Reply to Show off your Sins model (pick a page) in Sins Modding Sins Forums

@SuperZERO0 Trust me I'm no expert. But if you look at the nm for the Halcyon you will see where the depth is applied for this image. It was my understanding that sins uses the nm for depth and the cl for color. Additionally when you paint with depth in 3dcoat the lights and darks for raise and lower are exported into the normal map. The depth in the image I had above all came from the normal map. Corresponding depth in CapitalPsiCarrier-nm.dds: <img src="http://dl.dropbox.com

Reply to Testing changes made to Capital Ships in Strategy Sins Forums

[quote]This would fit with the other ships like the Halcyon and Revelation that buff different parts of the Advent fleet. Combined with the Bombardment research this would make a nice improvement to Advents bombarding capabilities. Could be done with guidance...[/quote] That would be fine too. I just think this ship would benefit from a passive cooldown for bombardment that synergizes with nearby ships.

[quote]I dont understand the changes to clairvoiance on a conceptual level... increase in bombing damage? [/quote] I get wanting Advent to have a better sieging option. Personally I would be for dropping clairvoyance all together and adding a passive abiltiy that synergizes with other ships currently bombarding near the Revelation (i.e. x% per level in either cooldown or damage or both to any ships near the Revelation). This would fit with the other ships like the Halcyon and Rapture

All the depth elements should end up in the normal map which can be converted to dds format for applying the depth in sins.

Reply to Manage Pacts Hardcoded? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Here is what I have so far. Although it still has the issue if a pact is made with the same alliance type you get the corresponding pact bonus whether it has been researched or not by your ally. I wish pacts weren't locked down to the three races as I really wanted to add on two new races with unique pacts. My other option is to go back to reusing the existing pacts which isn't nearly as fun. <img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5790092/Temp/pacts2.jpg " alt="" width="699" height

Reply to Adding new weapon types and other stuff in Sins Modding Sins Forums

[quote quoting="post"]I have a few questions. First, is it possible to add weapon types without replacing anything already in game? Second, can the "statCountType" be changed to allow for new structures or ship types? Also if anyone can explain how the pirate data in the .constants file works I'd appreciate it. Aside from that, does anyone know the hardcoded limits (assuming there are hardcoded limits- my only experience is with Medieval 2) i.e. max number of enti

Reply to Diplomacy or Entrenchment? (In terms of online multi-player) in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Hey Origin, I think I played with you yesterday. If you plan to purchase Diplomacy you will need to purchase Entrenchment (i.e. Diplomacy requires Entrenchment). The online community is slightly higher than Vanilla/Entrenchment although not by very much with all the sales for Vanilla. However, there are larger games in diplomacy 4v4 or 5v5 and they tend to start up regularly. I would go ahead and purchase Entrenchment until you save enough to add Diplomacy. The Entrenchment fe

Are you a troll? It sure sounds like it. By the way you would only be out 10 dollars if you had already purchased the original and entrenchment being as you said these worked fine. Unless you bought Trinity, then that would just make you incompetent to deliver this review.

Reply to [MOD] Alliance, hidden agenda's. (For "Diplomacy" 1.011) in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I'm going to try texturing the blue arcadia in 3d-coat too. One thing I've found so far is the automatic uv-mapping feature appears to create odd seams for some polygons in Sins. I had to manually map the LRF I created that purevenom is using to avoid that problem. I did however texture the model in 3d-coat which seemed to work really well. I want to try creating a high poly version of the lrf and burning a bump map to see how that turns out on the model. I'm still experimenting too, hopefull
