It'll be up late tonight, I'm also working on new shield meshes for some units which lack them.

Some things turned out to be a bit troublesome, I've fixed them, but I have to go sleep. Release is tomorrow instead.

Were you expecting a release for Entrenchment? Too bad! You get Rebellion instead. That final Entrenchment patch might come soon, if at all, but for now enjoy this. When extracted the mod is around 2.27 GB in size. The readme bundled with the rar can be seen at the bottom of this post.

For SoaSE: Rebellion, your mods folder can be found in:

This release also includes the Vong. The AI will properly use their ships now, like the other factions. Also, I'm aware that there's some sort of crash occurring early-game due to either the Vong (most likely), Imperials, or NR. It's most likely related to abilities; I had an autosave of it but lost that save.

=============================================

Hello and welcome to the first release of Sins of a Galactic Empire for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion! This version of the mod is currently in alpha, so there are some things missing, other things broken, though on the whole it runs fairly smoothly. There are some known issues with it:
-Abilities have a maximum of 2 levels, down from 3. This is a temporary thing, and was done in order to speed up the release of this alpha
-Titans (supercaps) currently have no abilities, this will be fixed in the future
-All maps are broken except for the Small Random map; Lavo, Ludo, and others are currently working on converting maps for use in SoGE in Rebellion
-Flagship victory doesn't work
-Research and Diplomatic victories will not work well
-Occupation victory is borked as the planet spawns without a militia, this is being worked on

If you ever experience a minidump, do the following:
1) Reload your latest autosave, continue as before the dump occured, to see if it happens again.
2) If it happens again, send in your latest autosave and tell us what factions you were using. Do not send the minidump log/report; we can't get any use out of it.

As with the beta of Entrenchment, SoGE uses stackable minimods.

To activate the mod, open the EnabledMods.txt file present in the aformented folder and edit in the mod like so (this includes all races, like file included in this rar; make sure to leave a blank space at the bottom of the txt file):

TXT
Version 0
enabledModNameCount 6
enabledModName "SoGE Beta Ent - Alliance"
enabledModName "SoGE Beta Ent - CIS"
enabledModName "SoGE Beta Ent - New Republic"
enabledModName "SoGE Beta Ent - Republic"
enabledModName "SoGE Beta Ent - Vong"
enabledModName "SoGE Beta Ent - CORE"

In order to reduce RAM, it's recommend to remove the modules/mini-mods that you aren't using, and update the enabledModNameCount accordingly. For example, if you're playing a game with the Empire, Alliance, and New Republic, you don't need to load up the CIS', Republic's, Vong's assets. It doesn't matter what order you load the mods in, as long as the CORE is on the bottom of the list.

Okay, I was wondering. There are four parts, which confuses me. Part one with the same contents as part four, and the same for 2 and 3. How do i set this up?

Download all four parts, extract the first. It's a multi-part rar; aka. one single archive split up into four parts. It had to be done in order for me to upload it.

OMG, this is so complicated!

All fear the imminent invasion of the Zombie Trolls!

I know right?

It's a brilliant set up you got going with the stackable mods; it's such an effective way to reduce RAM without removing content from the game itself. I once again tip my hat to you for figuring it out good sir.

I can't play this mod on the small random map it crashes before they even start, so I can't really tell you what is wrong.

Lol as if you are the one to talk.

Several of the files in downloads 2-4 are broken for me, and I can't complete extraction. Anybody else having this issue?

Great, now I'm being trolled.

i think zombies is way more complicated

but still doable lol

Its not that complicated when someone gives you the exact order to put them in, in a README.

But us modders cant fix stupid. Thats hardcoded.

Sorry for saying this again, but parts 2 through 4 I cannot extract. It says they have borken files in them, mainly sound files. Anybody else running into this issue?

No im not.

And this mod is like 3 times better than when i last tried it- and this its alpha.

Still huge amount of bugs- like a wide plains terran planet thing had less militia than an asteroid.

Do about 95% of the ships not have renderings for anyone else? Most of the ships I see are invisible, yet still fire their weapons.

I couldn't get my Supercapitals to build. Got the foundry and research. The build wouldn't start.

Loved the music, as usual.

Your funny.

The mod is great except the issue with the planet income. So far the majority of the planets won't go positive on the credit earnings.

I couldn't get my Supercapitals to build. Got the foundry and research. The build wouldn't start.

Loved the music, as usual.

I played as the Republic and i had to research all the way to the second super capital to fully build one, so check the info on the research item to see what you need to research to build it 100%

Or so I'm told... often

It really is a good pattern and I'm glad to see someone else following it. I know people "understand" the 2GB limit with Sins, but I don't think they truly understand the versatility this gives modders beyond just the memory limitations.

I also have one more package to download for SoGE and then I plan to try out your rebellion conversion.

Unzipping

stalk10.ogg FILE IS BROKEN

using 7z

hmmmm going to ditch a dummy file in there

Some epic looking ships hehe and all the sounds are immense

Depends on the planets in particular. Some planets, such as a Low Terran or Savannah, aren't worth as much as an Asteroid Shipyard, for example.

Could you perchance give me a list of broken sound files? I'll include them in the next patch to address this.

I plan to use this to be able to make a stackable addon or two. The fact that this lets you do all sorts of addons, or even entire other mods when done right, is amazing.

That's intentional. Seems odd I know, but just wait until you find a planet with large amounts of income, or you sell off some resources.

This is intentional; the supercapital system truly is a WIP, in the future you will not spawn them via the factory but via ability, this gets around the 1 Titan per faction limit and the respawn with experience bit. The AI however will have exclusive access to a Titan Factory, mainly as it's too stupid to properly use the ability spawn, and I can go into more detail, but I like keeping a surprise or two.

I haven't seen this, in my very limited testing. Have you got a list perchance?

I probably should have been more specific.

After some more testing, I found that the ships show up for a few minutes at the start of the game, but after awhile, most of them lose they're renderings. Both the Imperial caps, the Jedi Venator, I think every Imp frigate and Cruiser except the Carrack... Basically there's only a select few ships in the whole game that keep their renderings after a select amount of time, usually about 10-15 minutes. Structures seem okay, but I didn't check them all.

I looked around the entity files. Didn't see anything that could cause this.

Also, got that crash you mentioned with the NR. I disabled the Vong from the start, looking to avoid it. With the NR, there it was.

And finally, I figured out how to get custom maps working for SoGE. Sort of. Just replace Rebellion's GalaxyScenerio.def file with the mod's. Then make your map. It loads up fine. Not sure if that will help you guys or not.
