Just increase the appropriate values in the fleet supply research files, or mod them to be higher in gameplay.constants if you want it across the board.

Thanks carbon I got it done in the research files. Where is the gameplay.constants file? Also in the CB mod I'm using his deep space sector as my system hyper limit for my honorverse map. Their just too bloody small a starbase can almost cover it edge to edge. What file do i need to adjust to make the deep space sector grav well bigger. Ya know more like deep space. Your my hero

Gameplay.constants should be in GameInfo like everything else.

Find the appropriate file for the planet/well (Planet*something*.entity) and adjust the following two values to your likng:

moveAreaRadius 40000.000000
hyperspaceExitRadius 30000.000000

Thank you yet again carbon. Your deeds do you good service. On another note I thought of an interesting way to make hyperspace nodes. By using the nebula and making the grav well large. What I'd like to do is make like a 30% speed bonus to the node. Maybe make it bigger. You get the idea. How hard would it be to add that ability to that area? Gonna mess with it to see what I can achieve.

Is there a way to control how fast stuff moves in any one grav well?

I've tried adding the ability to the nebula. I get a mini dump when I enter it tho. I'm trying to increase speed in just the nebula. Nowhere esle. Are you saying there is another way other than creating an ability for the nebula.

Could I add a 30% speed buff and that work?

disregard my last few...posts I've found it.....Yup....doing the I found it dance.....

Glad you got it to work.  Also, feel free to use the nebulea I made.  Just be sure to give credit.

Carbon16, thanks for your help here.  I have been busy with RL to be in here this past week.

Actually, these guys have made it very apparant that they are against 7DS, and even poke fun at it.  I say until they actually release something, they should not complain.

So, needless to say, I will not be merging with these guys.  Besides, the TCA already will take care of their style of ships and gameplay.

I'll look into this for you, and there is actually another mod out there that does this already.  I'll try to find it for you.

I use Notepad and Notepad++ for all my file editing.  Also, if you want to retro convert to 1.05, you need to open both the new version of a planet, and an old version side by side, and make the new one match the old one in spec info.  Just besure to keep the meshes and planet values the same as the new.  Then, you will have converted the file.  This is what I am doing to convert UP to the new version and Entrenchment.

Actually its not the meshes that need to change, its the entity files, and yes, those are already done.

YES!  I am running two versions right now.

Don't know yet until we actually get into it.  I say if we make a base mod, and then add to that, things should go very well and provide an a la carte system to gamers.

Its like that because it is in binary form.  You need it in text form, which is part of the mod tools that Ironclad puts out, or you can translate your own with a converter using ConvertDATA.

This is in the gameplayconstants file, which is located in the GAMEINFO folder.

Hope the helps guys!  Let me know if I missed anyone!

DANMAN

... okay, can you tell me how? 

Is there a way to make the wispy nebula stuff bigger?  In my hyperspace version of it the grav well is like 70000. The nebula part like 2000. Thiers also a 500% top speed increase there with a 250% accel bonus.

Also on another note. I'm tring to make the Jav into a missle pod, but the text file from the ref data dumps the game.

Danman, Just a little side info and why I'm in your thread. I'm currently using the celestial bodies mod for the new planets and realistic moons it provides. My mod or idea is a SinsoftheHonorverse hybrid.

It contains so far:

Manticore vs PRH senerio map with over 40 systems made with compainion stars.

A tweaked version of the CB mod.

Ships of the Wall Mod.

Sure, you need to install the game again.  But first, you need to rename all the current folders of the mod on your machine right now.  EVERYTHING.  Then reinstall the game, then google and download the patch to 1.05.  Thats all there is to it.

Yep, there sure is.  That is how I made my nebulaes.  Using Particle Forge, you increase the overall immiter sizes of each immitter, to the siz f your gravity well if you wish.  Then they will fill the gravity well.

Looks like you are following in my footsteps, and I wish you the best of luck.   Let me know if you need anymore help.

DANMAN

wait, WHAT? im completely lost , what do i rename and what do i keep?  and where do i find the files and all that stuff, i am horrible at modding and stuff like it.

Thanks..I kinda feel at home around here.

Any luck DanMan? I'm working on the same project as DarkCloud, just some different stuff.

Ok... very short... instal sins with the upgrade to 1.05... copy your main folder ( stardock/... ) to a folder with a other name ( by example stardock1/... ) ... upgrade the original to the last version... once your start the game, you will be using the last version... for use 1.05, start the exe from stardock1/... be aware that each time your start a different version, your config file are reset... and save game from the other version will not work... when you switch of version, be sure that no mod are eable at the startup...

some people simply copy and paste the backed version they wish... myself, i use playonlinux and linux... along with a custom wine... it allow me to run any version with a single click.. i can run 1.05, 1.16 ( or other version ) and the last entrenchment version in the same time in windowed game config... but how to setup everything is somehow a little more complex... until now, the maxgame that i was able to start in the same time was 7, from any version...

Wow, I had no idea but I agree, they shouldnt insult 7DS when they havent even released a mod yet. And that part about the TCA, I didnt know that because I never played as them!

is that in my program files, because i have 2 stardock files one saya stardock games and that has the game name file in it(sins...). The other just says stardock, the one that jus says stardock only has impulse, so im guessing that i change the stardock games file. is that right?

Heretic!  Play as the TCA.  They are my favorite faction because of their sheer toughness.  Their caps have around 30 armor fully teched out.  They are so damn bricky.

I find the assertion that it's possible to sum up an entire TC in one faction laughable, but I suppose that's what happens when you equivocate gameplay changes with ship size. Nonetheless, this thread is not about mod slapfights or 7DS; it's about letting modders create their own work (which inevitably leads to mod slapfights).

Correct, it's not like Steam where the game is stored in the application's directory. While you'll still have conflicts in other directories (config files, mods on startup, etc etc), by renaming Stardock Games you should be able to install two versions of the game simultaneously.

Have you tried replacing the files with full (including alpha) black .dds files instead of simply deleting them?

How do I edit files?  Do I used notepad?
