Okay guys, just wanted to give you an update on the progress for the mod. I am still on track for the next release to be very close to the release date of entrenchment (25th). In fact I am expecting that by that time rolls around I really should have little more to do other then convert it in order to make it compatible. Plus I have also decided that it would be better that I kept the mod up to date in case there are any further beta releases before that date. That w

Here, let me go ahead and give you a refresher. Here is a direct quote of your post. Let me go ahead and highlight what I am talking about.

Your mod says it for Sins of a Solare Empire. Yeah, I'm sort of a spelling/grammar nazi. [/quote] Huh, I don't keep up with this thread for a cupple of days and find the heart of a conspiracy.

I read your thread last night and while I did not respond to it, it did peak my interest. I know that at this time there is really no guide to creating research, as I had to learn it through trial and error, and that I perhaps could create one for everyone to learn off of. So, after a day worth of thought into it, I am going to go ahead and write one up, but I will have to wait until entrenchment is out and the 1.5 version of my mod is released before I will be able to gather up t

@ OWA89 Here, let me answer your questions in stride. As for the swamp planet having a universal ability, absolutely! If you sit back and think how swamp planets would benefit every race on a realism standpoint then Swamp planets would probably be highly prized by all races, for the fact that while it is full of life it is also in a constent state of decay. Everything rots in a sw

I have also decided to add a teaser pic to wet your appitites a little. The picture is of the TEC fleet tree that I am currently working on. Take note, that the final placement of these new technologies is yet to be completed, and the ones requiring starbases may very well end up in the Defense Tree (the two columns of planet techs on the right) while the others will more then likely remain here, just repositioned and jossled a bit. Also, I will be adding even&nbsp

Okay, after taking your replies into consideration, I have decided to progress into providing universal as well as racial abilities to planets. I have provided a list at the top of the thread under Changes for Next Release to give you more of an idea of what I am planning. All abilities shown are working and have been programmed, however if there are any questions, concerns, or ideas I am always open to them and it is not too late for me change things. As of right now there

[quote who="StarFallArmada" reply="15" id="2056963"] Simple awnser is both but not the way your thinking. I think certain planets should have an ability just by virtue of it being that kind of planet (ie Naval Base Planets have the targeting computers and Urban have big trade centers because no matter who owns them they would still be these things). This way you retain that certain planets will have an intrinsic value to fight over. Now add to this your system of race specific planetary

Okay, quick question guys, as I need some outside opinions on this. Should planetary abilities remain strickly race oriantated or should all races have access to them? The reason I am asking is I have been tossing this through my head for a while now and I am yet to come up with an answer, and thought I would ask those who probably have more experiance playing my mod then I do. I could also grant all races to the planetary abilities, while making them more effective to

Yeah I did. I just have been joggling around whether or not I should keep updating the mod myself for entrenchment, and might go back on my previous plan and continue doing it. My train of thought right now is that while it does take away time from getting the 1.5 version of the mod into the public hands, it also keeps me updated on what changes occur in the file structure, such as the issue that you had brought to my attention. Makes me think that it might be better for me

Okay guys, after some research into the Planetary abilities in the Entrenchment version of the mod and I have fixed it and applied it to the new patch. Entrenchment ability files are slightly different then Non-entrenchment ability files in that you must specify what "space" the ability will be used (normal or hyperspace) while in previous version you did not have to specify such. An example of this below: <span style="

Okay I have added a link for a patch to fix the errors given to me by harpo. The zip contains the files needed for the repair. To install just unzip, and within the patch folder is two folders containing the needed files. Move them into the v1.4c mod file and copy over. Thanks again to harpo for making me aware of the errors. If there are any other issues please let me know.
