It should actually be as easy as copying everything from Sins Plus GameInfo into SoA2's GameInfo and overwriting everything. The SoA2 team left all the original files in there, but they didn't modify any of them to my knowledge, so it should really be as easy as that. Try it, and let me know if it works. If it doesn't, I'll take a closer look.

Ok thank you I'll try that and let you know how it goes.

Merging the files first works just fine.  However when I add the lines into the reserch part of the Playerrace.entity files the mod won't load.  I'm going to try a more systematic approach of changing one file at a time.  I'm very new to this kind of thing so if you know a better way to figure out the problem I would appreciate it.

Ok I'm getting closer.  The mod no longer crashes when loading but when I roll over the new planets the info card says string not found for planet type.  Also in the research screen the new planet research has blank pictures and no description.  Lastley the phaser and photon torpedo sounds no longer work.  So I'm going back to be more careful of what I'm replacing from one mod to the other.

Ok, I took a look a both mods and think i figured it out.

You need to copy everything from Uzii's GameInfo, Mesh, and Textures folders into your SoA2 mod but when it asks you if you want to override any files click on NO. Now from Uzii's 'window' folder copy these four files into your SoA2 'window' folder: HUDIcon-planet, InfoCardIcon-Planet, MainViewIcon-Planet, and Picture-Planet. It will ask you if you want to override them, click on YES.

The only two files left that you have to modify are the English.str and GalaxyScenarioDef. Unfortuanately, you cannot just copy them from one folder to another, you actually have to open them up and modify them. Fortuanately, I took the liberty of modifying those two files already and will upload them to filefront in a few minutes so that you can just download them. As soon as I upload the file I will post the link here.

Remember all credit still goes to Major Stress and Uzii.

Hey great! I'm in over my head with this stuff all the help is greatly appriciated.  I'm clearing my evening for some good old fashioned Romulan Empire building .

The upgrades did not appear, it could be an error on my part though.

Other than that every thing else worked.

You guys are totally right, I forgot to modify the player files.

Here is the link to the new modified player files: http://files.filefront.com/Playerszip/;11698304;/fileinfo.html

If anymore problems still exist just let me know and I will try to fix them.

Yeah, i guess i forgot to mention that. All you need to do is replace the Gas Giant entity file from Sins Plus into SoA2. Hopefully thats the last the problem

well I figured it out. one space in the klingon player entity file after changing it to include the new ships. One space.....

yep after that I had to edit the string info which took awhile as well but its all in and working now to adust the new ships to reflect the balance my friends and I made with the original version and this new version will be ready. And if your Reading Thank you Major Stress and Thank you Uzi all i can do is combine your work!
