Sadly, i extracted correctly : I have the volumetric 1.12a folder and inside it, i have the 6 folders Gameinfo, mesh, etc... all in the Mods-V1.15...

The only idea i can come up with after hours is that it's like the system remember i first mistaked by putting the 1.12 instead of the 1.12a and continue to put the minidump error message. But it's superstitious as there is no way it could do that.

Hmm... I am completely stumped then. I really hoped it would be something as simple as that. You are using Vista, correct? The fact that you're getting a minidump from both this mod and the Volumetric suggests there might be a problem not directly linked to the mods at all. Are you using any other mods, or have had success making them run?

I am using vista, i am not using any mod and it was the first time i was using one. I didn't try any other mod than yours and bailknight's one.

I will try to uninstall sins and reinstall it. I will see if it resolves the problem.

Alright, here's the download for the Entrenchment version of the mod. In theory, it should also work for Vanilla Sins 1.15 but I have not had the time to test it.

Installation of the mod is slightly different. Every patch version now creates its own mod folder. If you have Entrenchment 1.01 (and you should), and you don't see the "Mods-Entrenchment v1.01" folder in the user path, launch the game and go to options > mods > show mod path and then refresh your explorer window. The folder should be created, and you can drop the mod in there.

Linky: http://files.filefront.com/Bailknight+Entrenchrar/;13374730;/fileinfo.html

I will test it for Sins 1.15 tomorrow and make any changes if necessary, or just post that it works fine. Also keep in mind Entrenchment does add a bunch of new particle effects (mostly from starbases, and the Adjudicator) which are not changed by the mod until someone who is more artsy than I am can do it.

Any problems, post and I'll try to figure them out.

This link takes me to an empty fileplanet page.

Yeah, I'm beginning to wonder if the mods shouldn't just lock this one for posterity and give you a new thread for updates. Bail seems to have bailed.

Bad news with flash beams. Bailknight did not make new particles for them. He modified the entities shuffling around which existing ones they use, and increased the beam width (5x the original for egg, 4x for Kortul). The Kortul's still looks good in this version because its was always bigger, and the muzzle and hit effects do have new particles. It's just the very low beam width for the default Eggy/Antorak that make it stand out like a sore thumb.

This means I can't fix it and keep the mod as visual only. Since it involves an entity change, doing it would mean you wouldn't be able to play it in MP with people who don't have the mod.

But, if you still want me to do it I can.

Annatar11, thanks for looking into this. Lets just leave it as it is.

I`m not sure about that. I regularly visit this forum before but now I got Entranchment (bought 2 days ago) and It seems need some work for new weapon and skills. Well I don`t have enough time for mod right now but at least I`ll release newer version for Entranchment in some future.

Guys, I was using Annatar's entrenchment conversion with an edited "frontiers" conversion of sins plus and all seemed well until I got a minidump. I disabled the graphics mod and the dumps stopped, so it seems as though the graphic mod is causing the problem.

Annatar you should copy paste the relevent information from the OP post and create a new post, give credit and link to original work and use that new tread to work out the new modificatiosn of the mod.

There is some problem now. I just updated my entrenchment to ver 1.02 yesterday and It mess my mods pretty badly (mostly related with entrenchment abilities and starbases)

It seems like there is no forgetool for entrechment 1.02 so I can`t make progress until new tools out.

Nevermind, just found new convertdata fof 1.02. I think I can continue my work now.
