Thanks psugar, I know it seems silly but I just never batted an eye at that in game map editor before for two reasons; first I have been unable to force myself to break away from playing the game. :) and Second because my brother had told me that it did not allow alot of control. Well, I tried it out after reading your post to get my own experience from it and all I can say is wow! I know for the hard core it may not meet their needs but atm for me its pretty c

Heya again, Ok I just tried to use the galaxydef fille and it worked for puting the extra planets in the list when in galaxy forge....however the map does not show up in game. But it occurs to me that with the frontiers mod I also had to install all "icons" in the icon folder. Therefore, my next question is, where can I find these in madscientist or can I? ...If not then would it be possible for you to upload the icons if this is the only thi

Hello again Ordian, We have been playing your mod non-stop everytime we turn on sins! Just love it. In fact, sad to say, we have not dl'd your latest version(even though I am dying to) because it took me so long to figure out my last problem and we are jsut haveing too much fun atm. But I guarantee I will be updating to your new release sooner or later because as per usual you have added "more" to the game that I think increases the over all entertainment

That is good to hear Dolynick, I have played the mod for vanilla sins and am a fan of Stargate. It was a blast, although I found that my first love was the wraith hive...YES... now that ship changes the ballgame! So I can not wait til you can get this out for Entrenchment. Fact is, there are alot of good mods out but what I believe is missing atm is more races to choose from, I mean after all we all play hours upon hours of the original and frankly it can become a

Havent seen this work yet.. would be nice though:/ Valkajin

Psugar, when you say in-game map editor I presume you are not talking out galaxy forge....do you mean I can use an ingame editor to make maps that will be stored in the custom maps folder? Because I have been wondering why that folder exist yet my maps are located elsewhere. Valkajin

Hey Annatar, I have been wondering why once a player upgrades to higher fleet capacity the player can not "down" grade to lower fleet capacity. What I mean is I have been in situations where I either over extended or was sieged,losing structures and suddenly couldnt afford such large fleet cost. Do you think it would be possible/feasible/realistic to have the ability in one way or another to downgrade fleet capacity if needed? Valkajin

Good news Ordian, When all else fails.......reformat. The problem was that I had played your mod previously and loved it! :) So I had to figure out what the problem was that stopped the mod from loading properly and reformating the hard drive was sooo necessary. I had not

Spyware I believe..evidently one of my cousins kids has been allowed to "play" on my computer while I was not around to guard it from the lil crumb snatcher...never needed to pw protect it til now that it is too late :/ I think I have it removed, time will tell. Valkajin

Hello, I downloaded this mod and it looks awesom. I love the new scenarios and th elook and feel of it. I have a problem though, soon as I downloaded it and enabled it , it was only a few minutes before the game began to "minimize itself to the task bar. I thought that sounds weird.....sorta sounded like one of those pop up ads klik klik sound an then poof down to task bar. Ok that is strange. So I exited the game after it did that a couple times an

Yep, I have. But Unfortunatly, neither me nor Ordian can figure it out and I have tried many solutions. Nothing works.... always dif checck sum on one machine. Still, I think the mod works single player and for most mp ...so better than nothing. :/ However, My bro and I have played the mod together before during beta's crash/sync fest and loved all the additions.

Hey Ordian, I think perhaps I have a problem extracting the file or there is a bad spot/hiddeen files in the mod folder and am wondering if you know whether or not when I install the game do I have to put the game in the default directory....Or can I actually change where the games mod folder is located?......Stupid question I am sure but I am thinking that "if" there is a file left over after half dozen or more un/instals in that Mod folder then why not simply move the folder'a next ins

Well, hours later stil, I think I can identify the problem. :( It wont extract properly. LOL. I tried win zip, win rar, the win xp decompressor, i get errors with each and some times I even get diff check sums. I dl,d it now 6 or more times, and even copied my brothers compressed and uncompressed. Will not extract properly. Sooo I wiped the sins folder and guess what>?.... Yep same thing no matter how hard I try I either can not completly

OK... bout 4 hours into this session of how to fix the unfixable LOL. My brother brought his computer over to my house... so I could manually take the 700 mb file already extracted and transfer it .... VOI LA, got the right checksum... Stil dont work... I almost fell in the floor!..... I mean we can log into Ico... join a game of entrenchment and there is no problem. But the minute we enable the mod, even when I have his exact install with checksum i

Well my brother just went through the whole process as well... no luck. Regardless of how many times we install it, extract it, download it, uninstall game, re-instal game.... he and I get the exact same check sums everytime.. so I am lost. Only thing I can think of is perhaps driving out to his house and manually taking to him the mod as I have it now but at this rate with our luck it still wont be the same upon install LOL. I have to ask now though, does anyone out there

OK. I have just about run out of ideas of my own. I am glad you asked :) Heres my checksum 261521231 .... And my brothers checksum is 261523407 ... OK and just to be clear I'll list what we have done: Both have uninstalled the game for new Entrenchment , then again for the hotfix, I know we were not supposed to have to but it forced us both to do it again. Since then we have played many games to conclusion some taking 5 hours or

Heya Ordian and all who have posted to help me. :) ALright heres my problem: can play the mod fine so far single player... but have downloaded it 2 times each now and it gives us diferent check sums.....which I thought was not possible provided we DL it same place and instal to same directory.....I am guessing I will have to do a complete uninstall and perhaps my brother as well?....Unless there can be another reason for different checksums which for all intents and purposes is the same

Yes we can. We have been playing together for the last several days. I just saw that this mod was updated to work for v1.01 and it does, but we get th echecksum differ error when he tries to join me or vice verse. We can see eachother for a moment in the player slot then the message "checksum differ" pops up. Cvon

Awesom mod! Mvon and I just tried it and it loaded fine. Love the opening music! However, when we try to join eachother in a multiplayer game we get checksum differ error message and can not join eachothers game. I think he and I were probally 2nd an 3rd to Dl it . So I do not know if others will experience this. We extracted the mod into the Entrenchment v1.01 mod folder and it plays singleplayer but not mp atm for us. Any ideas? :)

I have been trying to use the mad scientist mod.. but even replacing the 2 files doesnt show anything cept string not found... so no mod will work atm? without mod updates? Cvon

Me and Mvon had all day yesterday to just sit and play computer games...no kids, no work, no distractions. Awesome. What could make it all perfect is a great build a conquer game......Hmmmm I know of a couple. I got Mvon to agree to a game of Age O Empires 3 .. thinking we may wait for the 25th and maybe another patch to play Sins without minidumps for a few days. Well a predictable game later which we won on the expert difficulty and Mvon was b

I agree. What I keep looking for in game... maybe some of you do this as well.. I keep kliking the starbase expecting to be able to set a rally point for the frigates like can be done with the frig factory. But then I realize that all the ships will just be in a pile at the starbase clumped with the fighter/bomber squads(i play mostly far back view) so it can take a couple kliks to get the ships together or seperatem. Love to be able to set a rally point. Cvon<

I had many many desynced games.. but I believe they have fixed the particular sync issue We were having.. now to defeat the mini dump issue..that is the next demon to purge!!! Cvon

OK I am back again. Some good news and more bad news. Uninstalled the game and reinstalled it. We were hopeful that that the sync error had been fixed and real excited that the patch was out on a friday. And lemme tell you all, when I saw that the beta 3 was out me and Mvon were so hyped up we dropped everything, changed plans, hunkered down by our computers and awaited for the bressed sounds of brissful conquering. High hopes, but deserved, after all,

We have had non stop mini dumps since the patch.. multi player is unplayable as is unfortunatly:(......Funny thing is though we have not had one sync error through out the many trys at a game since the patch. So for that I am happy lol.. and while that is an improvment, it is also a bit of a bummer since the game is not stable nearly as long as it was with sync errors....rofl. I know, it is beta ...but not feeling the love with bout 4 total completed games out of
