also after reinstalling the game... the actual game folder has 895 folders in it... and that screen shot i took earlier WAS messed up some how... soooo now they Do match up in terms of item numbers inside each folder.
you mean? link you to the mod i'm downloading? https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=31&libid=71
if this dosn't confuse the shit out of you folks that think its supposed to be under "andy" this should squelch any and all talk of that> i took a screen shot inside the game when you click "show mod path" [img]http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/5670/sinsofasolarempire20080xh6.png[/img]
didn't work.
if[quote]Turn off "hide hidden folders and files" in Folder Options So what you're probably doing is sticking it in some other 'user' directory that the game has no connection to and therefore it's not working?[/quote] if what your saying is true then the game itself would not populate the "mod" window with the mods i download. It populates this window from the stuff that i drop inside this "mod" folder. and it [I]IS [/I]populating that window with the mods i'm downloading.
there is NO "andy" under documents and settings..... the path you folks are giving me is under "user" and i dont know why.!. [img]http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/9308/thereisnoandyinthisdiredb0.jpg[/img]
[quote] A couple of questions -Did you create any of the Folders manually at anytime? (Right clicking, New... -> Folder) - Is your username user?[/quote] to #1 i [i] did [/i] create the folders manually at one point right when i tried figuring this out and couldn't find the path, because they were hidden. Later i erased this pathway. to #2, my user name is Andy as you will see in the following picture, but the pathway doesn't go through that user name and that
im going to erase Sins and reinstall completely. after that i'm going to download the mod for hangar space and do everything Again.... Carbon's comment, though hard to believe, might be right, though i was Very careful with the files after i blew the game away yesterday and had to reinstall... I'll give it a shot one more time because who knows, i got it to work once but the fact still remains that we still havn't solved the last known problem i've had, which is the fact th
as soon as the wife gets her new debit card in the mail I'll probably be buying the new version of fraps so i can get the full length video in-game... erks me they changed it.. it USED to be 20 bucks, now i remember, i had the full version on my old computer... i should find out what my information was that i used there... maybe i can recover the program... EDIT: im not going to mess with the fraps video for now because the entire 30 second limit really pisses me off, i'm trying to rec

wow they changed fraps from what it used to be... i can only record 30 second clips at a time.... so you folks may have ot click through several videos for the game videos... also, it wont record while at the desktop, which is weird because i used to be able to do that... like i said maybe they changed it or i used to own the full version... :cry: I'll work on compiling all the info your asking for and get a nice post together. Thanks again for all the help.
I'm going to download fraps and once i get fraps active, im going to repair the game so it should be back to its "OEM" configurations.... at that point i will erase all the mods i have on the computer and start fraps... #1 backup the folders i will need to backup encase it causes the game to die on me... #2 download the hangar mod that i want to use. #3 and at this point you all will be able to see what i'm doing and how its being done... gime a few minute
i'm going to fix the game using the same system i used to get the mod to work the first time and see if it works again under the same conditions i got it to work the first time, Then if i get this same error after playing the game and it works and close then reopen the game and it Doesn't work, I'm going to have to hit myself in the ear!
Yeah, either i don't understand those instructions... or i didn't get it right from what you want me to do... either way i tried a couple things... starting first with what you described in-full; first...... then i tried some other stuff that was similar to what you said but none of the three things i tried fixed it... I Don't understand why it Would work... and i didn't do [I]Anything [/I]to the game after it worked.... and i load the game up 15 minutes later and it Doesn't work? wh
Ooooh Kay... i'll try to follow those instructions to a [B]T[/B] and see what happens... i dont see how that will fix the unexplained issue though... but hey, im riding the short bus ;p Thanks for your replies as i am assuming im not the only person that has encountered this problem, as you seem to be very confident of what the solution is. I'll see if i can get it to work with your fix. Will prbly take me 2 hours and sever reinstalls with my MOD skills at work :(
what do you mean? and do what with it and place it where! lol you have to remember i am riding the short bus when it comes to this game! i hope that people read this thread and after they smack their foreheads at some point get a laugh out of how much effort it's taken me to get this far and the fact I've not given up [I]yet [/I]
^^ performed the above action and got the hangar mod to work.... Then i closed the program... reopened it again a few minutes later after doing something on the internet.... and WTF the mod is no longer working... *confused* i'm really disappointed by this turn of unexpected quark.
well read in another thread that its one mod at a time sooooo repaired the files with originals and tried to just use the hangar mod... still wont work... i think i'll reinstall and do the hangar mod first and see if i can get it to work...
hmm weird even after moving the mods out of the mod folder and replacing the files back to the original files, and trying to use the "bigger hangar" mod, it's still not working...
this would explain why i cant get more than my one mod to work....... sheesh i thought it was me doing something wrong... gooooood to know thanks
^^ oh wow post a link to any spoiler please and thank you to what you know!
man you want to talk about frustrating.... i got it to work for no pirate raids... and the red bar that indicates how much is completed with ships... and then i tried to put the mod for more hangar space in and.... it wont work... but the red bar dosn't go away and the no more pirates isn't working anymore! :LOL: what a PITA!!! I think im going to try to keep it simple and just go with one mod at a time.... do the hangar space mod and be done with it until there is a more extensive
very true! not the honorverse.... however in my original post i did say it could come up to about 80% correctness of what the honor verse would look like using this game engine. Sooo glad to see so many people familiar with the honor series! one of the best i've ever read.
I've officially figured it out... thanks again everybody. Wouldn't have been able to figure it out without everyone's help! andy
