When the beta is open they'll release it for paypal? I'm asking because I don't have a credit card and i don't want to go bug my parents for something simple like this,

When I try to pre-order diplomacy off of impulse, I go to pay with paypal (which I pre-ordered entrechment with previously) and it says that I am unable to pay for a pre-order with paypal. Any way to fix this?

i know that if you play in preview mode from the custom galaxy menu you play with no shrowd and you can see all of the developments that your opponents are creating. that might not be what your looking for though. if your referring to removing the fog of war from after you've been to a planet, im pretty sure that part is hard-coded into the game and can't be changed with any level of mods. the scouts might possibly get a remote sensor which will continue to watch a planet thou

i installed entrenchment and the game ran fine, even with a texture mod set to run on startup from the last version. the mod wasn't working and i was getting the old textures though so i tried to rework the mod files and now i get the black screen.

ok, i was playing around in my sins directory folder trying to fix it and now when i load the game all i get is a blank screen. whats has gone wrong?!?! also it used to give me a minidump but now it isn't

I had a simple mod that would give me new user display pictures. when i upgraded to entrenchment though the images dont display the new ones and only give me the ones that come standard with sins. I still get the new image in the race selection box in the new game screen though but they don't show up anywhere else. I've scanned the game files as much as i can and i can't find anything that would explain why. Any thoughts?

from what i can gather, some of the belts feilds and clouds possess special abilities that will hinder your units. the actual asteroids in a belt will not affect your ships because they just get processed as background detail which you can actually turn off. some annomelies like the magnetic storm have an ability to disable your special abilities or to slowly drain your antimatter. im not sure however if the asteroids possess abilities like this.

as far as i understand, what the major improvements were was the capability for lower end computers such as mine to be able to play using the higher graphic capabilities. they also did touch ups on the models and redrew some of the mesh's completely.

yeah, i knew about the version number in the corner, i was just thinking that it was in the corner of the menu box. didn't even see it in the corner of the actual screen. thanks

i remember it happening once, it may be that my camera was just rotating really slowly but im pretty sure that it would work, also the phase lanes wouldn't break up because all the planets were rotating at approximately the same speed, once again lending credit to the rotating camera theory. still im pretty sure that the planets were rotating ever so slightly around the sun.

do you know how to check the version of sins i am currently running? i noticed some differences between my laptop and computer version and i was wondering if i was running on the latest version. i want to check rather than just download the update and running it again because i really don't have the greatest internet at the moment and if i download something like this it will most likely slowdown my connection severly. any help is appreciated WS

[quote]heres one no ones spotted (less i missed it) the planets dont orbit their stars!lol they just hang in space at the same position throughoutI know its a game mechanic to stop phase travel becoming complicated but it really does seem odd dont ya think?[/quote] if you really want to see the planets orbit the sun then you should throw the game into 8x speed, (just press the + button a bunch). though they may move slowly, they do eventually move around the sun. but as i said, they mov

im pure bred kanuk through and through, eh reporting in from the rockies WS

the only way i know this is to enter a game, then surrender and say keep playing. it will remove you from the game and let the other players keep going. the only thing is i'm not sure how much it will show you map-wise. the only way to get the full map is to go into the custom map creator and select preview map. there is a slight chance you won't get picked to play but the others if they do load will start to fight and you can see the whole thing. good luck

sorry for the double post, stupid edit button no longer exists. i guess its only 2 computers though according to kryo, pretty sure it says something about 5 in there somewhere. also, not stardock central but ironclad online. two very different but both very helpful programs.

yes, it will work! the great thing about sins is it's designed to work over a home network without extra copies. when you install it into your computer it completely installs making the cd useless. just install it on up to 5 computers and you stay within the user agreement. updates will be available for both computers but to play online you will need to buy a second copy so that you can sign into stardock central. hope this helps.

on a side note, the game ran without the disc from the start, there was a discussion on this a while ago and i believe that the general consensus was that ironclad put that in so that you wouldn't need to buy eight copies of the game just so you could run a LAN party. if you want to play over the internet then you will need to purchase a copy but you can just install it on i think a total of five computers so that you can run said LAN. in short, ironclad is awesome and doesn't believe in

i honestly didn't find the voices that bad, they fit what they're supposed to: a mostly female society that has a very "soft" surrounding. they don't all sound like they're young and the one mothership always sounds like its mad at me. i honestly think the voices are perfect for every race even though people keep complaining about the vasari. if you look at it their voices do fit for how they vocalize and they're alien so it wouldn't be like ours anyway so stop comp

the way i see it, you need to change every one to the one you want every single one of those files directs to one of four folders SinsAgencyBold.ttf SinsArialBlack.ttf SinsArialBold.ttf SinsOfficinaSans.ttf these are the actual fonts you change one of these and then all of the other files have to be redirected to them instead of the origional eg. file name: EntityName.font contains: [I]TXT Font Height 22

amazing E simply amazing this mod just keeps my expectations and anticipation building for what i know is going to be one of the best mods for sins the ship models look great and the new ship designs look like they could have come from the show them selves keep up the great work W.S.

It could also be a research matter i dont play the TEC but i know that the advent have an upgrade that lets their carriers hold one more strike craft each i dont know if the TEC have one but that could be why

Hey guys I was just noticing that the edit button had COMPLETELY disapeared. what happened? Was it removed during the update or what? i know a lot of people had commented on this and i was just wondering if anyone knew the exaxt reason as to why. anyway. cheers

[quote]sorry to double post wont let me edit but also if a observer mode was to ever be implented all the observed games would have to have it least a 15 minute delay time between the observed game and the current on going game because even if you mute text chat doesnt stop voice chat :o[/quote] true you could always impliment a viewer only chat window too. i was just thinking that if you had like 8-whatever people watching and one person was watching a planet while the others w

I would have to side with the Advent, I always liked the lone, abused faction along with the psychic type of race that every RTS seems to have. from a strategy point their cultural boosts and their end game super weapon are a helpful advantage that I am all too eager to use. while the vasari do get the phase stabilizer nodes and the TEC get the novalith cannon the advent's various upgrades to their culture and the capabilities of the capital ships (even if they are really the same f

if your really desperate to find it you can always go into your system folder and modify the system string to give you a 70% chance of finding it. Otherwise you will just have to keep searching. Thats how i found it. cheers
