Is this working with the new 1.12 patch?  Question i'm seeming to have an issue with installing the mod.   I unzipped the file into the mod folder and instead of finding a file called bailknight I had the 7 sub folders showing and couldn't locate the bailknight main folder am I screwing something up?  Help!

Reply #527 from Sins Forums Top

Look at Bailknight's original post and it will give you an idea as where to unzip to.  If this doesn't work for you go into the game and into mods and click find mod path and it will tell you where to send the files.  As far as 1.12, I have the same question.  I won't upgrade until I know it will work with this mod.  Its that good!

Just loaded the game up with the mod and it appears to be working fine.  Think Annatar has said it will work in another thread as well.  You should be fine.

Reply #529 from Sins Forums Top

Yeah, both the 1.11 and 1.12 patches were just the game .exe changes, the GameInfo stuff wasn't touched so there's no problem :)

I'm still having an issue with installing it.  I placed it in the right mod folder this isn't the only mod I have on the computer.  I've tried using winrar and 7zip both are extracting the 7 sub folders in the mod file and not the bailknight main folder.  For lack of trying I tried to create the bailknight folder and place the 7 sub files into them but that just ended up giving me a mini dump.

I was able to get this to work via another mod that had this with it.

Reply #532 from Sins Forums Top

Im running 1.12 and I can't seem to get this to work at all. I've used this mod before with 1.05 and it worked fine, did the same install with 1.12 and ever time I try to enable it, the game locks up and I get a runtime error.

Make sure you're using the files from this link:

The links in the original post are from Bailknight and only work with previous versions.

Thank you whoever keeps editing the OP :P Kryo, I assume!

Annatar,

I've encountered an issue with 1.12 I think.  My assailants and sents are autocasting their special ability and immobolizing themselves.  This is constant, whether the enemy is present or not.  This didn't start happening until I upgraded to 1.12.

I reinstalled everything with no luck.  The only thing that stops it is disabling the bailknight mod.

Reply #537 from Sins Forums Top

Well, 1.12 did have a change to Assailant/Sentinel behavior, but I don't think it changed the entity files? I'll try to take a look at it soon and see what's up. Thanks :)

Reply #539 from Sins Forums Top

All is as I feared, Entrenchment added new particles. We'll have to track down Bailknight or someone willing to make particles in his style for Entrenchment.

Yup. Didn't ManSh00ter integrate it into his volumetric explosions mod, though? I'm pretty sure he can do the particle gig, if he's willing :)

Reply #541 from Sins Forums Top

Lets lure ManSh00ter in here and bribe him to create the new particles!

Reply #542 from Sins Forums Top

Any luck on the assailant/sentinel issue?  I'm primarily a Vasari player.  I'd go back to 1.11, but I don't think that's possible is it?

Reply #543 from Sins Forums Top

Not unless you backed it up. Honestly, I don't think it's anything on the mod's end. Ironclad directly tweaked the behavior of this one ability for Assailants and Sentinels in 1.12 but the entity files did not change as far as I can tell.

Or does it not happen if the mod is off? (I think I read another thread you posted that made it sound like it happens in vanilla, too).

Reply #544 from Sins Forums Top

I'll take a look at the new particles and bring them up to speed, when Entrenchment comes out (didn't preorder) and unless someone beats me to it with a quality job. Hehe, the mod name will get a bit long then... check this out: "Volumetric Explosions & Damage Effects Merged With Bailknight's Effects Modified by Annatar11 And Then Modified by ManSh00ter". :p

(don't worry, I won't push my fireworks in the package by default so the name shouldn't be that long ;) )

Hey I didn't either :( I didn't even ask for the thread edits, either someone else did or one of the mods just took it upon themselves.

 Hello Leondegrance i had the same problem with assailant and sentinel, think i found a fix go to ( my computer,(C:),program files,stardock games,sins of a solar empire,gameinfo,copy and paste 2 files to your desktop abilitychargedmissiles.entity and abilitychargedmissileslight.entity  place both files in bailknight 1.1 gameinfo folder and overwrite) hope it works.

Reply #549 from Sins Forums Top

Thanks for the fix. 





3. Changes - Gameplay
   1. Radiation Bomb and Incendiary Shells skills slightly changed for better visual represent. Efficiency is almost same.
   2. Charged missile ability silghtly changed for better unit control.
   2. Overall Culture efficiency doubled.
   3. Fighters maneuverability doubled.
   4. Phase jump inhibitor`s effective range incresed  from 31500 to 50000
   4. Pirate Gauss Defense damage reduced from 120 to 100
   5. Pirate Gauss Defense hull reduced from 3000 to 2500

End of quote

 

I do think the mod has something to do with it. Therefore, replacing them with the vanilla ones helps.

But does anyone know what was actually changed to 'improve unit control' ? The change might have been beneficial in some ways but it backfired generally. Some sort of tweaking might help.
