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.

I've got to be honestly fair, if I remember the talk correctly, the Cetus was the ship that left Kobol. With that size of a ship the Columbia/Jupiter class battlestars were more than likely not the first Battlestars that the Colonials made, but most likely the first of the Cylon war. Also, there's is this: End of gladiatormaster87's quote

I don't recall where I read it, but this classification was never official. It was as that note said, something the artist tagged it with.

Reply #1002 from Sins Forums Top

I wasn't saying the class, I was just saying that it was a high possibility that Galactica's line was not the first Battlestars.

Galactica is one of the first 12 Colonial battlestars. there may have been some before that. the Mercury class is the last of the colonial battlestar classes to be produced, least that's my understanding of it.

Looks awesome, wish I could try it.

The core mod (SotF Core Reb.0) causes my game to mini-dump when enabled.

Using the most recent "Rebellion.0.4.7z" download

Actually the Valkyrie class was the last Battlestar design. mercury class was built to replace the Columbia class. Then Adar started downsizing the fleet. Building Valkyries instead of mercury's.

I stand corrected. I also agree with Admiral Adama, Adar is a moron.

Reply #1010 from Sins Forums Top

Yeah, its not working for me either.  Plus it doesn't help that there are no instructions for Rebellion version and the zip has a bunch of broken files. Ship models look great posted here. 

Reply #1011 from Sins Forums Top

If your having problems re download it and use the latest version of 7z to unzip it. you want to have them in this order in game.

Planet Mod, Militia Mod, the races you want,SOTF core mod Reb.0.  with the planet one at the top and the core at the bottom.

The instructions are the same for Diplomacy or Rebellion and the zips aren't broken. Are you using the latest version of 7zip as Arfoire suggested?

Thank you! I was assuming that the core mod needed to be top of the list, and that race needed to be above militia.

Still crashed with nothing but the core mod enabled when i tried earlier, but I'll try again with a race+core mod tomorrow.

Reply #1015 from Sins Forums Top

Okay, it works now per your instructions. Did Sins Plus planet mod, then colonial militia mod, colonial & cylon race, and then SOTF core mod. 

The splash graphic with the teeth, flesh thing is unreadable. Just nitpicking. 

The main menu however was nothing but "BattlestarGalactic: Sins of the Fallen" and a cylon graphic. You press enter and you can still get into the single player menus, which look fine.

My first game I started with the Colonials. Viper models are awesome, great job. Got the Battlestar Galactica and went for the nearest planet.

So I warp to my first planet, noticed the warp gfx is not there (understandable). Proceeded to fight, and the game crashed under no warning.

Started another game, but with Cylons. They look amazing. I didn't notice any bugging with them except the militia they would fight. Their firing mechanics weren't there. Cylons, wow, that basestar is just like the show, kudos. 

Okay, so this went a little better, got 2 planets captured but the game crashed...however, with an error that Sins had to close down.

All in all, I just wanted to see it in action, great job so far.

Reply #1016 from Sins Forums Top

Oh, about the menu, impossible to get to anything else. Have to go into the files to turn off mod.

I'm assuming this is Trinity/Diplomacy based on your issue. This mod is compatible with the latest 1.34 version. You need to update.

Also, please fully read my instructions which are clearly linked at the top of the OP.

I'm assuming here you have your effects settings way to high. This mod will crash if you don't observe the recommended effect settings.

Then you've have something wrong on your end. Delete the mod, re-download, re-install and follow the activation guide and see if this fixes your problem.

I understand. Most sins mods are fairly simple with a single mod folder to activate. Then there are mods like this such as Sins of a Galactic Empire which has a similar Race/Core structure or even Distant Stars with all it's addons.

I will release what I call a baked version eventually for B&C, but not until I'm close to completion. Baked basically means I'll combine the major content that makes up B&C into a single mod folder so people that don't understand all the stacking possibilities can still play it.

The final release of SotF for rebellion will also be much more optimized such that you should be able to play on mostly higher settings when loading 3 or maybe 4 factions from the 11 available. I'll be doing this by ensuring the Advent, TEC, and Vasari resources only load when those races are stacked in the activation. Currently the resources for these factions are still loaded even if you are only stacking Colonial and Cylons, hence effects need to be set to High/Medium/Low (Ship/Extras/Bump) for most systems currently.
