Release 0.54.1 Full Download for Rebellion 1.95+
& Patch 0.54.2

Sins Of The Younger Races Remastered

NEW - Balvarin Carrier and Minor Factions fix!

 

 

Installation Guide:

  1. Download the latest Sins Remastered mod from here:
    https://www.moddb.com/mods/sinsre
  2. Extract the archive into a 'SinsRemastered' folder in your 'C:\Users\%username%\Documents\My Games\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion\Mods-Rebellion v1.85' folder.
  3. Download the latest Babylon 5 Sins of the Younger Races mod from here:
    https://www.moddb.com/mods/sins-of-the-younger-races
  4. Extract the archive into your root 'Mods-Rebellion v1.85' folder instead of a new mod folder as the archive ALREADY contains a premade 'SotyrRemastered' folder inside of it (so if you're not careful you'll end up with a mod folder inside of a mod folder and it won't work lol).
  5. Start Sins and go to 'Options', then 'Mods', and you should see the mods you've installed.
  6. Enable 'SotyrRemastered' and then enable 'SinsRemastered' too. Make sure that the load order is SotyrRemastered first/top and then SinsRemastered second/bottom.
  7. Restart Sins and you should be good to go!

Sometimes the in-game mod loader can be a bit funky so if you can't see the mods you've installed or something isn't working then enabling the mods via the 'EnabledMods.txt' file in your 'Mods-Rebellion v1.85' folder where you installed the mods to is the other alternative. It should look like this to work:

TXT2
SinsArchiveVersion 194
Version 0
enabledModNameCount 2
enabledModName "SotyrRemastered"
enabledModName "SinsRemastered-v0.95b"

Seeing how powerful the Vorlons and the Shadows will be... I expect to see not so huge of fleets by them... the fleet supply on their ships should be there to counter some of the balance issues there will be seeing how it's going to take a large fleet of ships by the other races to even manage to take down even a few of their ships

Reply #452 from Sins Forums Top

I do not think they should be limited by total number it should just the the econ that keeps them in check and the build times. On the highest tech for every race I think things will balence out nicely for the tech max vorlons and shadows. This is simply becuase the time lines for the other races will extend past that of the vorlons or shadows.

 

Speaking on tech I have desided to try to make the tree in excell and start splitting up the tech into the 3 main groups. This should make it easier to see what is being left out. Also I think I am going to do away with the mega tech upgrades like dark aligence and the narn treaty. I think that by using lists it will be easier to ensure that the tech is where it should be and when it should be.

Hmmm... yeah... true... but still they are mighty powerful ships in there own right with very few weaknesses...

also have any of you guys looked into this site?

http://www.b5tech.com/index.htm

they give specs on the ships size, weapon armament, defenses, ect ect ect...

Reply #454 from Sins Forums Top

As for the Shield Idea of the Vorlons / Shadows - this is a nice concept, will look into it! Thanks.

 

As for the Supply cost, yes, Vorlons and Shadows will never be able to have as huge a fleet as the younger races! They will be much deadlier though!

Early WIP with EA Omega texture ... rendered with 3 light sources.

Still a lot more details, lighting, etc ... to finish!

Reply #457 from Sins Forums Top

ook's beatiful can't wait to get control of her

Yes she does ... the model is by Koobalt, but it's not the final texture just a temporary one for now and still a WIP.

Thanks for your interest:)

Reply #463 from Sins Forums Top

Wonderful! Simply wonderful. As of now, I also got Timmaigh's Vorchan Cruiser (and fully textured)

 

Now just need to add Centari to the list.

Reply #466 from Sins Forums Top

Start work on Marathon-class cruiser [or battleship:annoyed: ] as i see, this ship upgraded "Warlock" with new engines and slightly changed hull [rounded]. I not finish work on carrier, but next 4-5 days - work on this ship.

End work, two modeller on one ship too many.8C

As far as I know, Koobalt already started work on it, but he is in the early stages, so please contact him via the forums:

If Zvezdochets make texture for his model, i will pass this work for him, i have no idea or skill in texturing, and i don't know when fileosoft will have some spare time to make a tutorial for gimp user, so with texture for my model i put a great hope in SteinerX. So this way you will longer wait for this model (made by me) to be full complete.

Reply #469 from Sins Forums Top

Good. I agree if koobalt work on Marathon.B)  I don't know about your works on him. Sorry.

About fighters. TobiWahn, four type only on one ship! But if we equip on old ship - old fighters, and on newest - newest fighters [maybe "non-canonical"] may use more then four-five types.

Orestes - old "Tiger" and "Badger".

And newest "Warlock" - "Thunderbolt" and "Firebolt".

Because "Marathon" or "Warlock" with "Tiger" or "Nova" looks too strange:grin:

On "Marathon" need add special "ShadowFury" and "ShadowThunder" with black texture and more powerful weapon.

But it is a only my humble opinion [imho]

@ Garsterjaryjohnson

When do they appear? The explorer bug will be corrected in the next release, Shadows must not be selected for AI players - is there anything else?

Reply #473 from Sins Forums Top

Nice ship and image.

TobiWahn_Kenobi, how going work on texturing ships ? This is too difficult, i agree, but i only 3d modeller and not advanced in texture work like you.

Reply #474 from Sins Forums Top

Nice ship and image.

Yes! Timmaigh made a great start with the Centari
