Cool, again thanks for the info. I'll hold off for a bit I suppose.

[quote who="Ryat" reply="3855" id="2819179"] Actually the pirates in Diplomacy are currently a bit broken. I had to nerf them. Sad I know. There is a patch currently in the works for mid-Nov. that is suppose to fix it and when that comes I will have to redo the pirates. But yeah, wait a bit.[/quote]Wait hang on, Ryat is saying pirates need a nerf? Must be an imposter! Thanks for the advice. How about the 'extra hard' or whatever difficulty computer? They worth a

Somewhat off the subject of your mod, how are the pirates in diplomacy? Are they anywhere near as brutal as the pirate mod? Been thinking about getting diplomacy but I just don't think it'll add anything I like other than extra hard computers. (and I'm sure there's some general AI improvements)

Well obviously they're ninja flagships since you can't see them, so don't be disrespecting them or they'll kill you in your sleep.

Bailknight's or Volumetric explosions all the way, with Sins Plus being a close second. IMO the game is all about watching the ships blow each other up, though the lots of extra planets does add a lot to the game. <a title="Distant Stars

I know right? Sometimes games amaze me with some of the stuff they get released with. A classic example that will never die is the old Double Dragon II game that said in the intro story part about "Bimmy and Jimmy" going on their quest. How did they miss a typo like that?! As far as the sounds go, the ones for Malice and Resurrection are horrible too but they don't get spammed so they aren't as noticeable.

Yeah sure enough it's the Effect_ReactiveNaniteArmour.ogg being spammed a lot at once, I don't know why but I've never had that issue outside of this mod, maybe it's just that I was using the mod before and after the file got updated with a game update, oh well. But damn whoever made that sound should be hog tied and made to listen to it for a few hours straight.

On the note of sounds, I'm running the 0.9951 version for entrenchment and there's a sound that occurs I believe from the vasari support craft ability that more or less heals (I forget what it's called) though it may be from something else, only thing I know for sure is it's a vasari sound, either way the sound is gosh awful annoying, it sounds like finger nails on a chalkboard or metal on a sharpening wheel or something but I can't find the sound file to get rid of it. Anyone else havi

Yeah you can add in whatever music you want, just rename it to the file you want to replace, like "Battle 1.ogg" ect. and it will play in the place of it. I believe you can also just add in more of them but I didn't mess with that much. If you don't have a program to convert the files into .ogg files it should work just fine to save them as MP3's and simply rename the file extension to OGG.

[quote who="Shmily123" reply="3997" id="2815269"]to bad they didn't do a mini mod which just adds some of the ships in the modified tech,advent and vasari to the original[/quote] Yeah personally I'd love to see just the races/planets and bailknights added but I doubt they'll do it, it's an awful lot of work especially if most of the races are built around other changes.

I went back and looked again at the opening cinematic vid on the site and sure enough at about 0:57 there's four Boron ships in there, just wanted to publicly appreciate the model duplication. Not sure if they're from other sources first but here they are, the four I can make out in the vid anyway: http://eng.x3tc.ru/screenshot/ship.php?MzIxNzg1NTU <a href="http://eng.x3tc.ru/screenshot/ship.php?MzQ5MjM5MTU

Loving how some of these changes look, it's been a while since I've looked into any Sins mods as I rarely play Sins these days. Gotta say I love all the races added and the fact that there's no specific theme followed (like star wars or wing commander ect) but that a bunch of races from different worlds are thrown in there. I've also noticed at least 3 or 4 ship models that were taken right out of X3 (as far as I can tell anyway) which is cool to me, loved X3 and there's some

Unless you're adding in new races or new sound files, the only thing you should have to do is replace the sound files that are already there. Just make the sound you want and make sure it's relatively in the same format and name it the exact same thing as the sound file you want it to replace. I replaced all the music files in one of my mods and that's all I had to do, replaced a few sounds too. You shouldn't have to 'edit' anything, only replace. (and by replace obviously

[quote who="Malanthor" reply="1161" id="2554311"]i have steam version /shrugs.[/quote]That might have something to do with it, though I would imagine it would be the same files either way....... you never know these days I guess. I have a store bought version but obviously since a long time ago it became the 'impulse version' since I can't update it any other way.

[quote who="Malanthor" reply="1158" id="2553502"]So for the next version.. any chanse we'll see starbases? [/quote]Well when some of the defensive structures cost as much as a starbase(or more) I'd hate to see how much a starbase would cost in this mod. I must say the defenses are sufficient without starbases though.

[quote who="CommanderDyran" reply="1155" id="2553261"]Okay, so this is going to come as a dumb question - how do I open the entity.manifest file to edit it like the guy says in the above fix (which, from what I'm getting, is probably my problem - I got the same thing he did anyway.)[/quote]If you're running XP you double click on the file, tell it you want to select a program from a list to open it, select notepad as the program and it should open. Edit the second line from 827 to 828 a

[quote who="Evaders99" reply="1153" id="2553234"]Suggest to try this until the next release comes out http://warlords.swrebellion.com/mantis/view.php?id=502[/quote]Tried that, no cigar. Still crashed constantly at around 1:20:00 in.

[quote who="Paradoxnt" reply="1144" id="2552017"]Anyone else find the Ion Canon platforms way overpowered? I can hold off massive invasion fleets with just a few of these things and a small fleet.[/quote] Yes very OP, all you need is 1-2 ion cannons and you can kill any cap ship with even the weakest craft.. the range on the ion cannons is ridiculous. It's the only complaint I have about the mod other than the mini dumps all over... basically anytime you attack an enemy you can co

Yeah oh well.... great mod but constant mini dumps = unplayable. I've tried it without any other mods to make sure it wasn't mod issues. I'm going to assume the issue is when the computer researches something because the dumps have always been 1:00:00-1:20:00 in and we can't get past an hour and 20 without a dump.

Well I'm running this mod with Sins Entrenchment v1.05 and I can't get more than about an hour into a game without having a mini dump, I can load a save and sometimes get further but it always starts dumping an hour in. Also there are TONS of 'string not found' and for the alliance one of the research subjects is 'string not found' and the description is also 'string not found' so I'm going to assume it isn't exactly entrenchment 1.05 compatible even though it's supposed to be.

[quote who="adecoy95" reply="2470" id="2540729"]lol, whats the scouter say about that starbases power level? you should release that version and call it powerful pirates EXTREME! i would use it [/quote] If someone did make a mod where the pirate raids were..... survivable - but attacking the pirate planet would take 3-4+ full fleets to take down - yeah I would play that too. Maybe it's just my playstyle (expand fast and set up

[quote who="Ryat" reply="2469" id="2540706"]just let everybody know why Powerful Pirates needs to wait[/quote] Average laser damage 1662, ouch. XD

Is this compatible with entrenchment 1.05? Since it says "1.041+" I figured I would ask. :p

You can use my mod with original sins and it should work with any version but it's just a sound mod. :p

[quote who="Nacey" reply="2461" id="2539365"]Fixed, thanks for pointing that out I dont spend much time on the Vasari side of things these days. p.s. enjoy the Karma [/quote] Lol thanks.. I actually tend to play Vasari a lot because I'm totally spoiled by phase gate travel. :( It's annoying to build one at every location but well worth it. I tend to also mod it to where the silly starbases ability is permanent like the gate instead of a clicky. :p I've tried
