Battlestar Galactica - Sins of the 13th Tribe v0.96 Released 2/13/10

A mod for Entrenchment v1.05

This is the official thread for the Sins of the 13th Tribe mod.

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.

So you're saying roughly a month until release? AWESOME. Cannot wait!

I'm not promising anything:P

Will there be any lightening up of the Galactica model?

Yes.

The colonials have a cruiser that fill your needs, it looks exactly like the anti strikecraft frigate, but, its a beast and can handle the base stars.

This. The Berzerk is already in-game and fills a role similar to the Gamma Basestar. Still, expect some new things when the update comes out:P

The Colonials have the Galactica and Pegasus types of battlestars buildable as capitals, so I don't know if you can get any more "decent" than that.



Colonials  should have more cap ships than just 2! The new series shows old school cylons and base ships so it should also show OLD school colonial ships like the Nova class and others. Yea they might not be as powerfull but they work as cannon fodder   + is not the Valkrie a battlestar? or is it a heavy cruiser these days?

What is the most up to date download for the mod ? The top link?

If I had a model of any of the old school battlestars, they'd go in. Yes, the Valkyrie is a Battlestar.

The link above is the most up-to-date, yes, but check your PM's in a couple minutes.

Kyorgre12 I am truly looking forward to seeing the next version of this mod it's pure genius and fun to play.

Kyorgre12, you and your team have done an awesome job with this mod.

I'm not sure if these things have been mentioned because i got lazy and couldn't be bothered combing through the entire thread.

I was wondering if you were planning on incorporating the stealth ship built on Galactica into the game, i think it would work well with an anti-phase jump ability considering it took out ressurection's jump drive.

Also i was reading through the specs on the Pegasus Battlestar on another site and it mentioned that it had electronic countermeasure (ECM) generators to ward of missles. Could this be incorprated somehow with a minimal sheild that could be boosted with an ability?

Anyhow you guys are awesome

Hello,I downloaded this mod a few days ago and am enjoying it immensely, however it keeps crashing on me.  It doesn't matter what is happening in the game it will just crash to desktop with a 'sins of a solar empire has stopped working' message from windows.

I am running Entrenchment v 1.051 as opposed to 1.05, which may be the cause of my problems, i've noticed that there is a sins 1.05 folder where mods go but if i put the file into there it doesnt appear in the list of mods

here are my system specs

Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
Nvidia GTS 250
Core 2 duo 2.66 GHz (E6750)
4GB RAM

I have no problems running stock sins of a solar empire entrenchment & diplomacy, or the Stargate Invasion mod for entrenchment.

Also sometimes models are textured entirely with the same colour as the player (blue player with all blue battlestar) and other times they are textured properly, also happens to sins default stuff like trade ports.

Edit: here is the crash report from windows 7 (if it helps)

Actually, it could just be a passive ability with a decently long range that affects the range and to-hit chances of nearby enemies.

Ok update, i've been playing in dev mode and not been getting any crashes, I have however been getting this message:

 

Invalid Mesh Point Data String Found by IWeapon (Weapon Index Out of Bounds)

Mesh = C:\Users\David\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Entrenchment v1.051\Sot13T v0.96\Mesh\asklepius.mesh
MeshPointString = 'Weapon-0'
Parsed Weapon Index = 0
Max Weapon Index = -1

 

EDIT 2

Ended up reinstalling Sins from scratch (I have trinity so it wasn't too painful) after trying to play LAN with my brother.The game kept saying that some meshes weren't the same on both machines.  Been playing for a while now with no problems :D

The BSG mod for Star Wars Empire at War: Forces of Corruption has the Galactica listed as a Columbia class. In the version I have it lists them as Galactica-class I'm not sure if you have changed it but I get seriously get annoyed when I hover over it on EaWFoC its says Columbia-class and when I play SoaSE it says Galactica-class.

Take it up with them, not me. The Battlestar Wiki lists it as a Galactica Type Battlestar and that's what I'm going with. If they want to go with Columbia that's up to them, but I'm certianly not changing it just because that's what they're using. I also direct you to this quote from the Wiki page about the Columbia:

Many fans believe Galactica to be a Columbia class battlestar. However, this is not supported by official sources, in neither the Original nor the Re-imagined Series. For the battlestar type Galactica belongs to, see Galactica class battlestar.

That would be giving it away, wouldn't it?:P Actually I'm still waiting on the texture to (in my opinion) the coolest new thing you will see. When I start posting pics, you'll know that the new release isn't too far away (barring unforseen difficulties, of course:P ).

Hey, you're alive. Just kidding :P

Hope things have been going well with real life.

Was wondering if you could use some help with the mod in anyway. I can do some cool stuff with creating main view and info card icons with the right files in hand. Not sure what your plans are on that. Shoot me a PM if your interested and I can tell you what I need.

Also, I'm pretty sure I know how to fix "A point(3069) was found more than once in triangle" if your interested. I get this occasionally with my models and my XSI solution might work for you too.

Edit - If you want you can shoot me a PM on DMG and we can talk there or in one of you threads.

Yes, I have played it, and yes, they have some pretty awesome stuff. Sadly, HW2 models are hard to get into the right format for Sins.

Blame that on the fact that reliable scale references online for the relative sizes of the all the BSG ships:P

Just curious when the next release will be?

Still waiting on two things:'( At this point I'm starting to consider just releasing without them, but I'd really like to get them in. I'll give it a couple more weeks, see if anything happens.
