Babylon 5 mod effort for Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion

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"

Already is ;-)

I've carefully combined both AO's for this. most parts are from the new AO but some are from the old one to enhance depth. I hope it does your excellent texturing job justice.

its so hard to tell on these forums when a mod has been updated. I can see the original thread was made in 2009. But cannot see when it was modified.

Typically a good idea is upon a new version of the mod being released an 'updated on' date will be posted either in the OP or in the Thread title. I don't think we've had a new release in a little while. It will probably be noted somewhere when they do.

But seriously i think the new render does look better, thanks!

Last update was around December I think. Version 0.41 (it was just a patch to 0.40)

Next update will hopefully come in April (v0.42, full Version)

But you can always check http://b5-sotyr.origo.ethz.ch/blog for the devstatus
I will however (if I do not forget) post the releasedate next to the version in the OP next time.

Nope, no sarcasm. I really think you model and texture jobs are awesome. And I like the new AO better as well.

this mod crashes everytime I try to load it - which is a shame, since I really am dieing to try it out

Reply #2357 from Sins Forums Top

This mod isn't yet compatible with Diplomacy 1.2.  That could be why it crashes.

Yes, thanks SpardaSon21. The next version will be for Diplomacy 1.2.

 

PS.: I expect we will go for Rebellion once it is out, just for you to know to be prepared

That's fine with me. :-) P.S. I'm hoping to have some time this week or next to start taking a crack at the Centauri Corvan Scout.

That would really be nice! Now I need to make more Minbari ships and we should have most models done in the next half year

Moving to Rebellion will be great news when it comes to the EA Civil War.  One side gets Shadow tech and Omega X's, the other gets Minbari tech and Whitestars.

Centauri get ships that are auto-piloted with Shadow Technology for the bad guys! :-P

Reply #2364 from Sins Forums Top

Here's what i've done to the Centurion. I made it a little more violet than the liati and vorchan, mostly because the miniature i based it on was that way and because, as i said, i like the rag tag look and the fact that the fleet isn't entirely made of that same colored mass. (And besides the centauri shuttle is also more violet) |-)

I added some details again, because the miniature lacked them badly. I hope you like them. The lights on the front can be easily erased if necessary. The model looks very bright because i added a specular map on it.. Though i think i still need some practise with that one..

Anyways, any ideas or critic on this are appreciated.. :frogboy:

edit: And theres no ambient occlusion again, so with Tobi-Wahn's Treatment, it will look much better. I hope.

Reply #2365 from Sins Forums Top

:drool: Love it!

I like the lights on the front, lights always give a more finished and dynamic look. Also I like the violet you chose. I lve almost everything about the texture (the model is perfect), just one little nitpick (and that just a matter of taste) I'm not sure I like the stripes on the winglets, they make it look so '70 retro style (reminds me of window blinds), but as I said, that is just personal preference. Thanks for this wonderful contribution!

Do you mean the yellow stripes on the.. Side.. Pontoons... Or whatever they are.. Behind the big guns? The sports stripes? :grin:

No big deal, i'll color them with the background color ASAP.

 

edit:OH, Do you mean the up-down wings? I made them like they were on the miniature, so it is accurate but i can change them too, just say the word.

 

edit, edit: Wait a minute! There's no such stripes on the miniatures! I wonder what i've used as a reference...

I'll remove them anyways, Sorry, my bad!   :-"

Yep, that's what I meant :grin:

But don't remove them if YOU do like them. This is just a matter of personal taste. ( Though I think some more Egyptian curved lines or something like that might be good... No, forget that, I think it might look horrible - silly me :sheep: )

It might be that i was thinking of the covran, since it has those stripes.. Or the balvarin

Need video trailer for this mod!

TobiWahn,

Don't have list of researchable Narn ships... Making good progress on tech ideas. Ability vs researchable tech will be a task all by itself.

@Zvezdochets

Hi! Good to know you're still here. If you feel like it I'd love to have a trailer of sorts for the mod! So if you can do it (probably in HD 720p or so) I'd love to post it here and use it in the mod intro.

 

@Darvroth

I will give you a list of the narn ships come weekend (latest). If I do forget please remind me again! I've heard from Rodney that you two were doing lot's of great work together. Thanks joining our efforts and helping a great deal.
