LinkesAuge was kind enough to give me access to post Dawn of Victory updates, and I think anyone who seriously wants so promote their mod should give it a try.

The solar system is more then likely going to be in the mod, but we're going to be doing it ourselves most likely.

Very exciting update today, it’s our 2 year anniversary of the announcement of the mod, even though almost everything has changed since then. I won’t bore you any longer with this text nobody reads, and instead have a ton of screenshots, renders and concepts. Slavny Class Light Cruisers and Interceptors over the recently captured Galleria System.

Its a nice image I guess, but not really worth making a new topic for. Its not like nobody else could figure out how to type "starship comparison" in google.

Right, for those of you wondering how the DoV story came about, I've written a little history of what happened. [link="http://forums.slipstreamproductions.net/index.php?showtopic=5024&st=0#entry107079"]As seen here[/link]

Sorry for the huge images, Computer is a Blackbird 002, with Quadcore 3.0ghz, 4gb ram, dual 8800 ultras, etc etc. The two older monitors are hooked up to a second computer, which is about 6 years old and falling apart.

Getting Your Mod Made in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

I don’t consider myself a venerable expert on modding, but I’ve been involved with various mods for about 5 years and am currently developing Dawn of Victory, for Sins of a Solar Empire. Making any sort of mod, let alone a total conversion, takes a lot of work, but it seems to me that many people forget that when trying to start one. With this in mind I’ve wrote some points

[quote]Dragon, not to be mean, but shut up. It's NOT easy, it takes a LONG time to get decent with moddeling, and textureing. While he could do it, it'd look like some crap a three year old puked up.

Reply to Expelled: Is Intelligent Design a Science? in Everything Else Sins Forums

The only interesting thing about “Expelled” is how P. Z. Myers was refused entry to its premier, even though he appeared in the film. What kind of idiot “expels” a vocal opponent of intelligent design, from a screening about how we shouldn’t expel people who believe different things?

maybe you could just let that go too.

Reply to Dawn of Victory - Total Conversion: Use the newer thread idiots. in Sins Modding Sins Forums

The mod has Space Nazis fighting Space Communists, the characteristics of the fighter planes are hardly the most pressing inaccuracy. So maybe we could just give this whole thing a rest.

Reply to Dawn of Victory - Total Conversion: Use the newer thread idiots. in Sins Modding Sins Forums

We really can’t provide any sort of estimated release time on a mod like this. Our team is made entirely of volunteers and things like work and school tend to get in the way of modding. The best way to help DoV get released sooner is to just spread the word.

Its very easy to promise tons of new races and ships, buts its somewhat more difficult to find people to model them, skin them, and get them working ingame. Having Japan as a playable side, lots of minor races, etc, would be awesome. But for now were going to concentrate on our first release. edit: as for Superweapons, there still in development. But the Soviet one isn't so much a weapon as a massive ships with lots of weapons on it.

That is currently classified. I'd advise to keep checking our forums for updates.

Don't think you can.

Actually, the GalCiv2 mod is much newer having been announced 3 months after Dawn of Victory switched to Sins. It went into beta around August and is available to any who apply. I'm really the only one working on it, as its more of a side project.

Currently, the Scouts are still being launched from Capital Ships, but we are very close to getting them to act as an independent unit.

Sorry, one more question/problem. I’ve been trying to upload my video to GameTrailers all night, but I keep getting various errors and timeouts. Is there any other way to submit it?

So is 50mb the absolute limit for both the standard def, and high def entries? It seems almost impossible to get the high def video under 50mb, and the standard def ruins the widescreen.
