Reply to ANOTHER VENDOR SPYS ME OUT - updates only via impluse :-( in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I never said they were? But considering the conduct here of those with a different point of view about Impulse than the "party line", I can't really classify them as either. Cranks make predictions while being ignorant, trolls try to stir up crap using as little effort as possible. I think it's much more a "troll"ish behavior to make a hit and run one-sentence post calling somebody a 'troll' because legitimate 'trolls' don't make coherent multi-paragraph arguments. Look, the biggest P

1. no 2. no (i think), unless maybe you set the antimatter really high or made it an ability where the ship only had one fighter and the rest 'regenerate' using a buff 3. no 4. see #2

Reply to Couple of modding questions in Sins Modding Sins Forums

[quote]The TargetCountPerBank is how many simultaneous targets the ship can engage from that side, dealing the full bank damage to each. So, if you set TargetCountPerBank:FRONT to 2 on a Kol, its beams would attack 2 targets at once for the damage listed (along with any other weapon housed on that bank).[/quote] Holy shit, I assume by the context this is Entrenchment only? Weaponclasstype is only related to the strings afaik, except for PhaseMissile which is the only class tha

The mesh resizing tool is horribly broken with respect to hardpoints as far as I know, if you have 3DS you can import the mesh and do it yourself, if you only want a couple feel free to email me or contact me on MSN or something and I'll do them for you.

Reply to Multiple modding questions in Sins Modding Sins Forums

[quote who="JasonFJ" reply="7" id="2146300"] Given that there are only so many weapon damage/miss modifers (composite, heavy, medium, light, antiilight etc.) I'm not sure whether you'd really want to have more than 5 or so Weapons per entity/ship. Or you risk making "uber ships" that completely destroy the need to make different kinds of roles (why make an antistrike frigate if you can produce a fleet of all-singing all-dancing single cruiser type that shoots everything?).

Black-da.dds should work fine, although you may need to paint the alpha channel all white. Try that out and if it doesn't work I'll send you a .dds with that done and you can give it a shot.

Reply to ASK DANMAN - Question and Answer in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I find the assertion that it's possible to sum up an entire TC in one faction laughable, but I suppose that's what happens when you equivocate gameplay changes with ship size. Nonetheless, this thread is not about mod slapfights or 7DS; it's about letting modders create their own work (which inevitably leads to mod slapfights).

Reply to (Another) Texturing, Rigging, and 3DSMAX Mesh Exporting Guide in Sins Modding Sins Forums

In general, well laid out tutorials that are specifically relevant to Sins are few and far between and a good mapping and texturing tutorial would be amazing. If you get it all sorted let me know when you post it up and I'll link it from here too. I use Max 9 so sorry to hear it crashes 2009. If there's anything I can help with (converting stuff) let me know as well. DoV's main modeler uses 2009 so we have to work with the same constraints and it's a PITA.

[quote who="High_Guard" reply="21" id="2136198"]I think a B5 mod for sins would be wicked, and am quite surprised nobody else has devoted much thought into it.[/quote] It's not that nobody has put "thought into it". Putting thought into things is easy. IIRC bigbangtheory quit doing this because he felt the engine was too limiting.
