Release 0.54.1 Full Download for Rebellion 1.95+
& Patch 0.54.2

Sins Of The Younger Races Remastered

NEW - Balvarin Carrier and Minor Factions fix!

 

 

Installation Guide:

  1. Download the latest Sins Remastered mod from here:
    https://www.moddb.com/mods/sinsre
  2. Extract the archive into a 'SinsRemastered' folder in your 'C:\Users\%username%\Documents\My Games\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion\Mods-Rebellion v1.85' folder.
  3. Download the latest Babylon 5 Sins of the Younger Races mod from here:
    https://www.moddb.com/mods/sins-of-the-younger-races
  4. Extract the archive into your root 'Mods-Rebellion v1.85' folder instead of a new mod folder as the archive ALREADY contains a premade 'SotyrRemastered' folder inside of it (so if you're not careful you'll end up with a mod folder inside of a mod folder and it won't work lol).
  5. Start Sins and go to 'Options', then 'Mods', and you should see the mods you've installed.
  6. Enable 'SotyrRemastered' and then enable 'SinsRemastered' too. Make sure that the load order is SotyrRemastered first/top and then SinsRemastered second/bottom.
  7. Restart Sins and you should be good to go!

Sometimes the in-game mod loader can be a bit funky so if you can't see the mods you've installed or something isn't working then enabling the mods via the 'EnabledMods.txt' file in your 'Mods-Rebellion v1.85' folder where you installed the mods to is the other alternative. It should look like this to work:

TXT2
SinsArchiveVersion 194
Version 0
enabledModNameCount 2
enabledModName "SotyrRemastered"
enabledModName "SinsRemastered-v0.95b"

Hello Everyone, where might I find the latest build? I'm playing the most recent posted to the wiki but cannot yet build the diplomatic station and I can't wait to try it out! Thanks, and amazing work!

Hello Everyone, where might I find the latest build? I'm playing the most recent posted to the wiki but cannot yet build the diplomatic station and I can't wait to try it out! Thanks, and amazing work!

The build posted at the header of this forum page dates from Dec 13. The most recent internal developer build appears to be quite stable though internal testing continues. It is up to the mod leader on when the latest internal build series is ready for public viewing. One note on expectations, the scripting (functional parts of the mod) are fairly developed but many models are either SoaSE place holders or are cubes. Our two modelers are busy working that but completed models in game are time consuming (there are still more than 70 to place at last count) so it is slow going as the SotYR mod is a hobby and the contributors all have lives to tend to as the primary focus.

Hopefully an update to the public build will be soon but I suspect the hold ups include a bit more internal testing and placement of a another model or two.

Thank you Davroth, I understand completely, life comes first. I cannot stress enough though how pleased I am that your work is progressing. I've waited ten years for this game!

Hi,

not yet finished with all the cards, but have made a trello board for organisation now

https://trello.com/b/of95AueD/sins-of-the-younger-races

@Darvroth, Hael Sose (and the rest of the team)
if you want to use this as well, just send me your usernames and I'll add you to the team/board

Great idea! I've send you my user name per mail. I'll be working on the Minbari Tigara and caste starbases. After this week, I've got time again to do some massive work ;-)

edit - I don't know why this site keeps messing up the quotes. Obviously it was Tobiwahn_Kenobi's post that I've quoted.

Good day, having spent more than one hour for the battles in Sins of a Solar Empire with this awesome mod, I can confidently say that it is completely stable, there is of course a lot of work, for example it is necessary to put the icons for the study there and half not, lacking many Models in race at Centauri and Earth Federation and desirable model vvisti star forts in all races to distinguish visually ....
I apologize for the poor translation because the translator used.
 Great events, like very much, I can not wait for him to have a full version to arrange polnomoshtabnye war with shadows and Vorlon, thank you very much for the work done :))))

TobiWahn,

It strikes me as an organizational tool for the models...if you have more in mind send me an e-mail. In the short run I'll decline. Life is becoming busy for me and I don't think I'll be an overly productive mod member till the fall but I'll contribute when time allows. The tech branching effort is big and I have the distinct sense it must be finished as one project before it can be implemented. That daunting prospect means I don't want to start it till I fully understand the undertaking and can devote the time. Till then I'll muck with planet types and make minor edits as I uncover them.

Send me any other development work in the mean time and I'll cue it up.

Yes, it is mainly for our own organisation, so free to use as we see fit. If you want in someday, just give me a call. It is also possible to vote for the cards to mark the ones that should be worked on next.

And take you time, we still have plenty of work on our hands to fill another year or more for all models to be implemented!

All the best and thanks

nice! But where is it from, I can't recall.

TobiWahn,

Need a hot patch. Remove: SpawnCopyOfPirateRaidsAtRandomPlanet from Centauri research 100 worlds. It is unbalancing and did not do what I wanted it to do.

Reply #4918 from Sins Forums Top

I also need an indication of how or where I can turn off the immigration of pirate ships in the Centauri. Research Branch or Ability? Because at some point romp 300-500 pirate ships in the Centaurifleet and this is not normal.

Reply #4919 from Sins Forums Top

JackBauer36, see my entry above.

Open the Centauri research entity file 100 Worlds and remove the following:

researchModifier
 modifierType "SpawnCopyOfPirateRaidsAtRandomPlanet"

then set

researchBoolModifiers

from 1 to 0, ensure there are no extra blank lines,

then save the file.

Lastly restart the mod, that will fix the issue.

NewHorizons and Cybertx,

If you could take a look at ticket 164 on BitBucket. I'm trying to narrow the culprit but assistance would be appreciated.

Done in the latest commit

Tethys screenshots differ from ingame version, I tweak specular and reflections as well as normalmap afterwards

Looks very Homeworld like... Very clean lines for an early EA ship. Even so it will be nice to have a model for such a commonly used EA ship.

TobiWahn,

I'm slowly adding tweaks to my DB copy. Let me know when you are itchy for an update to the DB and I'll send a commit before you release.

I've had a very quick look, but so far I've not replicated the crash. Whilst investigating I noticed the dev.exe found some minor unrelated tech tree errors

No ResearchWindow ArrowType found...
ResearchSubject_Minbari_Quantum_Singularities -> ResearchSubject_Minbari_Gravimetric_Mastery

and

No ResearchWindow ArrowType found...
ResearchSubject_Minbari_Religious_Zeal -> ResearchSubject_Minbari_Musical_Compositions

 

BTW, new models are looking nice.

Yes, true. I'm not a master of textures, basically I'm not investing enough time for all the little details right now, but if anyone feels free to tweak them I'm all for it. :blush:
