[MOD] 7 DEADLY SINS : by DANMAN GAMES (DANMAN3712) ver 2.5 FINAL AVAILABLE to the PUBLIC!

The Ultimate Combo mod - featured in PC GAMER

http://www.danmangames.com
from Sins Forums

Welcome to the 7 DEADLY SINS mod, as featured in PC GAMER by DANMAN .

 

Welcome to 7 Deadly Sins 2.5 FINAL for the latest version of Sins Entrenchment 1.053.
7DS can only be played at HIGH maximum settings. DO NOT USE VERY HIGH settings. This will cause a minidump. Also, there is an issue with Win7 64 bit. You will get crashes, load errors, or the game will not even play, with or without warning. Just keep reloading the game and trying until you actually get into the game and play. This is a Windows problem, not a problem with Sins or 7DS.

 

7 Deadly Sins is:

The ultimate combo mod, the "unoffical" expansion of Sins of a Solar Empire, or so it has been dubbed by the mod community.
The work of many individual modders working together under my leadership (DANMAN3712).
Nearly 4 years old and downloaded in various forms over 100k times worldwide and in 5 languages.

Together, we form the 7DS Mod Team and the backbone of DANMAN GAMES www.danmangames.com

 

7 Deadly Sins is the combination of original 7DS Team content and other mods including:

Sins Plus - By Uzii

Battlecruisers -very heavy armor, 2 to 3 weapon banks for anti-cruiser, destroyer and frigate duty
Capitalships -capital armor
Dreadnought -capital armor, incredible firepower and durability

Imperial Executor SSD Shield Overload
Atlantian Avatar Stellar Converter (beam with damage to all in path)
Triad of Creation -Lapis Blackhole Generator and Spatial Compressor Wormhole Weapon

 

New Special Abilities

Cruiser Squads of 3 strikecraft
Capital Squadrons of 6 strikecraft; largely used by Hangars
Titan Wings of 9 strikecraft; also used by Starbases

 

Mobile Starbases -all races possess starbases that can move about the gravity well to interdict enemy forces -assault carefully.

 

12 Playable Races with their own traits that make them more unique, from being a total offensive race, to a highly researching race. Each race now has its own unique tactics of gameplay.

Trader Emergency Coalition- solely based on trade and swarming, with little military might
Corpo-Nations that have rebelled against the Trade Order. Their military might stripped, they have turned to allying themselves with various factions and hiring mercs for protection.
TEC has new Battlecruisers, mercenary contracts, and EMP shells that bypass shields to a small degree.
Trade Coalition Armada- the military arm of the Trade Order
Once the development arm of the Trade Order, they are now the last hope for the Trade Order and humanity. Their ships are bricks with extreme range railguns.

TCA has state of the art weapons on traditional capitalships plus the Dresden and Athena Dreadnought and Beta Kol Titan.
The Orion Unity- modified Orion and Advent Combine
Some Orion split with the Atlantian-Orion Combine to guide the Advent towards their ultimate evolutionary stage. TOU ships are stronger, faster and deadlier; They can even travel between worlds using the Phase Stabilizer technology of the Tempest Titan.
Ship research boosts weapon performance.

DARK FLEET- modified Vasari
The Dark Fleet is all that remains of the Vasari. Where the weak Exodus ran often and fought rarely, the Dark Fleet seeks total dominion through force of arms. Their 5 Titan ships roam looking for prey.
Play style is familiar with greater armor, firepower and destructive potential.

Imperial Armada- from Star Wars
Guided by a clone of General Thrawn, the wasteland armadas of the Imperial Armada can employ powerful Force Alchemical Technology and even unleash the power of the Executor Super Star Destroyer.
Can unlock Jedi and/or Sith Holocrons for performance boost to defenses or offenses respectively -and at the expense of the other.

Rogue Cadre- Playable, custom pirates
Rob, pilfer, and steal your way to greatness. The Rogue Cadre is a melting pot of human cultures, Advent refugees and what remains of the Vasari. They have gathered against the TCA, TOU, Atlantian-Orion Combine and TOC to free humanity from tyranny, mysticism and slavery.
Posess the Precursor Titan and The Machine -the latter capable of capturing capitalships

Arilou Vanguard- UFO race from the Star Control Games
Not being of this dimension, the Arilou do not rely on money and normal means of transport or construction. They simply spawn ships from their "motherships", and travel through Quasispace, which propels them at near instant speeds from planet to planet.

Ur-quan KohrAh Third Doctrinal Fleet- Death race from the Star Control games
Totally aggressive, the Korh-Ah are built for battle. They are all offense, and barely any defense. They focus on exterminating every race and every planet they find, and almost every ship is capable of boming from orbit. Their goal is to "cleanse" the universe of all other sentient life, anything that is not an Ur-Quan.

Ur-Quan KzerZa Third Doctrinal Fleet- Slaving race from the Star Control games
Unlike their Kor-Ah cousins, the Kzer-Za believe in a diplomatic approach, let alone old habits of enslaving entire races into their Hierarchy. They have grown from their 10,000 year old ways, and are more good than bad now.

Atlantian-Orion Combine- the ultimate race, the seeders of life (the gods)
The Combine are part of the original Creator Alliance and responsible for seeding galaxies with genetic data. The Orion are the protectors and defenders until the Atlantian vessels can be fielded. Their greatest strength is their technology, but the loss of labs remove bonuses gained from research.

Taalo Horde- Ancient Rock race, from the Star Control games
As if the universe itself groaned for a protector, the Taalo have awakened from a million year slumber only to find old allies -the Atlantians and Arilou stripping the galaxy of semi-sentient flo-metal. They are the ultimate enviromental defender with a naive sense of justice. They have incorporated alien technology into their asteroid bodies with great results.

Triad of Creation- Ancient Destroyers of Worlds, Galactic Enslavers
The Triad of Creation, the Dnyarri, Antaran and Lapis, seek to eradicate all life in the universe. They nearly destroyed the Atlantian-Orion Combine in the Ori galaxy by turning their creation -the Vasari- against them. They emerged from within the Rogue Cadre taking a sizeable portion of their population into slavery. Their fleets struck the Taalo and Dark Fleet with vessels designed for infiltration nearly crippling the two factions.

Hey DANMAN, got an ETA on the next BETA release of 2.0? Can't wait to see the Dark Angel in its full glory with all those cannons blazing. Will it be delivering broadsides or just firing one after the other? I certainly hope those frontal cannons perform as they are advertising right now with their massive size.

Also, will you be adding in Dolynick's Stargate Ancients mod in as well? I kinda actually prefer them to your Atlantians.

You can only have one mod on at a time, but you can pick which one. You can have it set to load the mod at game opening if you want.

@ Danman3712 here is the Mod for Master of Orion 3, i had been a member of. It may be contained some good idea for you. Ultima Orion Mod 0,87The contained Leader Mod, would be interesting to you. My teammate S'yandlwir had done it, it's a very good One.If it help you, we would be glad about it.
End of quote


Thank you Killy, and my answer is YES! My goal in the beginning of this mod was to bring MOO and Star Control back to life. This will help me with accomplishing that goal. Please, any ideas or things you can help with, please do so! I will check out your mod in depth. I also plan to add races like the Silicoids and the Psilons in, but all it due time. I need to make them unique enough to have people play them, or they would be wated races.
Is anyone else having an issue with random maps online and all players suddenly not in the same game? I heard of a bug that was supposedly fixed in the last patch that had to do with players disconnecting or losing sync from their online sins games. I was told it may be the mod I'm using that could be the issue but I haven't seen anything on it so I think not. This is my situation:When I play vs. a friend online, I noticed particularly on the random medium map we at some point lose sync. There is no warning and we keep playing on until we find one another and discover the other is just sitting there doing nothing. We both are fully patched, have the proper ports open in our routers, and have this mod installed properly. The weird thing is we can still send messages and even trade credits with one another as if we were in the same game but we are not. It is frustrating because we have no idea we are not on the same map until we find each other. No one else is having this issue with this mod are they?

I have also experienced this, but it seems to be a problem with ICO, not the mod.

George,
Start the game, go to options, then click on mods. Then click on show mod path. Write that down. Then exit the game. Open your explorer on windows, and click on view, then folder options. Click on view and turn on the hidden files. Not you can see where you have to put the mod.
Then, go to the mod path that you wrote down, and once there, paste the unzipped mod in the MODS folder. Then, start the game, options, mods, then click on the mod name, and activate it. THERE YOU GO!

Love the mod, mate. Question though, any plans of including Sins of Althaea (sp)? mod? I'm a huge fan of BSG and I think it could add a lot to this mod as well.Is this mod done yet? Is so, and permission is given, I say yes! I am also a huge BSG fan.DANMANTo my knowledge it's not done yet, but I believe one of the developers asked you in a thread somewhere if you were interested in including it. I think they asked somewhere in their own project thread.

I will check this out! Thank you!

UPDATE:New videos up in the main post! Turn up the volume!DANMANImpressive. Though the flickering in the first one distracted me a bit and for the second, only the music will play for me. What song is the first one?
End of quote


The song is called Torpedeos, by KMFDM.

The second is called Looking for Strange, also by KMFDM.

Yes, about 70% sounds good. And the next release will still be BETA, limited to Mod Developers and Playtesters.

There are some pics in the 7 DEADLY SINS forum, but I have many more to post. Also, there is a new site in development, which will feature all the pictures, videos, content, readme's and storylines with all the new races. It will also feature some of my other work outside of Sins. This site will launch with the 2.0 final release.

TRAITOR!!!!! No...just kidding. Yes, I plan to add the Ancients in as well. Story line for them...the Atlantians are older, and the Ancients are their children that got left on Earth when the Atlantians fled the galaxy. I also plan to incorporate his Ancients into my Atlantians, as he has done a lot of tech tree work that I have not had the time to do. Thanks for the suggestion Sparda.

Also, the DarkAngel will fire using broadside attacks with all those cannons blazing. It will launch Phase Missle "torpedoes" from it's front launch tubes, and will fire a heavy gauss cannon ability from its main deck guns.

Sweet. Thanks. Oh, by the way the Rogues need phase missile research as well because currently I don't think their missiles phase through shields. In vanilla the Vasari's didn't phase either until you did at least one level of phase research. Do the Atlantians have phase missile research done? IF not, then they need it too.

Hi DANMAN

I'm using 1.4 still and when I unzipped the file it contained the folders which I placed onto the C drive in mods folder. I have used an older version of your mods which showed a list of mods (in game) when I enabled the mods, with this one I can't. Is this because 1.3d is not compatible with SINS version 1.04?

Yes Jean Luc, you need to update your version of Sins to 1.05, or the mod will not work properly as it is based off of 1.05 files.

Danman,

I really enjoyed playing this mod although i downloaded the 1.3d from the title screen and i was wondering if i had missed some of the updates for the mod. also for the Kur Ah the maruder was only attacking in one derection with one weapon if you could talk to the designer to increase the damage or perhaps give it a couple of side weapons that would be cool.

P.S. if there is any updates to the mod could i get you to repost the latest version, or perhaps tell me where to find it.

Thank you much. ^^

The versions as I know it are 1.3d and the Beta 2.0 (Which doesn't work for everybody.)

As for the Kor-Ah, the ship did that in 1.3d, but I believe that has been changed for the beta. (Not sure as I'm one of the ones that the beta doesn't like. ;p

You have the most current version. The 2.0 BETA is for playtesters and Mod developers that are part of my team. This is open access of course, you only need to sign up if you wish to become a playtester.

As for the Kohr-Ah Marauder, this is exactly as how it was back in the days of Star Control. It has not changed for the BETA except for a few abilities. The other Kohr-Ah ships fire from the sides and use different weapons as well.
So, it is true to the original, but the others are more varied. I made each ship, so I am the designer. I hope this information was helpful to you!
