Please read How to install Sins of the Fallen.
Why does your mod have so many folders? As Sins of a Solar Empire is a 32bit game it is restricted to 2GB of ram utilization as well as other various hard coded limitations. The stacking structure used with this mod allows more than 2GB of content by allowing portions of the mod to be loaded.
Will you support Entrenchment or Vanilla? No, I did have previous versions that supported Entrenchment (See Release History), but have decided the it was too much effort for one person to try and maintain both.
Which faction? This usually means the moon base isn't in the Player[Faction].entity file as an available star base.
Edit - I'm going to assume you were playing Cylon as they didn't have the moon or artifact addons integrated yet. It really helps when you are pointing out issues if you put as much relevant detail as you can in the message. I'm usually able to narrow down an issue pretty quickly if this is done.
Ill remember that for next time. apologies for missing the info on that but i kinda forgot what i did when i tested just remembered moons weren't workin.
No worries, just letting you know. It's sometimes frustrating trying to track down an issue when it's stated generically.
Another small update to R6.1...
Could also be using one of the stargate races, but then we don't want to see the Anicents getting an Atlantis as a free flagship, as funny as that would otherwise be.
For the Cylon moon idea, could always be a giant 'fake' or deathstar style moon, based namely around packing plenty of long range guns... yes, I just want a deathstar, sue me. or a blasted/dead asteroid style moon (they are robots aren't they'). Also with the dead asteroid bonus, not sure how it would improve bombing survivability... perhaps population size or similar, due to finding better ways to live in the ruins.
Also do the homeworld artificats stack/will there be artifacts based on the alternate worlds?Edit: Also, by minor alien artefacts, do you mean an event type thing similar to the Pirate base, which allows you to summon Alien ships?
@Sucal first I didn't disregard you alliance ideas... just haven't had a chance to really dig into them.
I actually want to integrate flagships with dolynicks mod. I just need to pick out which ships are flagship eligible. I could also hook in the moon bases too.
Ya, the fake moon idea might work. Problem as always is meshes and textures
Artifacts won't stack. Also, only one artifact per planet.
That's one idea. basically I'm thinking of two tiers of artifacts. The basic low lying fruit that can be on any planet and the upper echelon artifacts that are more rare. Artifacts could be used to summon alien ships. Maybe add abilities to ships or structures. Basically stuff that gives new toys sounds more fun for these while the everyday artifacts will just boost some stats.
Its cool, I got bored and ended up going into far too much detail really, plus you have the final choice anyway.
For the fake moon thing, worse comes to worse you could always see if Maelstrom will let you use some of his planets. A dyson sphere or one of those mining worlds might be rather interesting in some ways. Then again you might want those for a future planet set... just don't make the ringworlds quite as overpowered if you use them.
Also have you considered randomised DS style planet abilities?
That worked. thanks a bunch. though i do have some sort of strange double texture planet issue now. and i have tried it with sol, rigel, and sins plus. again these are the only mods i have installed.
What do you mean? If you mean the planet sphere that overlays the home planet icon, there's not much I can do about that.
If it's something else post a screenshot.
Feedback 6.1b
1.) The changes on Rogue are great. I really like the ability "Mutiny".
2.) I have found one issue "String not found" on Plaque and Nephilim. In the menu there is no name of these fractions!
4.) If you play Rogue and you have a planet where is tax -1 than you won't have a chance to get the break even point.
3.) Colonial and Cylons are your masterpiece. Only a little balancing needed and solving the texture-problems @ Cylons.
Both fraction are very very good designed.
Playing your mod is really fun !

here is a picture of what is going on. its over all planets, dwarf, but not giant. its like there is a second planet ontop of each planet i start a map with.

that is suppose to be a volcanic planet.
Thought people might like that
Happened with some changes to my string building scripts (will be fixed next release)
Planet with negative bonuses? Yes this can be a detrament to Rogue. I like the tax penalty personally because you have to research extortion techs or attach with your pirates which steal credits or resources.
Thanks, a lot different people's work is represented in the mod as you may or may not know. I've included Sot13t's readme as well as updates in my readme for those who should be credited.
Sweet, it's always interesting to me to see what people load up. I like the Cylon as militia too
Tenorios is borked again for some reason. Not sure if my change got backed out as I had some issues with my repository. I'll do some compares and hopefully have it fixed in a later update.
lol, ya that ain't right. Have you tried deleting and re-installing the mod?
deleted and re installed. still not working correctly. also when i have any of those installed it decides it wants to convert volcanic planets to grass dwarfs, ice planets to water planets, and for the most part just randomizes what planets were designated in galaxy forge. other than ones set to the mod planets. (and just colonizable planets)
Are you making your own maps or is this happening with the stock maps?
Edit - So I'm fairly positive that's your issue or at-least part of it. I'm going to be reworking my home planets anyway, most likely as an add-on so it should affect custom maps if that's what your into.
Zman...in my limited wisdom, Ive decided that you need to recreate this texture as is. And make it standard.
idk why but im also experiencing minidumps trying to enable the modc
alright, i just have been working with recreating Sol and the Cyrannus star system (the 12 colonies of kobol) and it seems to be freaking out with sins plus. i dont know why exactly but im just troubleshooting at this point.
Bout' time I got some razing in this thread. I almost think people are scared of zombies
You need to troubleshoot on your end. Can you enable just Tec and Core? If yes, keep adding one at a time until it dumps. If no, then you've got something installed wrong and should delete what you have and re-install R6.1, R6.1a and R6.1b only.
I see... My home planets are definitely causing some of the issue, but I'll resolve that in the final version.
However, my systems more follow the standard Sins approach of is it ICE, TERRAN, DESERT, VOLCANIC and doesn't quite support individual placement of a specific texture as my main goal was to support all standard built-in maps regardless of the planet textures.
That said I did want to support a BSG system that allowed for very specific planets and maps. However, no one stepped up to find textures that matched the core planets so it's on hold until either I have time or someone puts some effort into finding similar planet textures. All I would need is a 2:1 color texture file that matches one of each of the 12 colonies or even textures for other planets known. I can do all the coding around it.
I may eventually also add in specific entries for each of the Sol planets too. Right now the sol system is more of a futuristic/fantasy version.
I don't have much modding experance but I do have pic's of the twelve colonies. I do have Gimp but not sure how to turn them into a texture?
Really I mean finding existing textures that closly match pictures of the 12 colonies. For example do any of the textures in the Sol, Tenorias, SinsPlus, or Rigel resemble the 12 colonies. Are there any textures on something like celestial motherload that are similar. It's a step that needs to be done by someone and that is low on the priority list for me to do all the hunting and comparing.
Careful what you wish for.
Besides I get razing via TS.
Have you gotten around to reading those ideas Mr Devourer of Brains? Mostly curious for feedback and all.
