Babylon 5 mod effort for Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion

This is the story of the last of the Babylon 5 mod-efforts. It's goal, to prevent another failure, by creating a place to solve our problems collaboratively. Its a port of call, home away from home, for modelers, texturers, programmers and sound engineers.

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 |-)  

I've been working on adding light effects to textures. Can't do that with ZBrush, so I've installed Blender. Takes time to learn though; but I'm getting there. Also I've been working on how tech trees work and ship abilities. Lot's of trial and error hehe.

I did complete the Refinement Vessel. And the Colony Vessel now has colonize animation and effects. Plus, I've added a long range Capital ship (so now the Vorlon have a close encounter/tank Capital, a siege Capital, a Carrier Capital and a long range Capital). I'll post some pictures somewhere this week.

That would complete the Vorlon race. For testing purposes, I've made a minimod that just adds the Vorlon as a playable race to the base game, with token abilities and tech tree. A bit of time went into that as well.

Next on the list after I've done my lighting, is I think the Narn scout vessel; it is the earliest ship you can build for Narns and it's still a black box; can't have that O:)

Love the Narn ships!

@TobiWahn_Kenobi manages the releases, I really don't  know the timetables.

Vorlon starbase transport

From concept to ingame. The Starbase starts as a capital ship (Starbase Transport), and can be deployed (first only vertically) and opened up to 'hang' as Starbase. I wonder if I should let it revert to transport mode again for redeployement :)

The AI can't handle capital starbase constructors, so I have to also have it as a frigate with the starbaseconstructor roletype, hidden from players and available only for the AI.. but for upgrades, I don't know how to hide research from the research window.

Tech have a grid coordinate system to populate the 2D icons, just ensure the hidden tech has a grid coordinate that is off the page and its hidden.

Is there any plans to do a release soon? I noticed that it has been over a year since the last real update and there is alot of cool content based on the thread. I have played this mod for quite some time and am excited to see what all is added after a year.

Hi guys,

sorry, real life is a bitch. 

@Hael-Sose
Wow!! Looks awesome. 

@New release
I'm not sure I can manage this anymore (well, I didn't for the past year). If there is somebody who is willing to take over for me I would provide all Models, Textures, ModDB, basically everything I have under the premise that the readme as it exists now is included and credit is give to all those who have worked on it.

TobiWahn,

Sorry too hear life of late has provided you with excess entropy. I don't have the time or technical chops to pick up the lead.

On a side note since last we spoke I've become a grandfather to twin girls...

I think I'll be able to do that. And of course the premise will be honored.
