Reply to WICH TOOLS FOR CREATING SHIPMODELS in Sins Modding Sins Forums

[quote]I use Maya 7.0 to model; but that's because I learned how to model with it and any other program would just confuse me.[/quote] Ive worked with a few modeling programs (although Im not very good with them) but there interfaces all seem to be relatively the same. I personally use 3ds or the free XSI Mod Tool. Kushan

Reply to Forge Tools for Sins v1.05 Now Available in Sins Modding Sins Forums

1. unzip it to any directory. Where ever you want to run the mod tools from 2. To get the developer .exe working, copy it from the directory you installed the forge tools in, into your main Sins installation folder (It should have your normal .exe file in it), then just double click the developer .exe icon to run in developer mode. Helps to create a shortcut to it and place it on your desktop. 3. See the documentation in the directory you unzipped the forge tools to. It should

Reply to converting from Maya to .Mesh in Sins Modding Sins Forums

[QUOTE]As far as I know, it isn't possible. The only tool we have is for converting XSI to mesh. So you'll have to get your Maya work into XSI somehow[/QUOTE] We can also use 3ds max to export to .mesh Kushan

Opening Sins Models in Sins Modding Sins Forums

How do you open the stock Sins models? Ive tried to open them in both 3ds max and XSI mod tool, but neither seems to recognize the .mesh format. Thanks, Kushan

Atm, turrets are not possible. I think the TEC uses them (Kol battleship?) but no one has figured out how to recreate it. For modeling get [link="http://www.softimage.com/downloads/XSI_Mod_Tool/default.aspx"]Mod Tool[/link] from the Softimage web site. Its free. Kushan

Reply to Modding Question in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I plan to have one, maybe two cap ships per race. Sort of a fleet command ship. i just wanted to make sure there was no difference in how the cap ship files was set up compared to the frigate files. I didn't see any difference, just wanted to make sure. Thanks for the replies. Kushan

Reply to General logistics to modding? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

XSI is included in the mod tools. Its the modeling program used to do ship models in sins. So there is really no need to mess with 3dsm. there is a really good tutorial [link="https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/311916"]Here[/link] on how to use it. I personally use [link="http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm"]Notepad++[/link] for my text file editing, its a free notepad replacement. For texture editing, I would have to say photoshop is the way to go IMO.

Modding Question in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Has anyone tried removing all of the capital ships and making them into cruisers, or removing any of one classification of ship for that matter? I was thinking of making all the capital ships into cruisers, and keep 5 support ships as frigates. But I dont want to go through the work of removing and re-classifying ships if its not possible. Thanks, Kushan

Reply to Stargate Space Conflict in Sins Modding Sins Forums

[link="https://www.sinsofasolarempire.com/downloads.aspx"]Forge Tools[/link] Contains all the files you need to mod. "Reference Data/GameInfo" contains all the files. When doing a mod, all the files from each of the categories modded needs to be included in your mod folder. Ex. If you change a file in GameInfo, all the files from GameInfo folder needs to be in your download, same goes for if you change anything in the Mesh, Particle, or Window folders. Hope that helps, <br/

Reply to Thoughts for the new Stargate Mod in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

[QUOTE]Of course, any gates built after the disaster would function perfectly well, and I would like to think that after ten years of messing around with the stargate network the Tau'ri have some idea how to build one.[/QUOTE} I think, at least in the show, that they wouldnt have the ability to do that. Remember the gate system was built by the ancients, I think only the Asgard could make a "new" stargate from scratch. The technology required would be incredible. As far as why

Reply to Babylon 5 0.4 Release in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I installed the mod, just got done playing the first part of my Ranger Campaign. I have to say that this is by far one of the best mods I have played. The level of detail is amazing. The Minbari are by far the most expansive atm, they are heming me in on all sides with colonies. Is there any way to slow down the rate at which the AI expands? or get them to build something other then colony ships. Awesome mod though. Does anyone know if its possible to create your own
