Ive been doing a little bit here and there with this mod myself. Not to usurp it. What i have been doing has been for my own personal use so far. Like cleaning up the relic models. Re-UV mapping them, and adding the proper team/stripe color textures directly from the original lif textures. I would show some screenshots but 1.04 broke all the mods.

One suggestion i should make is to NOT increase the size of the textures. Stretching a 256x256 res texture to 512x512 just distorts it, and makes things worse. Plus it adds to the memory taken up to load them which IMO is a waste. Leave them the original resolution. They are fine as they are. If you want higher res you will have to create your own textures.

I can offer you what i have done so far. I just have the kushan support frig, attack bomber and carrier done. Carrier still needs some work. I am having a hard time re-mapping that one. Lots of mesh errors, and texture gaps. Other ships including the mothership have similar mesh/texture errors. The mothership is in terrible shape (for use in sins). The average person prolly wont notice the mesh errors but i do

I am also importing some HW2 stuff, but i wont release them because i dont want any nice cease, and desist letters from relic I will post shots tho when i can.

Ya it is. I need to run out and get entrenchment asap!

AHHH, so does anyone else has that weird thing with the textures i have! It works fine, but the whole ship is painted into the color you choose at the start. I mean you can see the texture but it overgloes the team color! Could someone help me, or tell me whats wrong?

Thanks Chief, much better now! To good mod to be ruined like that!

pinball if you extract the mod to the mods-entrenchment v1.03 folder then run the mod updater on the mods-entrenchment v1.03 folder the resulting mod could run in 1.041, if it minidumps then you will also need to run the manifest maker on the mod in the mods-entrenchment v1.041 folder to add the 9 new entity files to the entity.manifest

The mod is broken, i tried to play it but the overview is messed up. i can't even build ships or command my ships. Plus sometimes when i start there are no motherships and other times i get 2. Any ideas on how to fix it?

You probably posted the solution alrighty, but I'm getting the minidump error messages along with many interface glitches such as most of the icons are missing and some interface graphics is messed up during gameplay when I start playing in-game.

I would be greatly appreciate any help.

the mod updater can update mods from earlier versions in the correct version folder(eg mods-entrenchment v1.03) to the current version WHILE copying the mod to the current version mod folder(eg mods-entrenchment v1.051), but it only adjusts the entity files and removes the 5 fx files from the mod that cause no planets,asteroids & ships issues.

ike-jager,

you downloaded the OLD version for sins 1.18/1.181 which I had left up for those that do not want to update to current

the current version is the BOTTOM set of links for sins 1.191+e+d at filefactory and filefront

harpo

here is the instructions for the mod updater FROM the text file included in the latest version(under test)

first all the files in this archive NEED to be in the same directory(folder)

second the program was designed for updating mods from sins 1.15 AND later to the current sins, also entrenchment 1.01 and

later to the current entrenchment, also for the diplomacy and rebellion expansions after their release(hopeful)

NOW the actual instructions


0. run sins, entrenchment AND diploamcy(if you have them) to create the mod folders

1. open the folder where you extracted all the files

2. run 'harpos_sins_mod_updater.exe'

3. in the folders window that is visible find the folder that contains all the mods you want to update AND double left mouse

click on the folder which should open the folder so that you can see the folders that contain the mods that you use

4. now click on the button labeled '1. set source to copy from' the button label should change to the path that contains the

mods that you want to update , and a new folder browser will become visible and will default to the latest version folder for

the sins/expansion

5. click on the 'copy and update the entity files' button

the mod updater will now go and copy all the files in the source mods folder to the destination folder and update all the

entity files with the changes from the version of the source folder to the current version

6. when you have updated the first expansion then you can click on the 'reset the settings' button and then start on step 3

7. when you have updated all of the mod from all of the expansions then you can click on '4. exit' to close the program

and If you want to update an OLD mod to the current sins/entrenchment/diplomacy and do NOT have a Mods-v#.### for a vanilla

mod( the #.### is the sins version that the mod WAS RELEASED FOR) or Mods Entrecnchment-v#.### or Mods diplomacy-v#.### in

you mods folder location, then create a folder with the name WITH the version of sins/entrenchment/diplomacy that the mod was

FOR,

then extract the mod into the folder for the expansion version the mod was released for,
 then go to step 1 above

That is because this mod is dead and out of date and the modder has left the game.

I am making a mod with a pile of ADD-on races and HW was going to be 1st. I have a load of Hiigaran ships in SoaSE now and the music and 2 gigs of wav files to sort thru for effects.

Any assets or help would be awesome.
