Well, this is unfortunate.  It appears as though your SVN is setup to have all the mods inside one ZombieRus5 folder since my folder structure from the SVN download looks like "Mods-Rebellion v1.041\ZombiesRus5\<Mods>\"

That's something TortoiseSVN defaulted too, it's not actually part of the repository as all the sub-mod folders are off trunk.

You should be able to setup Mods-Rebellion v1.041 as the managed SVN folder (assuming you don't already have a SVN there). This is the approach I'm using to test the SVN after uploading.

The other option is to update from SVN to a different folder like above and then copy the contents. An ant copy task would be nice with this approach as you'd only copy modified files. Downside is it makes for duplicates. I've done this when sharing a mod over dropbox.

The first option seems to work well for me though.

Yes, I can see that now after doing some digging.  Is there a way around that on my end?

I have the SoGE beta for Rebellion using SVN as well, so that's probably out.  I don't know how to set that up, in any case.

What's an ant copy task?  I don't particularly mind duplicate files if it means I can get your mod working.

Ant is a command line build tool that uses xml based scripts. I use this tool professionally as well as in my modding.

http://ant.apache.org/

* seems complicated but it's pretty simple to use

I'll upload a working build xml that can copy new files from one directory to another when I get to my home pc.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/5790092/sotf/migrate_sotf.zip

It includes the ant binaries assuming you have Java setup on your comp.

file: migrate_sotf.bat

executes ant with the migrate_build.xml as the input

.\apache-ant-1.8.2\bin\ant -buildfile migrate_build.xml

file: migrate_build.xml

Calls the ant copy task to copy modified files from one directory to another. Just change the mod.dir and mod.source.dir to reflect your file system.

<project name="Sins of the Fallen" basedir="." default="migrate">
<property file="${basedir}/migrate.properties"/>

<property name="mod.dir" value="C:\Users\ZombiesRus5\Desktop\Documents\My Games\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion\Mods-Rebellion v1.041"/>
<property name="mod.source.dir" value="C:\Users\ZombiesRus5\Desktop\Documents\My Games\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion\Mods-Rebellion v1.041/ZombiesRus5"/>

<target name="migrate">
<copy preservelastmodified="true" todir="${mod.dir}" failonerror="false">
<fileset dir="${mod.source.dir}/" includes="SotF*/**"/>
</copy>
</target>
</project>

Weird, it just gives me "URL 'http://zombiesrus5.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/%20zombiesrus5-read-only' doesn't exist" :/

Edit: NVM, I didn't remove the username. Now it is downloading. Using your 0.4 as a base, hopefully that works

Cool, we're all kinda learning here. I use a SVN plugin with Eclipse primarily so using TortoiseSVN is new to me.

trying to finish up some of the remaing icon and picture work for colonials. I really dislike this part of the modding 

So are you going to change the Starbases and Envoys icons as well? In a lot of other mods I've seen, they haven't changed these and it looks a bit silly.

Oh ya, I was just testing if that looked good or not above. I think the ship icon on top of the colonial fleet emblem works pretty well for the empire tree. Still working through some of the research tabs and what I think looks good.

I also agree it looks silly in other mods when they leave in vanilla ship or build icons, though you need someone dedicated to switching them out and skilled enough with a paint program to make something decent. All the icon work in my mods have been done solely by me and it can be fairly tedious at times given the sheer amount of icons needed.

In what order are the mods supposed to be activated?

Z.... This just looks fantastic. You have done such an unbelievable job! Wow

Thanks!

Anyone with SVN... I've checked in all the above changes as well as some rebalancing of the titan abilities. The abilities are a bit better, but still waiting on some feedback on them.

Also, some have expressed the need for a superweapon for the Colonials. I'm not opposed to one, but I don't feel the Colonials need a cannon for a superweapon. Any ideas that can reuse or mashup a current model?

Zombies, 

I've been playing with this mod on and off as it's progressed. I'm not actually set-up with the SVN, but I pulled down one of the recent versions just by going to the dropbox URL that was floating around. And I've played the older Entrenchment (or was it diplomacy) version.

First, let me say that I love the mod. I think it's coming along great. It's hard to say much about the Cylon gameplay just because they're so unfinished, but I think the Colonials are a lot of fun. The capital abilities are fun, the tech trees are great and they make sense.

There are, however, a couple things that would, in my opinion, improve the gameplay a little. The first is that I would consider reducing the number of strikecraft per squadron and upping the damage. I played a game the other day and at one point my fleet had about 180 squadrons of strike craft spread between by 15 capitals, my titan, and all my cruisers. Any time I got into a fight with the Cylons, it was almost impossible to really do anything other than sit and watch. 

There are so many ships capable of fielding strikecraft that the numbers get out of control pretty quickly. Reducing the number of actual polygons out there by downsizing squadrons and increasing damage might help.

My second complaint, and this isn't necessarily limited to your mod but includes Sins in general, is that there's a critical mass where trying to micromanage abilities on capital ships becomes futile. Early on, you can micro your capitals' abilities to great effect. But as the game progresses and fleet sizes begin to swell, it becomes less and less practical.

I've had numerous battles where the Cylons attack me with a couple capitals, a titan, and dozens and dozens of heavy basestars and carrier basestars. It's incredibly hard to manage and micro in any meaningful way when there are hundreds of ships on the field. This also contributes to the overall lag in the endgame. 

I don't know how feasible this is, but I feel as though the gameplay might be better served with an across the board increase of damage, hitpoints, cost, and fleet supply cost to a lot of ships. Reduce the number of ships on the field but make each one a little more potent to compensate. Your fleet could still be pumping out the same amount of damage, as would the enemy's, but you'd have fewer ships to actually manage. It would make micromanagement of of ship abilities a little easier and it would improve performance to not have a Cylon force of 2 capitals, a titan, 20 heavy basestars, 20 carrier basestars, and a ton of smaller ships fighting 15 capitals, a titan, 15 or so Asgard battlestars, and a handful of support ships. Plus literally hundreds of SC squadrons between both forces.

I don't really know what I'm talking about here, just general feelings I've had playing the mod. There's a point in the endgame where I find myself throwing my hands in the air and just watching battles because it's very hard to actually exert any meaningful control when there's just a gigantic blob of ships. And maybe it's because I want big capital battlestars and basestars in general to have a more epic feel to it. It makes sense from a Sins perspective because Sins is all about having incredibly huge fleets, but seeing 30 Heavy Basestars on the field doesn't make a lot of sense from the perspective of the BSG universe.

It just makes a little more sense in my head for both the capitals and larger cruisers on both sides to be a little larger, meaner, costlier, and less common-seeming.

I don't know if this is helpful. Feel free to disregard me if you like! But keep up the good work. I'm excited for the finished product.

ZombiesRus5, I feel that the Colonial Rebels are a poor choice compared to the Colonial Loyalists simply because the Loyalists get some very useful Civilian technologies and more technologies overall whereas the Rebels have a much smaller tech tree.  Perhaps give the Rebels some additional researches to boost their weapon DPS?

EDIT: Eager to try out the Archailects when you get them working.  Go transhumanity!

Hello everyone and thanks for working on this great mod! I have played Sins of the 13th tribe and loved it, even though it never got finished.

Question: I can not expand the 7Z files from www.gamefront.com

Did anyone else have this problem? Are these regularly zipped 7Z files?

Thanks a lot!

Some shotgun approach right now. Loyalists definitely have the edge currently but I plan to add additional techs to the rebels.

For some reason some people have issues with the 7z files. Are you using 7zip? Do you have the latest version of 7zip?

Oh, something I forgot to mention: Superior Colonization can't be researched since it requires two levels in Colonial Loyalist, a one level research.

@Carnagepants 

you have a lot of comments and I'm kinda tired after being up from 10pm to 6am last night for work so I'll try and address your comments tomorrow. 

And another thing: Cygnus Gunstar High Explosive Warheads ability has zero damage from level 2 onwards.

Ya, the abilities are stubbed in... You are the first to comment. I asked for assistance earlier and no one stepped up.

Thanks for reading my post. I am using the file form 7-Zip.org (7-Zip 9.20 (2010-11-18) for Windows).

Which unzipper did you use successfully?

Thanks again!

Same version. possibly a bad download?
