I've tried it but it's not working for me, I overwritten the files in the main download but it still crashes when trying to load the mod.

I get this in the log when the game crashes.

Check your file path.

C:\Documents and Settings\EadTaes\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Entrenchment v1.03\Bailknight-Entrench

Inside the Bailknight-Entrench I have the Particle, PipelineEffect, TextureAnimations and Textures

When you unziped your miigth have ended up with a double Bailknight-Entrench folder witch will bug up like this:

C:\Documents and Settings\EadTaes\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Entrenchment v1.03\Bailknight-Entrench\Bailknight-Entrench

I've double checked and did it all over again just incase, still no dice, the game seems to hate me.

I just checked the dates of the Bailknight-Entrench to the originals and it seems they are the same, are you sure you've uploaded the right files?

I'll give that ago.

Edit: Crashes on startup.

Just to clarify - I download the mod from the OP, then replace the mods files with the ones that I downloaded from you, is that correct?

No no. Just teh files from my dl alone. Do not combine them with anything. use them as is.

Oh, now I feel silly.

What's with the Mod in the OP being over 30MB while the conversion is only less than 1MB though?

Edit: Karma for you too!

It'S the gameingo and mesh folders. that arent present in Annatar version witch makes the mod usable online and means it does not get affected by game updates.

might i recommend writing it bluntly that the 1.01 version updated by Annatar is compatible with Entrenchment v1.03 (something like v1.01 updated by Annatar, compatible with v1.03), and that it is compatible with MP, while the 1.02 version done by Bailknight is uncompatible with v1.03 and for MP

i mean, it would just make it so much easier for someone who hasnt read the 28 pages of replies...

anyway, let me understand:

the link at the top of the page is the v1.02 mod by BK, which is not compatible with v1.03 or MP
however, the v1.01 mod converted by Annatar is, in fact, compatible with v1.03, and will work for MP?

am i in the ballpark?

Quoting EadTaes, reply 15

You got it dead on.

Could I impose upon you to link to the one that works with Entrenchment 1.03...?

Did Bailknight disappear again? Sorry, I haven't been checking this thread recently

If he did, I can see about getting his 1.02 to work with 1.03 and seeing about doing a better 1.03 effects-only version since he added new particles.

He seem to have indded dissapeared. I would rather like you to improve the MP version of this mod if possible. I care not for single player.

Does anyone have the 1.02 convertdata? He has several capital ship and frigate files crashing the mod in 1.03, and they're not converting to text.

A what? BTW were can I get the 1.03 files to create a mod?

Reply #697 July 29, 2009 2:29 PM from

Each version includes convertdata.exe for converting the entity files between binary and text. I have the 1.0/1.01 convertdata and 1.03, and neither of them can convert some of Bailknight's ship entities to text so I can see why they're crashing. I need the proggy that came with the 1.02 version, and I don't normally back up earlier versions since I'm not actively modding.

In short - without the 1.02 convertdata that Bailknight used to convert his text files to binary, I can't update the mod.

You can get the files from the installation GameInfo folders, look for the convertdata GUIs on the forums (there are a couple now, I think) that can batch convert them to text for you to use.

Okay, thanks to Haree I got my hands on a 1.02 converter and updated the mod. I'm testing it right now to make sure nothing is missing and it looks good. I'll likely put up a download link tomorrow at some point

Download is ready!

This is the full mod updated to 1.03. To make it GFX-only just delete GameInfo and Mesh folders. You will lose beam effects and ability effects (as Bailknight mentions in the readme) and you will also lose debris/corpses from the Volumetric Explosions mod. If you have showErrors TRUE in your user.setting, it will keep complaining that it can't find meshes for these so set it to FALSE and it'll be fine. You'll still get the explosions, just not the extra debris/corpses.

Any issues, let me know

Great!

btw.. Is there any way to get rid of the corpses without loosing beam and ability effects?
