Can anyone tell me how to install the Real Capital Ships mod?

I DL'd the file and placed the GameInfo folder into c:\docs...\"user"\local\....mods folder, and it shows up in the Options/Mods list, I enable it but the cap ships still look the same.

Same problem for all the mods I have downloaded and enabled...do any of these work?

Of course they look the same. I have not changed the models yet. Technically i changed them (size for example) But sadly i haven't found a way to export them back into the game... there is only a importer/exporter for 3D studio max, but i don't have it.

just the stats are changed so far.
the folder "...\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods\Echte Schlachtschiffe" must contain the unpacked "GameInfo"-folder

I unpacked it there and I see no difference in the stats...what are the stat changes of say the TEC carrier so I can recheck it...

ohh, ok I was wondering why they looked the same....It's a fresh game, I'm sure full version mods will be out soon enough.

I dont see that coming too soon. I think i have to buy 3D studio max. And even for the student version i'll need my next payment :D

I'm having trouble installing this file, I downloaded it and put it into the mods folder of the game. It shows up in the mods tab in the options menu, however, when I set it to enable, the screen freezes up and nothing happens. when i hit escape, the game crashes.

I have tried it on the original game, one patched to version1.03 and another patched to version 1.05.... the funny thing is , the mod worked when i installed it once way back.... don't know whats worng now, its a killer mod, it makes the game...don't even feel like playing the game without it....

Any suggestions ?

I made a new version for SINS 1.16 today. So i suggest to update the game to the newest Version and try the newes mod.

You have a link in the RCS For Entrenchment for a new version.  The Filedropper link does not work.

 

I have it installed properly, but I am not seeing any new research.  Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place.  Please advise.

well, here I got a version that should work with Entrenchment 1.02. Unfortunately, I have no clue why mods don't work as soon as there's a new patch or how to make them work again :(
