i finally got it to work that last down load you updated worked thxs for all the help its a awesome mod

sweet thanks for answering most of me questions. as you can tell im quite excited about the mod and a freespace lover

i was wondering how i would go about getting the map's that you made for FS1  to show up in the new game menu?

to get an old map to show in sins 1.17 you would need to use my map updater v2.0.1 from this thread

harpo

The new updated maps in the final release will work by dropping them into the folder G:\Stardock Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Galaxy.  The old maps need to be updated either with harpo's tool or manually by changing the 'planet upgrade levels' sections to the new style for stars and planets (in galaxy files).  That and the version number to 3.

sup guys <3 the mod, was just wondering how the progress is going on fs2 what yall have so far ? what ideas you have ? :))

i've tried installing the mod. everytime i hit the enable mod button and try to go start a new game the races are still the originals. any help would be appreciated

something similar happened to me too. have you checked the modpath? I found that I had one sub-folder too much in there, bc of how the file is structured.

it may look something like this: ... /Ironclad/Sins/mods 1.17/Freespace Mod Final/freespace Mod/...

when it should look like this:

/Ironclad/Sins/Mods 1.17/FS1ModFinal

just look in there. once in the mod folder there should be directly several things like Mesh, Movie, Particle, etc. no folder in between.

oh i see now thanks very much

I guess this is what they call necromancing threads.

Hehe, yeah. but now that its up i want to try it out, never seen it before actually. Wonder if it works with latest version, maybe harpo's will do the trick.

malanthor, seeing as the mod is FOR 1.17 then the mod updater should be able to update it to current. but there are SIX changes from 1.17 to 1.191 in the entity files so it will NOT work by putting in the mods-v1.191 folder you will NEED to place it in your mods-v 1.17 folder and use the mod updater to update it to current

Thanks Harpo. Ill do that.

edit: meh, minidump and minidump. Oh well.

Go here Radu.

thanks

if the makers of this mod are on the forum around yet, I would have a question

I returned to my old mod project I worked on about a year ago; goals were to focus on recon aspect of strategy, 'cruise' missiles as main anti-ship weapon (plus defence against them) & increased fighter capabilities

the third point is little problematic because of two hardcoded limits; first, only 2 types per unit in code, second, the same limit for a group of different ships with also different fighter squadrons on the board in use (when you open the window to launch them)

the idea was to equip most (if not all) ships with some support vessels: smaller frigates and freighters with a kind of all-round heavier assault craft, coming in a small squad of two units, while larger ships would carry larger squads of specialized fighters and bombers; further additions were 'elite' squads on some capital ships or 'mercenaries' on freighters

however, when I select, say, a carrier and a frigate together, and open the launching screen (which now should contain three types of squads), the game CTDs; any ideas on the issue?

ah and I would love to post some screens to show the work, but I'm too lazy to make UV maps and am writing from my work anyway

Shimko, Entrenchment allows up to four fighter types per vessel.

Oh, and nice potato avatar.

thanks
