Reply to vanilla 1.17 & entrenchment 1.03 files converted to text format. in Sins Modding Sins Forums

berbinator, question 1 the vanilla files from 1.15 in the forge tools can work in 1.17, BUT the entrenchment files are from 1.01 WHICH HAS CRITICAL differences to 1.03, and the differences WILL DUMP. silveressa used my txtbin gui which is in my modding utility pack at the bottom of the op in this thread question 2 the folder structure is mods-v#.##\mod n

Reply to Creating a custom Capital Ship name list in Sins Modding Sins Forums

it will ONLY be a string file editor & also suit translators, I might drop the read entity files part as it will NEED the location of the reference files as the program WILL ONLY read TXT mode files and this is the area that is stuffing me up. I could email you the early alpha but it would only frustrate the hell out of you. it is nowhere near to beta yet. harpo

berbinator, question 1 the folder for mods in vanilla 1.17 is Mods-V1.17 and for vanilla you NEED all the files & folders under your mod's folder, eg GameInfo,Mesh,Particle, PipelineEffect,Sound,String,TextureAnimations,Textures AND windows, but for entrenchment you only NEED the CHANGED and added files with any added files added to the correct manifest in the mod question 2, I created my <a title="harpo's txtbin gui thread" href="https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/3532

Reply to Creating a custom Capital Ship name list in Sins Modding Sins Forums

teal the BAD news is that it is a SINGLE file not a case for a batch to convert files using the convertdata's between txt & bin, but I did start a string editing program but ran into some difficulties with it, and am trying to think around the problems of the error checking part of the program. I might just kill the error checking and mearly indicate the entity and reference value that is accessed, and add in planet,star,capital and starbase name edit, add and delete functions. h

Reply to Creating a custom Capital Ship name list in Sins Modding Sins Forums

upon futrther testing with the correct string count YES we CAN add additional ship AND starbase names, and they are randomly selected, eg my first starbase used my ninth starbase name and the second starbase took the tenth name harpo

I have tried adding extra capital names and starbase names to the string file and all I get is Minidumps on my development comp. so I am re-installing entrenchment, but testing the extended string I only get string not found , then I remembered to add the number of strings to the count harpo

Reply to Creating a custom Capital Ship name list in Sins Modding Sins Forums

teal, on this hunt I have checked the registry and the galaxy's also for ANY hidden files & or folders, and the only references that I can find for ship names are in the string file ie 49 names for tech caps, 39 names for vasari caps, 30 names for advent caps, AND ONLY 6 names for each race's starbases. I have also searched ALL the non-exe files and found NO reference to the IDS_CAPITALSHIPNAME file. it looks like this is set in the exe. harpo

highguard I think that the updater being refered to is my mods updater which is part of my modding utility pack v1.1 ( which I had tested with 7ds 2.5alpha and the 7ds2.5 alpha after updating ran in 1.03 for about 1 hour, but did minidump out, BUT I was running it on veryhigh) harpo

mr_blut3d I have not seen a entrenchement version of this mod, and I read all the mods just to see what is happening, and offer what little help I can, but there are NO significant alterations from 1.15 to 1.17 beyond the numerical changes, so the mods should work in 1.17 which all genuine sinners will have, or can easily update to. harpo

just one warning the reference files are for entrenchment 1.01 NOT the current 1.03. silveressa has uploaded a copy of the txted files and I also have uploaded a utility to convert files between txt & bin. if you use the 1.01 reference files in 1.03 YOU WILL GET MINIDUMPS!!! please use either silveressa's files OR a utility similar to my txtbin gui h

minidumps are usually related to mods either with errors OR for an earlier version. you could also try renaming your mods folder for xp C:\Documents and Settings\'user name'\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\mods or here for vista/windows 7 C:\Users\'user name'\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\mods NOTE the first two folders after the 'user name' are hidden , so to see them you must fi
