Their both current and as their fresh installs there are no mods that have been enabled. I'm not a stranger to modding the game, having made a few personal mods myself, which is why I tried what I did. I brought my question here hoping that someone else may have dealt with the same or a similar problem. Of your suggestions the only one that I'm not sure of is whether or not both copies were valid at the time. But I'm curious if that would actually st

A friend and I are trying to play Sins (Diplo) over LAN with fresh installs of the game on laptops, both running Win 7. Either of us can create a game but when the other tries to join the game we get a message saying that our galaxy scenario files are different. The only fix I could think of was to replace the GalaxyScenarioDef.galaxyScenarioDef files of one computer with that of the other. That didn't work. I'm hoping there is a fix that doesn't resort of reinstalling th

[quote who="Shuazoid" reply="10" id="2539766"]I believe some people use black magic, but i find harpo's utility far more faster and safer without the risk of losing my soul. [/quote] Nice... I think you might be right...

Thank you Moguta. Putting an output format was probably the very last thing I would have tried... It just didn't occur to me.

The command I've been trying is "ConvertData_Entrenchment entity AbilityBlackOut.entity AbilityBlackOut.entity" When I added the "_text" to the end and it didn't change anything. I'll keep trying things...

I'll have to try that... I saw it done that way somewhere else but thought that was just to tell them apart... I'll have to try it when I get home from class.

I realize it sounds strange putting it that way but there are only a few files I'll want to edit, no more than 30 files. So I won't be doing all of them anyway. The problem is that I can make text versions into binary but I want to take the binary into text. When I try it that way it only makes a new binary copy.

I have tried to find an answer for this on the forums over the last couple of days and failed... How do I change the entity files to text without using a utility such as the one harpo has so graciously provided? I have decided that I would much rather be able to do it myself rather than having to wait for some else. I've tried using the convertdata files but all I get are copies of the files I'm trying to covert that are still unintelligible. Anyhelp would be much appreci

Or make new ones that only show up later... I hadn't realized they were tied into specific levels... Thanks Gao, it gives me something new to think about trying.

If I change the number of stages in planet exploration, say from 2 to 4, does that increase the chances to find artifacts and natural resources? Or are those sorts of things encoded elsewhere?

I think I just fell in love, I've been looking a for a while to find a way to convert the Diplomacy data and now I can. Once I figured out the way to get the program to use the proper data it was easy. I had to look around on here for how to do it because I originally thought the error message saying that it couldn't find proper convertdata here and to copy it into this location meant the folder I was trying to convert not the folder the program was contained in. But it's

I have number of concerns; I'll start with the most frivolous. First, the B-52 is the Stratofortress the B-29 is the Superfortress. Second, for your real world comparisons I think switching the B-2 and B-52 would make them more accurate as the B-52 was designed to deliver massive payloads to a general area and the B-2 delivers smaller more precise payload to a specific t

This may have already been addressed but... Why is it that the civilian slots for very low, medium, and very high end on numbers that aren't multiples of four when all the Civilian structures take up 4 slots each?

Sorry for not getting back sooner... hectic run up to Christmas... Yes, this was a random map and they essentially were two grav wells on top of each other. I can't access the save after the hotfix, but I think it was a large random single star with just me and the pirates. PS: It hasn't happened since.

I remember watching an Akkan fly through my starbase yesterday, and I've seen ships larger than fighters fly through each other in the regular Sins... I just never thought anything of it.

At first I thought I was seeing things but then I realized that it is a wormhole and a Gas Giant occuping the same space. [IMG]http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a44/Ailiece/Wormhole-GasGiant.jpg[/IMG] AMD Phenom 9500 Quad-Core 3 GB RAM GeForce 8600 GT Vista Home Premium

Here's another, the TEC mines cost 1000/350/250 for 10 but if you cancel them you get 10 times that much back: 10000/3500/2500.

Everyone in my family has 2 computers (a total of six). Our problem is that we don't get rid of our older rigs as I get new ones.

I like the idea. And the models are awesome.

I've noticed a few people commenting on multiplayer desync. This happened to me a few days ago. A friend and I were playing on my desktop and my laptop, I was meticulous in setting up the mod, but may have missed something I'll have to check checksums. Well we were playing on the large single star map, we're using S+ 1.2, against one hard AI and two normal. At one point I asked for help against some pirates but he couldn't see them. He moved his ships into the middle of what was a ragi

I have a friend that has this annoying tendency to have only a capital ship and like 5 light frigates running around to protect like 15 planets because he has a hard time wrapping his head around the idea that a ships firpower cna be upgraded after it's been built. He would spend the first 30 minutes or so trying to tech up his ships rather than balance the two (number of ships vs. firepower). Until I gave him a lecture on it the other day he really thought that ships built ear

You said a line of planets from the star to my homeworld and the first thing that came to mind was how perfectly I could annoy my friends with that kind of map. Astax is right, and I would bother repeating what he said so well already, it's anything but a speed map. I could spend 5 or 6 hours on a map like that easy.

Assuming it's in seconds and that I did my math right... something like 655 thousand dog years... That's a little more than lazy... it's ridiculous.

[quote]The only noticable differance for me is the Sova has a max of 7 fighter, while the Advent and Vasari max out at six.[/quote] I'm not certain but last time I maxed out a TEC carrier I still had only 6 squadrons... I favor the advent carriers. Once they max out you get upto 6 squadrons of bombers with 17 bombers (using special abilities). It don't get much better than that when you use it with Gaurdians and Illuminators...
