SoGE-Team

To any of those that want a Death Star, we may soon see the planet-destroying ability in Rebellion!

Close to the end of this Q&A Session, there hints at such a weapon from the Vasari Loyalists...

http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/sins-of-a-solar-empire-rebellion/1217222p1.html

It COULD also mean that the Vasari don't need planets to be in the game anymore, meaning everything's mobile, but the "maybe" answer to the Death Star question leads to the above conclusion...

They did also mention there being specific maps for scenarios rather than just an arena to fight in, so it COULD be used in a scenario-type map as well.

We have no model for the Worldship at this time unfortunately.

I'm more interested in the confirmed ability to take over enemy planets outright with an ability. Depending on how that works, it could be quite possible to make SoGE work more like SW: Rebellion.

Have you turned off "Use Colored Skyboxes", "Use Deep Space Skyboxes", and "Bloom Enabled" from the Effects page? I also need more info, as I can't really tell anything about your case based on your post. It is possible, however unlikely, that your computer might not be able to handle SoGE, as it is considerably more resource intensive than stock Sins.

As it seems moddb's staff is taking awhile to authorize the page, here's a mediafire mirror in the meantime.

The moddb download seems to be up. Thanks for the quick patching, you guys made my day!!

SoGE is not doing anything with the KotOR era nor are there any plans to add in more factions at this time. KotOR would have to be it's own separate mod; there's simply too many technological gaps between that era and even the Clone Wars.

Posting it here works; I'm monitoring the thread.

It's a glitch. Thanks for the heads up, I'll fix it right away, will upload the fix to moddb later today, along with some new models.

I will have to play against a unfair Vong to see that world ship ......

That's there for some AI-related tweaks; you don't have to worry about them.

here is my STANDARD info for finding the mods folder

assuming you have sins 1.193/entrenchment 1.053/diplomacy 1.34(the current non-beta versions), AND your windows is installed on the 'C:' drive,  the Mods NEED to be placed here for xp
C:\Documents and Settings\'user name'\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-v1.193
C:\Documents and Settings\'user name'\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Entrenchment v1.053
C:\Documents and Settings\'user name'\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Diplomacy v1.34

or here for vista/windows 7
C:\Users\'user name'\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-v1.193
C:\Users\'user name'\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Entrenchment v1.053
C:\Users\'user name'\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Diplomacy v1.34

NOTE the first two folders after the 'user name' are hidden , so to see them you must first click on 'tools' then 'folder options', then 'view', then click on 'show hidden files& folders' then click ok, then you will be able to browse your want to the folder. I suggest when you find the folder that you create a shortcut to it on the desktop

NOTE 2 the 'user name' in the above paths is your WINDOWS login user name, eg Administrator

note 3 these shortcuts assume your windows installation is the 'C' drive

and if the mod you want to use is from an EARLIER sins/entrenchment version place the mod in the mods folder FOR THAT version eg mods-entrenchment v1.03, then download and run my mods updater from the latest version archive which will have the same number as the vanilla sins version number, and AFTER updating the mod(s) to the current version for any mods of pre 1.04 entrenchment ALSO run the manifest maker on ENTITY manifests on EACH of the mods EXCEPT for total conversion mods
