Reply to Help An Amishman Out in Sins Modding Sins Forums

mindseye if you are using the older 1.0 txtbingui with the current convertdata then there are files that will not convert. my theory is that the devs re-use the bin values that are changed for different lines with EACH VERSION update, so for the conversions to/from txt & bin you NEED to use the correct version of the convertdata, also my txtbin gui looks at the path to the files to determine which convertdata to use eg if entrenchment 1.01is in the path it uses the convertdata_entre

beemer127, the released files have been converted to bin, and you just NEED to use the correct convertdata_originalsins.exe version to convert all the files back to TXT format for tweaking. from what I remember I think that the 1.15 convertdata will convert soa_2_0.03c to txt harpo

Reply to Is there a way to Install Entrenchment Without Impulse Updating Original Sins to 1.17? in Technical Sins Forums

the simplest way to keep your sins 1.05 is to COPY your entire sins program folder to another folder with a changed/different name eg sins of a solar empire 1.05, create a desktop link to the 1.05 sins exe then update sins & entrenchment to current with impulse. th only problem is that sins 1.05 & 1.17/entrenchment1.03 have differences in the user.settings file and each WILL overwrite the others settings so you HAVE to re-setup your prefered settings each time you swap b

Reply to why does a newer version ruin prior mods & where can I download mods for the most resent version ? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I have created a mods updater for sins AND entrenchment, but it ONLY will work with the versioned mods folders versions of sins and entrenchment ie sins 1.15,1.16 to 1.17 AND entrenchment 1.01,1.02 to 1.03. I suggest getting my mods utilities pack from this thread . I wrote it because of the SAME problem in that I like the mods I have installed and wanted to keep playing them with the latest pat

I had added the phase scouts mod to my private starbases mod, and it is easy to do but it is easiest if you have the reference files for sins 1.04 to compare to the modded files and paste the changes into the entrenchment files of the same name, and then create a new entity.manifest because of the changed ability/research items harpo
