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.

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.

Go ahead. I've been meaning to do that myself, but if someone else wants to do that for me, that's awesome:P

Oh no! I just downloaded this and went to play when it hit me with a mini-dump - it isn't compatible with 1.04?!

Any idea on when an updated version will be released?

I'll get those files to you soon, the only time I get to logon is at my inlaws, but I'll have the files either later today or tomorrow.

Again the usual question "WHEN"... and the reply is "ASK STARDOCK"...

They have promise release the developer.exe in the same time that 1.04... promise no keep... they have promise to release it in the same time that the hotfix planned two days ago... no hotfix and no dev.exe...

Modders cannot upgrade mod in a easy and normal way without their tools... once tools are released, some delay are needed, related to the complexity and the size of the mod... and first, we need to find what break the mod ( it is where the dev.exe is welcome )...

So, if you wish play some mod, forget the upgrade for now... you have already upgrade, use your backup... no backup, complain to Stardock... i am really tired to of people asking "when" when we have no control about it...

Alrite, no need to get stroppy.

I only bought Entrenchment yesterday, so I don't have any backups (it came pre-patched). I noticed that the patch ended up breaking more thigns than it fixed. Still, here's to the hotfix :)

Actually, that has nothing to do with it:P I have been way too busy this week to get anything done. And I'm waiting for Harpo to update his updater, because that would make it a lot easier. So I can't give an exact time, but hopefully within a couple days of Harpo releasing his new version.

I am actually testing the mod updater with entrenchment 1.04 and most of the mods, but I have found that the MANIFESTS also need to be re-built as there are new entity files in entrenchment to do with the colonise abilitys & extractor creation, and mindumps happen when the manifests are not updated for EACH of the mods. there is three possible choices that I have outlined in the mod updater thread, a quick, a dirty, and a slow. if it was not for rl and the stringer, I would be tempted to create a modders version of the mod updater with FAST patchday updating based upon the current mod updater, and a later version that can also update the manifests of the installed mods for the players.

I need to know if there is a way to make this compatible with entrenchment 1.04.  Or somewhere to find the 1.03 version.  Would love to play this, and only recently found it.  The video looks phenominal, and it looks like a lot of hard work went into this mod.  I'm glad you guys decided to make it.  Any help you could suggest would be greatly appriciated.

Just put into google search, 'Entrenchment v1.03'.  Should come up with a couple of sites that you can download that specefic version from.

You're out of luck there, sorry. Once you've updated, you can't go back unless you made a copy of your 1.03 version before you updated. If you really wanted to, you could go change all the files in the mod to make it work with 1.04, but it would be a lot easier for you (and me) if you wait for Harpo to release his updater.

@Harpo: I would suggest you start with the quick, so that myself and other modders can quickly get new, compatable versions out, although how you do it is completely up to you.

Sweet. That just makes me want to play it even more!

Sorry I've been away for a while. My laptop, which I do all my modding on, decided to die on me on Monday, and it doesn't look like it will be fixed for a while. Fortuneately, I was able to back up my data, including the mod and the work I've done on it since the last release, but it is currently residing on an external hard-drive. Plus I have to reinstall Sins+Entrenchment, and make sure it works with the new hotfix, so don't expect an update for a while:'(

If you want to use Harpo's updater to make a 1.04 compatable version (or whatever the hotfix is) and post it, go ahead. But I ask that you don't make any changes to it that aren't completely necissary to make it work with the latest version of Entrenchment. If you want to make other changes to your personal version, I have no problem with that, but please do not make that available to other people.

Unfortunatly, it's looking like I won't have my modding computer for at least another week or so. I can still check the forums from time to time on other computers, but no modding can happen:'(

No worries, I have my own personal mod if I want to fiddle with ships and their stats. It's called Masters of sci fi. of course it's not for distribution since people would probably get mad

Reply #467 Top

Aww the way the video is I would have loved to download and try it and i wouldnt get mad. I like the idea of a multi sci fi race battle was hoping one would come out eventually. O well such is the way of life.

where can i find the bsg map pack i found it on mddb and i tried to download it it didn't do anything so if u can please link the download that will help alot

I'm mainly worried about the guys who made the models. If u could gt them to ok it I guess i could email it 2 u, but it has every ship switched to different ships, so it isnt a small file.

Ok, update on the status of my laptop. I don't know for sure just yet, but it's looking like the motherboard is fried. All I can say is "frack"X( #:(

poor kyogre, a fried laptop.

wish you the best of luck in getting a replacement

Well at least the HD isn't fried... that'd be a worst case cause then you'd have lost all the stuff on it... if it's the motherboard it just needs to be replaced and your up and running again

Well, oddly enough I can start in in safe mode, but not normally. So I was able to copy all my stuff (mod included) to an external HD. Then I restored it back to factory conditions, but I still couldn't start it normally. But the last time I checked, replacing a motherboard on a laptop isn't easy (or cheap) assuming that is the problem.

Thanks. All I can say for sure is that I won't be buying HP in the future. If the problem is what I think it is, then it is their fault for the fried laptop:typo:   (and 2 months out of warrenty, too. Coincidence? I doubt it#:( )

Reply #475 Top

oh geez... I have a HP laptop too... somehow the OS system got booted from it... from unexplained reasons... either that... the motherboard got fried or the HD died... I need to get warrenty back on it to find out which is what lol

the thing when I try to start it goes into a continunally reboot phase, start and then shut off and then start again, also when I check for the OS is says it isn't present
