This won't run with 1.09.

Bug the Sins devs to release the mod tools for it.

If you remove the gameinfo folder from the mod, it will play without a minidump. Meshes are reverted to 1.05, and all ships/structures turn the team color, though.
Reply #432 Top
Parts of it, yes. But the gameinfo stuff would remain 1.09 values and whatnot.

Most of this is beyond my skill. I suppose if you knew exactly what was what and did what, you might be able to rig it to work, but I wouldn't know what to change.
Reply #437 Top
Well if you only wanted the graphical changes, I'm sure you could just overwrite the mesh and particle folders. But the best way is to just wait patiently till the mod tools are released.

Nice.

 

The first video looks so realistic to be in a space movie like Star Wars, Star Trek, etc:. (maybe Halo)

Nice. Downloading. . .

 

(To my below post)

Nevermind I think I got it . . .

One small gripe, why are the Vasari shields green? They ought to be red.

I don`t know. They were green in vanilla.

Interesting. Is there a way to change this? I have Forge Tools and I assume it would be a relatively easy task.

Hey, I am new to this game, in fact, I havent bought it yet. But I plan to soon. Me and my friend are both getting it to play online. I have a couple questions.

 

First, I know there is a new patch coming out, it supposedly adds a whole new graphical setting above "highest" for people with killer rigs.... is this true? And if so, is this mod compatable with it?

 

Second, all me and my friend have to do when we get the game is install this mod( by unzipping it to the proper folders) and we should be able to play online just fine?

 

Third. When the mini expansions come out, are there plans to adapt this mod to those? (New units like the death star like defense weapon).

 

Thanks!

I hope this mod gets updated. It's essential to (IMHO) to play SOASE.. what I don't understand is why the devs haven't just bundled it into a game patch, since it really does improve the visual experience.

While the game does seem to look better and/or run faster, it's not actually a seperate setting. Currently the mod is compatible with 1.05. I don't know if Bailknight plans on updating it.

Yep.

Sins crashes when I try to load this mod when running the beta patch. Will this mod be unable to run in 1.1? If so, will it be updated? Its an essential piece of coding to play sins with...

Reply #446 Top

Hopefully Bailknight will continue to upgrade his excellent mod, but in case he doesn't there will be visual alternatives which will include most of the work he did with special effects for vanilla races and which will be compatible with 1.1 when it comes out. I'll take care of that. ;)

As for the shield color, if anyone is still wondering, you can change that in the races .entity file, under the Shield section. Its in hex, with the first two digits representing Alpha, so leave them at ff.

I am trying to run the mod on a freshly installed, updated to 1.05 copy of sins, and i am getting a minidump as soon as i try to avtivate the mod. Is anyone else having this problem?

 

My compuer has a 2.0 ghz cor 2 duo

GeForce 8400m

2 GB ram

 

I can run Sins of full settings with no problems. I would really like to try this mod, but so far i haven't found a fix anywhere in the thread.

Have you done anything to the files? Did you integrate some other mod?

Not integrating any other mods. This is a COMPLETELY virgin install of 1.05. I hope i dont have to get patch 1.1, because I don't have a regular internet connection.

What language version of Windows do you have? And is it XP or Vista?
