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.

Hello, I just got the Rebellion version of the mod installed and I seem to be having an issue with the randomly generated maps. When the game starts, there are no phase lanes. I double checked to make sure they were not just hidden. I played one of the non random maps and everything was fine.  Has anyone else had this problem?
End of xcanukx's quote

It's the new competitive maps most likely. I have this fixed locally and am still looking for an opportunity to release the latest workings.

Been busy with the holidays and RL.

Yeah, that happened with my mod as well with the Competitive maps. No idea why, maybe the other planets just didn't get created?

Yep, thats it. Just checked a few to be sure. Only happens on competitive maps, no matter if they are random or not. Glad its not just me, was starting to think there as an issue with my game.

Reply #1504 from Sins Forums Top

The competitive maps all reference new planets; if you have custom entity.manifest files and GSDs, perhaps these new planets are not properly referenced?

 Hi, have some time so i make some playing, well lets say i try to do the testing but i think i put to much focus on eradicating colonial than on testing  :cylon:

So:

- so far i didn't find any problem with texture or performance (but i didn't check everything from all site so...)

- don't forget to put description in research what ship for cylon can build star-base, it take me a moment to remember with one, almost loose planet because of this  *_*

 

 - one time the game drop on me when i finish building Base-star, but it never happen again so maybe it was some one time glitch

 

 - well i can't tell much about colonials since they blow to fast for me to check them  :cylon: :cylon:

Love the mod, keep the good work  :D    

PS: you think about ships from Blood&Chrome series or you happy with what we have now?

Hey, I'm having the most annoying mini-dump issue. The game is running fine, etc then perhaps 1-1.5hrs in the game mini-dumps. 

Usually whilst zooming in and out. I don't get the crash with vanilla or SOGE. I have also verified the integrity of the install twice, both times throwing up the re-download message. Another odd occurrence is the selection screen, I get either Fall of Kobol actual or Fall of Kobol with vanilla overlaid? I'll try the SVN check and re-install etc. But in the meantime any ideas?

It is and I really appreciate you taking on the Cylons. I'm hoping it will be the kick in the butt they need to finish off.

It sounds like a memory issue or video card issue if it mainly occurs when zooming in and out of battles. To troubleshoot start up the Windows Task Manager and monitor the memory utilization of Sins when it mini-dumps. If it's somewhere between 1.7-2GB, I would try decreasing your graphics settings starting with Bump. 

 

Reply #1513 from Sins Forums Top

Tested the memory and g card for errors etc not rising above 1.3gb on the huge map (5 stars 147 planets). The dump occurres in the saved game, not tried a new game yet. Is there anyway to view the mini dump files? Dropped the bump to low with no improvement.

Brilliant MOD though mate. 

 

Reply #1514 from Sins Forums Top

Cylon_Luvr i have this small idea for you. The cylon have 7 models from 1 to 6 and 8 and final 5 and the 7 that 1 get rid of...

but to my idea is a 8 research, finishing one unlock the next one, and additional research to this one so maybe i will paint this:

 

When i watch the serial i always have feeling like each model have a role in cylon community:

1- religious one

2- mystic one

3- politic

4- doctor

5- bureaucrat

6 - invigilator

7 - musician

8- soldier/pilot

so like on image when we research one model we unlock something or receive some bonus, and we unlock the research of next model and unlock additional research to this model. Please think about this idea.

Mini-dumps are one of the most frustrating things to isolate because we have no tools to investigate them.

Sometimes it's possible to get lucky and identify what is happening when the mini-dump occurs and fix it.

 

Reply #1516 from Sins Forums Top

Yep mini-dumps are very annoying! So I tested SOGE 4hrs max settings etc all ok. The only constant with the Fall of Kobol and min-dumps happens to be the AI 'has completed a titan' announcement. Quite literally within seconds. Not sure what this could be, I assume it must be a passive ability or something... I re-installed Sins Reb and re-downloaded the mod to no avail. Again, great mod and just trying to help :grin:

Really! I hardly ever delete that shit.

The best thing you can do when it repro's is send me the save game just prior.

Along with your enabled mods text ;)

Sounds good Koobalt... although Number 1 model (Cavil) certainly isn't religious... I'll think of something else. The Cylon Loyalists will use the model that you have created above, considering that they are a faction dominated by the humanoid models. 

The Rebel Cylons focus more upon advanced Centurion design i.e. advancing non-biological concepts (such as the removal of the Telencephalic inhibitor), and therefore they wont use the research structure you have suggested above. 

Koobalt - do you think that you would have time to design Trade Port for Cylon. Currently no models exists... I'm thinking it could look like this? 

Reply #1522 from Sins Forums Top

Another thing... from game start, the Cylon races will not generate any credits from Population/taxation. Planet populations will be defaulted to 0. To compensate for this, Cylons receive a hefty bonus on crystal extraction rates from game start i.e. 4 or 5 points of crystal and metal per respective asteroid, per second. These can be sold on the black market to generate Credits. 

Cylon Loyalist --> Will eventually research Biological Reproduction which will unlock planet populations

Cylon Rebel --> Will develop "Hacking" algorithms for enemy trade systems and the Black Market, and syphon credits (wont really "steal" from enemies, is simply a way of generating credits, same way as population taxation works/appears). This is how they will generate their credits.

I think ZombieRus have already model for trade port done by me... the warstar model
