This change is an easy one to make - if you have human-readable files rather than the gobledygook that comes with the 1.1 update. Open up a capital ship file in notepad or whatever text program you like to use, then scroll right down to the bottom of the file. This is what the last few lines of the entry for the TEC Battleship looks like: CommandPoints StartValue 0.600000 ValueIncreasePerLevel 0.200000 weaponCooldownDecreasePerc &nbsp

Ok, maybe i'm blind, but I just can't seem to get the convertdata.exe program to do anything. When I clicked it, a dos-type box flashed on my screen for a split second, and then closed. But when I opened my GameInfo folder, all of the files were still gobbledygook. So then I tried pasting the .exe into the gamedata folder and ran it again. Yet again, it briefly flashed and did nothing. So then I checked the forgetools 1.1 folder and noticed that there was a ReferenceDat

I've downloaded the 1.1 update now...but the files are still goobledygook. Anyone know what's wrong with them so I can get modding? [e digicons]:)[/e]

Ah thanks for that, guys. So the unintelligible mess is actually computer speak? :p Oh well, I guess i'll wait patiently for the files to be released. Hopefully it will be soon. :)

Hi, i've looked through the threads here but I couldn't find any info about this. Feel free to close this if i'm just blind and this has already been explained. I just downloaded 1.09 using impulse, but I encountered problems. It seems 1.09 didn't like my mods, so I deleted the mods and reinstalled the game from scratch, then updated the game again. The game worked fine, so I tried to mod the Gameinfo files as i've always done in the past. ...Except, I can't. When I

No, I [U]haven't[/U] tried the loading screens. I didn't want to install anything else without your saying so in case it made the problem worse. And yes, I did read your first post - SEVERAL times. A tiny little note in the middle of a sentence isn't exactly the worlds biggest hint for noobs, is it? I only noticed it on the fourth read. :p Sorry about getting your name wrong earlier, i've posted about this problem in two threads and got confused.

The only link that I can see that might be what you're referring to DANMAN is the CUSTOM loading screens one - there is no mention of any links to fix known bugs. Is this the one you are referring to? :NOTSURE: By the way, this problem is occuring with the 7 Deadly Sins mod for me as well. If there is a fix available, why isn't it included in 7 Deadly Sins as standard?

I've now tried downloading this mod with Firefox, but the download freezes on me even with Firefox, so Filefront is absolutely useless to me. Can anyone help me at all?

Yeah, I have the 1.04 update. The minidump issue has [I]only[/I] affected me since the 1.04 update, but the load screen issue has affected me since [I]before[/I] the update - I knew there was an update coming, so assumed the problem would be fixed by that update. Since it didn't, I posted about my problem and here we are. I have made my own manual changes to the mod such as reducing research times, but I haven't made any graphical changes etc. I've also tried Sins Plus without my mods a

Hi, are there any mirrors or anything for this mod? I've tried downloading this mod more than 20 times now, but I still haven't been able to download the complete file. The download randomly freezes whenever I try - i've gotten as close as 96% downloaded but then as usual it just stopped. It's VERY annoying. I've tried using a download manager but that's useless in this case as the download site doesn't allow download resumption - you HAVE to start the download from scratch each time.<b

Hi, it's a shame that this mod is no longer under development, as I am encountering a few small issues with it. My first problem is that when playing as the TEC, the left-hand side of the loading screen is covered by some images that I think are from the research screen. I've made a screenie of it: [img]http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/7469/screenshot5hf0.jpg[/img] I've checked and it's definitely this mod that is causing the problem. I tried different mods and playi

Ever since i've installed 1.04, i've had a 100% crash rate. I'd never even heard of a "minidump" until I installed 1.04. I've played 20-30 games since I installed the update and every one of them has crashed. The crash isn't instantaneous though, the timing is completely random - i've played games for two or three hours before it crashes, and i'm playing new games. I deleted all my old saves as soon as 1.04 was isntalled. Every crash has happened during combat though. It might be purely

Hi, I've been playing around with modding my copy of Sins, but I encountered something called a "minidump" after playing the game for a few hours against four other Empires. I'm not sure if the crash was a one-off random glitch though or some sort of conflict between the mods. But if it was a conflict why would the game crash only after a few hours play? Surely it should crash the moment I tried to play a game if there was a conflict? I've previously encountere

Well I bought the boxed version coz I like the security and extras, and I downloaded the game through Stardock Central. I didn' like that program much as it wouldn't accept my serial code...until I realised I had to tell it the serial code was for Sins of a Solar Empire and not something else. *ahem* Anyways, it took just over an hour to download, averaging at the 575-625kb/s mark. God I love fast servers. :CONGRAT: According to paypal, the whole cost of Sins was £36.27. I'll l

Oh right, thats good news then! :D I was actually more worried that it wouldn't be compatible with my computer, as it is an American release. If it works on your computer though, Xtanto, it should work on mine. I'll buy the boxed version. I'm surprised there isn't any info about this in the FAQ or news though. Perhaps if an admin is reading this you might want to update the FAQ? Just a thought. Thanks for your help guys, maybe you'll see me online soon. ;)

I signed up to these forums because i'm just confused about this game. I downloaded the demo from Gamespot, and I absolutely love everything about it...except the 90 minute play time limit lol. Anyways, i've decided to buy it, except that I can't seem to find out how. This website only sells it in dollars, which means it's an American release - where is the UK release? I've checked on other websites as well - Play.com, Amazon UK...and they don't even seem to know what Sin
