Both R8 and R9 are compatible with patch v1.82 They are not compatible with v1.83 which is an opt-in patch and is still a beta (as far as I am aware). Patch v1.83 has some bugs ... On checking the forums I have noticed that patch v1.84 was released today (dated 14th June) https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/478079/page/1/ ... so I have some work ahead of me
Hi digdug83, Thanks for letting me know ... I was not even aware of the problem
Hi vrishnak92, It is always good to know what you are getting ... You can find the change log here (News for Maelstrom Mod, December 2015, Rebellion) http://www.moddb.com/mods/maelstrom Cheers
Hi aliberk15, As far as I know it is not just a matter of separating the various races. Several files would have to be altered. You can ask "Zombie" if he would like to do. As I told him before he is welcome to any of my content for his mods. I also think it was his intention to combine various mods in this way. What time I have is spent on an expansion version of my mod ...
Apologies, old age must be catching up with me ... You can find the change log here (News for Maelstrom Mod, December 2015, Rebellion) http://www.moddb.com/mods/maelstrom Cheers
It has been a long time since I did the modelling for the new races ... I can't exactly remember my reasoning for making then larger ... possibly in giving the TA frigates some advantages (i.e larger hulls)
[quote who="rudenut" reply="1634" id="3614054"] , if any thought has been put towards making all of the races modular as their own separate mod to reduce the total ram footprint [/quote] Firstly, I like to keep it simple ... the fundamental idea, of the mod, was to double the assets in the game, i.e races, planets, etc Secondly, the 3 new players RAM footprints are quite small as I reuse the textures from the original races ... models and audio excluded Also,
Thanks ... appreciated!
Hi Sinperium , glad you are still about! I'm still here waiting for Sins 2 (64-bit) ...
For those that are interested ... I have just released R9 for rebellion.
Thanks ... problem noted
I have been caught up in RL in combination with taking a break ... One other thing ... I did see your request "I'd Like To Have A Few Permissions Regarding The Mod ._. " which was a little cryptic and thought I would wait for more information (which I have now) Nevertheless, you are welcome to use 'Some Of The Asserts From Maelstom Mod' ... good luck
[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="3" id="3488798"] Obviously I cannot say what Maelstrom might think, but in general he's a pretty cool guy, and we greatly respect each other's mods. So I would definitely PM him, and I think you'll find this little project will get much more use if you do it WITH our permission. [/quote] I agree with GoaFan77 ... no problems with you using my mod, especially if it helps create more interest in Sins
[quote who="UnleashedElf" reply="1617" id="3483145"] Installation was complete and it's looking like the 2GB limit is working. [/quote] Good news [quote who="UnleashedElf" reply="1617" id="3483145"] What size maps are you playing? I think about 100 stars is ok, any more and it will use more than 2gb physically. [/quote] I typically test on random huge maps with 10 players ... You might have to reduce the ship and building 'Bump'
I use the windows firewall and for virus I use avg (free version). The RAM testing with the 4GB patch (LAA) was extensive and was related to the discussion https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/454494/page/1/#3470508 I had all my graphics effects settings at highest and my system was stable to around 2GB ... I ran it till it crashed, and the crash point was fairly consistent. It might be subtly
[quote who="UnleashedElf" reply="1612" id="3480835"] It's not a hardware issue or a Windows issue. [/quote] From the information you have given me ... the only issue is why the 4GB patch does not work for you. As I said crashes at around 1.7GB is typically what I see ... my assumption is that steam also reserves some of the 2GB RAM of Sins My System is as follows: OS is Win 7 64-bit pro, 8GB RAM, Intel i7-2600 @3.4GHz. Graphics is AMD Radeo
Are you using a 64 bit OS?
[quote who="helgish" reply="1605" id="3480600"] Quick question, is it possible to play as the pirates? [/quote] There is a bug with the pirate race. Some have report that it is with the super weapon. This week I will have a closer look at the pirates to track the problem ...
[quote who="UnleashedElf" reply="1606" id="3480774"] The game seems to crash when it uses ~1.7Gb of RAM. [/quote] That is the same for me ... I have noticed this since Sins has moved to steam. Prior to this it crashed at about 1.9GB. You can try the 4GB patch which comes with the mod ... I have tested this up to 2GB's. I By the way I have Windows 7 pro 64 bit. If you have a 64 bit OS then the 4GB patch (LAA) should work ... again up to 2GB. No one has rep
[quote who="Meklor" reply="1603" id="3479087"]For the Norlami's colony capital ship, putting points into amplify energy doesn't give the ability, but does use up the points. You can waste multiple points this way.[/quote] Thanks ... it has also been pointed out to me at moddb [quote who="Meklor" reply="1603" id="3479087"]This mod is very interesting, and so far the two factions I've played as have some pretty big differences in how they play.[/quote]
Here is fine ... thanks
[quote who="JamesDyk" reply="1599" id="3473419"]Is the thing with the random events crashing the mod still a thing? (as mentioned above)[/quote] Not now as R8 has been released for patch 1.82 of Rebellion AI works fine ... so I think ... and so I have been told
The developers have added a Random resource boom which will crash the mod ... at least some temporary stability can be had by disabling random events. Currently working on upgrade for 1.82 patch
Have been testing Rebellion (Malestrom) 1.82 with the "4GB patch". Random Huge and Vast maps, 10 players, highest settings for all graphics effects. Whereas normally Rebellion (without the patch) would crash around 1.7GB RAM usage with the '4GB patch' I can get stable operation to about 1.95 GB. I have had RAM usage peak just above 2GB before a crash. PS: My System is as follows: OS is Win 7 64-bit pro, 8GB RAM, Intel i7-2600 @3.4GHz. Graphics is AMD Radeon HD
