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.

Quoting koobalt, reply 2016


Sorry if You feel offended by my previous post.
End of koobalt's quote

Nope, wasn't offended Koobalt, just wanted to be honest, considering that we both have a lot of interest in Cylons getting finished. 

Could you do me a favour and check: 

- When you build a light basestar and zoom in on it, does it make a weird recurring sound? Not an engine sound? 

- When you build the Boomer Class titan and hover over its ability buttons, does it crash when you try to click on the first ability? (the red programming code icon)?

Want to see if its just me or not.

Quoting Cylon_Luvr, reply 2024Ok. My preference would be to change it to Colony Pods. Obviously your decision though! 

I'm fine with the change after understanding what you meant a bit more. Read my suggestion on keeping the idea of Syphon Credits- but maybe moving it to a different research tree.
End of ZombiesRus5's quote

Ok. Reason I wanted to change it is because when this research is complete, the starbase will show a population i.e. 50, 100 etc. It wont display tax credits like a capital ship would i.e. 2.0. 

So it may look a bit weird if the starbase has a population with no explanation as to why (Syphon Credits wouldn't exactly "marry up" with why there is a population). See what I mean?

I figured out your sound issue. It's the long range missiles we are still tweaking. It had the phase cloak sound applied from the vasari ability it was cloned from. So that issue is resolved.

Ok- as I'm not having the issue on my side... so what I'm going to do is run a clean build that deletes any file in the mod folders that isn't in my workspace for sanity's sake.

I'll then upload a clean full version of the latest mod. You will need to DELETE your current version of the mod before you unzip the contents. I won't make any guarantees if you don't (I won't make any guarantees regardless though).

We can determine if there's some other issue after we do that. In my opinion I think it's a file conflict from files that were used previously, deleted and then re-added with a slightly different case in the files.

Well... this is the problem. I have this line.

buffType "BuffCylonSupervirusTarget"

Not sure how we got out of sync- but BuffCylonSupervirus is not in the entity.manifest anymore and is causing your mini-dump.

Your Welcome Z. :grin:

I also figured out why the mod mini-dumps when deactivated in the Options->Mods menu...

There are special "cosmetic" entities that display the Titans in the main menu area. While it's possible to add new cosmetic entities and display them in the main menu- the game throws up when you try to deactivate them  #:(

This means only 6 custom ships can be displayed in the main menu and will be controlled by whichever race is on top.

 

Loading Colonial and Cylons on top of the order will replace all stock ships with a BSG model in the next update.

Got an AI test game running in the background... Kinda worried it's not building any Heavy Basestars.

My bet would be it's fleet composition is messed up without a light frigate. I may start by adding that as a dual role on something to see if that helps.

is that the base thingy from the end of the show?

Reply #2047 from Sins Forums Top

No it is the Basestar from Rasor if I am not mistaken. or it could be from the 1979 Version of Battlestar Galactica. :beer:

Good work as Always Z.

Yep, in the old BSG series, it was the primary Cylon battleship. In the new series, they were the original basestars used by the Cylons in the first Cylon war and then developed into the new basestars.

Looks awesome by the way Z!!!

Noticed in your pic that it says "Hades Class Class 1A" ... should be "Hades Class Mark 1A" 

Reply #2050 from Sins Forums Top

would be nice if they did some more with Blood and Chrome. It would be cool to see the Galactica and other Battlestars Battling it out with the Hades class Basestar's.
