Quick synopsis

This mod introduces the colonial and cylon factions to the Sins of the Fallen universe. Both races will be playable with any of the planets, addons, and races included in Sins of the Fallen including the stock races. Both the colonial and cylon's factions will be balanced against the stock factions to support this approach. 

 

Colonial Fleet

Relying on heavily armored and armed ships the colonial fleet is always on the defense looking for cylon incursions. Lacking shields of any kind Battlestar Point Defense systems are used to intercept incoming weapons and minimize damage to nearby frigates and cruisers supporting the fleet.

Just looked and the research is there but there's no option to upgrade the cylon starbase to build frigates.
End of KWHITE9008's quote

Yep... you can complete the research, but when you click on the star base, it's not an ability/upgrade...

Gotcha, Easy fix... was just missing the starbase upgrade. 

 

Looking at the string updates now.

Only made one change to the string file... I think it was research for the resurrection hub or something like that. 

Another thing... I don't think that the "Nuclear Barrage" research works for the Boomer Titan... doesn't seem to do anything. Used to work in the old Sins of the 13th Tribe version I think.

So I'm to do a small edit on the entity file for the colonials, and before I used notepad to open them and everything was organized, but now everything is stretched and spaced weird and unreadable. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks in advance for any help. :)

Reply #2280 from Sins Forums Top

shigiddy, it sounds like you might be attempting to edit in a text editor a BIN file, this can be confirmed by the first THREE characters of the file being BIN. the fix is to convert the file(s) to txt mode either using the convertdata(expansion).exe or one of the convert gui utilities like my text bin gui which is also in my utilities pack.

Correct, I uploaded the mod in BIN format which loads much quicker in game.

Reply #2282 from Sins Forums Top

Awesome! So do I need to convert it back into BIN after editing, or will it do that on it's own?

Reply #2283 from Sins Forums Top

it will work in EITHER text or BIN formats, just that bin loads quicker, so you do NOT NEED to convert to bin, but it loads quicker if you do

You can create your own sub-mod with just your changes, that way when I update my mod you won't have as much work to do.

End of Mord_Sith84's quote

Yeah, I'm working on a new build and hope to start back up on the planets at some point. The mod will just move at the speed of a lot of other current mods when it comes to releases versus the fast approach I was able to get away with before.

Reply #2287 from Sins Forums Top

Ok cool. What will the new build include?

i can post a few ideas for Cylon if you like?

What's news Z?

This forum has gone very quiet....

Z,

Have a lull over at SotYR, as I indicated earlier I'll download and take a look at the abilities you have in place and get back to you.

Sweet! Thanks

Hey guys,

 

apparently the cylon raider texture mapping is fubar'd. I rebuilt the mesh from scratch and it should display fine if you drop this file in the Cylon Mesh folder of the mod.

Z, What do you use to convert bin to txt and back? I've tried using Harpo's converter but it locks up. Lots of options but I'd rather not induce an issue during the conversion.

Reply #2294 from Sins Forums Top

I use Harpo's tool and point it at rebellions converter, but I can upload text reference versions of the files.

Reply #2295 from Sins Forums Top

I'm using v2 Beta of Harpo's converter. It is not obvious to me (I can be obtuse) how to point it to the rebellions converter which came as an application file in the same folder. It must be something obvious... If there were txt files uploaded that would work as well. Thanks either way.

 

Edit: Z, SotF.FoK.Reb.1.82.30 doesn't seem to have a valid check sum. I've reloaded from the .7z file and still no joy have I overlooked something?

 

Reply #2296 from Sins Forums Top

my converter GUI uses the folder path to determine WHICH converter to actually use, but you can force it to use a paticular converter by renaming the converter to convertdata.exe and NOT having an expansion name in the path.

Chuckle, thanks.

Edit: Not sure why but it still locks up as (Not Responding) with the endless blue circle. A lot of programs have been acting weird after the last Windows7 round of patches. I my undo those and see if that is the culprit.

 

Reply #2298 from Sins Forums Top

I also get the not-responding on convertdata's when it is the WRONG (either expansion OR version number)version for the data files which is why I use the path (that has the version number and expansion in it) to select the correct version (or if not found then use the current from the game folder), but I have not actually used the convertdata in several windows updates

harpo the NON-subscriber

Reply #2299 from Sins Forums Top

That's likely what is happening... An easy work around is to copy the Rebellion convert data over the convert data Harpo's tool is trying to call. I do this to just be lazy...

 

Regardless here is the latest reference files in text format.
