(RELEASE) THE DOME: Welcome to the future of space duels

THE DOME

Wants YOU!!!!!!!!

 

Fighters, gather round as this is your day of destiny and my word is law in this universe!

You are here to enter THE DOME, because you think you have what it takes to become the ultimate dueler. Think again!

All you brilliant commanders strive by colonising planets and subjugating populations to your bidding in order to extract profits from them! Well not in my world! Here, you have NOTHING but the resources I graceously give you (20K credits/10K metal/ 10K crystal).

You world is a dead world (dead asteroid to be precise) already filled with various structures in order for you to cut straight to the chase! (structures include 1 cap ship factory, 1 frigate factory, 8 combat/non-combat labs and a Planetary Shield Generator).

One goal is simple, destroy the opposing Planetary Shield Generator which will open up the way to his heart (his Dead Asteroid) and when he does...PLUNGE THE BLADE AS DEEP AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN!!!!

Theirs no way round in this mmap, no escape! Once our timer self-detonates, your vessels may flee to the only path they have....THE ENEMIES! No bypasses, no blackholes to warp away..NO! Just a star to separate your two worlds. Use its gravity field wisely my slaves, as if you do not show tactics, you won't come back alive!

 

DOWNLOAD LINK!

----This link contains the files needed to play the mod as well as the "baby map". Place the files in your mod folder and the galaxy file in your galaxy folder of your main sins directory! Be aware, this mod only functions under v1.12 for now!

lol, awsome.

 

Few things

 

I have two sounds that would work Awsome for the timer.

I will them to you, with instructions on how to replace the current sounds with them. But I will need your Email.

 

Second, soon Iwill make series of new maps to be added.

Also, are you going to do the trick I said? have your mod replace the cureent mod folder, so their are no screwups?

REMEBER!! A good mod does NOT require the user to modify the core files. This breaks that when you must place the baby map into the Galaxy file.

 

I will begin popularizing this right away, say....tomaro.

I would like the files that you changed (JUST the changed files) so I can give this to 7 deadly sins.

1) email = [email protected]!

2) I didnt quite get hte mod replace actual mod folder...all I do is the usual trick of copy-pasting into mod folder...its simple manoueuvre! Same for galaxy! All players are capable of doing it..Im sure! and if not...I'm here to help! Just give me a PM and I'll solve the issue!

3) For starters cant we just get DANMAN to at least SEE the actual version of the mod THEN if he likes it, I will gladly hand over the files (even though im not terribly ready to just let go of my baby :( ). I'll survive!

PS: to popularise the mod, how about putting screenshots or a review of the mod (ie. a summary of the game we had) + screenshots into the clan and/or multiplayer section of this forum!! Should get attention!

Reply #3 Top

Alright, I'll email you the stuff ASAP.

 

Fine, I cede on the Galaxy issue. I will be making my Map pack, and uploading it to Media Fire soon (isn't made yet, may be a few days) 

You may do with it what you like after that.

 

Okay, I will take baby steps with getting DanMan involved.

Actully, I should be asking you, are you okay with putting this in 7 DS?

 

 

I like the pictures idea, I'll play a few games with the compy, and write up a short story about our game, that will be sure to draw alot of people.

SWEET!!! About the attention catcher!

As for DANMAN..I dont mind him checking out the mod and testing it...but lets face it..his mod and my mod are completely different! He offers new races...I offer an ENTIRE NEW WAY TO PLAY!

And personnaly, I dont want to see my stuff sucked up so fast into another project! Dont get me wrong! I will eventually without a doubt join DANMAN (if he wants me), but as of yet, Id like to stick to me being able to say its my baby :)

Well, I suggest you PM DANMAN.  He is always in need of slav... I mean bondsme...  I mean willing, non-coerced employees.

LOLLLL!!!! Great promotion your doing towards DANMAN :D

We can feel the love and affection in that reply ;) but sure I'll get round to it eventually (in the very near future!)

Reply #7 Top

Don't worry about Danman, I will handle him

I am already his slav....I mean Bondsme.....I mean non-coerced Employee.

 

Remember, I am working with him and 7DS for my Tri-Pirate mod.

No need to push merging with 7DS, it will be awhile before the are ready for sins 1.12.

 

I have a way to merge your mod and 7DS, unfortunatly, nerfing Timed Charges might change this.

But again, I'll handle DanMan, and I wont give him your mod untill long AFTER your ready, I'll just make him VERY interested.

Reply #8 Top

Sweet! thanks a lot EvilTesla-RG!

Reply #9 Top

do you want to make teh Readme, or shall I?

 

If you did it, it would be alot more complete. But, I can do it if you don't have the time.

 

We NEED a Readme.

Reply #10 Top

Don't worry, DANMAN doesn't take bondsmen, as he isn't Clanner scum, and he doesn't enslave, as he is an American.  He just gets blindly obedient worshippers the American way, by being the best there is.  And I would have a smiley, but these forums have every smiley but a worshipping one.  Don't worry though DANMAN has a plan... :cylon: :borg:   And it involves both of these guys trying to kill each other.  So its a good plan.

Question : If everybody starts with and can only have exectly the same stuff. (1 frigate factory 1 cap factory ect. ect.)
Doesnt that practically eliminate the possibility of playing tec in this game?

Since tec ships are usually only good in quantity and not always quality. Or am I misunderstanding the setup. I prefer to play tec, but don't prefer to be automatically ownd every game

Otherwise this mod sounds like dota for sins. (Will be playing this with some friend over the weekend)

Thank you all for the incredible mods you work so hard on
Your time and hard work is appriciated

Reply #12 Top

Man youd be surprised!! All races are EQUAL in this mod! As Tesla, he play tested them with me (were still applying few changes here and there but core ships are untouched)!

Youd be amased how well TEC is!!!!!! I should post our replay! You would see the carnage it gave +_+

Reply #13 Top

Actully, the TEC I think may be slightly BETTER than the other two civs in this mod.

SO far, we've had to nerf the Timed Charges ability, becouse it is way overpowered with this type of play.

 

so, no, the TEC are not underpowered by anymeans.

 

HOWEVER!!! This version out right how has a few problems, for one, it crashes alot.

BUT!! we know the problem, and I am going to release a HOTFIX this morning, but we will release a final version that is complely fixed ASAP.

lol, I like how I say "we" when this is ShadowMastiffs mod. I am just helping out a little, HE is the brains that cooked this up.

 

PS. SRY Shadow about going over your head with the Hotfix, but I need it for today so I can help promote this mod.

Reply #14 Top

I have now made a very fast Hotfix.

it is simply one file, to install it, Just:

Download it, find your mod file, and place it in the file called "GameInfo"

You will be then asked if you want to replace the original file, click yes.

 

Again, SRY Shadow about going over your head on this.

TO everyone else, Shadow will have  version out in a day or two that is much better than this current one.

Are the crashes just because of Dome, or is the Sins engine starting to break apart when you mod it to the limits?

Reply #16 Top

it is a codding line that shadow mastiff used, that is very unstable.

 

My Hotfix should fix it.

Reply #17 Top

I have also just finished my Map pack.

It contains eight new maps for Shadow Mastiff's THE DOME!

 

Thier are four ffa maps, a four player, a six player, eight player, and ten player

It also has four team maps, four, six, eight, and ten players.

 

The team maps can be played three ways.

As a two team  top versus bottom. (first half of players versus second half)

With two teams, broken off into noumersous one vs ones. (alternate teams, first player is team one, second player is team two, third player is team three, ect)

OR! you can do a differnt number of two person teams! (two teams on four player, three teams on six player, ect)

To do this, simply have the first two players as a team, second two as a team, ect...

 

To install this, simply copy and paste it into your SIns galaxy folder, also note, this includes the original, so you will have to replace one.

No problem at ALL EvilTesla...I'm more than happy to see that you are soo eager to help!

I'm really sorry for delay and you know I would have done it earlier had I not had work + military interview today (got back not 2 minutes ago)!

 

But yes, you have MY FULL SUPPORT! and you can easily use the "WE" mark whenever you want!!!

As for mod, I am expecting to pass my week-end on it (well tomorrow should suffice in getting the little issues out) as to make it tournament ready as of eithyer Sunday or Monday at latest (considering I dont get a heavy duty crash +_+ which I doubt) Backup FTW... +_+

 

SEE YOU ALL IN THE DOME!!!!

Justin S.

I WILL SEE YOU IN THE DOME.

 

Background LORE story out tomarro!

Reply #20 Top

BTW I added link to multiplayer section! Really hope it grabs +_+ would be awesome!

Reply #21 Top

EvilTesla-RG...Could you resend me the DA, sound, Plunder,etc. files!

They didnt pass through Hotmail! Maybe upload them in .rar format onto mediafire and send me the link!

 

BTW All changes have been made!

1) W8ing for sound to complete Countdown (which works like a charm now!!!).

2) Need your revised plunder ability so I can check it out and maybe try to improve it so it aint the "lazy mule" anymore ;)!

Reply #22 Top

alright.

I thought of something.

You need to name the files differntly. For example, the first file you Download should be called something like "The Dome Download 1.1" Then, when you open that, thier is the readme file, and the mod, which is NOT called the same thing as the containg folder something like just plain "THE DOME"

 

also, who wants to do teh Readme file, it MUST be done, adn it MUST be complete. (I'd like to see it before you send it off)

 

alright, I'll just upload the stuff to Media fire

Reply #23 Top

Welcome before that I gotta take care of getting the final 2 elements in..so that the Dome will be complete!

Once that is done, yes..I guess I'll go running off to make a read me!

or..well try to make one!

 

Reply #24 Top

hmm sounds interesting, ill have to d/l it and try it out

 

btw I NEED THOSE MINE CODES

Reply #25 Top

And they ARE OUT!!! I sent you a pm saying theyre already out in the forums somewhere! (check searching for minefield mod)!

But I'll try to refind them for you then!
