Also, bailknight, if you get a chance I wouldn't mind hearing what about Particle Forge is more helpful. I don't mod, so perhaps I won't understand it all, but it'd be nice knowing what's making your job any easier.

You can see result in particle forge directly instead of running game every time when you change small values.

fix some value in particles -> start game ->( setting situation for test -> save ->) load -> check effect -> turn off -> fix some value in particles -> start game again consume really huge time usually.
Reply #352 from Sins Forums Top
Yikes. Didn't realize you had to go through all that previously. Sure will make tweaking the little stuff more enjoyable I guess, not having to do the save/load dance every few minutes.

Bailknight, I was wondering if you could back to me on my earlier post. I really would like to include your enhanced graphics in my mod. I also sent you a PM so please let me know soon.

Hey, bailknight - just checking if you have an ETA for the next release? I know how much work it is to do a good mod, even with tools like ParticleForge, and wanted to know if work is still in progress.

Cheers,

Please read post. It say merging need no clearance, still PM is grateful.

@theRetroboy
I`m still working on my mod almost every day but progress is slow beacuse I have no free time now(1 or 2 hours per a day), and I want rework every TEC and Advent effect I made before(by notepad)for ver 1.3 because they could be better With particle forge.
So I can`t say exacy ETA.. maybe end of this month(hopefully ;) )

Can't wait for the next release, those explosions are increadible, the way Sins is supposed to look. Can't wait to include the new stuff in 7 DEADLY SINS. Keep up the great work.

At first I would like to thank you Bailknight for your absolutly fantastic work!

But there is just one thing I really don´t understand about your mod.
Why are you so bullish about releasing a version without any change in the actual Gameplay? Most fans of your Mod use it because of the enhanced Graphics.
Why don´t you just release two Versions? One with the gameplay changes and a Version without them?

I almost read the whole thread and the only thing I clearly know is that the capital ship explosions are a bit arkward if I´m just using the mesh and particle folder of your Mod.

So I have some questions to you:

1. What effects am I exactly losing when I just use the particles and mesh folders?
2. I dislike your Marza Mesh (but I love your Kodiac though ;)) so I replaced it with the original one, what else do I lose here from your awesome mod?
3. What exactly is in the textures folder?

Anyway I really want to thank your for your work. It´s absolutly stunning and this is the way sins is ment to be!

I really don`t want to go through this again..Just say Its impossible to change things without modify entities.

Many things. Mostly linked with abilities and explosions.





And I have a good news... Ver 1.3 is almost finished. If test play give no major issue It will be released in this weekend.

Nice work.

Makes my mod look like a finger painting :P

Why use that slow-ass video hosting site instead of say Youtube or Gametrailers.com?
To be different? You are just trying the viewers patience, expecting them to sit for 10 minutes and wait while it loads ^_^

Nice mod tough ;>

I don`t think so...

Because Youtube drop video quality too much and VERY Slow to upload (in my location at least)
I`m trying to upload at youtube now but It`ll take some time.

I never think about gametrailer. I`ll check later.
