[quote who="AceXMachine" reply="2142" id="3438761"] Need some help with an ability I'm creating. Is there any way for an ability to play a dialogue sound (vs an effect sound)?.

[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="96" id="3192273"] There is an OnChance condition...however, to make things "exclusive" (ie you couldn't have both engines and hull repair disabled) would require a buff chain (if it's even possible).... So yes, I do believe you can do that...however, I don't like that method for gameplay reseaons...for better or worse, predictability is essential to active abilities...disabling engines is normally useless, so if you got that debu

Holy what-the-f*ckery batman... Ontopic: I wish it was possible for the GRG to have a random chance to damage a random system( as opposed to always one particular system). If engines = speed debuff, shield generators = shield regen rate debuff (or shields colapse completely?), Fire control systems = Weapon cooldown debuff, Generators = AM regen debuff, Cafeteria = ship explodes......I am assuming that this is not currently possible though...

[quote who="CoronalFire" reply="100" id="3191398"] What Ace doesn't seem to understand is the difference isn't just one fleet upgrade. It grows the more the VR builds SBs, i.e. if is takes 75 fleet supply per SB, eventually the VR will get 10 SBs forcing a wider gap in fleet resources. Particularly when the VR is in the eco spot. Right now I am partial to adding a second upgrade to the phase stabilizer special that allows the SB to jump. It would hurt the eco sli

[quote who="CarighanMaconar" reply="98" id="3189423"]The problem with the jumping Orky is simple: As the player defending against it has to increase his fleet supply to be able to build a fleet of similar monetary value to the Orky, he will effectively spend more. This is even more problematic since it has a long-term impact - you cannot undo supply upgrades. So the problem really is that there exists no cost-effective way to destroy the orky

Ahhh, I was wondering what that was for but I thought I had checked that out already on a map made with map designer a while back when I first starting making maps trying to figure out what everything did. I must have misread it or something heh. Thanks! So for clarification, if I set it to "1", it will always be colonized/spawn "RandomMilitia using my template...assuming everything "works"

Reply to Issue with Militia on custom map... in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Well, after some playing around it looks like "PlanetOwnerIsMilitiaWithChance" doesn't mix well with "RandomMilitia". If I set the planet owner as Militia0/1/2/etc I get a random assortment of ships (altho in one test they bombed their own planet lol). If I use "NoPlanetOwnerWithChance" I get the random assortment with RandomMilitia (making sure they have a colony ship to quickly colonize the planet). Weird...

What changes does your mod include (which entity files are editted/added?) Also, you can try running the dev exe, exit game and you will have a new dev 1.03 mod folder. Put your mod in that and try to enable/apply it and you should get an error (maybe?). If you do this, recommend you copy your settings folder as the dev exe resets EVERYTHING.

Ok, Having an issue trying to make a "RandomMilitia" template for use on some of the planets on my map.

I agree totally. One of the issues is apparently there were to be no game engines changes in this patch that would break saved games so certain changes were a no go this time around. I think fine balance will come, but I do hope they hurry with it so they can start on Sins 2 already (And if they have already started, which is likely, divert more resources from Rebellion to it). I guess I am gonna have to go thru my edited version of your mod and check for anything that may n

Reply to Will there ever be... ... for SOASE? in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Here is my list, some(most?) of which I would obviously rather(have no other choice) see in Sins 2 rather than try to fit them into the current game/engine or whatnot - More flexible travel system available than phase lanes. Thinking maybe warp gates/engines available or an enhancement to current phase engines that allow phase jumps to any planet within a certain range. The Vasari would keep their phase stabilizer advantage allowing them to jump to any plane

Thanks for the info. Now back to my issue with the Kortul and its anti SC beams, I think I have a much easier solution and have tested it in0game. I changed the beamwidth from 30 to 18. At 18, the beams are approx the same size as the bombers when zoomed in and it looks better when considering the size of the ports they are being fired from..check below: At 18: <img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-VTA9FJxYAOE/T-werQr_IQI/AAAAAAAAAUo/n83bCXFb4f8/s800/2
