a little late on my response, but... yeah i guess im just not used to digital downloads. in fact this is my first one. i was expecting to get the FULL data, ready to install, with or without internet connection, as if i bought the cd. anyways, for $10 it's really not that important. i only got it for the SoA2 mod and i've enjoyed it. i just hope that my digital copy and internet connection will still be available next time i get the urge to play it again.

thanks very much for the help. that's exactly what i was looking for. it's sad that they put so much limitations and restrictions on a product i purchased. pirates can freely use this program any way they choose but stardock/impulse severely restricts a person who paid for the game. this is the first time i bought a game digitally and would be the last. i apologize for the rant. it's just frustrating.

i just purchased the entrenchment mod on impulse. everything seems fine and it automatically upgraded my game... my question is, how can i download it to my hard drive? i would like to have an actual copy without having to rely on impulse.

Thanks for your explanations Teal. I will definitely try this when I get the chance. If I still couldn't get it to work then I'll be back again to bug you guys!!!

Yup. More than a few times. I even replaced the English.str in the main installation folder (C:\Program Files\Stardock Games\...) with the modified English.str when all else failed. No luck though. I don't understand how the default names keep showing up when the source is gone. I'm sure I missed something, although I couldn't figure out what it could possibly be.

Thanks for your help. I got it to work except the name change.

Ah. Got it. So I have to copy the modified RESEARCHSUBJECT_MAXCAPITALSHIPSTECH0 and the rest of the researchsuubject .entity files to overwrite my current GameInfo mod folder right? Sorry if it sounds like a stupid question but I'm new to this.

Changing the FleetSupplyData was easy enough and I got it to work! I'm just a little confused about the individual research techs. When I open the RESEARCHSUBJECT_MAXCAPITALSHIPSTECH0 entity in the GameInfo folder I get this line: BIN  R e s e a r c h S u b j e c t , H U D I C O N _ R E S E A R C H S U B J E C T _ M A X C A P I T A L S H I P S T E C H 0 , H U D I C O N _ R E S E A R C H S U B J E C T _ M A X C A P I T A L

Thanks. Yes. I'd like to be able to modify the individual research techs as well. Can't hurt to know more. Also, would you happen to know how to change the default race names as well? I tried asking this in another post but no one seems to know how. I renamed everything in the .entity and .str files. For some odd reason, the default names still show up. How could the game still use the default names even

I'm currently playing a game set at Large Fleet Size. It shows a Current Fleet Supply of 2000. This is the maxed out research. FYI... SoaSE v1.13, SoA v0.03c

I've been playing SoA2 and just noticed that my fleet supply size doesn't seem to change whether I choose "Small, Medium, or Large Fleet Size" in the options menu. I currently have my settings on Large Fleet Size. However, the maximum supply that I have is only 2000. Shouldn't it be at 2500? Because of this I tried another map on Small Fleet Size and checked the Fleet Research and saw that the maximum supply is also set at 2000.

I would like to play larger fleet sizes. I tried changing the FleetSupplyData in the GameInfo/Gameplay.constants but it doesn't seem to do anything. Another thing I just noticed (not sure if it has to do with the SoA2 mod I'm currently playing) is that my fleet sizes doesn't seem to change when I choose either "Small/Med/Large Fleet Size" in the options menu. I'm currently playing a game set on Large Fleet Size. However, the maximum supply that I have is only 2000.&n

Never mind. I finally found the link on page 64 of this thread.

[quote who="Dragoon4ever" reply="8" id="2044904"] 0.03c is the newest patch for 0.03b, easily recognizable as it only has 3 files in it. [/quote] Where do I download the patch 0.03c? I keep getting the one labeled SoA 2 0.03b (modified Jan 10 2009, 255mb with a whole bunch of files inside the "SoA 2 0.03b" compressed folder... clearly not the 3 files you mentioned). I tried both ModDB and FileFront links provided. Nothing comes up on Google either.

[quote who="darkshimmer" reply="3" id="2043074"] in the mods directory you have to make a new folder name SoA 2 0.03c then put in the files from 0.03b and 0.03c afterwards you launch Sins and load the mod. [/quote] Is the 0.03c a typo? I've downloaded the files from 2 different sources from the link provided above and they're both 0.03b. Another thing. There is a note regarding a clean install and deleting the "Ironclad Games" folder in

Thanks.

Thanks. Is there a way to mod this? I've been playing around with the files and coundn't figure it out so far.

I'm playing the SoA2 mod and it's great! Everything seems to be working well. The only problem I have is that the race names that show up in-game are the Sins default ones (Trade Coalition, Provians, etc). Is this normal or did I somehow mess up my installation?

arghhh! I can't get it to work. I renamed everything in the main game .entity and .str files. For some odd reason, the default names still show up. I'm using the Sacrifice of Angels 2 mod and it looks like all the "proper" name changes had already been done in the mod folder, so I left that alone. I even tried copying the .entity and .str files from the mod to replace the main game contents and still nada. What am I d

Thanks. Now how do I change them so that I can pick which names show up in my game? Do I just replace the names in the current .str file? Do I have to replace every single Value from "IDSPlayerAINameTech0"-"IDSPlayerAINameTech9"?

I can't seem to change the race names in-game even though I've changed it in the "Edit\Players\NewPlayer\InGameName" using Galaxy Forge. The AI still shows random names when I load the game. I even tried changing the design name as well but it doesn't work either! I've searched the forum and noticed that other people also have the same probem. How do I fix this? Please help.

I haven't played this game in a while and feel like trying it again with a SoA2 mod. So I re-installed SoaSE and automatically updated it to version 1.13. Does this latest patch have the Bonus Pack that was included with version 1.05 or did I have to install 1.05 first? It's been a while... what extra stuff came with the bonus pack btw?

Thanks. Good to know.

I just completed my first map and would like to know how to move it to the "Custom Map" section of the game instead of the "Small Scenarios" section. I guess it's not much of a big deal but I would still prefer my map to be in the proper location.

[quote]Can several wormholes be attached to one planet/asteroid/etc or does it have to be 1 wormhole per planet/asteroid/etc?You've lost me. As far as I know, a wormhole has it's own grav well and can have nothing else in it. And only connects to one other wormhole.You could have multiple wormholes with phase lanes only to the asteroid/planet/etc.[/quote] Right. That's what I meant. I wanted one asteroid/planet/etc having several phase lane connections to different worm holes. T
