I'm not sure if it was a glitch but I started a new game and apparently my Envoy Cruisers are still 8 supply. :/


I'm getting this, too. However, I played a game online with a friend and if I remember correctly, it was 4.

Why did the Developers hardcode things like PlanetBonus*.entity and Planet*.entity, making it impossible to put our mod on top of the new update and DLC?

 

If there is a list of files to expand outside of the GameInfo folder that affects these specific entities and permits a string to ignore DLC errors, PLEASE let me know! I've been modding for only 4 days and have made the new files match side by side with the content of the Mod files with no success. (e.g. PlanetBonusAtmo+.entity has the exact same structure as PlanetBonusMedicinalPlants.entity but the engine crashes because the files aren't referenced in the Sins Exe, suggesting a completely unnecessary hardcoded list)

I'm having similar problems with RESEARCHSUBJECT*s that I have modified (and applied to the game as a MOD) crashing the engine for the exact same reason. All I can say is "Why all of a sudden does Stardock want to make Sins un-moddable?"

This is not the place to ask for modding advice. Please post in the modding forum like this thread.

And it is not impossible to do. I already have my very large mod updated for 1.5 and the DLC. As far as I can tell Stardock  did a create job in allowing both mods and the DLC to coexist with each other.

No idea what your talking about here. I've updated my massive mod to 1.5, including my new planets and planet bonuses.

But that's not true at all. I updated a massive mod I work on to be 1.5 compliant 1-2 days after the patch's release. Might I recommend updating your files first, or, using some 1.5 reference files to remake your mod's stuff?

I'd appreciate a brief "I did this and referenced it with this and it wasn't too difficult once I got x y and z to agree with each other" post by you in the Modding forums then. Nothing too in-depth of course, that's not necessary since half the fun is in figuring it out.

Zombies has a pretty extensive and currently very confusing guide up so I guess that's where I could start. I can't even get Eclipse to work right yet. I'll figure it out eventually but for now, off to work with me again.

It's probably better to use the ask a modder thread. I gave up on doing modding guides so those were never refined.

And Eclipse can be a big help to moderately advanced modders. It can be a big pain to people that aren't familiar with development based tools beyond notepad.
