[quote who="lazerface" reply="3" id="2266763"]The mod looks great so far, but i have a question that kinda has nothing to do with it. Im a fan of ST but still relatively new to it and i always wanted to know how advanced the federation is compared to Romulans, Klingons, Breen, and Cardassians.[/quote] I think that depends on what period of time are we speaking of. In the chronologically early stages (First Contact shows them), when the humans were about to discover warp propulsion the

Reply to HORRIBLE AI in Strategy Sins Forums

I think I can confirm with the unfair AI, it usually sends few capital ships (often lvl1) + fleet against my fully upgraded starbases (let's say neutral grav well, so there's just the starbase), once they hit the research also with some anti-structure ships but they go down quick to those 10/14 fighters stationed on the starbase (and the starbase itself). After the 6/7th attempt they are almost about to bring it down (since repairs are not much quick) but..whops..my capitals appear in

[quote who="Thoumsin" reply="15" id="2245774"] Quoting LoTeK_83, reply 12Sins run on Vista64 however it will use only 2GB of RAM as it runs as a 32bit application. Not fully true... if you have more that 4gb ram, any 32 bits application on XP/Vista x64 will use the WOW64 mode who allow a full 4gb for the application...

Just a short bug report about the latest 2.2 beta. The Alliance MC80a and MC80 battleships names (or descriptions) are inverted. The shields graphic effect cut the capital ships hulls in several points (not sure if that's reflected in effective coverage/damage) as it wasn't probably resized or it isn't rezising properly for the new capitals which are bigger from vanilla ones. (already reported) Sometimes ships just va

Reply to Will Sins Run on Windows 64 bit? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Sins run on Vista64 however it will use only 2GB of RAM as it runs as a 32bit application. Until 64bit OS will not be the de-facto standard a 64bit version of Sins won't be released. That's the reply I got from the support team when I was experiencing lots of 'out of memory' minidumps, the latest patch which improved memory handling, if I got that right, partially resolved the issue but I still crash if I set all details to highest and it seems theres nothing I can do about it

Reply to [MOD] Celestial Bodies (update 06/29/09) 0.9 for Entrenchment 1.03 in Sins Modding Sins Forums

[quote who="soasertsus" reply="10" id="2194199"]Some constructive critisism... I just played your vanilla version and there were so many problem it ruined the experience. First of all some of the pictures and stuff are missing. Second it is plauged by string not found problems. Third the Sol system planets are messed up big time. They are not textured corectly and just dont feel right. But your Terra is amazing. Also there were varyous other small isues that took away from the mod.

Reply to "ENCRASHMENT" - Crash Problems? in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Seems random...and no I'm not playing online but in local with my friends and singleplayer. With Celestial Bodies and Volumetric Explosions mods (tried also with or without bailknight's effects) we got a dump in the first 5 minutes of play. In single is much more stable to me but keeps dumping, crashing and whatnot often..it gave even a bsod pair of times [e digicons]:|[/e]

Reply to [Portrait Replacement] For those who want prettier portraits in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I was able to get them to work together with some other mods some time ago, it is something related to loading order, try moving it up or down and use the following instructions: [quote who="Kingrames" reply="19" id="1703976"]A better way to do it: create a custom mod folder in your mods directory. name it "portraits mod" or something similar. in that folder, create a folder named "Textures" and drop these .tga files in there. Now, you can enable

Sorry but I've read and read again the previous posts and I'm still confused. I have entrenchment with celestial+volumetric+bailknights (activated in this order), which package of volumetric (except 1.12a of course) should I use to get all effects? And what's that "just-splodeys"/"Volumetric stuff and nothing else" option?

Reply to Forge Tools 3 Released in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Added new entry in galaxy.manifest but still not working for me, instant defeat. If I use the user galaxy directory the map shows (as a custom map) but give an instant defeat. If I don't use the user galaxy directory (and put the map in /Sins/Entrenchment/Galaxy) the map won't show. Tried also by putting the map in both vanilla and entrenchment galaxy directory but it's not showing up.

Reply to [Solution]Galaxy Forge Maps not appearing in entrenchment in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I've done the above but as I come to play the map I get an instant defeat and if I click "keep playing" I see an empty galaxy. Now I seem to remember there was some edit to do with notepad for a problem of this kind so I've opened the map and noticed VersionNumber says 3 already and the problem persist.

Reply to Beta 2.5 glitches and issues in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

The title seem to fit. I was playing (as host) a multiplayer entrenchment 2.5 game on a LAN with some friends and we noticed there were some issues after saving/loading the game. Synchronisation issues of some sort I think, I was not able to see some of my ally units/bases and viceversa. To me, his fleet (as well as the enemy fleet) was on in one place when to him it was in another. It seem I was suffering delay on the whole game (pirates not synchronized, warnings, etc

Bump, definately. This thread should never exit the "recent posts". Besides that, is by chance already available Sins plus 1.11 version for the forge tools? Or the previous ones are still compatible? And great thanks to anyone who have worked/is working for this mod survival. (Please keep a standalone version)

If I would have to do that for every single game I have on 1TB disk space...I would find my computer full of unecessary software. Why I must install something (that I don't really want) more than the beloved game and its patches? It's just...not needed. If the policy chosen is the one declared in some articles I've read on first pages, releasing the patch by secure site or serial check would mean be coerent...a right compromise between customers and companies, otherwise that beatiful wo
