Glad you updated

I've only played around a little but I love the new effects, especailly the TEC bomber missles. And it's nice to see the Kodiaks looking like real ships again.

I only have two qualms, one would be the oversized "corpses" from manshooter's mod(which honestly cheese up the expeariance) and the second is more of a question. What happend to the colored shields for the 3 differnt factions?

It seems that the link has gone bad :( It is giving me the invalid file page.

edit: Never mind. I just tried again and it worked fine. Looks like the problem was with their servers.

Looks great so far,

I was fiddling with the files though and I have some questions.

-A lot of the GameInfo changes only turn Autocast from FALSE to TRUE. Is it supposed to be that way?

-The Kol Battleship has this change made to it:

beamGlowTextureName "TechCapitalBeam_Core"
beamCoreTextureName "TechCapitalBeam_Glow"

Note that beamGlowTextureName has the _Core texture and beamCoreTextureName has the _Glow texture. Is this on purpose?

Also, on the Vasari Vulkoras:

beamGlowTextureName "PhaseCapitalBeam_Core_Light.dds"
beamCoreTextureName "PhaseCapitalBeam_Core_Medium.dds"

I don't think the .dds is supposed to be there.

I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but the textures on the Enforcer and the TEC capital shipyard are messed up. the textures are there, but they are not in their proper places.

Thanks DeadlyShoe

-A lot of the GameInfo changes only turn Autocast from FALSE to TRUE. Is it supposed to be that way?

Yes. I changed it so AI can use lv6 (Ultimate) abilities of Capships.

Note that beamGlowTextureName has the _Core texture and beamCoreTextureName has the _Glow texture. Is this on purpose?

Yes. It make beam more realistic(at least for me) then default setting.

I don't think the .dds is supposed to be there.

Yes but there is no problem with add extension type in entity files. No need to fix

And to HIMPDahak

the textures are there, but they are not in their proper places

I`ll check it as soon as possible. Thanks

--------------------------------------------------------

Confirmed. I`ll fix this issue in next release.

Turns out the mod makes 1.03 crash? Bah. :)

Is there anyway to read the dump files to see why this mod leads to a crash? i.e. to convert them from gibberish to english

Bailknight You need to make a version of this new mod for 1.03 without the game info and mesh folders. I need your mod again for MP. SP only mod is no good to me.

...is this a purely cosmetic mod?

No Bailknight's official mod is not purely cosmetic thus you cannot play online with it.

How ever the version converted by Annatar for sins entrenchment 1.01 works for 1.03 and you can play online with it.
