all I can say at this point is: school slowed down modding even more than I expected. Hope to have a better response when the entire modding team is on Christmas Break.

added a couple of screenshots in a shameless bump attempt [e digicons]:grin:[/e] work on this mod is progressing, just really slowly now that school is in full swing. should get some more screens of more ships from all the races soon.

[quote who="ZombiesRus5" reply="17" id="2997005"]Would be a coincidence unless from Sot13t. I made a rough design of the abilities above excluding Ram and Nuke during a break at work. I'll be honest I haven't looked at your mod as of yet and just assumed it included Sot13t without any significant modifications. I'll take a look at it when I get a chance.[/quote] Wasn't counting Nuke and Ram. The non-networked systems and stealth bomber, although now I can't remembe

really like the texturing. especially on what looks like the corrected Valkyrie model. How did you get that anyway? (rhetorical question). is it too early to ask: can I use the new textures/models when they are done? feel free to use anything from the Colonials on Sins of a Sci-Fi Multiverse (if you haven't already, one or two of those capital abilities look familiar [e digicons];)[/e] )

we are currently working on adding the Cylons from Battlestar Galactica and the Republic and CIS from Star Wars as the next three playable factions. and other improvements, balancing, and features. due to school starting, I cannot give any time frame for when they will be released.

[quote who="Volt_Cruelerz" reply="249" id="2975620"]I'm trying to get this as an ability that can be managed at a squad-by-squad basis. And did you mean fighters can't buff themselves or squads can't buff themselves?[/quote] You can have a squadron's ability apply a buff that targets fighters, but you cannot have squads buff themselves (ApplyBuffToSelf). An example of the former: buffInstantActionType "ApplyBuffToTargetsAtOrbitBody" instantActionTr

[quote who="Volt_Cruelerz" reply="223" id="2974299"]And is there really no way to make a squad directly buff a member of that squad?[/quote] You can create a passive non-stacking ability that applies to all fighters in the gravity well. That's the only sure way I know of to give an ability from a squad to its fighters (albeit all that race's fighters in the gravity well). However, like GeoFan77 said, there is no good way to make a squad directly buff the members of that squ

Would it be possible to make an ability easily then to simply ramp up the damage of the ships themselves for a short while then?[/quote] My modding team came up with an ability that might do what you want. We have an ability that spawns fighters with a decreased hit % buff. The trick is to have a buff that does two things: spawn the fighter squadran and

I'll probably end up playing around with it a little bit more, but what you said makes sense and lines up with what i've done so far. tha

New Question: I am currently working on music for a mod and am running an issue: race specific music is playing for all races. I completely replaced all the original Sins music in SoundMusic.sounddata, and then cleared Game.musicdata so it had no tracks listed. All the music calls currently come from the player.entity files. The tracks in the player.entity files are partially unique and partially overlapped. so, for example: music_race1_batt

Short answer: yes. Just make sure that the checksums for the mod match up before you start and, as a rule of thumb, don't play above high graphics settings. Some mods will bump Sins above the 2GB "hardcoded" memory limit which will result in an immediate minidump.
