Starbase Tier Mod [Probably Solved]

from Sins Forums

Hello,

I am new at modding, and I am trying to change just one simple thing I would really like to be different in the game. Starbases have only 8 upgradepoints available in ENtrenchment, and I would like to be able to have starbases with all the upgrades unlocked at once (to have all tiers at their max lavel at the same time). I have changed the maxUpgradeLevelCount to 17 for the Tech, 20 for the Advent and also the max level for the Vasari needed to have all upgrades available at the same time. However, when I apply the mod in Entrenchment (yes, I have the latest version), I am able to build a starbase, but when I have done so it doesnt appear in the game. When I zoom out I can see the starbase is actually inside the gravity well I placed it in, but when I select it and press spacebar top focus the camera on it, no object appears in view and I am unable to zoom in or out. When I have selected the starbase, it does say that I have more than the default 8 upgrades available, and I am also able to actually purchase these upgrades but still the starbase does not appear in the gravity well. It doesnt attack incoming enemies either, even though the game convinces me the starbase is present. I am convinced there should be a simple solution to this problem, but I just can't discover what it is. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance,

Did you use an updated file from the latest version of sins and not from the ReferenceData that comes with the tools?

No, I used the files that come with the ReferenceData map in the ForgeTools. I think I might have to change some other files but I have no idea where to look. Thanks for your reply anyway IskatuMesk. I appreciate your help.

^That is probably the source of your problems. The Reference data files are out of date, I'm surprised your mod didn't crash at the start if you used them as the base. Anyways, to get the real files you'll have to find a binary to text converter so you can mod a copy of the current game files (Though I'm not sure if they have been updated to 1.05 yet).

Thanks for your reply GoaFan77. This should explain why the starbases didn't show up. I will start looking for a Binary-to-Text converter right away. If you know one that works really well, feel free to tell me! Hopefully my mod will work if I use the correct files. +1 karma for you:thumbsup:
