Distant Stars Mod both Rebellion and Diplomacy (Trinity) supported.

First I would like to take the thank  rjhughes67 for taking up this project. Nacey has had a lot of things on his plate and so he has not gotten around to Distant Stars lately. He says he will occasionally pop in with comments and ideas but his time is being taken up else where. I, Ryat, will continue to be forum moderator and master bug hunter for this project. And maybe the occasional change/addition.

Second I would like to thank Nacey, -Ue_Carbon, Draakjacht, Stant123 and Skyline (the originator of this mod) for all of their hard work on this project. Also give thanks to all the modders whose mod projects we used, abused and otherwise mutilated for our own mod.

And finally to our fans. Let's face it. Sins of a Solar Empire is a very moddable game and there are some excellent mods out there. We thank you for sticking with us.

And now without further ado the links.....

We're still missing boshimi though...

 

I'm around. Where are the cookies?



I feel obligated to ask here ... any chance we could retool Titans in DS to act like 'heavy capital ships' instead of 'uber one-off death machines'? You know, able to make 3 or 4 of them if you wanted but they'd be like 1/10th as powerful etc ... might as well hope. ;P

 

Good to see this rocking again! Let me know if there are some extra templates for gravity wells you'd be up for me writing. I've got some ideas I worked on in the past that were inspired from GoaFan's initial set of templates. They won't be copy and pasted but would rather be unique template concepts. Just let me know if you'd like em or not.

Um, no. But feel free to make your own minimod. :)

Yes! Make sure you are using version " DS_v0.18R+FWSP-RG " or have patched up to it. It includes the recent hotfix.

Vassari rebel faction. The titan is getting stuck at 3/4 done when built. I've tried moving the shipyard to no effect. It's still building and then just stops at 3/4 or so.

 

Kind of makes the game unplayable since I saw a couple messages of OTHER factions launching their titans.

 

I hopefully you can track down the problem. I'll just try a different faction till then I guess and see if the problem is player only.

Do you have all the research done? All four titan research items are required for full build.

I have just finished playing Vasari Rebels and had no issues with my Titan getting stuck... as Ryat said, do you have all 4 required researches done?

Cannot seem to download. Both firefox and chrome say either the file cannot be read '.7z' or a network error. No issue with internet on my end as I just downloaded Rebellion.

.7z files are an archive that is best opened with 7zip which can be downloaded from www.7zip.org, and you should save the archive to your harddrive before opening in 7zip.

Possibly.

I started playing this a day or so ago (diplomacy 1.37 version) and it looks like whilst I was away the dynamic movement has been changed, now ships that should not move like strike craft (LRMs and capitals) now do so.

 

how do I fix this?

Does the Rebellion version also work for someone who doesn't have the DLCs?

You go into each individual entity file and change "usesFighterAttack" TRUE to FALSE

Let's just say that Distant Stars is getting a lot of TLC. rjhughes67 has recharged my desire to get back in and he has some good ideas of his own so we will get this mod running full steam again soon. I hope.

WOOT WOO!

I've never been able to get this Mod to work. When I apply it Sins just crashes. I'm using the Steam version with Rebellion and the latest patch.

Oops hit post too soon on that last one.

 

I get an error that simply says sins has stopped working. I have to tab out and close the error box then Sins shuts down and I can run it again normally. I placed the Mode folder in my Rebellion 1.80 folder (directly from the zip). I'm using DS Alpha 0.13

Go here and download the right mod

 

In my case I own the dlc and run rebellion also on steam

 

DS_v0.18R+FWSP-RG   ////// EDIT  make sure your version is the 11.16.2013

 

DS(distant stars v0.18 R (rebellion) FW (forsaken world) SP (Steller phenomenon) RG ricks gallery

 

So if you dont have FW and SP dont use that one checksum should be Checksum:  39793659

 

 

 

Hope this helps

Yes, and you can make them so bad ass that they pretty much annihilate anyone trying to bomber spam the gravity well...  If you want to go that route.
