Were you expecting a release for Entrenchment? Too bad! You get Rebellion instead. That final Entrenchment patch might come soon, if at all, but for now enjoy this. When extracted the mod is around 2.27 GB in size. The readme bundled with the rar can be seen at the bottom of this post.

For SoaSE: Rebellion, your mods folder can be found in:

This release also includes the Vong. The AI will properly use their ships now, like the other factions. Also, I'm aware that there's some sort of crash occurring early-game due to either the Vong (most likely), Imperials, or NR. It's most likely related to abilities; I had an autosave of it but lost that save.

=============================================

Hello and welcome to the first release of Sins of a Galactic Empire for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion! This version of the mod is currently in alpha, so there are some things missing, other things broken, though on the whole it runs fairly smoothly. There are some known issues with it:
-Abilities have a maximum of 2 levels, down from 3. This is a temporary thing, and was done in order to speed up the release of this alpha
-Titans (supercaps) currently have no abilities, this will be fixed in the future
-All maps are broken except for the Small Random map; Lavo, Ludo, and others are currently working on converting maps for use in SoGE in Rebellion
-Flagship victory doesn't work
-Research and Diplomatic victories will not work well
-Occupation victory is borked as the planet spawns without a militia, this is being worked on

If you ever experience a minidump, do the following:
1) Reload your latest autosave, continue as before the dump occured, to see if it happens again.
2) If it happens again, send in your latest autosave and tell us what factions you were using. Do not send the minidump log/report; we can't get any use out of it.

As with the beta of Entrenchment, SoGE uses stackable minimods.

To activate the mod, open the EnabledMods.txt file present in the aformented folder and edit in the mod like so (this includes all races, like file included in this rar; make sure to leave a blank space at the bottom of the txt file):

TXT
Version 0
enabledModNameCount 6
enabledModName "SoGE Beta Ent - Alliance"
enabledModName "SoGE Beta Ent - CIS"
enabledModName "SoGE Beta Ent - New Republic"
enabledModName "SoGE Beta Ent - Republic"
enabledModName "SoGE Beta Ent - Vong"
enabledModName "SoGE Beta Ent - CORE"

In order to reduce RAM, it's recommend to remove the modules/mini-mods that you aren't using, and update the enabledModNameCount accordingly. For example, if you're playing a game with the Empire, Alliance, and New Republic, you don't need to load up the CIS', Republic's, Vong's assets. It doesn't matter what order you load the mods in, as long as the CORE is on the bottom of the list.

Download all four parts, extract the first. It's a multi-part rar; aka. one single archive split up into four parts. It had to be done in order for me to upload it.

All fear the imminent invasion of the Zombie Trolls!

I can't play this mod on the small random map it crashes before they even start, so I can't really tell you what is wrong.

Several of the files in downloads 2-4 are broken for me, and I can't complete extraction. Anybody else having this issue?

i think zombies is way more complicated

but still doable lol

Sorry for saying this again, but parts 2 through 4 I cannot extract. It says they have borken files in them, mainly sound files. Anybody else running into this issue?

Your funny.

Or so I'm told... often

It really is a good pattern and I'm glad to see someone else following it. I know people "understand" the 2GB limit with Sins, but I don't think they truly understand the versatility this gives modders beyond just the memory limitations.

I also have one more package to download for SoGE and then I plan to try out your rebellion conversion.

Depends on the planets in particular. Some planets, such as a Low Terran or Savannah, aren't worth as much as an Asteroid Shipyard, for example.

Could you perchance give me a list of broken sound files? I'll include them in the next patch to address this.

I plan to use this to be able to make a stackable addon or two. The fact that this lets you do all sorts of addons, or even entire other mods when done right, is amazing.

That's intentional. Seems odd I know, but just wait until you find a planet with large amounts of income, or you sell off some resources.

This is intentional; the supercapital system truly is a WIP, in the future you will not spawn them via the factory but via ability, this gets around the 1 Titan per faction limit and the respawn with experience bit. The AI however will have exclusive access to a Titan Factory, mainly as it's too stupid to properly use the ability spawn, and I can go into more detail, but I like keeping a surprise or two.

I haven't seen this, in my very limited testing. Have you got a list perchance?
