I get "no convertion files avaiable"

I get an error that says "can't find path" or I get no convertion files avaiable".  I have the 1.181 toolset and I'm trying to do the SoA2 file folder. cuz it minidumps and I thought it might be cuz I'm @ 1.041 and it may just be at 1.04

Im assuming since we see the and that the wormhole (and 1.04 prob. is crossed out) the patch is almost done.

I am also hoping that the update is almost done.  I am hoping this includes the hotfix (1.041) as well.

That is a very nice looking wormhole. Give them about a week or two more

Awesome work on the starbase btw, looks really great.

I spoke with Shimmer today, and i was mistaken. There will be a 0.3e2 update. It is needed for public testing before we release 0.4e

No we are not ready to release a new update yet. I have stated before that it will take a while to get it ready. We have many things to add before we release it. However Harpo's tools will convert 0.3e1, and its update over to 1.041. It has been done without errors before, and harpo tested his tools with the SoA 2 mod. You need to follow the directions on his tools. It guides you step by step, and its ridiculously easy to do. If you are getting errors then more than likely something is wrong on your end.

Make sure the SoA2 mod is the ONLY mod in the folders before converting. Make sure you add the 0.3e101 update BEFORE you convert it with harpos tools. Overwrite any files in the SoA2 folder with the update.

Be patient we are working on it.

So is it okay if we do update and you guys will start hosting games again?

If its still a couple of weeks away, would have been nice just for you guys to combine the two downloads you have up now and use harpo and update to 1.04 and upload it so we can all play until then

Anyway, I am about to give it a go my self. Will be interesting to see if I can get it to work. If so I will be up to play with you guys

the only error I get with the soa 2 0.03e101 updated to 1.041 entrenchment is to do with a new string entry

harpo

But does that error make the mod unplayable?

trancenova, it has not as it is only one item displayed on the bottom of some infocards. and the error is in the string file that the mod updater does NOT touch.

harpo

Cool, thanks harpo, I will give it a try and let you know how it goes shortly

hm, okay. would you please be so kind to explain what i have to to, to get the mod working?

i still have the mod and the last patch in my modfolder. i think i have to copy it in the entrenchment 1.04 folder. what do i have to to after i copied the files?

or do i have to install 1.41 first? or what? or how?

thanks

dennis

the only steps that I have done for any 1.03 and earlier mods updating to 1.04 & 1.041 is 1st update the mods with the mod updater, then (because of added essential entity files) is run the 'manifest maker for mods' and build a new entity.manifest for the mods then I load the mod into entrenchment 1.041 and play

by the way for sins 1.18 & entrenchment 1.04 I would recommend the modding utilities 1.18a rar,
but for sins 1.81 & entrenchment 1.041 I recommend the harpo's modding utilites 1.181.rar, but the bugfix is worth having so get the sins /entrenchment update.

harpo

I realised that I deleted the files from the mod folder when they stoped working so I cant even use the the tool as it asks to naviate there and there is nothing there now. When I show it to the new downloaded files I get a error. number 52. I could probably fix this, but I dont want to spend to much time on it knowing a update will be out in a few weeks and not many people will be online before that anyway. Just happy that harpo has made such a great tool that helped our modding team fix what the 1.04 broke. Thanks again harpo.

Sorry guys, maybe i'm a dumb, but i don't know how i have to do for install this mod.

I see in the main space 03e version and update, and for 0,4?

Maybe i have to download first 03e and use harpoo update manager?

Ty for reply.. and sorry for noob question

Fun Facts on Starships vs. Borg for the day:

1. How big is a Sovereign Class Starship?
   1. About 700 meters long (over twice as long as a modern aircraft carrier)
   2. About 3 million metric tons (about 30 times heavier than a modern aircraft carrier)
   3. 665,000 square meters of deck area (over half a square kilometer)
   4. (PS - color me skeptical that the crew size of the thing is about 1200 - that's 30 times the ship of an aircraft carrier with 1/4 the crew...)
2. How big is a borg cube?
   1. Slightly over 3000 m on a side.
   2. About 27 billion cubic meters, or 27 cubic kilometers.
   3. Probably about 27 billion metric tons (assuming it’s similar density to a Sovereign Class and to modern naval warships, which are ~ neutrally buoyant in water)
   4. Probably about 9,000 square kilometers of deck space, assuming each deck is about 3 m high (over twice the area of the US state of Rhode Island, about 2/3 the area of Connecticut, or about half the area of Wales for the Brits on the boards)
3. How’s that rack out?
   1. Just in terms of mass, it would take 9,000 Sovereign Class starships to equal a borg cube.
   2. Just in terms of equipment fitting into the space, it would take about 13,500 Sovereign Class starships to equal a borg cube.

Happy hunting.

I doubt anyone here hasn't seen this, but anyhow:

Also, something which might make an interesting mod: Star Trek VS Star Wars. It would be neat if there were a combination of Sacrifice of Angels and one of the Star Wars mods.

For other mods, there's a folder to put it in, which if you use Vista, it is usually hidden, even if you've managed to get there once before... I am not an expert though. It lists the address though which you click "show mod path" in the game under the tab "mods" in the Options menu, such as this is where my mods would be if I had any for the current update on my Vista dominated machine:

Your point Ben? The Instruction including the how to install the mod is on the first post, could have directed the person there

So could you have. Congrats at complaining that I didn't do something that you would have.

i installed the mod, and applied the patch files. but it still dosnt work, well it does work just all the text and menus are about 5 inches to the right of the button, can hover over where they are and u can see the beggining letter of text just off screen. any help would be brill.

ERROR when extracting, i use winrar if that helps: CRC failed in soA2 03E1/Textures/Curry-cl.dds. The file is corrupt

ArkRoyal, try a dozen pages back or so, or somewhere in the 30's, the Curry file has been uploaded several times now. Or you can post your email address and I can email it to you.

Not wanting to seem too lazy, but anyone who has the mod working and updated feel like uploading the changed files? For the sake of my laziness, and the people who just can't seem to figure it out? Thanks!

assuming you have sins 1.17/entrenchment 1.03,  the Mods NEED to be placed here for xp
C:\Documents and Settings\'user name'\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-v1.17
C:\Documents and Settings\'user name'\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-entrenchment v1.03

or here for vista/windows 7
C:\Users\'user name'\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-v1.17
C:\Users\'user name'\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Entrenchment v1.03


NOTE the first two folders after the 'user name' are hidden , so to see them you must first click on 'tools' then 'folder options', then 'view', then click on 'show hidden files& folders' then click ok, then you will be able to browse your want to the folder. I suggest when you find the folder that you create a shortcut to it on the desktop

NOTE 2 the 'user name' in the above paths is your WINDOWS login user name, eg Administrator
