[quote who="Stant123" reply="5595" id="2971640"]For single file or small batch of file jobs, I use dekhranic's converter since it doesn't care what folder the file is in to convert it: https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/322559 For larger jobs, like taking the most recent update and batch converting it back to text so I can add back in my own personal tweaks, Harpo's: https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/356807 The link is at the bottom of the or
I wanna make rings appear more frequently, but I wanted it to be a universal change ;.; I have to go into each planet's entity file and alter it apparently*sulks* you guys don't mind me doing it in DS do you? Added: HA!! found it!! it's in the entity files near the bottom.... the standard chance for rings are.05? wth .05% that's not even funny x.x that's about the same chance as the lottery!! anyway, I found it in the reference files fo
I already looked into and tinkered with both of those thoroughly, no change in the rings. Looks like I'd have to alter the planetary entity files to get what I'm after, I had a feeling, but I didn't want to admit to it. Thanks again Harpo
Well yeah but certain files show up with blocked out sections or utter jibber jabber in notepad is all I meant with that ;p BTW: Harpo, do you know what file determines the frequency of planetary rings? Answered elsewhere
lol, using note pad will take you forever 'cause it doesn't recognize it's dealing with code and just lumps it all together. Save yourself a headache, get notepad++ ;p it's much easier and faster
I would if I knew how to upload on here, but I think for the most part it takes a second site, which I hold no account on any such thing lol but you can get Notepad++ and follow the previous directions too, it's a simple fix =3
They might have just mentioned the key points of the updates. Who knows, maybe it was a side effect of altering something else and they didn't catch it themselves but no one's gonna complain I think =D
[quote who="Darvin3" reply="243" id="2940851"]Against phase missile spam, I find your best friend is the Rapture. Vengeance will punish focus fire, while Vertigo can drastically cut their damage output. Shame there really isn't enough antimatter to use both effectively, but each ability is a real savior. Advent armour upgrades are a little too expensive to be a viable countermeasure, though they're very nice one you have them.[/quote] if you use it with the A
lol @ Goa & Kitkun @Grif101 for Impulse registration, you can just use your iron clad login(this one that you use for the site) and follow the steps listed above. Also, once you register and update, you'll be open for online game =D
lol, I had to do a double take when i got a whisper from the AI, "I'm worried about my planet, Kit-Kunis" in my last game, someone snuck an extra name into the planet name string folder ;p
I like the advent in multi-system maps lol, you can lock down a sun easily with 4 starbases. Stick them in the right spots, give them the psionic wave to disable all enemies in range, max weapons out and max out fighters, nothing gets beyond the sun's gravity well lol. If the psionic "sand trap" doesn't catch them, the 80 squadrons of strike craft will take anything out in one pass lol
*plays necromancy card* Fist0, did they fix these in the newer patches or are they still using the same icon 12 times. Also, does this happen to work with the newer patches/have you tested it?
[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="14" id="2970865"]I know vicious and cruel, and perhaps unfair AI get a research speed bonus in addition their economic handicaps.[/quote] i know vicious and cruel, but this happened on normal and easy lol (I go with the autonomous amoeba brained AIs for update tests)
The AI build super weapons like mad now, and Really early =X 10 mins into the game and they have the super weapons? Vasari I could see, make 8 labs and get the tech, then spam the black market for credits But TEC and Advent? All those prerequisites that quick? I smell somehtin; fishy and it ain't yo mama's feet
