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"

Nice video, but the ship definately could not be a frigate. A Capital ship makes more sense, however if it wasn't made into a cap ship, than heavy cruiser at the very least. Since original sins heavy cruisers were strong vs cap ships. Whitestars can take out Omega's pretty easily, but those forward weapons can do some hard damage on one, like in the episode where sheridan first initiates the EA civil war. But what you guys decide is all good with me!! I just appreciate all the work you guys put in!

Another thought if youwanted squadrons of whitestars and as capital ships is just up the quantity of caps you can build. so instead of 16 just change the files to read like 500 or somthing. Just a thought.

Reply #1854 from Sins Forums Top

If I recall, whitestars were capital intensive, making individual ships expensive in terms of resources and production time would be a good offset for excellent performace characteristics. Also a Heavy cruiser role would seem to fit the Whitestar class well. Numbers can be produced and gathered into a fleet but at a cost in absolute numbers of ships, and perhaps lost opportunity costs until those ships are ready.

Hopeless , poor Narns

If "thirdspace" had 5-10 capships battle has ended sooner. In battle took part one hundred TSA fighter vs. ~70 frigates and one T'loth capship [survive].

Like this monster http://efni.org/TSA_Warship.htm :star: [star - because these alien very similiar on Lovecraft "ancient gods"]

P.S: model TSA gunboat "3Alpha" have 2.1k tri.

Battle with TSA fighters and ISA fleet.

Hello...when do you think you could give us the Hyperion Cruiser or the Warlock ? My fleet of Omega Destroyers just doesn't feel right without these 2 ships...

Reply #1859 from Sins Forums Top

OK, I downloaded the latest version. Extracted it into my diplomacy mod folder. Enabled mods in the diplomacy version. Then nothing happens. Im new to this so pardon the noob question, but I have been a b5 freak since the series was on and still have B5 wars mini's sitting on my desk.. Any help is appreciated.

Reply #1860 from Sins Forums Top

@radu1
Hyperion is high on my list as well. It's such an iconic ship.

@fedex818
Well, how about starting a new game, choosing a B5 Race and try it out. This is still a pre-alpha, so don't expect a polished game. We've got some models in it and all ship stats are there in a first (unbalanced) version.

 

Reply #1861 from Sins Forums Top

Tobi I dont think you understand, when I start the game I dont have an option to choose another race but tec, vas, advent....

 

Is there an EXE or something that I have to use? Im not very computer literate so any help is appreciated

Reply #1862 from Sins Forums Top

you have to click on "aply changes" ^^

than wait a few seconds and you will hear B5 sounds

Reply #1863 from Sins Forums Top

Melik I did dthat as well... Applied the mods... and it freezes for 10 seconds or so, then no change with the game

 

Reply #1864 from Sins Forums Top

Is it possible im not extracting it correctly? I just click drag all the files in the mod package and extract it to the diplomacy mods

Reply #1865 from Sins Forums Top

The path should something look like (I'm not sure exact name of the mod so I will use Babylon5 for example)

C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Diplomacy v1.011\Babylon5\Mod Files and Folders

then you should see the name of the folder inside ...\Mods-Diplomacy v1.011\ in the mod list in game. My example would show Babylon5 in the list.

You need to select the folder and drag that in the mod folder, not all the separate files.

Thanks myfist0

 

just drag the b5-sotyr mod folder into the diplomacy mod folder or create a babylon 5 mod folder and drag the contents of the archive into it.

Reply #1867 from Sins Forums Top

Thanks for the help guys... Ive done this, once i do it , I extract within the mod folder. Then wheni go to the mod section in game it has me enable all the different folders... is this correct? seems odd.

Reply #1868 from Sins Forums Top

got it working, trying it now... thanks for the help.. Ill keep you posted guys on what I think!

Long way off. What should be included I cannot say, as I'm doing many thing right now. As SteinerX has little time at the moment, we have no dedicated texturer. I'm redoing some old models ( see Nial ) as I have learned lots of things since this project started. But the next release will take a while. It will hopefully include all Vorlon models ( almost ) as Fileosoft ( Thoumsin ) has given me most of the models and textures. Still missing some though ( fighter, destroyer, transport ), but I haven't heard from him in a while. Koobalt is doing the rest of the Narn models ( has done almost all of them by now ) but he is no texturer, so we really lack someone doing the textures for a lot of ships. Also I have to take a look at all UV's of the models made to make the AO compatible or confirm if they already are. So progress is slow for now, sorry for that.

Well, I really hate the slow progress, but I understand it.  I really appreciate you taking the time and responding with detail ( usually people don't do that ).  Thanks, and I wish you all success! 5*

And now, you heard from me :p

I am simply finishing a bunch of models for various mods... last week, it was one for the TCA... now, the UNSC Phoenix for the Halo mod ( model was done 1/2 year ago but never finished )... next is the Viper mk2 for the BSG mod ( 1/3 textured )... the Vorlon planet killer is in the list too... keep the biggest piece ( Empire Starbase ) for the end...

Only once i have finished these various work, i will begin make new models... one by one and not 10 in the same time that before... hmmm, about unfinished models, i just remember now that i have a tanker, a transport, Isphar sphere, B5 station, and a few other that i need to finish for you before i begin the other Vorlon models...

Haha :grin: , you've got lots of things still lying around. Thanks for responding. I know you work for so many projects I'm embarrassed I can hardly keep up with this one.  :blush:

 

btw, how was the Cinema4D course? Have you already finished it?

Reply #1875 from Sins Forums Top

Sounds interesting ( and well paid :erk: ). I wish you good luck with that ( and maybe, just maybe you can finish the B5 model before 2011 :') )

 

Thanks alot.
