Quick synopsis

This mod introduces the colonial and cylon factions to the Sins of the Fallen universe. Both races will be playable with any of the planets, addons, and races included in Sins of the Fallen including the stock races. Both the colonial and cylon's factions will be balanced against the stock factions to support this approach. 

 

Colonial Fleet

Relying on heavily armored and armed ships the colonial fleet is always on the defense looking for cylon incursions. Lacking shields of any kind Battlestar Point Defense systems are used to intercept incoming weapons and minimize damage to nearby frigates and cruisers supporting the fleet.

Quoting Stalcore, reply 851

Quoting John_Coffey, reply 850Hey guys I'm sorry to be a pain but I just downloaded this mod and have been trying to enable it in diplomacy. However every time I try I get a minidump and the game crashes. Is there a specific way to install this (and I apologise if the instructions are in an obvious place that I missed) or does a computer need to be above a certain performance level for it to work? Sorry again but I am dying to try this mod.

Go here. Sin's of the fallen and blood and chrome work the same way. End of Stalcore's quote

So... I have made a couple of decisions regarding Rebellion for SotF.

Priority will be given to factions that have actual Titan models. This of course means Colonial and Cylons will be the first factions moved to Rebellion (say thanks to Koobalt). Once they are in and functional I'll be gutting their research trees and abilities and designing all new stuff for them. My question to you guys is do you want a playable version of Colonials and Cylons for Rebellion (i.e. basically what is here now + Titans with stock abilities) before I start gutting. I estimate designing/coding new abilities and research trees for everything will take 6-9 months to complete.

 

Reply #855 from Sins Forums Top

What we have now is very good in my opinion, just add the Titans, and i can start Colonial extermination:cylon:

 

About the other faction from Sotf if you want and give me some sketch/schematics ideas i can model some titans, but as my free time is limited it want be to fast...

Reply #856 from Sins Forums Top

Hehehe, I agree Koobalt... die Colonial scum!!! 

Yep, would be awesome to have a playable version for rebellion... considering that the only reason I'm interested in Rebellion is so that I can play this mod with Titans in it. 

Koobalt.. For the other SoTF races, why cant we just convert one of the capitals over to a Titan? I can see a few capitals that would make pretty cool titans for the other races. You could remove one of the capital ship slots and just bump it up to a Titan. The tech trees and everything else has already been done for the other races too hasn't it? This would speed up the move to Rebellion for the other races.

yeah would be great to have a playable version for Rebellion before you gut it. 

Reply #858 from Sins Forums Top

Yea... since it may take that long, i'd LOVE a playable version now... cause in about that amount of time i leave for the marines, and i want to play before that.

Well, that's a good enough reason for me. Don't need any more convincing.

I hate to give dates and shit because anything can happen. But based on my previous test conversions I believe I could have a working version of Colonials and Cylons in Rebellion in July. Biggest effort will be meshing and wiring up the colonial titans which I just haven't had much free time to do on that yet.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but how long until the Rebellion version? I have both Rebellion and Trinity, but Trinity and it's mods are holding over 25.5 gbs on and my hardrive needs some space, so I was thinking about deleting it.

I already answered this question a couple replies up. No worries if you delete it or not. I make the mods first and foremost for myself.

First iteration is looking good. I was able to get the cylons working in Rebellion. Now just need to get the titans wired up.

Thats AWESOME Z... cant wait...

Reply #867 from Sins Forums Top

Here's the first iteration with a titan for the cylons. I also cleaned up a bit of the research so it wasn't really awful. Now it's just sorta awful.

This is going to be, simply put, awesome.

Cannot wait for colonials... i want me another fleet of battlestars, with the titan leading the way!

EDIT: Also.... how much do you want in terms of bugs? =P I'm sure all you're doing is porting over, so you probably arent concerned right now, but i thought i'd ask. 

And actually, this might be important... Just as i finished building the cylon colony, i lost all sight of the phase lanes, and then the game didn't even minidump, it just crashed.

What affects were you running with? You probably ran out of memory.

I'll add it worked fine for me building a colony, but I made sure my settings weren't maxed out.

Ok, on this note, yes this was a quick port over and not "fully" tested. 

That said I'd be interested in wierd model/mesh issues. I already noticed and knew about on a different model where damage particles like fire seem to come out of no where next to the model ;)

Maybe wierd lighting issue or texture issues I haven't noticed yet would be good.

I had them all on medium. It had to be maybe 25 minutes into the game, i built the colony, and gave it one level on each of the passives to hull/weapons. Then, boom. Medium map, 3 normal AIs, each on random.

In terms of lighting/effects bugs, i noted that the missiles fired from the basestar capital ship didn't have an impact effect, as in there was no explosion for each missile.

I did absolutely love seeing/hearing the autocannons on the Resurrection Ship as it fired almost continuously... that is exactly how it should be, IMO.

Ok, I'll try recreating that one. Seems pretty straight forward to try. I basically uploaded this as soon as I verified it would load in Rebellion correctly ;)

Probably one of the rebellion changes in particle effects. It's probably pointing at an old effect that no longer works/exists. Probably some more things like this too.

I still haven't been able to recreate this yet. Who knows right now. It's my first build out with rebellion so all kinds of things could still be wonky ;)

Reply #874 from Sins Forums Top

Well I'll keep trying, if it happens again i'll try to pay more attention to everything else that's going on.

Even buggy, you're still awesome for pushing this out fast. Still can't wait for battlestars... }:)

I imagine that in future versions you will add the Boomer class as a Titan? Or is it already in there?
