Reply to Problem with some mods: lose on game start in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Well, this usually happens when you use a map placed in the galaxy folder under either: Vista: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\ XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\ and not in the galaxy folder in the place where the game got installed. If this is not the case, it's probably because you've either tweaked the GalaxyScenarioDef.galaxyScenarioDef

Looks pretty, those new booms. ;) The only suggestion I have, is to make the explosions (especially the TEC nukes) last longer. I never liked it that the explosion cloud vanished so fast. So if it is in your abilities, if you could make them last about twice as long as now, I would be happy. (Only the explosion cloud, not just make the explosion slower.) :)

SP Map (for Newbies) / Sort of AAR in Sins Modding Sins Forums

You need Adama Repack Mod for this map to work Installation instructions are included in the file (link in the post header above), but basically you just need to place the files inside the Adama Repack Mod folder and then play the map (called CampMap01) in the game. -------------- Important issues with the map <br

[quote]/steaming[/quote] I'll take black tea, please. ------------- Honestly, it sounds like you had some bad luck. When doing a FFA, the easiest way to ally is to do the early missions of giving credits and resources as fast as possible. That way I'm usually able to ally with at least one AI after about 15min game time. Just try again. :HOT:

Reply to Medium AI versus Hard AI in 1.04 in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote]so what exactly is different between medium and hard?[/quote] Better AI algorithms. I.e. on hard the AI doesn't retreat that fast and shouldn't retreat from it's homeworld, for example.

Reply to Medium AI versus Hard AI in 1.04 in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Try Hard. The AI only gets a +100% economic bonus on unfair. So playing hard the AI is still fair.

1.04 Anyone has any luck with loading a map from the custom galaxy folder? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Does anyone has any luck with loading a map from the custom galaxy folder (the one under user/stuff, not the one in the game itself) without the game going insta-defeat? I just tried to place some maps into the galaxy folder for testing purposes and it didn't worked. (The maps are fine btw. they work in the normal sins galaxy folder in the game folder itself.)

Reply to Urgent Help: Linking Systems via Wormholes in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Ok, the mistake you made is simple. You have the numbering of the planets wrong. Planet numbering works the following: Star 0 Planet 0 Planet 1 Star 1 Planet 0 Planet 1 Planet 2 Planet 3 Star 2 Star 3 Planet 0 Planet 1 So on each planet, the numbering begins new at 0. So, the first idea you had is correct. But you need to do the numbering as I show above, then everything will work out great. :)
