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"

It is more stable, but wont stay that way since we will add more assets. So we will need LAA for Higher (or even high)

Be advised we still haven't completed the rebellion mechanic as some call statements still refer to the vanilla ships (TEC) for rebel or civil insurrection. Rodney thought he had this figured out shortly after Rebellion release but it was never fully implemented. I'm confident you could cull Vasari and Advent ship models across the board with no impact. If I'm wrong then the rebellion mechanic is the most likely culprit.

They sure didn't make finding V 1.83 easy did they?

V 1.83 seems not only stable but my rig ran considerably cooler than previous builds which is an indirect measure of processing and system consumption in support of the game. 

I've been thinking...a dangerous activity...in my zealous attempt to fabricate unique approaches to the diverse races SB I overly complicated them. I'll begin an effort to simplify upgrading SB which will also assist human players as AI are never resource poor and the current scheme consumes too many resources on SB construction and upgrade given how easily an SB can be destroyed.

TobiWahn, when you get a chance can you lob me an editor build with all the latest changes and I'll forward my results... Thanks.

Ok, the conversion to 1.83 included some renaming of files to follow existing conventions, unfortunately that messed things up for many of the races SB. EA and Centauri will not build the military outpost. There is an original file called Starbase_*race*_Military_Outpost for each race and that is the wrong file for the MobileConstructor to build and it also breaks all the SB upgrades.

The correct file calls for the Constructors should be:

EA: StarBase_EA_EA_BattleStation

Centauri: StarBase_Centauri_Orbital_Citadel

Narn: StarBase_Narn_JaStat_WarBase

Minbari: StarBase_Minbari_Warrior_Caste_Station

 

In every case StarBase_*race*_Military_Outpost is the wrong file and is the reason the above races can't build a military SB.

RandomEventOpenRebellion.entity and RandomEventPartisansTech.entity will certainly spawn TEC ships as SoTYR appears to including the standard ones from Sins itself.

I suspect we'd need to specify our own RandomEventDefs.randomeventdefs that either don't have those RandomEvents or use modified ones that use, say, EA ships.

 

Also SotYR uses the normal AsteroidDef.asteroidDef which also references Advent/TEC/Vasari models for planets such as the Ship Graveyard.

Observed several sync errors during Lan MP games today.

Sync Error detected between player0 and player1 at tick: 79440. Again at 745200 and at 11002200. Reloading recovered and some MP features continued to work but the game was essentially split into two with the off player being taken over as an AI.

These desyncs appeared to be associated with placing SB and planetary modules. After reload the error leading to the desync could not be replicated but a new error would occur sometime later. Frequent saves helped. Ideas?

 

I'll try web MP later and see if they suffer the same issue as LAN MP.

Edit: Web MP doesn't appear to have any issues aside from some late game lag.

Is there a race modifier that increase the targets per bank for a titan? The EA Victory is a killing machine all out of proportion to what was intended and what my understanding of the entity files represents. The Victory is behaving quite a bit differently to what it did under 1.82, something important changed with 1.83 and we didn't catch it yet. Ideas?

Edit: Tested the other titans and the issue is solely found with the EA Vengeance. It seems to be able to simultaneously target 30+ ships on each facing and makes short work of most foes to include Vorlon and Shadow.

"Old version of Sins detected. Ensure you have the latest update." WTF Both were running V 1.83. I've looked at all the developer sites and Steam and there is no information about a newer version. Ideas?

 

Reply #5036 from Sins Forums Top

Weird. Steam just presented me with a Windows 8 look then didn't when I logged back in. If they force that crap down my throat I may have to start organizing angry 40 somethings until they change it back.

Is it normal that the Ability "Squadron Automation" to work properly only in the beginning. Later, she is no longer effective ...

Hey guys.

 

I've been really excited to try out this mod, but I can't get it to work. I downloaded Release 0.44a03 but for some reason when I try and activate the mod, it gets stuck on the loading screen with the rebellion logo.

 

I've tried activating the mod from within the game, and making my own EnabledMods.txt file, same result both times.

 

I'm running Rebellion 1.82.

 

Am I using the wrong download?

 

I've tried doing everything like I normally do for mods, made a "b5-sotyr" folder in "Mods-Rebellion v1.82" as the intructions said, but just won't start :(

 

Any help would be appreciated.

PreAlpha 0.44 for Sins Rebellion 1.83 - Look at the version number. 1.83 probably not running under 1.82!

Reply #5042 from Sins Forums Top

I thought about that, but there's no download link for 1.82 though. Looked at their website and the previous mod is unavailable

Reply #5043 from Sins Forums Top

the previous build was: c5658916c2e1d1c3d011685141605493c484c3ee [c565891]

the first 1.83 compatible was: 29ce8cf8800301629ee8480ca473034e3dff4d17 [29ce8cf] 2 builds back.

Sorry, wrote you back just now. I'm pretty much not at home for most of the last 2 month. Many things happening, good and bad. So progress O:)

Yes, no official version for 1.82, sorry. Can't keep everyone happy I guess, but you can just opt-in on Steam for 1.83 and help the community find bugs in 1.83 and sotyr :grin:

Since the not reasonable to not work with the "Squadron Automation," I have these times recreated and assigned to the ships directly, now it works well. Just as some "Capital Abilities".

Da das mit der "Squadron Automation" nicht vernünftig bis gar nicht funktioniert, habe ich diese mal neu erstellt und den Schiffen direkt zugeordnet, jetzt klappt es auch. Genauso wie einige "Capital Abilitys".

New DLC "Outlaw Sectors"... wonder how long it will take to conform the mod to all these changes...

Reply #5047 from Sins Forums Top

Hi there!

 

Huge Babylon 5 fan, would love to play some sins as Minbari :)

 

I appreciate that the mod is described as unstable....but is it playable with 1.85? I looked through the last few pages and it just refers to 1.83? :)

 

Thanks!

The last internal build was 1.83 compliant and was reasonably stable. It will take some effort and a good deal of time to update the mod to 1.85 and that is not including any new content the mod team intents to add.

Reply #5050 from Sins Forums Top

Yes, we want to see the version at 1.85, with only bug fixes from previous versions!

Thanks for the mod!
