Solar empire Skins... in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I was playing around with creating some new skins for my mod and was wondering if anyone has created any skins for Advent or Vasari. I plan on complety redoing the textures, but wanted to get a quick feel for what files were necessary to change. Here is my quickie example.

I love the field and plan to teach it at university level after I retire. I would invite you to download Eclipse if you haven't already. It is a very good IDE for developing in Java or C++ for that matter. Currently I am specializing in Java, but it is an easy transition from C++. If you visit the <a h

[quote]Mines don't trigger on structures, so they won't trigger on an Orkulus. They are also phased out until triggered, so they can't be attacked by the orky.[/quote] This is only true for Psi homing mines. And the Psi homing mines will damage structures and starbases. TEC and Vas mines will trigger and damage structures and starbases. Personally, I think this is an oversight by the devs to not have Psi mines trigger on structures and starbases.

This mod seems to have captured the interested of a few people based on the dl count. It's appeal maybe because it's simplicity.

[quote]On a side note, if your interested I could make some variations to some of the cap models to make as the flagships, if you like. Like the Kol mod Ryat is referring to. Eventually PUREVENOM and myself, and anyone else if they want to help, are planning to make up a ship pack of Sins ships variations for the community to use. Perhaps even some SB and structure variations also. So it wouldn't be too much trouble to start with a capship variation for each race. I know SivCorp has made some

[quote]Thanks very much ZombieRus! I'm just glad to help! Unfortunately i have a massive lack of reliability, so i don't often offer to help produce things, to avoid letting people down. However, I'm happy to learn how to code sins if you can't find anyone else willing to help, I'm pretty competent at programming languages so it would take me(as a total guesstimate) about a week to learn enough to start working on a mod. Summer holidays at uni are VERY long and dull if you haven't got money o

[quote] I've noticed two "errors" that work fine in game: changing the damage type for a weapon to "AFFECTS_ONLY_HULL" and setting a passive weapon applied buff to "GAUSS" At first I was worried that this meant that the game wouldn't accept it, but it turned out fine[/quote] I thought this was fixed. I'll have to look at the validation rules again.

[quote who="TrooperScooper7" reply="24" id="2741594"]Also, "missing entity reference" errors aren't caught by your tool; towards the end I had to dig for them. Is there any tool to check manifest files for errors i.e. if there are any files missing from the entity? As a side note, how do you get pictures on posts? I tried using the "insert/edit image" button on the top of the written reply area, but I'm not clear on how it works. [/quote] The best way

[quote]This seems really cool. DLing now. [/quote] Thanks, I liked the idea of being forced to start with a random capital ship. It still has some room to grow and I'm thinking the starting stats could be bumped slightly, but the double increase per level and extra target banks makes any of them fairly tough.
