[quote]Hey Tohklidan, I'm sure you know this but v0.8b needs an update to run with Entrenchment v1.03. Basically you need to add renderShield that is missing. My recent testing also shows that blackholes, gas giants and no atmasphere planets aren't appearing.[/quote] yeah thank for the tip with the renderShield parameter. Blackholes and gas giants work fine as I tested them. The no athmosphere planet (normal size) had a wrong entry in the galaxyscenariodef. I fixed it

[quote]Distant Star mod has merged both Solar Sins planets and CB planets together. All Solar Sins Planets in DS have different sizes just like the CB planets also.[/quote] Yeah everyone who likes Solar Sins should try Distant Stars! It includes the best of all and some cool new features!

[quote who="Neflyte_Zero" reply="3" id="2226795"]TohKlidan: Did you try my solution I posted earlier? Kill the two processes in Task Manager and it will work. Batch file is optional but it's easier than killing those processes after each reboot... Maybe Stardock can put the taskkill in the exe -or the demigod stub thingy.[/quote] No i haven't tried it yet. I will do to this evening.

I have also a launch problem with Demigod: - I disabled my Logitech Webcam (removed the cable and closed the tray app) - Google toolbar is not installed. - the "push the run button spam trick" seams not to work ( after i reached 69 starts i gave it up) the "demigodstub.exe" has the same effect as the normal exe: for a short time the Hourglass cursor appears but nothing else happens. No error dialog, nothing. But if i verify my installation in Im

[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. For example, Uranaus is suposed to have vertical rings not horrizontal but your Terra i

The question is: Do you prefer realism or balanced gameplay that makes fun? ;) My intention is to get as close as possible to the realism but if reality i too boring or unbalanced I change it and leave the reality behind. For the sol system itself I said that most of the planets are terraformed (before you start the game ;) ). So they maybe look different or have an breatable atmosphere and so on... I also think that StarGen planet

thanks for your post svarogteuse. A lot of good ideas! [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] I also downloaded your excel sheet before and I will definatly add some new planets for the sol system. I like also the idea of the Dense Atmosphere planet type. Also the Cryovolano (this is maybe a good new planet bonus for ice planets, to add not to much new planettypes) Dwarfstars and K class star (orange) are already on my todo list ;) But now i have on

Reply to Problem with Planet Access Researches in Sins Modding Sins Forums

yes it does! it seems to me that if you add only one new colonizable planet type the engine can handle it, but 2 or more not, cause they were thrown together and handled as one type.

Reply to Problem with Planet Access Researches in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I looked into Distant Stars and 7Deadly Sins (which contains sins plus as i remember): 7DS contains only the gas giant as new type, the other new planets are linked to existing types. and DS contains more but all researches are linked to "invalid" type and used only for the special abilities each planet has in this mod. cause a grass planet is linked to "terran" and a ocean planet is linked to ice and so on, similiar to 7DS.
