Please note that it only works for Entrenchment v1.05

This is a total conversion mod, so the TEC, Advent, and Vasari are no longer playable

The Colonials and Cylons are now playable races

Known Bugs:

  • Some ships do not have names or are improperly named
  • Colonials still glow occasionally

If you have any ideas for abilities, or want to report a bug, please post here. I will try to keep you up to date on progress.

v0.96 Changes

  • Entrenchment v1.05 compatability
  • Fixed String not found errors for the Galactica's colonize ability and the Worldstar's extra squadrons ability
  • Temporarily removed the custom static defense structures, so there will not be any more bug reports about the meshes reverting to the unmodded forms
  • The Cloud 9 is now correctly called the Cloud 9
  • New weapon sound effects for the Galactica+Mercury

Please, if you play this, report back here any balancing problems, particullarly in terms of research.

For the moment, the nuke uses the impact visuals from the Ogrov's torpedoes. It looks okay, but I would prefer a bigger 'splosion as well

 

Wait... you're kidding, right? The Ogrov explosions are HUGE;P   They already make it impossible to see most of the ship that gets hit.

Great Mod.

If noone has mentioned it before the cylon missle/beam turret has a glitch where it dosen't fire. The missles are traped in an invisable buble unitl they run out of fuel.

 

I like how the Cylons start with 4 cap ship slots open. I wish the cap ships were cheaper so I could have more basestars!

Ok, voting is now closed. 10 to 3 in favor of it staying a total conversion, so it stays a TC:cylon:

Reply #431 from Sins Forums Top
well i'm glad about this :P TC is way more fun vanilla races kinda bore me after i played some mods now.. :D
Reply #432 from Sins Forums Top

yeah i missed the vote but have also to say that stay focus on tc is much more important... so it will be perfect :)

Reply #433 from Sins Forums Top

so i played some games against some buddys of mine .. and of course they refused to play the cylons :D so i had to

i think its kinda balanced if u restrict u r self to caps only but still theres some kind of lag issue going on if u have about 200 fighter squads in your fleet :D maybe 20raiders/squad are a bit too much :D i'd suggest make the single raiders/vipers a bit stronger but not sooo many in the squads it really slows the game down after a while .. and they are killed in a single flakburst anyway.. :D

also the cylon side lacks a bit of enyoing the game mostly because there are no so cool sounds like for the galactica

also i think a cool idea for an ability for cylons would be something like "activate sleeper" where u get a cylon agent activated on the colonial cap for a while where u can see and watch what they are doing - maybe a special scouts ability

Just wanted to stop in and say that I'm a really huge fan of this mod.  Please do keep up the good work!

Don't worry, I will:thumbsup: I am very slowly working on a new version, with an ETA of not for quite a while:P

Is it maybe possible to use this epic video as intro?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aFQSU3mGbs

 

Reply #437 from Sins Forums Top

that would be aweseome but this video also has the "quiet" sound problem like the whole mod :D

 

little suggestion maybe change the resource names

like Crystal -> Tylium

metal could be left metal i think or u change it completly to "water" the second resource they searched in the series i believe besides Tylium ^^

and i still would recommend to take the carrier cruisers out of the mod :P since the Ai is spamming them to the max because of the hardcoded sins Ai..

and it ends up on a 4-6 player map with thousands of thousands fighters and they frakkin slow every system down to nearly unplayable :P

Reply #438 from Sins Forums Top

thanks for your work modders ;) i appreciate any updates on this mod! keep the good work!

Reply #439 from Sins Forums Top

There's your answer:P

Also, I am very slowly making progress on a new version, but it won't be for a while.

Reply #444 from Sins Forums Top

Keep it up! I'm very intrested to see what the next version will be like

Reply #445 from Sins Forums Top

Idon't know if you know but the beam defense platforms for the cylons ( that looked like they ve been modded to fire missiles) don't actualy fire or do any damage meaning the planets are  more or less defenseless. Also I think you should try to use the missile platforms from the vasari. They'd be better suited. other than that this mod is a dream come true. Well done can't wait to see what you've got coming

Nice video:thumbsup:

And since I'm posting, I might as well give everyone an update:P I plan to put out an update soon after 1.04 comes out that is compatible with 1.04, hopefully within a week after the patch comes out. I wasn't really expecting this patch, so the new version won't have everything I was planning on, but there will still be some interesting new stuff.

Reply #449 from Sins Forums Top

Kyogre, one of the biggest modding changes to 1.04 is that capital ships now derive their name from a list in the Player"X".entity file.  This means that it will be easier for you to assign custom names for capital ships, and it will also make it easier for 7DS to have custom capital names for all their races.

I was playing around with the voices, and turned up the volume on them, I can upload the files for you tomorrow so you can take a listen, and see if it helps any.
