Ah, very good. Glad you got it sorted.

The mod requires at least one race to be activated. Why? I want to control what races are available by Random AI's which means the mod will mini-dump if no selectable race is found which occurs if only SotF Core R5 is enabled.

This mod has a lot of parts which need to be activated in a specific order. It's easy to follow once you get it down, but simply activating the "parts" any way you want WILL NOT work

Here's a quick rundown on the order of activation:
Planets(0..m)
Addons(0..m)
Militia(0..1)
Races(1..m)
Flagships(0..1)
Core(Required)

0..m is short for 0 to many (i.e. none or all are possible)
1..m is short for 1 to many (i.e. atleast one is required)
0..1 is short for only 1 or none from the possibilities may be activated

Please check out the feature: How To Install Sins of the Fallen R5

Indeed... It's always sort of been there in my local build. I just never tried it like this until myfist0 presented the idea. Then BLAMO, so many possibilities opened up.

I'm uploading a patch to moddb for this now. The intended affect was 1%/2%/3% per level. Given the holiday weekend I'm not sure when it will be approved for download on moddb.

Anyone not wanting to wait for the download can make the following modification to BuffPsiAdaptiveShield.entity ShieldMitigation effect in the SotF Race Advent R5 directory.

entityModifier
buffEntityModifierType "ShieldMitigation"
     value
          Level:0 0.010000
          Level:1 0.020000
          Level:2 0.030000

Hey ZombiesRus5, I'm really loving the Hypercorp race.  Where did you get the inspiration for them?  Also, did you see my comments on Colonial flak in the Blood and Chrome thread?

They are adapted from the role playing game eclipse phase.

My original plan was to create the Rogues, Archailect and Uplifted, but the uplifted models need a lot of work to make playable in Sins. I decided to swap Hypercorps for the Uplifted as a result.

One interesting technical fact about the Hypercorp faction is there are only two texture sheets with all the meshes uv-mapped to one of the two.

Yep, I understood. It's the unintended consequence of making them use ANTILIGHT which would indeed make them better against LRF. I've also always found it somewhat strange that capital ships do 75% damage to LRF as it is...

I had also considered tweaking CAPITALSHIP:VeryLight and CAPITALSHIP:Light to reflect more realistic damage and modifying the ChanceToHitTargetType to reflect the change. Composite already has good modifiers against VeryLight and Light and would really only need a change to ChanceToHitTargetType.

TOP 10 REASONS NOT TO VOTE FOR SINS OF THE FALLEN

10. What fell exactly? I don't get it!
 
9. Seems a little to preachy with Nephilim, If I wanted religion I'd go to church!

8. It's not as cool as the Dr. Who mod!

7. The Plague are obviously just Tyranids!

6. It's not based on the Stargate, Star Trek or Star Wars movies!

5. It's not based on a video game like the Halo or Mass Effect mods!

4. Released mods aren't as cool as un-released mods!

3. It's too difficult to activate and play!

2. It has no chance of winning anyway! 

And the #1 reason for NOT voting for Sins of the Fallen...

1. Where's the Dawn of Victory mod at? I clicked on the wrong link!

Paid in part by "Brewster's Millions" incorporated.

Fallen Addon Research+ partially complete.

This addon at a basic level doubles the levels of research for float based research items. I'll also be adding in the support for colonizing gas giants with this addon and maybe some other custom possibilities. This will allow me to keep the main mod fairly pure to original sins.

I'll need this addon when I attempt to bring back in Distant Stars support with the mod.

Here's a sample of the script that makes this addon low maintenance.

<target name="increase_max_num_research_levels">
  <setdata keyword="MaxNumResearchLevels" value="2" rule="multiply" condition="hasFloatModifiers">
    <fileset dir="${project}/mod/GameInfo" includes="RESEARCH*.*"      
excludes="*MAXCAPITALSHIPS*,*MAXSHIPSLOTS*,*PLANETACCESS*,*STARBASEUPGRADEACCESS*,
*ARTIFACT*,*PACT*,*ABILITYACCESS*,*FRIGATEACCESS*"/>

Pods, Pods, Pods, Archai need plenty of missile pod type abilities...

Gah, sorry about that, been reading lots of Honor Harrington recently.

Anyway, can't wait to see the Archai in action, I was getting worried that you were going to replace them with the similar background Cylons.

It was tempting, but I'm still curious to create a viable capital ship only race.

I should really read Honor Harrington... I feel I'm missing out.

Its a relatively 'hard' space opera, if that isn't a contradiction. Starts off a bit 'lighter' at the beginning, and in the later ones has become a more hard hitting political thing, that still has battles in the background. Its a good series, and tends to be cheaper then most books over here in australia due to some quirk in how they import them. I'd highly recommend them myself, they go into quite a lot (some would say too much) of info dumps at releatively weird times, but they are still good to read, especailly since seem to like that sort of things (due to your  choice in roleplaying games). The newer books even have brought about arguements similar to that which might be discussed if the TEC and Hypercorps went to war (espceially with more then a few transhuman elements.

Anyway, I went a bit off track. While I'd prefer that you bought them and support the author, it is possible to legally get most of them for free as Ebooks from the Baen (the publisher) free CD website. I'd link you to it, but not sure whether or not it would violate forum rules.
