Multiplayer was a success! Ryat couldn't get in for the first FFA cause of some checksum issues. But after the mayhem of secret alliances and reigning death from above, Carbon shuffled out with Ryat and we had a comp stomp that was anything but. Looking to finish the game later, but it'll be an uphill struggle for certain. Not sure if Gray Dragon can get back in (a dropping issue), but when he sees his forces, he might not want in.

lol, generally thats all I build anyway, held off two unfair AIs with only 6 caps 3 on one side and 3 on the other, just ask Draakjacht, he was impressed (though I had to use LFs to give myself and early boost)

Most of the time I only end up using Cap ships as well and leave the frigates that I have built to act as early warning and defense.  Sort of like the militia fleets that are sitting around doing nothing at each planet before you take over.  Again, sorry I couldn't hang out longer, but at least the teamspeak before the game was amusing.

I went the all cap route too. First game I didn't do much, but the second game I was hopping back and forth providing assistance. Damned AIs were on my like flies on dung.

Am I the only person who doesnt build hordes of Caps? I feel like the one kid who didnt get the invite to class party. Thanks to all who show up in form or another, I had a total blast playing and laughing on TS. And for those of you didnt show up....

Hi guys, first off awsome mod ! I have only played for 15 minutes, so I am sure I missed 80% of the patch in total ( the new effects etc )

 

However, I wont get that far.. it crashed 15 minutes into the game, I just targeted my Heavy cruiser + Carrier + 2 Frigates to attack the enemy ships, and it crashed

 

Second time it crashed, I noticed all the asteroids were not showing up, which looked pretty wierd! So I checked to mod in main menu, and crashed again..

 

I use Trinity version,  diplomacy v1.011.


Without the mod, I haven't crashed at all since I bought it, but it seems to with this mod, which is a damned shame!

 

pc specs:

HDD: Western Digital 2x  WD1500HLFS (150 GB) Raptor's in raid 0
PSU: TruePower New Series TP-750 (750 Watt)
MBB: Asus P6T SE (Intel® X58)
RAM: Kingston HyperX 6 GB DDR3-1600 Tri-Kit 8 8 8 24
CPU: Core™ i7 950 (4x 3066 MHz)
GFX: 2x HD5870 (ATI Radeon HD5870) (crossfire)
SFX: Club 3D Theatron Agrippa 7.1

*edit* digged around a bit more, it is the 2 gig thingie I guess? How come that without the mod it doesn't crash, but with it, it does? Trinity perhaps doesn't reach it? Even in 12 hour games =s

oh no, private games i have with a friend (who is bored of the game now mind you :/) we would only fight unfair AI, and we would only build caps, and would end up with the full cap fleet (only need up to the 4th fleet thing i think ) but it helps with the lag ALOT...but then the ai would build about 4 full fleets lmfao, so about 2 hours in it would lag to  a near stop.

Edit: but yeah if anyone would like a game like that, im all for it , i have entrenchment and diplomacy, so it does not matter what one, but caps only lol, or else i WOULD love to join in these online games :/

Not necessarily.  Actually, eventually it will, but 15 minutes seems too quick to be doing that.  First thing to do is turn down all of the graphics settings.  You're probably running everything on highest.  Run them on high or medium.  You're not really missing out on anything by doing this.  Turn off the skyboxes too.   Another part of the options menu you can turn off the autopinning of your ships and planets, do that as well.  If the problem persists after doing that, Turn logging on.

To enable logging:
Windows Vista/Windows 7:
C:\Documents and Settings\<Your Windows Username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Setting
or
Windows XP:
C:\Documents and settings\<Your Windows Username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Setting

Open the user.setting file (using Notepad, Wordpad or any text editor) and scroll down to the bottom 7 lines from the bottom is the line:
LogOutput FALSE
Change FALSE to TRUE
LogOutput TRUE

and from then on any Log files will be saved to the debug folder:
Windows Vista/Windows 7:
C:\Documents and Settings\<Your Windows Username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Debug
or
Windows XP:

C:\Documents and settings\<Your Windows Username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Debug

Play, let it crash, and see if anything shows up in the log.  If something does, come back here with the info.  If nothing shows up, then we'll have to go with something else.

As a side note, Ryat, you need to sell more equipment to pirates because their level 10 Battleship losses weapon power.

Level 8
Laser - 78
Missile - 27
AutoCannon - 99

Level 9
Laser - 84
Missile - 29
AutoCannon - 108

Level 10
Laser - 83
Missile - 29
AutoCannon - 106

Also the credit cost for the 4th upgrade for your available cap ship crew needs to be increased.  Right now it's the same as the third.

Yeah, and some people were talking about more 2-D modifications. Not sure if they're just hoping for a small button overhaul or something more. Discuss this and then tell me what images to mod and what direction you wanna go. I can make it all look like meat if you really want (Sins of a Solar Empire: Soilent Green Edition).

Thanks for the help, I made a few adjustments to the settings, and it now doesn't reach 2gig so quick, played for a hour and it was at 1,3 I think.


One thing I noticed was that the perfromance should've been increased, but I feel as if it is decreased. Now this might be because I play against AI that the drops in fps is caused by 'them' but I just want to make sure, does this mod make it 'harder' for performance or not? As you seen my rig should pass this with ease..

yeah, we have enhanced graphix effects (cool guns and explosions) so we are a bit harder on performance but there is a bottleneck in the original game that also causes issues that can only be fixed by having a more powerful single core CPU

Doesn't it still need to be redone so it's compatitlbe to the DS mod? I believe that might be the problem

It wont work together. Plan and simple. If you want it to work together, start modding.


Again we are looking into incorporating some the changes that mod brings into our mod.At a later date.


Lets not make this like the Dynamic Movement and go back and forth for 10 pages.

OK, without reading the hordes of pages, I plugged in the mod (for Diplomacy), but it forces me to play TEC regardless of what race I choose at setup.

 

Is this a bug or a feature? Or am I a big idiot and missed something?

 

Plugged in = dropped the folder into the Diplomacy 1.011 MOD folder. Shows up fine, enables fine as well.
