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"

Ah sorry thought you were part of the modding team. So permission to share would be needed.

I havent done many tweaks, apart from cap limits and also added a colony ship and planet bomber to the shadows, so now can play them. Such beautiful models, from all races.

Guys im pulling my hair out here. Okay so I have a retail copy of Sins, I've got a digital copy of Entrenchment. I need Diplomacy 1.011 to run this mod correct? I know from past experience that updating on impulse is an arse. If I purchase a digital copy of Diplomacy is impulse going to patch me past 1.011 at this point thus meaning I can't play this mod (as rollbacks are a no no impulse for some reason). Whats the score?

Reply #1704 from Sins Forums Top

Yes, i think it will patch your version

Reply #1705 from Sins Forums Top

avalonhaze, the current diplomacy version IS 1.011, so go ahead AND buy the digital.

also within a day of a new version being released I release an updated mod updater, that can update all your installed mods for EACH of the expansions ie diplomacy, entrenchment & vanilla sins from previous versions.

also just to squash the rumors, I am NOT planing to abandon my utilities, until ironclad HAS abandoned sins, at which point I will package the entire VB6 source code for all of them and upload it an announce it in the threads & forum

Anyone else having problems with the minbari research wont let me research repair platforms and upgrades for certain ships like the scout, also the repair platforms on the space stations wont repair it says i need more research even though ive done all research. I know its pre-alpha but Ships and combat look cool cant wait for complete game.

I've been lurking to see the progress of this mod and I see there are things left to be done BUT! Very very nice so far, I got goosebumps when hearing the music too, will that be ingame aswell? Keep up the awsome work!!

Hi i've been playing the 0.35 version of this mod for a bit becasue i was having trouble with 0.4 due to the fact that i have entrenchment 1.051 I was wondering if i could get some help getting 0.4 running.  I even tried going as far as moving some of the files into the 0.35 version from the 0.4 ver hoping it would update some of the files. I notice there is no svn files in the 0.35 version. when i try to run the 0.4 version my entrenchment doesnt even start up just a black screen and nothing. I dont plan on buying diplomacy anytime soon so if i could get some input on how to get 0.4 going that would be very much appreciated.  So far what i see from 0.35 is pretty cool but as i dont have the latest version i dont want to give my input because many things are likely to have changed. Thanks for every ones hard work in this great upcoming mod.

0.4 won't ever work on Entrenchment because it is for Diplomacy.

Reply #1713 from Sins Forums Top

Simply amazing mod. Huge fan of B5, for me no other sci fi show or movie can compare to the artistic ships and variety used in B5. Keep up the excellent work, I really hope you guys see this mod through to the end, I absolutely cannot wait to play this when everything is finished. Couple of quick questions: How do you get the jump gates to work and for Capital ships to use their own jump ship abilities, and is there any way you guys could add even the untextured ships, I would love to have even untextured ones vs vanilla ships thats the only qualm I have atm. Again fantastic job guys, keep up the hard work, eagerly await more.

. wait so your saying if you want to play this mod you have to buy diplomacy? Why not make it function for each individually for those who don't have all the expansions? I mean i am sure features are different for each expansion, but not everyone has all the expansions. While i do enjoy sins i dont always want all their expansions.

Reply #1715 from Sins Forums Top

doomser1,

the main differences between entrenchment & diplomacy (in the entity files is diplomacy has a diplomacy research area in the playerRACE.entitys and the ships have one extra line in them that entrenchment ships do not), the other files appear similar, although the pirates did get a few extra files for the pirate research.

Jumpgate ability for capital ships not worked, because we have many problem. I try decide this problem but without results. About untextured ships: i responce mostly for Earth alliance fleet. If you want Narn ships - all question to koobalt.

New version "Olympus" corvette [past version - changed model from celestia, i use she as pattern for my].

Reply #1720 from Sins Forums Top

Micro-addon "Olympus" for MOD. Without texture, of course, because i am not a SteinerX:'(  [but use one-colour grey texyure]. Please carry files from archive to 0.40 MOD folders [fron mesh - to mesh in game and all too].

P.S: AND PLEASE, SAVE ORIGINAL FILE Frigate_EA_Olympus IN OTHER PLACE!

Have you guys considered using the Icarus style ship as a scout as that was its role. Instead of using the oracle class?

Reply #1723 from Sins Forums Top

hey i have been playing the vorlons and they look really good the ships that are skinned, But i cant seem to figure out how to get the better ships becasue there is no way to colonise? How come there is no basic colony ship?

Reply #1724 from Sins Forums Top

because they are still a work in progress that's why

yes this is obvious and need not be said what i was confused about is why remove a ship that facilitates the game being played. I mean i can understand why stuff isn't finished, and models not complete. But to remove a normal function that makes a race playable. I would think it takes time to remove ships rather than just leave them there as they were. I love comments like this very constructive.
