The Dome (SoaSE game alternative) COMPLETE AS OF 08-01-2009: 2PM! DOWNLOAD LINK IS UP

from Sins Forums

WELCOME TO:

THE DOME!!!!

 

 

THE DOME V1.1 IS NOW COMPLETE!!!

Awaiting demands to upload it ;)

Everything is added as promised! Might seem a little harsh to start but everything functions 100% on my pc so it should for everyone else!

 

Specs:

2 players (40K credits, 20K metal/Crystal to start)

Only source of income is the SIEGE VESSEL of each race which has a RevengeBounty ability (for 10 seconds you get 10 Crystal/metal per sec + 20 damage per sec to enemy ship)! I wanted to use Scout but phase already has 4 abilities for it and I didnt want to start erasing techs.

 Baby map:

DA           -------------------------              STAR --------------------------------------------------               DA

(1 cap ship factory, 1 frigate, 8 combat lab (400hp each), 8 non combat lab (400hp each) per DA)!

 

Each race has a phase jump disruptor which acts as a countdown timer! The moment the game starts, you have 4 mins (240 seconds to prepare), you cna try to jump away but with 100000000% charge up time, I doubt youll get far (doesnt stop you from sending ships so that the moment the timer hits zero, they jump away!

PLUS: dont try scuttling it as it has 1800 sec (half-hour scuttling time)..itll be way dead before that anyways!

 

TIPS:

1) PROTECT YOUR LABS...with 400hp each, they wont last long to an assault!

2) Dont rush Novalith at game start....though it will be of immense help during the game as it will destroy opponent in on shot! Each team starts with PlanetShielder which has 100% mitigation on planet damage (ie.INVULNERABLE) 

3) Each PlanetShielder has 6 squadrons..dont forget to activate them as together, they deliver a pretty good punch!

4) You only have 25 tactical slots TOTAL (when 2 upgraes are done), use them wisely as they will define weither you win or lose once the enemy strikes home!

5) ALL TECHNOLOGIES ARE OPEN AS OF START so plan ahead carefully, remember you only have 40K credits and they go down fast, so remember to put a little bit aside for a salvager ;)

wierd. Always worked for me.

Did you check the timer stuff on it? such as Time that some of the buffs quit? becouse that was messed up in the beta.

 

Reply #27 from Sins Forums Top

hum..let me try something!

Might work...might not!

If it doesnt well..well just have to play without salvager for now ;)

 

BTW sorry for late response, found an issue that would have caused some problems in-game (missing structures)! So I rewent through all player.entities and corrected everything!

+ combat lab and non-combat lab only have 400 health!!! To show their fragile nature :)

I should write a log of everything I do :)

Well once I upload it, itll be on filefront!

Just changing the salvager for it to give a bit more ressources (should take 10 secs), and Ill send it through to Filefront!

Reply #31 from Sins Forums Top

same, and when do you want to test it?

Reply #32 from Sins Forums Top

Be aware the AI DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT (well easy ai doesnt....might need to try unfair..but without income, hell fail most likely)!

Reply #33 from Sins Forums Top

Im having an issue...loading in develloper is fine, loading in orginal sins gets a runtime error? anyone know whats wrong...develloper gives me NO ERRORS of importance!

Reply #34 from Sins Forums Top

Scartch that I found it! Its resolved and works under normal sins now...v.1.12!

Reply #35 from Sins Forums Top

very very strange.

 

Try running it in vanilla sins, but turn on the error reporting (know what I am talking about?) It is a line in your user setting file

Reply #36 from Sins Forums Top

Didnt you read above post ;)

Its fixed, just tested it on fresh sins v1.12! So its currently uploading to filefront, should be done in 2 minutes :)

Its 11h33 where youre at right?...check out main post at 11h35, should be updated with mod path 

Reply #37 from Sins Forums Top

it WAS 11:33, now it is 12:15.

Downloading mods now.

I didn't even see that post, o well.

How about 1:00, which is four for you?

Again. that mod is awsome.

 

I have anouther idea, in the mod, make a folder call "Galaxy"

catch my drift? Put your map in it, and no other. now, the only maps that can be played are onse originally inteanded to played on it. It also makes it so thier is only one download, and avoids all the trouble I was having with the map.

 

Also, if you want, I'll create a series of maps from 3 player up to 10 player, and a few more for variety.

Reply #40 from Sins Forums Top

That would be awesome!!

BTW changes are finished! I added everything you wanted (not the suicide craft for now)!

Timer now has 10 minutes --- and at 5 minutes it has the resource drain effect and sound! (youll see in the folder...it has 2 instant action! 1 @ 300sec = halftime noice, 2 @ 600 =make dead...BEGIN!)

Names are changed, definitions are given!

Starting resources are 20K/10k/10K!! Its half as before...but credits go down real fast when researching good techs and thus youll rapidly start grudging through metal/crystal!

Ability and description of Karmic Retribution is now Resource Drain and posseses an accurate description!

 

Also, currently in the process of making a new post which final download (well for now until we find more errors ;) ) and a score chart  :) lol!

Thanks Teal!!!

Thank you very much! Like compliments that boost the self-esteem :) lol!

Happy people like it..at least say they like it! LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

:D  Looking forward to more games with you Tesla, Teal, Kiedjor!

Check out the official release page for the mod! And set yourselves in vs an opponent ;)

Reply #43 from Sins Forums Top

alright, hold off uploading it untill I can give you some maps for it. (Eathier tommaro or Saturday)

 

THEN!!! I will begin attempting to popularize it, wiht thism I will need ALOT of help.

I need AS MANY PEOPLE as possible, online, playing it. If thier is no one online who has the mod, convince them to get the mod to play then, then convince them to spread the mod as you are doing.

 

Our biggist Ally will be teh Great DanMan himself. He actullly approached me with this idea a while ago, but I turned him down becouse i was too busy. If you send me a file with JUST the changed files, then I can garuntee that this will show up in seven Deadly sins.

Reply #44 from Sins Forums Top

with JUST the modified files..thjat means ALL CORE FILES....player.entities etc... I didnt make a list of everything I changed! Might simply try to PM him and maybe show him our replay so he can get hte feel of how it turns out!

As for help, well tomorrow, I have reserve recrutement interview (dont really give a damn anymore now that I have stable job, and other things to work on! Ill go talk two hours and see what they think) then work from 1-9 pm my time! So I'll be back somewhere around 9.30-9.45 my time..which is 6.30-6.45 your time! So if ever you wanna make a rematch or coordinate a promotion campaign on ICO! Send me a PM, or better if you have MSN..add [email protected], and we can coordinate something from there!

 

Until then..well if ever you want a rematch tonight! Im up for it! 

Reply #45 from Sins Forums Top

don't have MSN.

 

Rematch five o'clock

eight your time?

Reply #46 from Sins Forums Top
