[MOD] Planetary Mod v0.1 - - Updated: 01/11/2009

This mod is for all those folks that enjoy a little spice in thier planets while playing vanilla sins as this mod will do.

I have tried my hardest to make notes of everything I have changed to make merging this mod into any other mod due to the fact that I enjoy mods period but they all lack in some way and its ussually the planets suns and moons that suffer.



mods included in this new merge so far are:


Sins Plus - created by Uzii   
[ w/o the graphical mod as updated to 1.11 by annatar11 ]


Solar Mod - created by cybdevil   
[ updated by myself to 1.11 ]


HammerRS - created by hammerson  
[ the only portion I used was his moon modification and I greatly improved it. ]


and lots of tiny tweeks by me.

 

coming soon to the new merged mod, I hope with danman's ok, will be portions of his solar sins plus.

well I hope you folks like this "merge" of some great mods so far, Its been d/l about 20 times so far but no one has commented soI guess you like it and have no complaints yet... ( crosses fingers ).

 

I was messing around and finally got around to removing a few small errors it had been trowing nothing youd notice if you dont play with error notification on and it didnt effect game play but it bugged me because it meant there was a problem somwhere.

 

and I played it after that and I noticed some planets had wierd abilitie problems I belive it was happening because of updating to 1.11 so if after having fixed the errors I noticed befor the merging they are still there I will have to learn about planetary bonuses and see if i cant fix those.

 

I did happen to merge this mod with "soa2 v0.03b" ( witch is fantastic mod go play it now! ) and I got a weird debries error, for some reason it would say it could not find the debries mesh wich was really odd so it gave me a minni dump. Im hoping that by fixing the original errors and re merging the two I will fix the problem, not really having anything to do with anything you folks would be concerned about but it shows you sometimes merging can be a pain.

 

that means when I have the fixed version done I will upload it and update the link up top there.

 

also the map link is for an ingame made map I used to view changes made to the merged mod, its handy if you just want to see what the planets and moons look like and you can add or remove planets from the list to customize a playable map of your favorite sins plus and cybdevils planets.

 

also if you decide you dont like terran type moons for jupiter or any other type moon you can easily remove them by altering the AsteroidDef.asteroidDef file scroll down to the list of mones and remove the Moon_Terran_0 line. dont forget to update the mesh count above it!

 

well I guess thats all just wanted to give folks a heads up about the small errors I was fixing, and I hope to have some more fun stuff for the "merge" soon!

Yes, please update the D/L link.  I didn't even know you had released this yet either.
