Reply to Barely ALL my mods doesn't work... Why? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

When in-game nothing is changed, it might be due to a wrong or missing manifest file in the mod folder (for Entrnenchment at least).

Maybe both vanilla Sins versions try to use the same 'Mods' folder. I have the problem that my version 1.15 doesn't even show any mods I place there :-(

The map must only be in the game's galaxy folder NOT under ...\Documents and Settings\...

Reply to Cannot strafe right or downward in Technical Sins Forums

There is an option to disable the 'strafe at screen border' under 'user interface'. In window and fullscreen mode it also works differently. But how that could be changed by just loading a different savegame, I have no idea, sorry.

Where can I change the SB limit for a gravity well?

Reply to Question in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Maybe some browser issue, I never saw such an error message.

Reply to no mod folder in Sins Modding Sins Forums

It not in the game folder but in C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\ (WinXP) For Vista it is similar, \USER\AppData\..., not exactly sure :-( The folder might be hidden in default setting so you might have to go to folder preferences in WinExplorer and enable 'show hidden folders' :-)

Hm, then I think the only option will be to translate everything manually? Irgendjemand von der deutschen Community hier? Ihr stellt doch immer ziemlich schnell ne german.string her. Wie macht ihr das? [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] Danke!

Wallpapers? Do you mean the screenshots in the download section? If you want to embed them into a forum post, just use the image URL (like https://www.sinsofasolarempire.com/images/screenshots/Entrenchment1_large.jpg or _small.jpg). If you use on as a desktop background, open it in your browser, right click and select 'use image as wallpaper/

Reply to [bug] Magnetic Cloud disables Vasari "Deploy Starbase" ability in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Hm, TEC and Advent can deploy starbases there but all abilities (also the hurt-ships-that-jump-away-thingy) are disabled. I guess it's a feature rather than a bug. Every race needs to have some disadvantages. Esp. Vasari who can move there starbases :-P

Reply to Question in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

There should be some basic text formatting option over the reply field. The 'tree' icon brings you to a picture menu where you can embedd an image-URL (so you have to upload it somewhere else).

Reply to Converting type file *.string in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Ah, OK. So you wanna update an existing (but binary) language file, right? Hm, you could try using the ConvertData_....exe from ForgeTools (https://stardock.cachefly.net/ForgeTools3.rar) and the SinsEditor/ConvertData GUI (look here in the modding forum). These tools are used to convert many of the game files binary text, maybe it also works with .string files. I'm no modder, so that's the best guess I have, sorry.

Mad Scientist and Distant Stars have lots of ne planets like Sins Plus. Both work with Entrenchment :-) If you follow the forum posts for a few days you will get a pretty good idea which mods are currently being developed.

Reply to Games and their expansions (vertical subgroup) in Fences WinCustomize Forums

[quote]Or, similarly, sub-fences that are part of the parent fence would be nice.[/quote] Just create one fence for each game+addons and put all these fences into one area of your desktop. There would be no 'Games' fence, OK, but sub fences would IMHO clutter the desktop up. Fences is supposed to clean it up and it does so perfectly the way it works now :-)

I agree!

Reply to Update to Fences to 0.96.037 does not show up in Impulse in Fences WinCustomize Forums

Did you enable beta/pre-release-versions in Impulse? There is an option for this behind the blue stardock logo in the top left corner. :-)

Reply to Entrenchment Install Issues in Stardock Games Stardock Forums

Sorry this didn't help. Have you tried uninstalling the WHOLE game? I recomend RevoUninstaller, since it checks if the 'native' uninstaller has left files or registry keys.

Reply to Converting type file *.string in Sins Modding Sins Forums

What exactly do you mean, sorry??? Yes, it's lots of text to translate, approx. 5000 sentences. Excluding of course the stuff like StringInfo ID "IDS_INFOCARD_BUFFVALUE_SPAWNRESOURCEEXTRACTORS" Only what's after Value " [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

Reply to Converting type file *.string in Sins Modding Sins Forums

.str's are nothing more than a text files. You can open the original English.str with notepad and edit it. I'm not sure how the game handles different language files, though. You are on the save side when you backup the original, and leave your translated version named "English.str" :-)

Good list, my support for all of those items :-)

Reply to Pinned Starbases in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

There currently is no option to NOT auto-pin starbases. It would be great if it was added in a future patch. Also: how about NOT showing mines in the empire tree at all. Or make them just use one field for all 150 mines instead of 15 with 10 mines each. I would really like to see some improvements for the empire tree :-) It could be very useful, but the lack of customization options now makes it annoying a times [e digicons]:\[/e]

Reply to change lead ships in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

In each .galaxy file is a line "isFirstCapitalShipIsFlagship" TRUE or FALSE, just open with a text editor, edit and save (as .galaxy! Sometimes .txt is auto-added, remove it manually) :-)

Reply to How to change install directory in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

In Impulse there is this blue button, top left corner, it will take you to preferences. In the left column is an entry "Folders" where you can change the install path of "My Desktop", "My Games" and "My Tools" :-)
