I just wish to say that i really love this mod for 3 big resons:
- The effects look great!
- Space combat is easyer to oversee as you can see better who is firing at whom.
- For me, it didn't even change a single % in fps.

I would really like this graphic content to be included into other mods!
Good job man!

You have to copy the gameinfo, mesh and particle directoryes into a directory named bailknight_graphicmod_v1 within the mods directory. That does not exist and is not included in the zip file, so its a bit confusing. You have to create that directory, and then copy the three above into this one, not straight into the mods directory.

I've added colonizable moons and a number of additional textures).It just keeps growing.


Colonizable moons? :D

Yep, even added a new research to be able to do so. But it's not quite working yet (need to get with Uzii and see what I'm doing wrong).

sweet thanks for the help TyrelHUN. i had a hunch thats what needed to be done but i wasnt sure.

I'm using Distant Start mod atm and I can't load 2 mods at same time. Can I add this mod somehow by default for the game? I should simply copy the files to the gamefolder?
Reply #158 from Sins Forums Top
Although I have bit weaker configuration that minimal vanilla requirements - your kickass mod works perfectly - I haven't noticed any lag increase comparing to vanilla (which works fine even with full fleets in 5p match).

Greate job.

Very nice. You rule Bailknight!

I'm the kinda guy that likes to save before massive battles then just send em in, put it on cinematic, get rid of the UI, watch, and look for the perfect screenshot. I love how it makes the TEC weapons less blah graphically. I loaded up a massive TEC vs TEC battle the second after i activated the mod and it was just amazing.

Anyone wanna come up with a step by step to add this to Uzii's Sins Plus? It can't just be as simple as moving the directories... or is it? These two mods together would make me a happy panda.

Actually, it is that easy.

I added it to Uzii's mod. I have my own tweaks in the various gameinfo files, so I didn't even install that part of the effects mod.

I just put the mesh and particle folders into Uzii's.

Same here. Particles and Mesh alone over top of Uzi's is VERY nice.

I would have used some of the Gameinfo stuff, but all the changes were in BIN format, which means if you use them personal changes are locked out. It would have been much better to leave them uncompiled IMO, so folks can see and tweak to taste.

My personal mod, "Tasty 3.0", is Uzi + this + my tweaks.

VERY nice work.

This is the first SoaSE mod I've installed. Excellent step by step and more importantly fantastic mod!

I can finally play in cinematic mode and see what my ships are attacking and who is taking damage without UI assistance. The damage types are more obvious from a distance and the eye-candy is just icing.

Most importantly, I haven't noticed any performance decrease! I do have a nice comp, but have all my setting on highest at 1920 and still get butter in huge battles with absurd amounts of shiny FX.

Thanks for your contribution Bailknight :CONGRAT:

this is beautiful!

Any chance you'd release the uncompiled gameinfo? I'd like to tweak some stuff myself
Reply #165 from Sins Forums Top
Yeah, I honestly wouldn't mind an explanation as to why it is the way it is either. If one were only changing what the graphics look like on your own client, why does Sins care when it comes to playing with others online?


Say for example you are playing an FPS, and you add a little graphics mod that makes the walls invisible, so you can see your opponent coming around the corner before he does, but he can't see you. That gives you an advantage.

Offhand I can't really see how graphics changes could make a difference for Sins, but I betcha somebody can, so I can see their rationale for this feature.

Me and my guild all applied this and Played a game, out of four games at least 2 out of the 4 players received a minidump. Whats up?
Reply #167 from Sins Forums Top
Wonderful work on your mod and everything, but I have a question is there a way to combine this into the game its self with out losing my other mod because I'm using the enhanced mod but I also want the firing and laser animations from this one. Is there a way to put it directly into the game liek you can do with your planet's mod.
Reply #168 from Sins Forums Top
In that case, you can simply drop the mesh and particle folders into your other mod.
Reply #169 from Sins Forums Top
Alright cuz i was wondering if that was all that was need thanks, hope it works.
Btw keep up the great work.

This mod's readme needs to tell people that they need to turn up their MaxParticleCount in their user.settings file, so that they don't end up with invisible shots from all their ships ;)
