use notepad++ find in files feature. Select/highlight the term you want to find all the values used, Search ->> Find in Files [Ctrl+Shift+F] and point to the reference files GameInfo or whatever. it will find every time it is used and you can see the value added. Scroll the list and find the variables or highest and lowest integers . Sometimes the highest or lowest integers used is not the highest or lowest you can use, so you will have to test anything beyond what the game

Yeah, it's been a while since I first tried to figure this out, but now I am moving to Blender and creating shaders that allow me to render models with all the separate channels attached, and I needed some good world environments to test reflections and lighting. Finding all this info was a real pain, not many people do these, so I made this page more for myself for future reference. ;p [quote who="GoaFan77" reply="2" id="3671474"] I've tried and failed to

A skybox is a method of creating backgrounds to make a computer and video game levels look bigger than it really is. When a skybox is used, the level is enclosed in a cuboid; and the sky, distant mountains, distant buildings, and other unreachable objects are projected onto the cube's faces (using a technique called cube mapping), thus creating the illusion of distant three-dimensional surroundings. A skydome employs

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="7" id="3654321"] Sins is not that easy to mod. It's that modders took the time to take it apart. [/quote] I have to disagree here. I have never modded a game before Sins, and between the Modding documentation and the huge modding community, it was extremely easy to learn, and was by far the biggest feature that drew me to Sins and kept me here since Entrenchment.

Maybe you can make all ships that can't jump fighter class. Set the hangar points on your ships that jump away from the ship where particle effect will be. You may have to delay the jump to give the fighters a chance to get to the ships before they jump. This should give the proper effect you want, and IIRC you can make many different fighter class ships, but each shp can only handle 3 classes of fighters. So just make sure you have a couple of different ships that can ope

[quote who="JoshuaTedder" reply="2620" id="3645723"] Can buff entities be applied to certain ships without using invaluable ability slots? For example, a hidden buff that disables the jump drives of all frigates or just specific types of frigates. I mean "hidden" as always applied to the ships without using one of the four ability slots, and still showing up on the infocard "Phase Jump Disabled." Or a buff that increases mitigation.
