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"

@ Zvezdochet: Nice model!! Please send to me!! I beg you :pout:

 

@ZEROibis: It will take a little while, cause I still got to get my mesh in order and then redo the texture. Besides that, I'm on (a much needed) vacation next week and will have no internet access so please be patient with me as I have to attend a marriage this weekend and not much time until the weekend thereafter. Perhaps I will release an intermittend release before I go on vacation (I hope so) but I cannot guarantee this.

 

I also think about redoing the texture of the Jumpgate (as fileosoft has educated me on the proper use of UV maps) but we'll see how much time I can afford for that. Other than that, progress is being made!

 

Cheers!

Yeah, but model Thunderbolt now end - i send you Thunderbolt together with Tigerfury. On days.:ninja:

And one question: yours model Starfury - Nova-class or Aurora ?

And you receive my model ?

I modeled after Aurora, as I have no template for Nova. BTW. gratulations on using so little polygons! Thats magnificent.
Thanks to you we have now more models in less time than I thought possible!!

 

I just hope I can finish the mesh of my own model soon and then start to texture your works!!

Thanks for good words! I tried spare polygons, but EA ships very easy. Nova as i see [on image "EA-ships":grin: ] little diffirent from Aurora. And more - i never search template on Firebolt fighter:hugme: . In description table game B5 Wars - Firebolt may carry heavy rockets, like torpedo-bomber. Still search.

P.S: in list fighters you forgot "Zephyr" - old light starfighter.

Reply #130 from Sins Forums Top

Yep, I did. I included at first only the models from the ACAT miniature game (mongoose publishing), the successor to the B5 Wars IIRC. This did not include the Zephyr. If you make a model i might include that but I need some info of armarment and in-service date first. And I don't know if anybody would be using the zephyr if it were so old and outdated ^_^

Ahh that one fighter. Wanted to do them just for raiders. (as well as a mothership and stuff)

Equipped narn heavy cannons [in research trees] they fighter may very effective destroy tankers and civil ships.

If make fighters like "frigates", he may do phase travel like big ships.

About "Firebolt" - he based on "Thunderbolt", but with few heavy rocket. May add "Thunder'' like "Firebolt" and equip long-range rockets ? Like "Thorun".

SteinerX - thanks, i rework 3d model [not my] and reduce polygons. In this base model - 10k polygons. I try to 1.0 - 1.4k 

P.S: reduce only to 1.7k poly, because in fighter too many important detail. [only on engine - 0.6k!]

P.P.S: on image - interceptor "Thunderbolt" launch two anti ship rockets in vasari scout. I did three types weapons, and i think missile need use only on capship [add in .entity]

Reply #135 from Sins Forums Top

What is Thorun? Don't know that one.

 

Jep, would be good to have the raider fighters as a frigate as well as a fighter (for the mothership).

Reply #136 from Sins Forums Top

What is Thorun? Don't know that one.

Main Dilgar fighter. Heavy fighter.

P.S: on celestiamotherlode.net i download "Zephyr" model. Now W.I.P:blush:

P.P.S: Already no. Ended, but 1162 poly.

Yess, damn, I meant pirates. But seems you figured it out :blush:

Greetings all of you!

 

First - that Thunderbolt looks amazing!

Second - The AI tests are not at all done (or even begun). All Input is appreciated.

 

And last (but not least) I'm sorry not to have rleased in a long time ( > to weeks) and it will take about another week before I will release the next update. I will go on a much needed vacation next week and tomorrow I have to attend the wedding of a good friend of mine so I might not have any time to work on the mod till I get back. I hope though that after I come back there will be plenty of new stuff ready to be released. I hope you enjoy the coming week and please be patient.

 

Yours TobiWahn Kenobi

Thanks too! And i have idea about EA defence satellite, as named G.O.D. In "Call to arms" one shot destroy drakh ship.

http://www.b5tech.com/earthalliance/earthallianceshipsandvessels/earthotherships/godsat.html

And about EA space station: in film "B-5:In the beginning" i see military EA station (before destroy) - and in table game B5 Wars named "Orion starbase".

Thanks again Zvezdochets! Great work!
