[quote who="AxelDude" reply="24" id="3181649"]I like the idea for the nightlight, however I'll not be adding nightside textures to the mod to press filesize and memory usage ! [/quote] memory usage....the big compromise. saw on twitter that your porting the mod to rebellion. Ya!!!! :-) cant wait dude. this should really be the base of all rebellion modding.

[quote who="AxelDude" reply="22" id="3180848"]Loki, the volcanic planets of mine are not rendered as volcanic planets (renderAsVolcanic FALSE), you should check that out, that might be the problem? Also could be a colored skybox thing, try to toggle it off and on.[/quote] sweet! thank man got it working. also the coloered sky box stuff. im guessing that the skybox colors reflect on the planets. worst at it in is the purple and green. when you say toggle them on or off do you mea

Sweet! man, that had to be a lot of editing . there's a massive amount of new files. the sky boxes are another standard. the gravity well and planet resizing works well. the ship resizing is a grate idea. i think you made them just big enough to better interrupt the action. the volcanic planets look awesome. the only qlich i got, was a mini dump when i would try to load a preview in the map maker. Questions :&nb

I'm going to buy fallen enchantress, some what because of the banners. i haven't clicked on any of the banners but it was a reminder ; "hey, I like Sins. I'll more than likely like this as well." i think the adds are fine. there for "in company" products. if they where for other companies or products outside of gaming, i could see a larger group of people having a negative response. but being upset about a banner announcing a release of one of your games. Is like, cal

your stuff is awesome, and i have been messing around with the files in rebellion. (In Rebellion) all the standard texture files work other than the ones you added (because of the new entry files). i didn't notice a difference between the standard desert, terran, ice, and volcano mesh files and the core pack. the gas planet mesh i believe works fine if a re-size is what you where going for. the star mesh files however, made the stars bigger than the gravity well and ship jumpi

[quote who="harpo99999" reply="920" id="3172778"]loki I have just posted a link to the 1.01 refs for rebellion, so get them to start modding. harpo [/quote] thanks! downloaded and karma given :-)

just wanted to show of some of my UI Mod (or why i haven't been sleeping) it WORKS in Rebellion 1.0 :-) thanks for all the helpful post and tutorials. other than making the UI minimal and clean, lots of transparencies, I re-sized the race planet modules so the planet modules overlays don't take up the majority of the gravity well( you can actually see whats going on, on a busy planet.) fighters and bomber unit main overlay

i have found it a bit bummer when i miss "one of our planets is under attack, our, pirate raiders are attacking one of our planet" due to another race event sound playing. i think event race sounds don't step on each other because they use mostly one voice actor per race. they would sound like there studding. i combined all 3 event race voice sounds into one ( Vasari for the time being ) it helps a lot with not tuning event announcements out and far less mechanical sound

[quote who="Broviet" reply="3" id="3172501"] Quoting Teun-A-Roonius, reply 2Hey, there is a hotfix for this: Use one monitor. Doh. Nice hotfix, bro[/quote] Maybe (if needed per resolution and screen lay out) mod the UI so all the buttons , info, and things you need to click on. could be in your main monitor, and the other 2, 1, what have you, could sadly just be used as viewing screens. it has t

i think Dialogue sounds (i.e : Build voice, attack order, Pirate raiders have left there base, planet module complete) all have priority to the current sound playing. no voices "stepping" on each other. if an event sound is playing wile your corvettes build sound ques, it will not play. nor will play after current sound is finished. it just skips it. i think explosion sound layer up to 5 and the have priorities. hope that helped

iv'e been trying to remove the "bright white cloud" around the stars in "mid solar system view" im not talking about the glow directly around the star , our on the surface of the star. but the white cloud that goes over the star when you zoom in and out. it also dims when you put a planet between your prospective and a sun. its a bit of an eye strain and give me head aches. &nbs

I've been able to open them in Note Pad and NotePad ++ , but its an illegible grouping of letters and numbers. i have searched the forum and google but couldn't find a tutorial to ( converting to a readable format, edit, then convert back. ) found the thread with the "text converted Reference Files" though. may be helpful to have an link to it in this thread. https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/378266/pa
