lol that's the kinda fun I like(a sun with a full gravity well of 500 homing mines is scary enough even seeing them) any way you could tell me how to hide the mine icons only and maybe make the mine's "entity" vanish as much as it can?(maybe just a blinking light or something to that effect)
While i think of it. Sin can you make the size of the mines about half their usual model size? Maybe run it by Stress or the other opti crew for a work check. I was thinking the smaller they are, the less memory they'd use compared to many other things, and no one really spends much time gawking at the zoomed in mines(maybe a little when they first came out). just my thoughts =x
I was looking at the mines recently and remembered all the memory they eat up in long term games. Then I thought"does anyone really spend much time looking at the mines other than the icons?" So my idea would be to reduce the size of the mine's 3D models, their meshs and such and see if we could cut their parameters in half at least while keeping their impact on gameplay the same. Would anyone really miss the mines if the late game stayed quick despite 1000+mines in the system?</p

It kind of occurred to me that the mines are huge if you think about it. I mean sure, space mines and all, but these things are about the size of an orbiting satellite o.o; I mean look at the cars and stuff going between planetary elevators then compare them to a space mine..... at most I could agree with about 50% smaller given DS's addition to the destructiveness(oh homing mines how I love the) but still, mines are by nature hard to see hidden or not so hidden. Did anyone think ab

I think it would take quite a bit of tinkering to get the files I'm after to play nice with the other mods. Though a lot of the effects in Diplomacy are pulled from entrenchment's files. given my coming weekend is full of annotation and study I'm not gonna be able to do anything ~_~

ehhh? the Diplomacy version doesn't have the beams? ;.; oh well, the whole mod can stack with DS and the mini-mods so that works anyway i guess Edit:spoke too soon, mini dumped a little ways in*sigh* I liked the phase jump effects though dump happened with the tech tree, 3 lvls on gauss, were ok, but once you do 4 it dumps apparently @_@

True, but there would always be the chance I'd ignore it completely too ;p

I may take your mod and dissect it for a few of the simpler alterations like the phase jump customs and the trancendia beams o.o, always felt beams were more natural than plasma or that "psionic missile" thingy Edit: Would the Trancendia's particles be the one of the Capital beams or PsiSpirit..or what o.o;

what's with the "fixed level 10"? thought it would be 1 since it's a non capital ability "finished condition type enter hyperspace" dunno about that one and the last set of level 1 level 2 level 3 you have the 2nd and 3rd lvls at 0 while the 1st has a value unlike the others up top that have identical values for all 3 levels

See why most of us leave the updating to the guys with real knowledge on the subject while we test and suggest improvements? ;) my greatest accomplishment was the .user file definition and layout lol that's the most "modding" I've done and probably the most I'll be doing for a long time [e digicons]:dur:[/e]
well, if it's lag you're hunting, a lot can be reduced from the game's startup itself, aswell as late game empitre tree trimming and condensing. All of the mentioned is done with the diplomacy.user settings file in the appdata/local/ironclad/sinsofasolarempire/settings I mapped it out so people can alter them safely. There is even a few in there to reduce the amount of "pretty lights" from weapons and skills that reduce, make the empire tree stack 90+ instead of 10(recommend
Sin, will you truly bring "missile strikecraft" to the game so the carriers can become pseudo-missile-carriers, even if they only attack other strike craft I'd be alright with it lol, anti fighter/enemy missile measures are still fun also [quote who="ghoohg" reply="28" id="2955129"]what about the mines at 1:12? that was an awesome idea and a great movie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_1C2gKJ0vg&feature=related "This ship, is dr
I think it might make things a bit slower in the money making market for inter-empire trading. On a related note to the 1(or few) trade ships, do you think it would be possible to add a .001 diplomacy bonus for each successful trip a ship makes from your trade port to an ally's? I can already see it being abused with making about 8 trade ports on a planet neighboring an ally's but in normal usage do you think it would be a decent addition for diplomacy? I mean, everyone's happy wh

*nods at the above* yeah, lookin back we've come a long way over the years, even I, someone with 0 modding experience found out how to adjust"hidden settings" in the game and cut out a lot of the startup stuff that was unessential like the movin logos and the solar system behind the menus at the start of the game and so things stack in 50+ instead of stacks of 10 for each unit(i.e. 50 disciple vessels are now 1 icon on your empire tree, not 5 icons of 10 stacked ships) you can fin

I know oatesy that's why I worded it that way ;p on a sad note, after getting it running and such and starting a nice large game of "lets manipulate the computer into attacking one another and feeding me resources while I starbase all of their planets" I got a mini dump as my fleet(vasari) was attacking other vasari..not convinced that's the reason though, I'm thinking it was some research I might have finished at that moment.....but I had so much going at o
