I dont know why but i find this thread funny. Why dont ya ask valve/steam to make an interface for the game? Its not SOASE that has the problem, it wasnt built/coded to have an steam overlay. Hello? Its kinda like a ford guy asking for mustang parts at a chevy dealership, not gonna happen. Actually thats a bad example, you can order parts, they just cost 4 times as much. *shrugs sorry for the thread derail*.
you might want to consider a spyware/virus scan then make sure you disconnect the device properly. Do you have multiple items hooked up to the usb port? Put enough of them on a single usb port and it could effect data, esp if its all flash cards/ram which are dependent on usb power alone. Might even consider a full scandisk (it takes time) in case your hard drive has errors, which might cause transfer problems. What kind of usb device is it? Ive seen all kinds of models over the years
ive had a bit of success. i have not been able to change the skybox when you zoom in to an area, just the one for the star. Ill look into this more when i get back from work. vol
Ahh freespace2, ill never forget that game. Ill also never forget flying around and coming face to face with a destroyer that i couldnt see 10 feet ago due to the nebula effects. Might take a peek at freelancer for some ideas as well. There are several things going on in the neublas in sins, if you watch closely you do see lightning and such. Increasing the texture size might do something to help, however most fx or sprites/2d polygons games use for effects have a limit. Might help to
i really like this pack, thank you :)
technically we do not run pos computers, rather the grandparents of the beasts of today. and 1024x768 isnt bad..course, im runing my pc off a HD tv :P (must play sins on 32" widescreen.) its too bad we simply cant hook a bunch of these pc's up and have the operating system span 3 or 4 of em and make our poor man's quad core hah! Imagine the fun we would have with vista drivers and xp's bsod's. Yay..i er *(slaps self for near derailment of thread)* ...sorry.
there is a 1.2 trainer over at cheathappens.com, but it wont be avail to the public for a while. If you want it now, ya have to apply for membership, which costs money. I already can hear people screaming about paying for a trainer. Only things i can say about that is, they are virus free, no keylogger worries, no spyware and they are very quick with updates. Its a one stop source for multiple game trainers and hints tips. ..Try not to flame people for using trainers, they just speed u
Id say the worst part about that setup from the OP is the gfx card. The FX5200 series is ..really really (did i mention really) bottom of the line. I had one trying to play games and the thing just killed me. my setup is a 1.8 gig Athlon, standard EIDE 7800 rpm drive (yes yes no sata), 2 gigs of ram (DDR400 i think) and a Nvidia 7800 OC from Bfg tech. Id say my video card is doing most of the work heh. I do have framerate issues in big battles, and when the effects get flying everywher
a screen shot would help a bit if you can get one, but id suggest double checking your refresh rate under the resolution. i set mine at 60.
ahh good, finally someone from the source released info. ..pity it isnt march but this gives me time to ..save up enough cash for a new machine heh.
ok what about making a new type of factory for your units? is there a way to say, add in a new class? maybe a BattleCruiser class, then the new factory can list your new ships. entityType "CapitalShip" seems to be the critical thing here. If theres a way to create a new entitytype, maybe we can then add in new models but i think the UI still only allows 7 units i think. ill experiment abit with this too.
did you take the capitalshipinfo back to 5? it seems the game will not allow more than that for cap ship types. Hmm, did you try making it act like a frigate instead? Just to see if theres a code limit or something.
very cool, ive edited em both ways. the dds seems to work better when you save it under the Dxt5 ARGB 8bpp rather than the DXT5_NM as the pdf suggested. i could have just misread that though.
Im using Xp service pack 2, made sure i updated to the latest drivers. Could this hangup be to a bad driver set or something like that? I mean once sins refuses to properly close i have to either log out or reset. Either way xp throws a fit about explorer.exe not responding and to close etc etc. Its so odd. Cpu usage goes to 100%, once i close sins, then the next program does the same thing, even notepad, firefox...wierd. ive run all the virus/spyware scans i can st
Pair, hmm. ff=255..ahhh got it! here i was trying to use the whole set as RGB. Thanks Ryan!
hehe sure, Down at the bottom of all three faction carriers, look for the line "CommandPoints" i changed mine to look like this: CommandPoints StartValue 10.000000 ValueIncreasePerLevel 2.000000 Note: this is a LOT of fighters and bombers, esp at full experience. If opposing factions have this kind of setup expect to see nothing but your fighter icons going everywhere. Its very cool to watch. :)
Im just experimenting around to see what can be done and what i should never do *heh* What controls the color of the Psi weapons? Is it the Dds texture or the "beamGlowColor ffffffff" that i keep seeing in the entry files. Maybe a little knowledge of what this ffff ffff hex color code would be good too. Is it possible to have the engine choose at random a color or texture for the weapons..such as your random choice for the backgrounds? This is just to add a bit more character to the g
*caution negative perspective ahead, avoid it if you get upset easily* Ya know this is all nice and such but i believe it will never ever happen. How long has homeworld 2 been out? How long will people wait for that mod? answer: no clue maybe..3 more years? I gave the *censord* up on all of that mod team and CCP's free use idea. IF its ever done it will be great, if it works, by the time they get the darn thing done and "approved" our hardware/OS will not understand how to run
ive had a similar issue, have to pull up the task manager and manually kill the process at times. I did have avast antivirus running but im so sick of that software scanning and literally slowing down every single thing i do, i uninstalled it. Its possible that the anti virus, my firewall and this game just dont like to talk back n fourth. So far my issue seems to have faded away. only time will tell. If you have anything like that running in the background, try disabling it..or even t
Even a pdf explaining this, this is outstanding! One thing? I did not see this listed, what is the max texture size for the UV maps? 512x512?
wahoooo! thank you :)
i doubt stardock or anyone related to them would allow such things to be on the cd, let alone a digital download. This isnt sony, stardock /ironclad just do not pull that kinda stuff. how do you know this dll caused a spyware infection? did you test it with multiple programs? did you send the dll to multiple spyware databases to have them check it? or did you use spyware.net's suggested software..and thats it. nowdays you just cant jump the gun and claim this kinda stuff with
were like a bunch of kids in a candy store arnt we? While i condone and shake my fist at multiplayer cheating, the occasional single player vs cpu trainer helps keep my evil side at bay..such as this. Gotta love multiple defences, and 30 squads of bombers/fighters. :d
it would be semi easy to set it up but how would you set the lanes? would they all connect to each other, or were you planning to have them all in a series? too bad we cant adjust the planets physical size to match..but oh well. :)
i dunno..you can have the best culture in the universe and still be shattered by a few good shots from the TEC super weapon. Id like to see shields given to the advent someday, to protect the planets as tec does but maybe im not using the advent properly. :NOTSURE:
