Modding harder with Beta 3 Entrenchment

February 21, 2009 12:44:44 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

It seems that modding has been taken to a new level for the new beta 3. With both 1.14 and Entrenchment in the same directory there is a new Entrechment folder that has entrenchment game files.. Now I just found out that Entrenchment is using both 1.14 texture, window directory files ect including its own.. Can the Developers simplify this to make complete seperate directories with no directories being shared!! Its annoying!!

would seem so, its rather anoying to be honest since all game data is split directly between the two folders and if its not in the right place it does not get read. (or so it would seem)

  No, no change.  Well, it was a good idea!    Worth a try, but we may have to wait for the devs to clarify this, or if its not supposed to be that way yet, then to fix it. But i think Blair said its a completely changed engine now, with all the changes since the beta's started, so they probably have their hands pretty full just getting it all to mesh together.

Anyway, thank you for the idea,

didn't work. i tried

Mods\SoA 2.0.03d\Entrenchment

Mods\SoA 2.0.03d\Entrenchment\SoA 2.0.03d

i tired to mimic the game folder and put in the manifest files. Made new a new player file for 1 of my races. updated the GalaxyScenerioDef file for 1 race, and only added 1 ship for that race, it just doesn';t find it at all

I also tried:

1. Mods\[Mod Name]

2. Mods\[Mod Name]\Entrenchment

3. Mods\[Mod Name]\Entrenchment\[Mod Name]

 

only in the first try at least my strings work, all other changes do not appear (eg. hud textures)
