[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

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.

I think the Arilou need some custom capital ships

I'm sure they're on their way. I'd like to see one that looks like the alien ship from Heavy Metal. If you don't know what I'm talking about, the one halfway through this clip:

Cork2,
Just an FYI, I granted you access days ago. I guess you haven't checked back intot the forums? I do apologize, I don't have time to reply to everyone's playtester requests. I simply just grant access, so you need to check back in the forums often. Go to the official forums, login, and you will see that you are a playtester. Go the the DEVELOPERS section, then to the BETA post. There you will find the link.

New Atlantian ships are coming. 3D modeling is very difficult, and lengthy. It takes at least a week for me to create one ship, and I have been working on other parts of the mod. The Atlantians were my first attempt at modeling, and it is easier to edit prexisting ships than to create brand new ones. Plus, the fact that they use Vasari and Advent based ships, fits my storyline. The Advent are the Atlantians' CHILDREN, and the Vasari are the Atlantians' CREATION.

BUT I am working currently on BRAND NEW ships for the Atlantians. They will be more organic, and aquatic looking. Also, for the ships not changing, they will be getting new textures to make them different from the original models.

if you want to show how the advent and vasari are related to the atlantians, you could use a atlantian ship texture that combines the two othere races.

So danman, for those of us (wierd fucks) that arent that interested in the new races, and where the main reason for loving this mod is all the other things it does like planet bonuses, rogue stars etc etc etc..
Is there anything new to look forward to in 2.0 besides the black holes? Or is it just new races new races new races?
Thx :)

You should know better than to ask that. Of course it is more than just races...

Hey DANMAN

How long do you think it will take to upgrade 7DS to the new Sins beta patch? I guess that's a dumb question sisnce it's not quite out yet eh? LOL

But I'm still curious about your thoughts on this...
Reply #1442 from Sins Forums Top
Frostmage,
It all depends on how game altering the new patch is. So, hopefully not too long.

DANMAN
Reply #1443 from Sins Forums Top
Dan,
you sure you want to put the next true release on a Beta patch? There could be bugs that are bad enough to mess with 7DS.

On a better note, it'll allow up to 9 capital ships! Hooray! (Now all we need is animatable turrets).
Reply #1444 from Sins Forums Top
And you will like the new ones....
End of quote

Actually no, i wont/dont :P
For the simple reason that they are not new races at all. They are all almost carbon copies of the original races, or just with some pirate ships and some vasari, or some vasari and some advent.
I dont want to be mean, but thats why i never cared for the new races in this game, mod-wise. Because they just arent new. Yes the Empire sort of is, but then again im not that much of a star wars fan :P

You are not being mean, you are being honest. You also have to undertand the limitations of the game, and how much time goes into creating a race FROM SCRATCH.
In the completed version of 2.0, each of my new races will be just that, NEW RACES.
As I have become more comfortabable with my modding skills, I have made bigger leaps and changes. Each race that I introduce from now on will be its own race, not based off of the originals, except where I explicitly intend to do so, like with my new factions races, the TCA, the UNITY, and the Dark. These are stonger, more powerful versions of the originals, with new ships and enhanced weapons, all while keepin the originals intact, for players such as yourself who want to take out the new races. I don't mind, to each his own. All I ask is that you give the new, completed races a try when they are finally done. If you still don't like them, then so be it. I can see you will be tough to convince, and I will strive to change your mind.

Also, thank you for your help with the sounds. It worked perfectly.

Also, thanks to who gave me support with the BETA, the new one is up.

Patch 1.1 will provide challenging, and I will have to run Sins on two different computers just to keep both the 1.05 and the 1.1 going. I will see how 7 DEADLY SINS can take advantage of the new patch. I will keep you all updated. Also, I am now on IMPULSE for those who want to check me out there.

Go get the 7 DEADLY SINS 2.0 BETA B!

DANMAN
Reply #1446 from Sins Forums Top
Danman, just a heads-up: if you want to make truly new races, either get yourself a big team of capable and dedicated people or count on at least six months of doing nothing but art assets (models, textures, icons, particles, etc.) per race.

I base this off my own experience - I am fairly quick with modelling and texturing, and I still can't churn out more than a couple models a week, and that's a burnout.
Reply #1447 from Sins Forums Top
What is new in the subfactions? I didn't see any model changes during the 20 minutes while I tested out the TCA.
Reply #1448 from Sins Forums Top
TCA will be a cooler looking TEC, with better effects for weapons, including a surprise that you will have to wait for, and have new ships added later including a long-range cruiser. Did you happen to check out a TCA capital? The clone races have uber-leveling capitals.
Reply #1449 from Sins Forums Top
Yes, the new subfactions take advantage of Kreyson's Battlewagon mod. They will have new ships and better effects like Rail Guns in the next BETA, which is now a far ways off.

I made the mistake of updating to the 1.1 Beta patch. Modding is NOT supported. So, I now have to uninstall Sins and put it back to the way it was before, in order to do anything. I was trying to take advantage of the new 9 Caps and visuals, but so far I have yet to get my mods to work. I think I will need to crack their new filse first, but that will take some time. I will use my other computer (the slower one) to continue on with 7 DEADLY SINS with the 1.05 patch.

So, I may or may not be down. All depends on how much they actually changed. I just got done a 3 hour game with the 1.1 patch, and I did not notice any big changes accept for the GUI and minor graphical changes in effects and the models are SLIGHTLY different, not anything to get all jazzed about. I was more interested in the hardcodes going away and the modding support, which right now I can't get into.

So thats the story so far...I'm hittin the sack.
