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"

cccain,

We are not done but most of the mod team are experiencing life challenges at the moment so the mod must by necessity take a back seat. We still converse back channel and work is proceeding if slowly. The current focus is bug hunting, the goal is a stable build but the last several internal builds contain a serious problem that leads to a fatal crash. Until we isolate the cause and work a solution progress is at a pause.

i just put the mesh files into gameinfo fregate shadow stalker for watching the match.

mouack,

Impressive work, while there is a backlog of models you'd need to speak to TobiWahn or Hale-sose, there is also a separate web site where they are tracking the models but I'd really have to look to find the link, better if one of them posted or sent via PM.

The UI work is really helpful, good UI will go along way to make the mod more immersive and finished in appearance. I'll see if I can get TobiWahn to surface and comment.

Darvroth,

I have not made the models I simply transfer models  to make them compatible ( very long -_-) with sinsofsolarempire game (I have the right to use) and for each model is long enough. I have all models in ZIPformat ( i have about 60model ) if you want to have ask me.

 

Reply #4962 from Sins Forums Top

the interface, background, portrait etc are solely my work however and i will agree to provide to your team work ( they are still at the stage original and deserve still some improvements).

Reply #4963 from Sins Forums Top

i think the models i have come from the web site you say.

the manufacturer of the model told me that they were free to use.

Reply #4964 from Sins Forums Top

The process and handling to make them compatible with the game is long enough.

the model of firstone that i put in the game ...

Interesting.... Firstones guarding the planet for "Occupation Victory" perhaps ;-)

Reply #4966 from Sins Forums Top

Gentlemen, please don't tell me your efforts have waned after all this work! You guys have put together the best Babylon 5 mod for any game out there. Don't loose the motivation to see it through and polish it up when you are at 85%!!! Was 0.44a021 the last "release"? Amazing work you guys have done with the Shadows and Vorlons. I really must tip my hat to you. You've brought the saga of show's interstellar warefare to our fingertips! Please keep up with the future releases!!

Not the last release, but the last 9 month changed my life dramatically, not always to the best, so time and motivation took a back seat concerning this mod. It is far from over though. But first I promised to make a model for another modding effort, which I'm doing as time permits. After that I will work on the mod again (as time permits). And the big roadblock (the minidump/crash) does set us back a little...

The models from the websites are not used because the mostly use way more polygons than adequate, also they tend to not have a good UV for texture optimisation. So I basically use them as a point of reference for creating optimised models from scratch. That way I can keep the polygon count low and optimise the UV.

Thanks, any help is welcome. As a little advice, there are some free babylon 5 fonts to use (one of which is included with the mod in the fonts folder). Character portrait screens are a very welcome addition for immersion, so please feel free to get them ready for inclusion if you feel like it.

 

I do like the idea of firstones guarding the Occupation Victory planet, though we still have so many other models to finish that these are luxury projects :grin:

mouack,

The right looks better IMHO. Sins of the Younger Races, finally a B5 UI makeover.

Reply #4975 from Sins Forums Top

hi Darvroth

the right is when you make your mouse on the button the starfurry becomes red.

its the same UI in both picture
