C:\Documents and Settings\*username*\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods.

Shame on mod authors for not including a readme.

ok, i extracted the folder named Interdictor from the winrar of the same name.

Interdictor has a sub folder named GameInfo, which has a whole heap of *.entity files

what do i put where?

i've extracted the Interdictor folder to "E:\Documents and Settings\Goblin\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods" and run the game, but it didn't apply.

i've also got a mod that increases the amount of cap ships you can build, along with the total fleet supply you can have, neither are working.

Your folder structure should look like:

E:\Documents and Settings\Goblin\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods\Interdictor\GameInfo (with all of the entity files in the GameInfo folder)

The game looks for mod folder names to display in-game, so it will show up as "Interdictor" for selection. Also, only one mod can be active at a time.

Hey, I downloaded a couple of mods and read the readme where it said to extract them to the destination mentioned above, however, when i tried to do it i found that the "Local Settings" folder doesn't exist, then when I tried to make a folder with that name an error message came up and said that there was already a file with that name and to rename the folder. Can anyone help??

Nope.

It's probably because the folder is hidden. Because of the braindead way windows works (the first programmers who get set up at the wall after the revolutions comes) you have the set it in the order options to show up. From a sticky in this forums:

* Where are the files kept for Sins of a Solar Empire (such as screenshots and such?)

Vista:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\

XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\

Please note these directories may be Hidden by default. To unhide them, go to your Control Panel -> Folder Options -> View and set yourself to view hidden files and folders.

Note: If you're running the game through Stardock Central under Windows Vista, it will save your game settings under an Admin folder: C:\Users\ADMIN_NAME\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\

We are working to correct this behavior.


Hope that helps. :)
