Reply to Population Caps in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Right, this was an email, so if it looks a bit funny, forgive me. Ok. The files you need to change are in the 'GameInfo' folder. They are named like so: RESEARCHSUBJECT_MAXCAPITALSHIPSTECH0 RESEARCHSUBJECT_MAXCAPITALSHIPSTECH1 RESEARCHSUBJECT_MAXCAPITALSHIPSTECH2... up to level 7, they're for the TEC Empire, the Vasari are PHASE, and the Advent are PSI. Open number 0 for each race and change this line: researchModifier modifierType "CapitalSh

Yes, there are quite a few mods out, and I gave another guy a quick tutorial. Give me a moment and I'll dig it up for you.

Reply to Editing MESH files - HELP!!! in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Mmmm... The .MESH files in the mod package can be opened in a text editor. So for basic things like changing the texture the mesh loads, there fine. As for 3D modeling, I'm not sure. I think I saw somewhere you have to use the 'Run...' command on the Start menu, but don't quote me on that. Good luck anyway.

Hahaha! This is like a circus. And I checked you out on the WiC forums. How many clans and aliases do you have? I counted 3 clans all lead by you with a slightly different name. There are 2 possible reasons why you created multiple names. 1. So you could be in multiple clans, which shows that you really have little loyalty to one group of people, or 2. You were banned for Stat Padding or trolling on the forums. So far, my experience with you suggests the latter.

Lol, you didn't answer any of my questions, and you threw out some more riddles and nonsense. I agree with pndrev, you've got the sure signs of a troll. Well, keep it up and you should be removed sooner or later.

Reply to Editing MESH files - HELP!!! in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Don't you have to convert them with one of the tools in the mod pack? I'm not into modeling yet, but I'm pretty sure one of them is the converter for meshes... Can someone with modeling knowledge confirm this?

Reply to Shield effect texture? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I would put my bet on it being in the Textures folder, and the easiest way I've found, is to download a DDS thumbnail viewer. Search Google and you should get it. It will allow you to view the .dds files that mainly comprise the Textures folder, and should make finding your elusive file easier.

Reply to {DISCONTINUED}[MOD] Extra Planetary Bonuses (by Uzii) v1.1 in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Yes, this got me to begin with and its a good point m8chor. I thought [color="#FF0000"]red[/color] was bad, and [color="#00FF00"]green[/color] was good. But no. [color="#FF0000"]Red[/color] is a decrease, and [color="#00FF00"]green[/color] is an increase. Also, all values add or subtract from the original, they alone do not state anything. So, structure build cost in [color="#00FF00"]green[/color] is an increase in cost, therefore a bad thing to have. And build rate in [color="#FF0

Photoshop CS2. I recommend it highly, takes days to get used to, but there are plenty of tutorials out for it on the web. You can use it for simple stuff, like the alpha channel, or really complex stuff with crazy blending effects and what not. I'll PM you details.

Oh, you mean the Z-axis for the actual planet? No idea, I thought that was to do with the Galaxy Forge. Good luck anyway.

Reply to Custom planet Z? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

You want to increase the height available to move in around certain planets, right? If thats it, then I've got a bad feeling you might not be able to do it with the current Mod Tools. I didn't see anything in the Planet####.ENTITY files to do with the Z-axis, and if its going to be anywhere, it would probably be in them. Good luck anyway, I hope someone else can help you out. EDIT: Are you sure its not directly linked to the size of the movement area defined in the pla

Reply to Increase planet tactical capacities or improved defense mods in Sins Modding Sins Forums

There are numerous mods out that boost defence. They are scattered around this forum, just have a browse and see which one fits you best. Or, if you can wait a day(working tomorrow daytime GMT), then I'll write a little walkthrough on how to triple the number of Tactical slots per planet, or increase the power of Gun platforms, hangar bays, or whatever. Or if modding really isn't your thing, leave an exact list of things you want changed, and I'll whip up a quick mod for you (

Tutorial to make your own planets [link="https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/?forumid=443&aid=300431"]Here[/link]. As for the [B]_cl[/B] and [B]_da[/B], not sure what they stand for, but [B]_cl[/B] is the light side of the planet, and [B]_da[/B] is the dark side of the planet. The planet textures also have an Alpha channel, which seems to effect its reflectivity. White will reflect light, good for the oceans, ice caps, and snow capped mountains. Black is non-reflective, grass

Reply to [MOD] Distant Stars 1.0 - [22/06/08] UPDATED - Public beta 1.05 Compatible in Sins Modding Sins Forums

My next update will include the 3 planets (plus the old Oceanic planet), a few new research subjects tied directly to the new planets (colonisation and population cap increase), and 25 new Bonuses (plus the old 20 from my other mod). That will be in my new mod, but if you just want the planets, I'm sure I could knock that up for you, if you like.
