Reply to How to make Sins play faster in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

yeah, I did that mod, it wasn't instant for some reason, it still took about 1 1/2 seconds for some reason and you still spent 2 minutes clicking through it all the biggest problem with it though was that the A.I. didn't adjust to it very well. And Pbhead, that's why I said FAST and BRUTAL. It's the whole point of it. you can start hitting each other with heavy cruisers right away. though you'd need my mod that removes the fleet size tax because otherwise you'd start

How to make Sins play faster in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

Adding an option to the menu with quickstart and all that, something along the lines of a "starting research level" that would allow you to set which tier level has been already researched when you start. Say you pick 8. with everything already researched it would make for a fast brutal game. That and I wouldn't spend 2 hours researching stuff. Basically, like the starting age in Age of Empires 2. If you choose an intermediate tier, you would only need 1 research lab t

Thanks. I downloaded it but when I used it it said "convertdata not found for the expansion chosen. looked for convertdata?originalsins0.exe here, and did not find it. please copy it into this location". I guess the problem is, I have no idea how to use this stuff. How DO I use it. I'm not interested in converting from text to binary just binary to text. How do I use it?

Converting .entity files from binary in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I started modding, um, yesterday. I was doing fine until I used a modified starbase in a mod and when I turned the mod on, the starbase was invisible, gave me a minidump etc. etc. Is there a program that will let me convert the newest starbase file from my program files into a text document?

Faulty autocasting ability in Technical Sins Forums

I couldn't find a specific post for errors so I just posted it here. I have the latest version of entrenchment. 1.04 and I think I have the hot fixes because impulse says it's fully updated. SO, anyways the problem I've noticed is that the vasari nano-weapon jammer and the advent antimatter restorer structure autocast as soon as they have enough antimatter even if there are no enemy units in the gravity well. Just an fyi

The dark wing mod in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I'm looking to do a very large mod based on the dark wing series books by walter H. hunt. It's purely in the idea stage right now I'm looking for some people who read the book and liked it and are interested in working with me on this. I hope to have it play significantly differently from the current sins style. I need to see how many fundamental changes to gameplay can be made and see if I can make it play any better. But, I digress. If anyone is interested in helpi

Reply to My computer freezes when I try to load a mod in Sins Modding Sins Forums

thanks for the advice. I tried a newer mod and it worked like a charm. :) since you mod how do I install forge tools to get it to run? If I open it from my desktop it just says it has stopped working before it even starts.

I'm running version 1.15 or what ever the current one is. Do many mods not work with that or what. I am not running entrenchment beta though.

My computer freezes when I try to load a mod in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I've had this problem every time I try to load a mod. I have them installed right but when I click enable the computer freezes and a window pops up and say that it has saved minidump such and such and that the program has stopped working. I've tried to wait it out but it doesn't change. I unistalled the game and ripped out all the left behing folders and then reinstalled it but the same thing still happens. Any ideas?

Reply to Installation in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I've had similar problems with all the mods I've tried. I've put them in the correct folder, they show up, but when I click enable it either says it loaded but it hasn't or it kills the game. The mods that kill my game I managed to get them to "load" by dumping all the actual files from the subfolders into the one main folder but like all the other mods when it says it loads it doesn't. Any ideas?
