[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.

is it possible to replace planets with asteroid fields in-game? the deathstar should be limited to only being able to be built on 1 planet at a time,
End of quote

Don't think you can do either of those.
Reply #1677 from Sins Forums Top
with the interdictors, i would do it like they did in Sw: Empire at War, and have it as an activatable power, but using it strips shields, and renders it almost completely immobile, and severly reduces the damage it can do with it's gunstitans should be Super Star Destroyers, and the Sun Crusher, and whatever other super-death-shi[s pop up in the expanded universe.the Death Star should be the Super-weapon, and like the TECs, it should deal huge ammounts of damage to the planet itself, enought to obliterate the occupying teams population, and produce large ammounts of bombardment radiation, so you can't occupy it again, or is it possible to replace planets with asteroid fields in-game? the deathstar should be limited to only being able to be built on 1 planet at a time, and should have a massive cool-down on it's ability
End of quote


Agreed. I think I will use the EAW ability.

BTW,
In case anyone cares or is keeping count, with the version 1.3d, since its release in June, over 11,000 downloads have been tracked. These do not count the ones I can't trace...
Thats a lot of people playing 7 DEADLY SINS...

The only solution I can see in that case would be to have a Death Star take up over half your fleet supply so that only one could be built and the rest goes into your fleet. Obviously, not elegant and would just piss people off more than anything.
Reply #1679 from Sins Forums Top
But makes sense. The Death Star was supposed to be a weapon to make fleets obsolete ,so it taking up massive supply makes sense.

Besides, you try resupplying a space station as big as a moon. Takes an entire SSD for just the fresh water probably.

For the infinite thing, just give it a 1 second duration, 0.5 second cooldown, and 0 antimatter cost.Then, just put it on autocast, and there, you're done.... I think...or you could have a 999999999999999999999999999 duration, 0.00000000000000000001 second cool-down. I think the best way is to make it last for about 60sec., cost 300 anti-matter, a range of around 40000, and a 120sec. cool-down. This way its not unbalanced.Yes, either of these will work to make it last indefinatley. Simply put though, if we are worried about being "canon", the Interdictors should just be like mobile phase jump distorters, with the ability being "on" all the time. The Interdictor ship itself is easy enough to kill to make this work and balanced, or just shoot it with an Ion cannon or something like that, and shut it off. Every race has this ability with at least one ship....DANMAN

Awhile back II created a working interdictor phase jump ability that was passive (i.e. always on) and completely stopped all phase jump (for enemies) within a certain radius. And of course, simply destroying the ship or hitting it with an ion burst disrupted the ability. If you'd like I could try and dig out the actual file I used or give you a quick tutorial on how I did it.

My version also caused the Interdictor to be unable to auto-fire, but I didn't have it strip shields and be immobile, though this would be easy to achieve.

Is there a way to make a warm-up time? That would really enhance the effectiveness of disablers.

Hmm...
Think I've got the buff for the interdictor sorted out.
Haven't tested it, had some problems with game in the last couple of hours.  :( 
Anyways, I basically took the range and filter from the black hole, filtered out some of the unwanted stuff, pasted it in what I think is the right spot for it inside the ion blast buff, changed it to only disable phase jump, and bossted it so that it'll disable every enemy ship in the gravity well.
Just tell me where to post it if you want to see it.

I totally forgot that I had posted my interdictor version a long time ago on Wincustomize. (March to be exact) Here's the Link The description explains it pretty well I think. You can use my files themselves for the ability if you want, but you'll probably have to rename them and change a few things since I just changed some values in the original files. And you might have to update it to 1.05 and 1.1 eventually since these files are really, really old, but they might still work.

I'm glad I could help.

I'm not really "part" of it yet per say, as you and I both now I already have too much on my plate, but I will be helping them down the line. I will get the link and I will post it later.

Also, I'll be giving you the Marathon soon. It is almost done. Just wanted to put on some finishing touches.

Old TEC battleship from SoTSE beta :D

Hey Danman I have a strange question:
When will be the 2.0 release?
What is strange in this question?
Becase I hope that that 2.0 won't be release ASAP, but in month or two from now. I know that it's a bit selfish but I won't be able to test new 2.0 till then, so I would be more than happy to hear that it will take some time for next release (more time more new stuff for me) :D
Reply #1697 from Sins Forums Top

Jamie Banks,

 

I believe it's in the 2,0 Beta. (Haven't been able to play mods in a while)

Also look for the Star Wars Mod thread.

Glad someone noticed where the TITAN TCA ship is from.  It is in fact called the TCA KOL BETA, a new experiment ship designed to better defend Trader space.  Here is the ship in action:
