Release 0.54.1 Full Download for Rebellion 1.95+
& Patch 0.54.2

Sins Of The Younger Races Remastered

NEW - Balvarin Carrier and Minor Factions fix!

 

 

Installation Guide:

  1. Download the latest Sins Remastered mod from here:
    https://www.moddb.com/mods/sinsre
  2. Extract the archive into a 'SinsRemastered' folder in your 'C:\Users\%username%\Documents\My Games\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion\Mods-Rebellion v1.85' folder.
  3. Download the latest Babylon 5 Sins of the Younger Races mod from here:
    https://www.moddb.com/mods/sins-of-the-younger-races
  4. Extract the archive into your root 'Mods-Rebellion v1.85' folder instead of a new mod folder as the archive ALREADY contains a premade 'SotyrRemastered' folder inside of it (so if you're not careful you'll end up with a mod folder inside of a mod folder and it won't work lol).
  5. Start Sins and go to 'Options', then 'Mods', and you should see the mods you've installed.
  6. Enable 'SotyrRemastered' and then enable 'SinsRemastered' too. Make sure that the load order is SotyrRemastered first/top and then SinsRemastered second/bottom.
  7. Restart Sins and you should be good to go!

Sometimes the in-game mod loader can be a bit funky so if you can't see the mods you've installed or something isn't working then enabling the mods via the 'EnabledMods.txt' file in your 'Mods-Rebellion v1.85' folder where you installed the mods to is the other alternative. It should look like this to work:

TXT2
SinsArchiveVersion 194
Version 0
enabledModNameCount 2
enabledModName "SotyrRemastered"
enabledModName "SinsRemastered-v0.95b"

It is, but our current development team is very small (Darvroth and me, with help from NewHorizons), so things takes time. My Day2Day job is keeping me very busy at the moment as well, and my preparations for vacation (come September). I then have to do a database for a friend of mine (a gift) as well, so that limits my time for the mod at the moment. But We are still developing it. The difference is that I do mostly no modelling/textureing right now, but correct issues and bugs found by my colleagues.

@Darvroth

Is it just me or is BitBucket IssueTracker now completely botched?

Reply #3310 from Sins Forums Top

Yes, Master ticket 3 had 10 issues not 8 and I now need to figure out what those other issues were... It might be a size limitation per entry issue...  

Reply #3311 from Sins Forums Top

TobiWahn,

Been thinking, PlanetModule_race_Orbital_Dockyard is an area ship repair as is the starbase ability. I propose that the PlanetModule ability be adjusted so it repairs only a few ships at a time at a higher repair rate and the starbase module remain a slower area repair. It would go better that planet docks have limited capacity but full facilities (quick repair) while the starbases have a lot of capcity but limited capability (slower repair) and would add more of a calculus to player options for repair. Thoughts?

I've changed Triluminary, from the initial proposal, to give a slight growth rate penalty to reflect the "Fewer Minbari being born into each generation". (Lennier)

A +2 relationship bonus seems to be large enough, +3 maybe over the top - you could end up with a Narn/Centauri alliance. :O

Infocard text:-

Triluminary

Relationship bonus:             2.00

Growth rate increase:           -5%

Culture spread rate increase: 20%

ISN Broadcast Station

 

An ancient genetic profiler that can

recognize and reorganize DNA

sequences from different species. This

sacred artifact is the foundation of the

Minbari belief of the sharing of souls

between sentient races.

NewHorizons,

Don't fear mixed results. Feel free to give a bigger pop growth penalty, there are several techs that increase it, the penalty for the artifact would merely reset the controlling faction to closer to starting values.

 

TobiWahn,

Following tickets need review for closure: EA Hyperion, EA Poseidon, Shadow Ancient BattleCrab and Minbari Stealth Ability.

TobiWahn,

To date all abilities uploaded have been working but require modification to conform to the master string and entity files. Do you prefer to continue making these modifications or would you rather receive files with those modifications made?

There's not that many techs affect growth rate, the Centauri have the most**, but they're a mix of +ve & -ve values (upto -+20%).

Most races have one or two techs that give them a +5% or +10% increase, so I might increase Triluminary's rate to (at most) -20%.

** There's a duplicated entity file ResearchSubject_Centauri_Drak_Intrigue.entity & ResearchSubject_Centauri_Drakh_Intrigue.entity - the former is not referenced in the manifest but is referenced by ResearchSubject_Centauri_Years_Of_Isulation.entity which is also unreferenced. Looks like those two entity files could be removed.

I like that! Please make a ticket. Thanks

To be honest better with the modifications already made, but using the Syntax "Ability_Race_xxx". Buffs just need to begin with "Buff", not other thing required for them.

This should already be corrected.

There is an issue with the constructor frigate. Ability spot 2 and 3 while blank on the .entity file display push buttons for building civilian and military planetary modules. I'll play with it some more but abilities in spot 2 or 3 don't seem to work. Uploaded the modified repair module and ability files but don't adopt till the constructor issue is also resolved or there will be no repair mechanism for planetary modules. If all else fails that can be automated with a passive restoration rate as it could be easily presumed the planet facilities would be capable of repairing what had been built by the planet. More to follow.

Hi Guys,

 

As an avid B5 fan I wish you all the luck in getting this mod finished as I cant wait to play it.

It was such a shame that B5 Simulator a few years ago got cancelled, oh well.

 

All the best.

TobiWahn,

When you resolved ticket 3 did that include the Nuklear mine issue? The ticket didn't specify.

Reply #3323 from Sins Forums Top

I hope I'm not being too much of a disruption when I say, the the downloads for the full mod aren't working. I've tried both the links several times and neither of them work.

admiralrevan did you try the full download from gamefront? (the eth.cz link is also dead for me, BUT the gamefront link works for me

Reply #3325 from Sins Forums Top

I tried the gamfront link too, and it doesn't want to work either unfortunately. After the download counts down, the page says "This webpage is not found" with an error at the bottom saying it couldn't find the file/directory. Sorry to be such a pain.
