[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="3" id="2546866"]The files in the forge tools have long been out of date. You'll have to copy the game files in diplomacy (if the files Ryat named are in the diplomacy folder, if not they will be in the regular Sins gameinfo folder) and convert them yourself. I recommend getting a GUI converter like Harpo's tool, its great if you are like most people and don't like messing with DOS windows.[/quote] Thank you sooooo much!!! lol had harpos old

Reply to Confused in Sins Modding Sins Forums

im useing the files that came with forge/entrenchment. i did try converting them with the diplomecy converter but it seems like it doesnt do any thing,a DOS box comes up real quick and closes. lol probally doing it wrong :( Didnt know it did a check for multi,well i wouldnt cheat in multi anyway even if there wasnt a check. Dont want to get banned.

Confused in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Hi im trying to mod some files like for example give the research buildings more armor etc. But every time i try and i go to Diplomacy the game crashes :( was alot easier when it was just Entrenchment. Also how do i increase the amount of Logistics and fleet crews i get thru research? (yea i know its cheating but oh well) These mods im trying to do are for single player so no worries on me cheating in Multi,i dont believe in it. Please help.

Reply to Petition for Single Player Campaigns! in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

I have to sign this petition also,when i first got this game about a year ago i was disapointed to find there wasnt a campain :SNIFF!: . The game over all is ok but i havent played SINS in a long while cause of no campain,it got boring after a while. There is a story/history for each race but no campain to play thru,i really wish there was a campain. :SNIFF!: i am glad to hear that they are working on some campains :) .

Hi i was going to make my own post about the turrets too,but i found this. I have to agree the TEC turrets do seem kinda useless,ive had a fleet of pirates come in and ignore the 6 turrets around my Trade Station and some would break off go for my planet and the rest after my Trade Station,its like they dont consider them a threat :( . My crappy little frig's do more dmg than the useless turrets. I mean turrets are suppose to defend not act like pea shooters lol. yes i

Reply to Save game editing in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Hi i did what ya said to do with the Forge Map Editor,i saved it then i went to go play and as soon as it was done loading it said all Empires were defeated and gave me a choice to either quit or continue playing. :( Hmm something got messed up. Glad i backed up first hehe. Could it be that i used the ingame editor to make the map? plus i made it before the new patch.

Hi i tried adding a little more Crystal but for some reason anything that is edited in the savegame file it dont take hold :( im guessing the bits need to be changed also? Yea i know its cheating but mining crystal takes forever even with crystal research,lol i have tons of metal though.

No Campain? plus some questions. in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Hi all im new. I was wondering why there isnt any Campain/Story? I kinda was expecting something like that for this game.The game is pretty cool but im kinda dissapointed that there isnt any in game Campain :( . Curious,is there a way to make travel from one system to another faster? Phase jumping takes so long :( even with the research it still takes forever. Then again when i use the ingame map creator i make the maps Huge :) . The reason i make them so big is then i have som

Reply to Anyone play Space empires V? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

i have it,i like it,but it crashes alot for me . Not sure if the crashes are due to Steam or me modding it too much. Try the Demo see if it works ok on your computer. Im not sure about Space Empires IV cause i havent gotten the retail version of it yet but the Demo worked great. I also brought Space Empires 3 Looong time ago wich was good for its time but now i just cant get used to p

Reply to Was Wondering in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

Hmm sounds like it may be a little over my head to do. I came up with this idea casue i was modding techs and ships in Space Empires V,where i was adding the same tech but diff name and the AI couldnt use it . Guess things in this game are way different then hehe. Space Empires V seems a little easier to mod. hehe dont worrie i still like GalCiv 2 <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Smile

Reply to Patch 1.4 :) its coming in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Hi i have to say that this complaining about too many patches coming out is a little odd. To me this tells me that the company cares about there game and there users. Ive never really seen any other company that does this for a offline game. To me this is good. Complaining about too many patches? hmm Wierd. Also if you dont have access to the net,how are you talking to us? Oh wait sorry your useing a friends computer or work computer. Hmm if ya dont have access to the net at your home w

hi i notice that the graph at the bottom of the screen and the Map to the right of the screen gets all garbled. Is that what happens when your card over heats?
