Planet Bonuses and Solar Sins/Sins Plus

from Sins Forums

I am trying to build a custom map with different bonuses and penalties and such. I have downloaded Sins Plus and Solar Sins for use in Galaxy Forge by following the link in the Sins Plus forum post. In order to make the map will i need to download and install the mods as well? I am only seeing the one bonus in the field still and not the 66+ I should be seeing.

Another question: Has anyone tried them in diplomacy? Does it work at all or do I need to create a mod from scratch that will allow me to create this map? ( I sure hope not lol ) 

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

The bonuses need to be added to a mod, they're entity files in the GameInfo folder and also need to be added to the entity.manifest. Then you need the bonus texture sheet and that is access by brush files in the Window folder.

Then add the bonuses to all the Planet.entity files.

And thats to just get the bonuses. Good luck. 

I am importing Sins Plus in my diplomacy mod now. The bonuses do work but all the info added to the  GalaxyScenarioDef.galaxyScenarioDef is giving me a hell of a time.

Thanks. Another issue that all of us are running into is installing a mod into the mod folder and not having it show up in game. Is this something that we are all doing on this end?

We all use xp and are in:

C:\Documents and Settings\{USER NAME}\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Diplomacy v1.011

Any other help would be greatly appreciated.
