Quick synopsis

This mod introduces the colonial and cylon factions to the Sins of the Fallen universe. Both races will be playable with any of the planets, addons, and races included in Sins of the Fallen including the stock races. Both the colonial and cylon's factions will be balanced against the stock factions to support this approach. 

 

Colonial Fleet

Relying on heavily armored and armed ships the colonial fleet is always on the defense looking for cylon incursions. Lacking shields of any kind Battlestar Point Defense systems are used to intercept incoming weapons and minimize damage to nearby frigates and cruisers supporting the fleet.

Oh ya the Cetus. I don't like it so that's probably why I didn't recognize it.

It's my favorite ship in the mod. So our tastes must vary.

Quoting Mord_Sith84, reply 1184Hey Z, my internet has run out (limit of 8GB), so I wont be able to download anything until 16th October. Sorry dude. Will be able to help out from this date. 

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/5790092/Temp/Mods-Rebellion%20v1.041.7z (762KB). Fairly big but atleast under a GB. In theory you should be able to extract this to your mod folder and then use TortoiseSVN to receive only updates.

No... I think people want to help but I haven't had anything yet. 

Though this forum is kinda meh for free flowing ideas too. I've thought about moving over to danman's forum where there's atleast some active posters. Maybe get some cross mod synergies especially as this mod is becoming more and more playable. 

I feel pretty good about it's progress and keeping BSG alive in sins... The mod will need input though if people want the core to improve beyond my own designs.

We'd be glad to host a board area for you.  Hopefully some of the Sins of the Prophets guys show up.  They've got a really great team so far and they're making a lot of progress.  If Dawn of the Reapers wants a board too I can arrange that.

That was my thinking too, plus Unikraken is interested in this mod too.

touching up some textures when I can. The team colors on the Asgard were ugly. It took a bit of work figuring out how to extract the color area I wanted but the end result is much much nicer.

Looks Great Z.

Reply #1210 from Sins Forums Top

Nice, so we'll be able to tell which colour owns which ships better?

I'm making the team colors that were already on the colonial ships look better. I haven't looked at the cylons yet to see what needs to be done.

Some cool screen shots in Rebellion. 

Reply #1214 from Sins Forums Top

much better, way easier to tell who they belong to in a fight. I don't think any of the cylon basestars have any obvious markings to have as player colours.

Sucks when the download goes bad on such a large file and limited bandwidth for streaming. I tried at-least.

Nice Screen shots Z! :beer:

Z, I miss seeing Basestars blow up. If I get even a small audio glitch you will be first to know.

Sign me up for the SVN.  :cylon:

Reply #1220 from Sins Forums Top

I apparently gave some of you guys the wrong svn URL. Sorry about that. Given it's a read only SVN link I'll just post it here for anyone that wants to get the mod updates more frequently.

Here's the SVN info.

It sounds like Lavo's tortoise SVN is the way to go to download it.

1) Please download and install TortoiseSVN
2) Next, navigate to your Mods-Rebellion v1.0XX folder (located in ...Documents\My Games\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion)
3) Right-click the folder and select "SVN Checkout" (NOTE: You will need to repeat this Y times in order to add in all the folders of the mod) 
4) Set URL of repository: 
svn://urlhere.com/folder/subfolder
and the checkout directory name
Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion\Mods-Rebellion v1.0XX\MOD NAME
5) Click Ok and let it download. (If the folder is very large:) It is known that at times the download will abort while downloading. If this occurs, run SVN Checkout again, and do not delete the folder you already have, overwrite it instead.
6) You should now have a full directory with a green checkmark
7) To update: Just right-click the folders and select "SVN Update".

* I think you only need the http part below for TortoiseSVN

svn checkout http://zombiesrus5.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ zombiesrus5-read-only

Reply #1221 from Sins Forums Top

Zombies, "http://zombiesrus5.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/zombiesrus5-read-only"  gives me a "URL not found" error when I try to use Tortoise SVN to download from it.

The zombiesrus5-read-only would be the user name if your svn tool required. Just use the part quoted above.

Okay, I just downloaded it and it seems to be working; However, when I was downloading the Colonial folder, it gave me an error and it could not be loaded, so I exited it and tried to update the folder, same thing happened. I then deleted the folder and re download it and appears to be working.

I had a few glitches with the initial download too. But I'm testing updates after each checkin with TortoiseSVN and it seems to be working well after setup.
