I can't tell you how happy this makes me, I can finally remove gamestop from my machine and still enjoy the awesomeness that is Sins. While getting a free copy on steam would have been nice simply being able to remove gamestop is so awesome I'm rebuying Sins right now.

[quote who="Stant123" reply="4832" id="2924859"]Probably a folder issue, most likely you unzipped and now you're an extra folder deep so your mod folder is reading Distant_Stars_(D)_0.99_B2_[73571136] with more folders inside of that, one being the real Distant Stars folder you need with the extras also being shown.[/quote] You are exactly right hadn't realized I'd done that thank you :)

Ahhh ok, huh my checksum is 0 going to guess that something is seriously wrong then :) Let me see what I can figure out

Where would I check the checksum and yes apply button was clicked.

I have been away from Sins for a long time and was lured back because a friend started playing. I reinstalled Sins and updated to the current version of Diplomacy than downloaded the current Distant Stars version .99b2 followed the most helpful install instructions in the FAQ, fired up Sins enabled the mod, and started a new game and nothing. It's all vanilla Sins all the time and I can't figure out what I've done wrong. Any ideas? tha

[quote who="Dafeaz" reply="7" id="2097863"]Perhaps I was doing something wrong. I clustered a handful of Flaks and some Fighters around my 5 Arcovas and sent them in to reveal the Advent homing mines. I revealed them alright, and even tried to manually target them with the flaks and fighters, but they just wouldn't fire. I ended up losing all my scouts and half my flak frigates. After that my standard policy has been to ignore the fields during the main battle
