ok so if I could figure out how to mod this myself i would have. there is a ring around each planet that shows you info . you see on the left your amount of fleet in orbit on your right , the enemy on bottom your overall development of the planet. but there is unused space on top of each planet for one more infobar so i went ahead in paint (ROFL at my own newbness at modding , but anyhow)and i added A bar on top of a planet. this bar can ,(and should I

yes. thanks for the clarification . i understand what you meant now
I am confused as to where I put the textures. you say my mods folder in c:/program files/stardock/total/gaming yet I was under the impression i only had a mods folder in documents and settings/owner/local user/application data/ironclad games/sins of a solar empire/mods should I create one in my main directory also. is that where you mean to put the last part? I understand where to put the actuall mod. it is the textures and the icons I am confused about . the readme is A bit confusing there
Bump ........ this needs to be adressed by stardock or one of the fraser bro's before i let this thread die
yes you are right . the A.I actually was bidding on his teamates bounty in my game as well. this is deffinatley not intended
actually you do got a point , it could be dense and porous, but the gravity well either has to be small or big. it cant be both
the porus and the dense core kinda make each other moot. [img]http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/7728/screenshot1eb9.png[/img]
Ok this really makes pirates usefull only to the player .When playing against the computer. it will never put bounty on someone with 0 bounty if there are other choices. seems logical at first.I tried this with teams locked and unlocked. works both ways . I just played A medium map with 3 opponents and only once when i went afk for a sec did i have bounty on my head ,simply by keeping at least 2 peoples bounty positive besides me. i never get targeted. I took A screenshot of t
I recently switched my textures to the ones in the sins texture pack 1 . (which are Awesome 4 thumbs up to that mod) Now my questions , in the textures folder it lists planet volcanic 1 and 2 ,ect for each type . since i currently have 2 sets for the planets and stars. How would I go about making the game randomly choosing from both sets of textures? Could I somehow change the names to planet volcanic ( 3 ) and somehow tell the game that it has A third and 4th and 5th ect set of textures
What exactly do you mean by WB registry key entries. what does the Wb stand for?
I installed mycolors .Everything starts fine. I can browse and select different themes. i go to select any theme and apply it. In particular I am attempting the SINS one . this problem I am positive is on my side but I still hope you may have some insight . when I apply A theme It loads up some icons changes my wallpaper then switches me to windows classic view but thats where it stops. I had a previous post and what was mentioned was antivirus software. I went ahead and added them
hrmm. you know that A single star is really uncommon in the night sky(except for ancient old white dwarfs). as most start are binary ,triple,or even quadruple star systems. i do hope they fix this as the nearest 20 or so stars 90% are multiple star systems. I thought about this when i went to make A map of the nearest few stars and our solar system.
I usually just fly right by the enemy fleet and go destroy his planets. I only fight his fleet when he has one planet left. let him run then lol .
