The meeting place for setting up any Distant Stars game is currently Channel 'Distant Stars' on ICO. Once your there feel free to set up games among each other! Another thing we would like to promote is using Distant Stars in your game name. For example here are some game names: Distant Stars 1, Distant Stars 2, etc etc. You are all smart people. :P

 Warning:

Be sure to turn your graphics settings down to lowest and turn off all of the special effects like bloom and skyboxes...  You're dealing with net traffic and other people's computers so to avoid unnecessary desyncs or disconnects, do your part and turn everything down.

We also suggest you Trim your Empire Tree to reduce mid-end game lag. Play with only the minimum ammount in your Empire Tree as you need!

That would be a fun hat to throw into the ring. My cap ship design of combat might do better in MP that way.

Draak, are you in the same boat as far as the beta? If so I can get my guys to upgrade to beta if that will get you the extra players you need.

What are the check sum number you guys are getting when activating the mods?

If you read my post on the previous page you'll find my checksums are compliant with the OP. I perfer (36951860) but can use the MP patch (71807385) also.

Reply #480 from Sins Forums Top

I'm patched up, but I haven't gotten around to updating the mod. I'll have to play with things to make sure they work and my preference regarding the MP patch would be based on how well the updates do on smoothing gameplay.

Reply #481 from Sins Forums Top

I have DS Entrenchment, if I remember correctly it is similar to the first checksum.

Reply #482 from Sins Forums Top

Similar yes, but even on numeral off and it won't work.

A complete and equalized update for DS will occur after the patch has passed beta. We might not even need the MP patch for it.

Reply #483 from Sins Forums Top

that will make things sooo much easier.

Reply #485 from Sins Forums Top

Well, that is why I said maybe because I want to be right and not make a bad guess.

Reply #486 from Sins Forums Top

Seems any MP get togethers will be easier once the beta dies down and/or we get 1.0 our the door.

Im not able to play yet, ordering parts this week. My goal is to have a game ready computer by next week.

 

Anyhow, Im looking to post a potential new MP patch change log tomorrow sometime. If Im able to do what I want quickly the same day or so, maybe this list will make into 1.0. I sure like it in there. And another plug, since ive recovered other HD I can finish work on a rather fun new map. Of course, I bias. It could totally suck like AI horde for whatever reason. :(

Reply #487 from Sins Forums Top

I think it's gonna suck because of your inability to type what you're thinking.  ;P

Reply #488 from Sins Forums Top

very well. I have been kinda in and out of my own skull this weekend and I knew there were likely few players on... that and I had a version that was not agreeing with the comp and was not feeling totally up for doing the fix. I think when Carbon gets back in and with the most recent full download we might see something more plausible this next weekend, assuming there are no more beta changes between now and then.

Reply #489 from Sins Forums Top

I agree, once we get a solid version, and a solid DS version, things will be much easier.

Reply #490 from Sins Forums Top

Well, the solid DS version is a must. If I pull out a Sova and can't find my damned gunships anywhere, what do I build? Fighters? Noooo, thank you!

But yes, let's see how this week unfolds.

Hey all.

 

I took a break from SINS since my computer decided to bust on me.

 

Recently got an excellent gaming computer, and I want to get back into Sins; especially with the Distant Stars mod! Is everything still up and running? I sure hope so. My brief experience with the DS mod was amazing, and I figure it can only get better.

Reply #492 from Sins Forums Top

The mod is still up and running, if you haven't been around recently, the Devs improved the engine for Diplomacy reducing the memory used up by it, so DS is being improved even more.

 

So instead of all of that business above, visit the mod's home thread and get the newest copy.

As for multiplayer, we haven't been having it, interest died down, but we expect that to come back as Rebellion get's closer, our only issue right now is that we're all busy doing fun things to the mod.

Reply #493 from Sins Forums Top

Thanks!

 

And that sucks about the multiplayer. If anyone wants to play a few games against AI, feel free to let me know-I am looking to get back into this.

Reply #494 from Sins Forums Top
Guitarkid, Ive been looking for someone to play the AI with. I'll be on DS when they patch the planet display problems. Take a look over at the official DS thread for more info. It was supposed to be patched today, but I haven't checked. Let me know if you're interested. You're on Diplomacy, right? By the way, I'm playing Sins of a Galactic Empire a lot, actually have a game going now. Let me know if you wanna play that in the meantime.
Reply #495 from Sins Forums Top

I've been playing against the AI for over a year, and only a few only games-I usually play TEC and I believe I'm decent at it.

 

I have teamspeak and what not too; Cat,

 

What's your ICO name? Mine is "BlazeNixon".

 

Edit: Yes, Diplomacy.

Reply #496 from Sins Forums Top
ICO is Nolan C. I'm on now, posting this from my iPod.
Reply #499 from Sins Forums Top
Sorry about that man. I'll be on tomorrow, around 11am. I'm not sure what time you'll be on but keep an eye on the forum, I'll post here when I get on. You should definitely check out Sins of a Galactic Empire, it's here on the forum. Maybe we could play that. That planet display issue drives me nuts.
Reply #500 from Sins Forums Top

It's harder than I thought to find people that don't want to play at blazing speeds. D:

Also, I'm more of an evening/night player, generally sleeping around 11 am lol.
