Wow, this mod is amazing. I just recently started using it, and I am very impressed. I also recently started modding, and so I was going to ask soon if I could merge this with my own mod, but you beat me to the punch and have already released the text files! Thanks for all the work you've put into this, I and many others really appreciate it. Keep up the good work!

Nice update Bailknight. I'm not sure of my feelings yet on the Marza. On the negative side, its model looks a little pinched or thin.

But the positives are the nicely angled missile launchers and the longer siege barrel. Those are both great.

I'd give you a hug Bailknight, if it was an appropriate and manly thing to do .. :)

How do you install this without the game changes and just the graphics? The readme says to delete the gameinfo folder, but theres two of em.

Theres also a TXT_gameinfo one as well - which one do you not install?
Reply #280 from Sins Forums Top
With the current version if you just want the model and particle effects changed, place the 1.2 folder in your mods directory.

Then delete all folders inside that except for Mesh, Particle, and Textures. Then enable the mod in-game, quit out, reload and you're set.

AI has different parameters, from Gameplay.constants. Strikecraft all have twice the maneuverability

Sorry I almost forgot mention because these changes are too old to keep in mind.

The AntiVeryLight reduction in bomber hit percentage in 1.04 isn't there
End of quote
You may miss something. Both original reference(1.04) and my mod(1.2) have same value 0.75

There's still a couple files in the TXT_GameInfo folder that are binary and not text.
End of quote
Actually I mess up most of original text entity files during testing my multi-conversion script and overwrite many of them :SNIFF!: I have almost no time to check last weekend so it seems like recovering txt is not complete.. sorry for inconvient. I`ll release fixed TXT later.

sweet, thx. is there any planned date for the next version with the new models for heavy and utility cruiser? those look awesome.
End of quote

There will be A new race in ver 2.0 ... Can`t say about release date now. Just need more LONG LONG TIME.

I'm not sure of my feelings yet on the Marza

Me too  :d

the marza looks much better now!! before it looked like a flying box, now it looks like a sleek yet monsterish capital ship.

I compared the values based on the text files in the TXT_GameInfo folder, so if the Gameplay.constants is different in TXT than the binary, that would explain things. The AntiVeryLight is definitely 0.85 in the TXT version, however.

Sorry for inconvenient but I found a bug in my mod ver 1.2 that vasari assailant and sentinel`s charged missile ability has been removed.

To fix this copy and overwrite these files from Sins original GameInfo folder to my mods GameInfo folder.

AbilityChargedMissiles.entity
AbilityChargedMissilesLight.entity
BuffChargedMissilesDoDamage.entity
BuffChargedMissilesLightDoDamage.entity
BuffChargedMissilesLightSelf.entity

Thanks.

This is a fantastic mod. Unfortunately, I've noticed that capital ship explosions seem to end a bit abruptly (simply vanishing midway through the detonations). Can this be fixed?

1.For people who want skip gameplay changes just del gameinfo folder in mods folder. 2.Still Doing 1 may lose some visual enhances that checked (1) above.

This is what I want to say. If you remove gameinfo folder you lost LOTs of effect`s mostly involved with explosions and beams and abilities.

bailknight, could you release a fixed version of the mod?

I've asked a couple of friends to install the mod, and I think the extra instructions will only confuse them. :p
Reply #288 from Sins Forums Top
@Zeta, i created a mod which includes Bailknight's Graphics mod and Uzii's Sins Plus.
When i merged them together with 1.04 balancing changes, i fixed any issues with powers not appearing, or any other sort of errors.

Adama Repack Mod

I hope this helps.

Man, even with my behemoth of a mod. When I get massive groups of capital ships up against capital ships, it begins to stall.

Great job otherwise man... wish my Quad core could handle it all :P

How many capital ships are we talking here? I've had some amazing battles with little to no lag. Also running a quad core.

I was kind of hoping for a solution that didn't involve disabling most of the new effects. (:(

CommanderAdama, if you are suggesting that I use your mod instead, I already am. It's what I'm experiencing the problem in.
Reply #296 from Sins Forums Top
bailknight, I'm guessing there's no way those effects can be preserved without any *other* changes to GameInfo, maybe through a separate release containing vanilla 1.04 GameInfo statistics, but only adding in the gameinfo-resident effects you've added?

I'm thinking a lot of people, myself, would be really interested in seeing all of the effects, but doing so while still preserving all of the game elements as Sins contains them in 1.04. Is this possible?

Also I have a question. I see that you were able to scale the Marza, so I know you have the tools to modify ship models. I am curious as to what the game would look like if all capital ships were doubled in scale. I always found the capital ships to be lacking a bit in size for their name. Do you think you could consider this for the next release? Or possibly post a quick image of what it would look like?
Reply #298 from Sins Forums Top
(Note: You'd have to double the size of the capship factories too. Otherwise TEC constructing a Colony ship would look like a giant mutant hot dog with a tail in a bun)

What effects are not showing up? I was pretty sure I had retained all of them.

The capital ship death explosions end abruptly, vanishing in an instant rather than fading away as they do in the vanilla game.
