[quote who="Major Stress" reply="9" id="3531943"] You are correct the documentation is old, and meant for Original Sins/Diplomacy. However, Importing a mesh is no different for Rebellion. The only difference between Rebellion, and Trinity is that ConvertXSI_Rebellion will add some parameters for the newer shadow system. You dont have to worry about that, because ConvertXSI_Rebellion does it automatically. You follow the same steps as you would if you were importing for Diplomacy. [/

[quote who="Major Stress" reply="4" id="3530838"] ConvertXSI is the final step. Use it when you finish your mesh in XSI. Make sure you follow the modding documentation carefully when using ConvertXSI. [/quote] Thank you for the reply. May I ask you for the link of the documentation? There are too many webs about mod here. I found a ConvertXSI in the game file. But where could I found a help about how to use it? There is not a .bat file to assistant with it.</p
[quote who="Major Stress" reply="2" id="3530727"] Many of us learned to model in 3dsmax. It was a requirement for modding Starfleet Command, and Bridge Commander back in the day. Some of us learned to model using Lightwave, or Maya, or Blender as well. [/quote] Thanks a lot for your reply. So you mean I could just finish my model in max without bones or dummy and import it in the XSI to finish the rest work. When everything is OK, the final step is just to launc
Well, I have read some tutorial about modeling, especially this one: https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/176051/page/1/ But to be honest, this really helps less.

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="8" id="3515009"] No. -100% damage reduction doesn't mean the ship instantly dies, it means it takes twice as much damage. [/quote] No, I mean that 100% of this parameter leads to invincible. I wonder what are other cases that 100% or -100% means zero. Planet Population reduction may be one, as you say. I am interested in others.
[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="6" id="3514676"] Indeed, it means one half for most things. There are a few things where -100% is zero. Planeet Population reduction I think for example. The exact formula for things besides those special cases is 1/(1 + n). [/quote] Thanks a lot. Are there other 'special cases'? I think the damageAsDamageTarget must be one, but I have no mind abo
[quote who="Lavo_2" reply="3" id="3513979"] That's not how it works. It means that say Ship 1 and Ship 2 have an ability that does -50% acceleration to an enemy ship. If the stacking limit is 2, and both ships can cast the ability infinitely, with ForAllPlayers the enemy ship will experience -100% acceleration, as the buff can only stack two times. However, if the buff is set to PerPlayer, the ship will experience -200% acceleration, as both Ship 1 and Ship 2 each cast the abil
[quote who="Lavo_2" reply="1" id="3513858"] buffStackingLimitType refers to the "owner" of the original caster. For example, with a stacking limit of one and a buffStackingLimitType of ForAllPlayers, a phase gate buff will only work for a single player, if there are multiple phase gates in a gravity well. However, with a buffStackingLimitType of PerPlayer means that each player has a stacking limit of 1, i.e. everyone can have a phase gate buff on that gravity well. [/qu
Well, I have been studied modding in SSE for a long time. With the help of Eclipse plugin, I could edit the actions skilled. But I still not really understand the first few lines of a buff file. As the below: onReapplyDuplicateType "PrioritizeNewBuffs" buffStackingLimitType "ForAllPlayers" buffExclusivityForAIType "NotExclusive" What are those mean in the game, or what will happen if I edit these lines.

Well, I have just started to use eclipse due to java class these days. So I want to try the SSE plugin to help my SSE modding. But I found most of pics in the web were unable to be seen. So it is hard to complete the install for me. I have copy the .jar in the "plugins" catalog but when I restarted the eclipse, the list of plugins did not change. If someone could re-upload the pics of the tutorial of tell me what to do next it will helps a lot. Thanks a lot.
[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="1" id="3493842"] Unfortunately, my attempts to do something similar to the Diplomacy tree also failed. It seems these two tech trees will only recognize one block for whatever reason. Fortunately you can make the single block as big as you like, so you can leave a blank row to sort of simulate a new block. [/quote] Yes I have to give up my former plan about blocks now. But a new question, just like ZombiesRus5 said, the position of

[quote who="RespawnedTitanL10" reply="36" id="3473657"] Sins does benefit from a SSD more than most games; its loading times are pretty slow from a HDD. [/quote] Can' t agree more, due to the window show when SSE crash is "minidump" by the program instead of the "runtime error, oxXXXXXXXX can not be read only" or so on by OS. We could see it is not a RAM leak or limit error (just I guess). BTW, some of my friends have tried
[quote who="Delnar_Ersike" reply="31" id="3473187"] Wouldn't compiling the game's source for an x86_64 target allow the game use more than 2GB? Even if Ironclad are busy with other projects, having someone go back and do a recompile would take a few hours at max (and it would be a recompile, since all x86 instructions are fully supported in x86_64), though I understand you'd still need to do QA and Steam certification. Maybe release it as a beta the way the 1.82 patch was fo
[quote who="RespawnedTitanL10" reply="29" id="3473090"] You can't just mark the exe as /LAA, there are some technical gotchas to test/prepare your 32-bit app for 3GB, which may need source code changes. Which is why devs don't spam this LAA bit willy-nilly. See http://books.google.com/books?id=wYrCitbs5PQC&pg=PT451 for instance. [/quote] Yes, either 4GB patch or LAA could work
[quote who="soase-maelstrom" reply="25" id="3470508"] 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 6
[quote who="Major Stress" reply="26" id="3470542"] That only concludes that sins still will not go over 2 gigs. These "patches" may give sins the 2 gigs of "room" it needs in your system, but they will not force sins to use more than what is hardcoded into it. Kind of like trying to force a square peg into a round hole. Other games like the X3 series were patched by the developers over time to use more than 2 gigs of ram. I believe like how it was explained before by making i
