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"

Looking good :thumbsup:

 

I have been very buisy with tests for the last week and from the end of the previous week. I will be working on the EA tech again this week. I hope to have a good draft of all the tech in place by the end of next week so that we can then work on the descreptions along with the cost/time ect.

Something to think about is how long we want the time lines for this game. Personally it seams that in B5 there are a heavy use of cap ships. A lot more than how regular sins works. I personally think it should take longer to research the tech for a cap ship then to build one.

As far as the dynamics go, yes I know that is more something to worry about later on when the basics are done, I think that becuase fleets can basically go anywhere on the map at will the strats will rely on the use of many smaller fleets with 1-2 cap ships. If you even look at the initial EA expedition to minbari territory they had quite a few cap ships along with supporting frigits.

Worst case I can actually create some balencing equasions that I am learning in economic stat right now that would allow us to mathmatically balence the races overall power but still give them very different strengths and weaknesses. This would logically work by assuming that the three basic races to the current game are equal; however, more advance formulas could be developed.

EA Omega Update WIP2 (Main Hull)

Still a lot more work to do ... just an update!

Reply #507 from Sins Forums Top

Impressive! You have talent in 3d texture work ! About "RAM ability" - no problem! Use buff with spacemine and in other file write radius and damage (may use effect with neytron torpedoB) ).

If need - i make this ability (earlier i use this ability on cobalt frigate [kamikaze-run] against big ships.

Question - about "damage radius" 1,2 km ? And damage - how many points ?

P.S: about "Myrmidon": this ship not have many detail and not too nice like "Omega" "Olympus", "Explorer" and many others ...:'(  and main problem - on this ship i not find good schemes, only photo [like "Marathon"]

Thanks as is your work:) Yes! Could be an interesting option to ram...

Reply #509 from Sins Forums Top

For big ships like "Warlock" or "Marathon" need create special big missiles [like "neutron torpedo"] and deploy their as spacemine - but he immediately fly on targets. Enemy may destroy missile use normal weapon.

Especially if he use beam weapon. Fighters be work not only as fighters or strike craft but and as anti-missile weapons.

When i ended i send ability to SteinerX.

About spacemine for EA: in film "In the Beginning" says about nuclear weapon onboard EA ships. Maybe use ability - deploy mines [1-3] ? Use against minbari [allure on mine field].

Reply #510 from Sins Forums Top

Thanks! About the myrmidon, this ship should also not have many polygons, as it is cheap as chips.

 

About ability, cantact EvilTesly-RG for the ability to ram, he may have some nice input for you. He's a master of abilities.

RamAbility - not a problem. I try and very interests.

About EvilTesly-RG - more interest self made miscellaneouses ability-_-

P.S: now use "destroyable" rockets against pirate - after launch six missiles - only 1 (!) missile damage cruiser.:|

Others - destroyed.

EA Omega Update WIP2 (Main Hull)











Still a lot more work to do ... just an update!

 

Very nice!  Might I make a suggestion?  Could you add an 'O' to the lower and right of the EA logo?  All EA ships have the first letter of their name located there.  Example.

Thanks for the ability Zvezdochets, but I as of now refuse to try to download from Rapidshare - it's always overloaded and I don't want to pay for downloads.

P.S: now work on "Monsoon" gunboat [crusade era]. Nice ship. On this time - 3.0 tri and soon finish his.

Like earth "White star" small and good armed. And "Tillmann" battleship [non-canonical]. We all have done nearly all EA ships ...:'(

A very nice sugguestion ... it does look good, but the letter becomes visable on the inner side ... for now ... perhaps a future mesh ...

@Zvezdochets

If you feel confident and capable, you might try something different. How about babylon 4 and 5 stations ( using about 10 to 12 k polygons)?

I'm sure you can do it. ^_^'

Need use few section [like omega] or use only one mesh ?

P.S: i not start work on station maybe later when we finish work on others ships [explorer, hyperion and others].

Motivation is disappeared:cylon:

Reply #518 from Sins Forums Top

A rotating section would be wonderful, but perhaps we try to use the conventional approach first, and then try to do the rotating version

Reply #519 from Sins Forums Top

nice. rotating version is what makes the bab5 ships so different. a static one will look a little strange but will be ok i guess. I wonder whether the symetric or diagonal look is best

Reply #520 from Sins Forums Top

What symmetric or diagonal look?

Reply #521 from Sins Forums Top

choosing a static point that the rotating part stays in. some look wierd.

You do know that, in their mod, the part does rotate? It won't be static in the mod itself.

Reply #525 from Sins Forums Top

The Omega rotation looks nice ingame!

Tobi's just ironing out a few issues with the mesh ... finalish tex. - cl

.da and .nm textures to go all being well!
