Sins of the Fallen: Fall of Kobol

A Battlestar Galactica mod for Sins of the Solar Empire

All trademarks, logos, sounds, and video are the property of their respective owners. This fan based modification is strictly non-commercial and may not be used for any commercial purposes!

 

* This mod uses some assets from Sins of the 13th Tribe (credit will be listed in the readme when released).

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.

Well I just don't know how to open those .entity files, let alone how to edit them...Sinperium says there's some ghetto sketchy eclipse plugin you can use but I don't feel like paying for any 3rd party software...

seleuceia, the first step for opening the entity files is either convert a copy of them to txt mode from bin mode OR download the latest reference files for the expansion you are wanting to work in from a thread here in the modding area ( I think it might be stickied and near the top of page),

the second step is either try the eclipse tool you mentioned OR download notepad++ and install it.

the third step (notepad++ path)is to right mouse click on one of the entity files that you want to change and then left click on the open with and choose the notepad++ , then make the changes you want save the file and test in the dev.exe in your sins program folder (eclipse path) others can advise on as I have not used it.

repeat third step till you have all the changes you want in the game and working.

I've never watched Battlestar, but I'm guessing the Cylons will not tolerate such intrusions of trolls into their territory. :cylon:

Nor would the Colonials. :borg:

I had artifacts in the diplomacy version. All artifacts or derelict ships can be captured by colony frigates currently.

I also like the idea of graveyards or battles sites and will likely include those in random encounters which will also lay the groundwork for custom maps to utilize the code.

 
End of ZombiesRus5's quote

Fraking awesome!

Not everyone will like the idea, but in the scenario's i'm going to build, the cylons receive a signal from the system where the Cylon Colony was thought to have been destroyed, and go and investigate. They discover that it wasn't actually destroyed (although heavily damaged, we don't actually see it get destroyed in the show... it could have jumped away before being sucked into the black hole).

The Colony will be a derelict ship that can be captured in the scenario.

End of jason8648776's quote

It's a file repository that allows me to share much smaller changes with people interested in the mod while I continue development.

Releasing a full mod every time a file changes is not feasible.

 

Reply #1292 from Sins Forums Top

Ahh i understand

 

an easy way to keep up with people who are helping you make it for people who know how to copy and paste the individual files rather then the whole mod

Reply #1293 from Sins Forums Top

Updated the SVN build. Added missing target filters for Corvette and Titans and added a base for the Rogue Traders.

:waaaa:

Ya, it can be a bit tough if your new to those tools. 

I "feel" like I'm getting close to a release for what I have for Colonials, but Yarlen has also said a release is looming. I'd rather not upload anything until that occurs.

Thanks  :cylon:

Hi Z,

 

I tired to to download the version for Rebellion 1.041. However it says it could not find the web site when I clicked on the link. Did I do something wrong??

No, I had to pull that link. Dropbox banned me for 3 days as a result.

I will be releasing a Rebellion version soon'ish. I'm waiting for 1.1 to release which should be this month.

After doing some more testing, here are my thoughts:

1. The Rogue faction declare tooltips could use new strings since right now they're using the TEC ones, so we don't know what kind of faction we're choosing.

2. The final weapons upgrade for the Rogue Starbase requires the "AI Only" tech.  I take it that's part of the AI cheats?

3. Is there a way for you to disable the vanilla music while playing as the Rogues?  Hearing the TEC battle tracks play right after some techno/electronic music is pretty jarring.

4. I don't believe the Colonials have a research that lets them colonize gas giant worlds.

I believe this is controlled by Game.musicdata. I've been meaning to try zero'ing out that file to see if only Player music data is used.

It is 95% of the time. The only exception is that sometimes when fighting another player music from it's player.entity file is used, to give both sides of an epic battle their themes I guess.
