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 Tacitus_Germanicus, reply 1775
Thoumsin:  Is it really that important that the fighters have a high poly count? In game you rarely see them up close after all. Keeping them in the general "shape" of the Vorlon fighters may be enough?

 



 

 

It does matter in late game because the more objects you have aka fighter craft with high poly count the SLOWER the game will run, you also run into the 2 gb limit the game has and causes a crash. With fighters you have literally thousands of them flying around in battles. Your fighters along with the other races all add up, doesn't matter if it's one opponent or 2 or 3, they all add up and that eats up memory

@Tacitus_Germanicus
As I said before, it is OK for me if you post the modified files as archive (and only them please), as long as you post them in a seperate thread ( but you can post the link to that thread here), as I don't want to answer questions related to your modifications.

As for the Vorlon planet killer, it will most likely be modified and some weaponry added. Though it won't be too much ( as not to completely overpower that ship )

EternalRequiem: I wrote in a way that I hoped wouldn't be misinterpeted. But appareantly not. What I meant was that because of the 2 gb limit (of which I am aware) maybe the Vorlon fighters needn't have a high polycount as you seldom actually zoom in and see the fighters anyway.

Reply #1781 from Sins Forums Top

Well, I rather often zoom in on the Aurora Starfury and like it when it's looking good. We won't waste polygons, believe me ( and thoumsin / Fileosoft for that matter ) but we enjoy high quality visuals. Also, having more fighters of a high poly fighter should to my understanding not increase the memory the fighter mesh takes up, as it is not transformed or modified but just reused over and over again. Perhaps my understanding is wrong, but the additional mem should come from the data the fighter ( not the mesh of it, but the game data like position, speed, angle and so forth ) takes up.

Hi again guys,

 

I've been playing the mod for the past few weeks now (not so much since starcraft 2 came out), but still quite often. The only problem I have with the game is it looks so good that I start zooming in and taking photos for my desktop. It really does look outstanding.

My personal fav's are the narn and vorlon, but basically everything I've seen so far is simply stunning.

It's been at least 6 months since I've seen any B5, but once again I'm watching (for the Idontknowth time) mainly due to starting music you used from season 5.

Congratulations on what you've all managed so far, and thank you all for putting in the work to get this done- It really is wonderful.

 

Reply #1783 from Sins Forums Top

First in regards to the fighters I always zoom in on the Starfurys and enjoy watching the battle from their perspective from time to time, I think it is fantastic how detailed even the fighters are. Second I did the same thing Anthony, When I heard that Season 5 music I had to start watching the whole series again. Third that was one hell of an error report from Loooseer hahaha, quite detailed.

Reply #1784 from Sins Forums Top

Thanks all of you for giving such wonderful feedback! Thats what keeps the train going. ^_^'

I really hope no one can do anything legal to me over the short intro sequence I used from the season 5, I love that intro, makes me shiver. Other than that, all new music is made by HawkWall, praises to him for these glorious pieces.

 

Reply #1788 from Sins Forums Top

It should.  At least it has three hardpoints and a delay. But I need to tweak the effect still ( yours was fine visually, but the range was much to far )

But effect tweaking and creation will take place later.

Reply #1789 from Sins Forums Top

Thanks for answer. But one "Nial" in battle cost as 9-11 "Starfury" [kill/death ratio] and maybe need enlarge speed, hull points, weapon power - but for balance, enlarge construction time and antimatter.

Reply #1790 from Sins Forums Top

@Zvezdochets
I will look into balancing once I put all the entity files into my database ( which I'm currently developing ) so to more easy compare the different ship values and balance them.

Reply #1791 from Sins Forums Top

Wonderful work!

Tobiwahn!

Koobalt!

Zvezdochets!

Thoumsin!

Sorry B5 team/fans my time is so limited - working 6 days a week - gives me minimal amount of time I would wish to offer this epic mod ...

But, am always impressed by the quality of work you've all produced ...

Still here, but for just brief amounts of time:(

Keep up the good work!

Reply #1795 from Sins Forums Top

Jiiihhaaa!! Im looking forward to it!!

Reply #1796 from Sins Forums Top

about next job maybe T'Loth/T'Rakk/Narn StarBase ?? 3 models on 1 UV map

Reply #1797 from Sins Forums Top

Hi all -- I had an idea when I was thinking about the mod this morning.  I don't know if it is possible, but when playing the Centauri, could there be an option to hire the Shadows for missions from the Pirate's screen?  I would foresee this as an option only for the Centauri.  Probably it won't work with the architecture of the program, but I thought I would ask.

 

Also, for the Pirates -- is there any thought as to changing their ship designs to match those of the Raiders? 

Reply #1798 from Sins Forums Top

Raiders as pirates, this I believe is already planned

Reply #1799 from Sins Forums Top

Yep, we can't make it so only centauri have them. Sorry ( and good it is, would be very overpowered )

@SteinerX

Well, we have a lot of Narn Ships awaiting textureing :grin:

 

I made a new Folder on Dropbox ( under modding ) called Textureing, where all the models awaiting textureing are located. Best to begin with the DagKar or ShoKas, as the GVrahn should be overlooked by me again for AO issues
