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.

What gives you the right to talk to Kyogre like that?  I'd like to see you try and make a BSG mod for Diplomacy if you are going to talk that way to him.

I agree we would all love it if the new version of sins came out today but it hardly seems fair to criticise someone who is taking no payment for this project and is simply doing out of a love for the source material. If Kyogre 12 wants to wait until the mod is ready and he is happy then I completely respect that and will just check this forum every day until the release occurs.

If you have any experience with modding (especially with a full conversion mod like this), it takes a great deal of time and energy to do the work, and most of it is very very boring and tedious. You loose energy and enthusiasm to keep going very quickly, what is rewarding is when you can see your changes in game, but these are far and few between, as there is always 1 more file you have to create, 1 more line of code to edit etc etc Creating a mod is a lot of work, creating a full BSG conversion mod is even more, no one should expect updates on a regualr basis, they come when they come and be happy with what you have :)

Fully support Kyogre, you are doing an awsome job and big thank you's to ever else has helped this project along!

Keep up the good work Kyogre12!

Any possibility that we could see some more screen shots?? :)

No it's not dead, Kyogre12 is waiting for the last patch for diplomacy to proceed. 

Reply #1357 Top

The last patch hit a couple weeks ago. He's either still waiting for a file from another dude helping him out, or he's been busy to the point of being unable to release lately.

 

I'm hoping he releases it soon though...

I'm waiting for the Valkyrie.

Kyogre if you're just waiting for the valkyrie does that mean that you have the updated mk II viper? Or have you given up on that? Also I seem to recall mention of a new faction that you and Koobalt were working on as well as a texture for the Hades Baseship and a new Valkyrie like cruiser, will they be in the new mod? Regardless a new valkryie alone is enough to get me excited and could we please have a couple of screenshots to tide us over?

John! don't mention stuff like that! It might take longer to release! Just kidding :)

I really can't wait for this new version to come out! It will be sooo cool!

Well about the 3 faction, because of lack of my time, and lack of good design i stop working on that.

And the patch really go out, i though it's still in beta testing.

That's fair enough. It always seemed like something of a stretch to try and crowbar in a new faction with absolutely no connection to the RDM series. What about the other stuff? Not to be a pain, just curious.

Yup. Been in Version 1.2 for awhile now. That's the final patch for Diplomacy. I don't believe they have plans for any patches for Vanilla or Entrenchment.

 

Can't wait for Rebellion... maybe then the AI will make Jupiters and Boomers  }:)

Can someone tell me why the AI won't do this? The AI researches other ships and structures, and then subsequently builds them... why are capital ships any different? There must be a way to make it build them....

I think it's the massive cost of the upgrades, like superweapons, the AI just doesnt save up enough to build them. I think that was established awhile ago by someone trying to figure out why they never build superweapons, but i could be mistaken.

 

Maybe its just that the Capital ship isn't along the lines of the others in terms of roletype and such, so it ignores it's existence.

Yeah... but sometimes I've seen AI players that have a massive surplus of credits, crystal etc... It's a shame because it takes away some of the realism of the AI players....

Strange thing is, i've asked stardock this same question - they still didn't give me any explanation as to why the AI wont do it, and they also said that making any changes to this (building superweapons, researching and building capital ships etc) is not something that they will look at now or in the near future...

I'm waiting for the Valkyrie.

Who's doing the Valkyrie?

Any updates Kyogre? haven't heard from you since 1st April...

Reply #1372 Top

I don't have any updates. Still waiting for the Valkyrie. Even if I had it right this second, I have finals coming up soon, so I have other things to work on. I know it may not seem like it, but I check these forums daily, I just don't always reply (by which I mean almost never:P ). Rest assured, when I have an update I will post here.

Also, I've received a couple of PMs about updates. I appreciate that those of you who have sent them care so much about the mod. Really, I do:) . But sending me PMs won't really do anything. Again, I appreciate it, but it isn't necessary.

Megaupload is completely screwing me over.... I want this mod so bad but it keeps stopping at 4% could you upload this mod to another site that isn't trying to force me to pay?

Reply #1374 Top

same thing is happening to me. i've even tried several different computers and still the download fails. i'm watching the new series right now and i really want to play this mod!

Reply #1375 Top

Great now its not letting me download at all, since i tried re-downloading so many times it says I've reached my download limit. :(

Isn't there any other site you can upload this too like Filefront?
