The Ultimate Combo mod - featured in PC GAMER

from Sins Forums

Welcome to the 7 DEADLY SINS mod, as featured in PC GAMER by DANMAN .

 

Welcome to 7 Deadly Sins 2.5 FINAL for the latest version of Sins Entrenchment 1.053.
7DS can only be played at HIGH maximum settings. DO NOT USE VERY HIGH settings. This will cause a minidump. Also, there is an issue with Win7 64 bit. You will get crashes, load errors, or the game will not even play, with or without warning. Just keep reloading the game and trying until you actually get into the game and play. This is a Windows problem, not a problem with Sins or 7DS.

 

7 Deadly Sins is:

The ultimate combo mod, the "unoffical" expansion of Sins of a Solar Empire, or so it has been dubbed by the mod community.
The work of many individual modders working together under my leadership (DANMAN3712).
Nearly 4 years old and downloaded in various forms over 100k times worldwide and in 5 languages.

Together, we form the 7DS Mod Team and the backbone of DANMAN GAMES www.danmangames.com

Mobile Starbases -all races possess starbases that can move about the gravity well to interdict enemy forces -assault carefully.

 

12 Playable Races with their own traits that make them more unique, from being a total offensive race, to a highly researching race. Each race now has its own unique tactics of gameplay.

Trader Emergency Coalition- solely based on trade and swarming, with little military might
Corpo-Nations that have rebelled against the Trade Order. Their military might stripped, they have turned to allying themselves with various factions and hiring mercs for protection.
TEC has new Battlecruisers, mercenary contracts, and EMP shells that bypass shields to a small degree.
Trade Coalition Armada- the military arm of the Trade Order
Once the development arm of the Trade Order, they are now the last hope for the Trade Order and humanity. Their ships are bricks with extreme range railguns.

TCA has state of the art weapons on traditional capitalships plus the Dresden and Athena Dreadnought and Beta Kol Titan.
The Orion Unity- modified Orion and Advent Combine
Some Orion split with the Atlantian-Orion Combine to guide the Advent towards their ultimate evolutionary stage. TOU ships are stronger, faster and deadlier; They can even travel between worlds using the Phase Stabilizer technology of the Tempest Titan.
Ship research boosts weapon performance.

DARK FLEET- modified Vasari
The Dark Fleet is all that remains of the Vasari. Where the weak Exodus ran often and fought rarely, the Dark Fleet seeks total dominion through force of arms. Their 5 Titan ships roam looking for prey.
Play style is familiar with greater armor, firepower and destructive potential.

Imperial Armada- from Star Wars
Guided by a clone of General Thrawn, the wasteland armadas of the Imperial Armada can employ powerful Force Alchemical Technology and even unleash the power of the Executor Super Star Destroyer.
Can unlock Jedi and/or Sith Holocrons for performance boost to defenses or offenses respectively -and at the expense of the other.

Rogue Cadre- Playable, custom pirates
Rob, pilfer, and steal your way to greatness. The Rogue Cadre is a melting pot of human cultures, Advent refugees and what remains of the Vasari. They have gathered against the TCA, TOU, Atlantian-Orion Combine and TOC to free humanity from tyranny, mysticism and slavery.
Posess the Precursor Titan and The Machine -the latter capable of capturing capitalships

Arilou Vanguard- UFO race from the Star Control Games
Not being of this dimension, the Arilou do not rely on money and normal means of transport or construction. They simply spawn ships from their "motherships", and travel through Quasispace, which propels them at near instant speeds from planet to planet.

Ur-quan KohrAh Third Doctrinal Fleet- Death race from the Star Control games
Totally aggressive, the Korh-Ah are built for battle. They are all offense, and barely any defense. They focus on exterminating every race and every planet they find, and almost every ship is capable of boming from orbit. Their goal is to "cleanse" the universe of all other sentient life, anything that is not an Ur-Quan.

Ur-Quan KzerZa Third Doctrinal Fleet- Slaving race from the Star Control games
Unlike their Kor-Ah cousins, the Kzer-Za believe in a diplomatic approach, let alone old habits of enslaving entire races into their Hierarchy. They have grown from their 10,000 year old ways, and are more good than bad now.

Atlantian-Orion Combine- the ultimate race, the seeders of life (the gods)
The Combine are part of the original Creator Alliance and responsible for seeding galaxies with genetic data. The Orion are the protectors and defenders until the Atlantian vessels can be fielded. Their greatest strength is their technology, but the loss of labs remove bonuses gained from research.

Taalo Horde- Ancient Rock race, from the Star Control games
As if the universe itself groaned for a protector, the Taalo have awakened from a million year slumber only to find old allies -the Atlantians and Arilou stripping the galaxy of semi-sentient flo-metal. They are the ultimate enviromental defender with a naive sense of justice. They have incorporated alien technology into their asteroid bodies with great results.

Triad of Creation- Ancient Destroyers of Worlds, Galactic Enslavers
The Triad of Creation, the Dnyarri, Antaran and Lapis, seek to eradicate all life in the universe. They nearly destroyed the Atlantian-Orion Combine in the Ori galaxy by turning their creation -the Vasari- against them. They emerged from within the Rogue Cadre taking a sizeable portion of their population into slavery. Their fleets struck the Taalo and Dark Fleet with vessels designed for infiltration nearly crippling the two factions.

So Danman , solar sins is already in 1.2?...
Elemental: Reforged
Reply #328 from Sins Forums Top
Correct. 7 DEADLY SINS 1.2 already has Solar Sins 1.0 in it.
Solar Sins is basically 7 DEADLY SINS without the Atlantians.

I had so many requests for this, so I put this out to make people happy.
However, 7 Deadly Sins will always be my main focus.

Hey Danman,

I was reading about on Keidjor's mod and was wondering about the status of his mod merging with 7 deadly sins.

Well i should of said that if he was still in the process of merging his mod with your super mod?

Just played the Atlantians, love the whole concept. Just wondering if you were going to make an enemy just as ancient as the Atlantians who come back to do battle or to retake the galaxy?

Hope im not bringing up an thought that was already discussed.

Cheers,

Flux

hey ran into an interesting little mishap with the Solar Sins mod. As you can see i attached a picture of a Crusader that looks alot like a Revelation. If this was done deliberately i apologize but i just figured id point it out in case its a bug that u'd want to fix in your next update for the mod.

Awesome! Now I can complete my map, or as my friend puts it, "immense waste of time" :D

Animage64:
Thank you very much for putting that together. I will put the link in the top main post.

Flux:
For now the project is on hold. Kiedjor is experiencing too many problems with his own mod, let alone trying to merge the mods together. We want to iron out the cinks in the system before we do this, but we are still working on it.

Lurker:
OOPS! You found an Easter Egg! Actually, you found out a secret about the Atlantians, and the fact that they will be becoming Advent by the next release. This was my attempt to turn frigates into Capital ships. So, you see the beginning stages. My apologies. If you wish, I'll post a file to correct this.

Brookman5:
Glad you like.

Well, because I'm a nice guy and I think you all need to be tossed a bone. Here is the Atlantian Carrier, This model is in progress and might change slightly before release.



Reply #342 from Sins Forums Top
Ah yes. The first in my new deadly Atlantian fleet. (stands up, and starts to clap LOUDLY).

This thing is awesome, and I can't wait for this, and your other works Siath, to fully encompass this race. Well done my friend.

This is a great mod, but I think that it would benefit a lot from icedude's Sins Enhancement mod. Would it be possible to maybe include that mod as well once it is updated for 1.04?
Reply #346 from Sins Forums Top
I'm not sure if somebody else spoke about this problem before - at least a searching for some posting in that direction didnt lead to anything (but of course, the search function in this forum here is the worst I have seen in the past 5+ years)

The problem I'm having is with the ship-graveyards from "Sins plus"

I find the concept awesome and I do like the taking over the battleships, but the AI seems to have a serious problem with those graveyards.

- in every game I had them the AI
a) doesn't seem to be able to recognize that it can take the ships over by researching a tech (or puts that esearch at lowest priority or some such)
b) completely de-evaluates the derelict ships:
b1) seems to consider them a major threat and gathers almost ist whole fleet there - which afterwards just idling in the graveyard
b2) doesn't seem able to recognize them to be invulnerable and the gathering of the fleet is just the attempt to destroy those "minor weak ships"

But the endresult is the same:
Whenever a graveyard is in an Ais territory they collect massive fleets there (basically all ships they got) which afterwards do absolutely nothing but "guarding" the graveyard

This of course takes away quite some fun.

That's why, is there a way to mod it in a way that the AI deals with the graveyards "correctly": either researches and takes over the ships or consideres it as what is is basically: some pieces of metal which can't be destroyed and which won't attack either.

The 2nd option would of course give the opportunity to a human to gather a few ships behind enemy lines and cause some havoc with them - but that would be better than having the AI gathering it whole fleet at one useless spot and just keeping it there.

Alternatively, would there be an option to add a planet option to the map designer "random - no graveyards"?

@Herodias
You can remove the option to pick graveyards by opening the "GalaxyScenerioDef" with notepad located in your GameInfo folder. And remove every line under WeightedRandom, Random, RandomTrue, etc... that says: orbitBodyType "AsteroidGrave" and fixing its number in orbitBodyTypeCount #
Reply #348 from Sins Forums Top
thanks.
I havent attempted any modding, but I understood the first part of your "instructions": And remove every line under WeightedRandom, Random, RandomTrue, etc... that says: orbitBodyType "AsteroidGrave"

But fixing its number in orbitBodyTypeCount # - what do you mean by this? "fixing its number"? do you mean setting it to zero or something?
(I havent looked at the file and can't do so right now, so maybe its going to be obvious when I see it, but still... ;P )
Reply #349 from Sins Forums Top
@Herodias
Not a problem, heres an example of a portion of the file when you open it up in notepad:

planetType
designName "SinsPlusPlanets"
designStringId "IDSGalaxyScenarioTypePlanetNew"
orbitBodyTypeCount 19
orbitBodyType "Forest"
orbitBodyType "Forest"
orbitBodyType "Rock"
orbitBodyType "Rock"
orbitBodyType "Ocean"
orbitBodyType "Ocean"
orbitBodyType "Toxic"
orbitBodyType "Toxic"
orbitBodyType "City"
orbitBodyType "Industrial"
orbitBodyType "Military"
orbitBodyType "Paradise"
orbitBodyType "AsteroidGrave"
orbitBodyType "AsteroidGrave"
orbitBodyType "Relic"
orbitBodyType "Grass"
orbitBodyType "Grass"
orbitBodyType "Swamp"
orbitBodyType "Swamp"

Remove the two lines that say orbitBodyType "AsteroidGrave" and change the number in orbitBodyTypeCount from 19 to 17 since there are seventeen lines left now. Repeat this process for WeightedRandom, Random, RandomTrue, etc...
