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"

Quoting Darvroth, reply 5174

A time delay in one of the buffs should give us a close approximation but I'd need to review exactly how the  revs strung together the ability. 

PM me your e-mail and I'll send you the files.

Nice!

That Vorlon looks good. You might want to talk with the Dawn of the Reapers guys too. They're working on something interesting.

Hi SchismNavigator, thanks for your reply! I'll check them out on discord.

I've added a frigate support carrier, which also launches plasma missiles. And a VeryHeavy frigate with 2 heavy pulse beams.

Vorlon carrier, vorlon heavy assault

Reply #5186 from Sins Forums Top

Thanks! Hopefully you won't have to wait too long. Nearly done with the Vorlons. Still need to do:

- extractors

- starbase

- outpost

- possibly refinery with refinery ships

Reply #5188 from Sins Forums Top

So will you be concentrating on completing one faction at a time now as oppose to adding bits and pieces to each faction here and there?

Reply #5189 from Sins Forums Top

That would be my preferred MO yes, it's easier for me to stick to one at a time, having more focus on one particular theme. And I do have a particular soft spot for Vorlons as you might have noticed.

Ready with the resource extractor, starbase and refinery. Now gathering inspiration for the refinery ships. Vorlons do not trade ;-)

Just reuse the extractors..as you said...Vorlon's don't trade until later...

Reply #5192 from Sins Forums Top

I'm not sure what you mean with reusing the extractors. But indeed, it would seem odd to have a vorlon trade station. That's why I included a refinery. The refinery vessels stay in vorlon territory and pendle between the extractors and the refinery, looks really nice (refinery ship is also done).

 

Reply #5195 from Sins Forums Top

We've long debated including Whitestars...the new minor faction system may change the original "later" approach but there is still a whole lot of core work to be done first before adding on nice to have projects.

The question is to make them super fighters or stupid fast corvettes? A frigate entity is the easiest to code but it won't behave like a WhiteStar in game. I may need to do some testing to see about adjusting the movement parameters to achieve more WhiteStar like behavior from the AI.

Reply #5196 from Sins Forums Top

Can't you just give them fighter attack and high speed and maneuverability?

Reply #5197 from Sins Forums Top

Strike craft use a different entity file system than frigates. Frigates will generally close to the  specified weapons range and then slug it out, which is decidedly un-Whitestar behavior. It will take some work to  blend the AI behavior. 

 

Reply #5198 from Sins Forums Top

Sins of the Fallen Angels had some ships with swooping behavior...I'll have to see how they did it...

Reply #5199 from Sins Forums Top

There's a line in ship entity files called "useFighterAttack" that will do what you want.

Reply #5200 from Sins Forums Top

First of all, wow! Did not check this forum like in 6 month, but it appears, that Hael-sose brought new life to it! Amazing work guys, I am really looking forward to seeing the updates live!

And since the latest topic is "white star", could not you simply give them corvette behaviour? As this would pretty much resemble the fallen angels one, yet not require digging through an old mod?
