Played 1.0 multiplayer game, 2 (EoH, PSA) vs 1 hard AI (NR). It was a great game. PSA player didn't have problems with the Secutor's firing, but i dont know what kind of "firing bug" it really has.
Enemy built quite balanced looking fleets, it was nice to fight against AI. But in the early game I noticed with horror how NR started it attacks with, what I feared to be, a quasar introduced fighter spam, but they didnt launch fighters (they simply attacked as frigates which was a pleasant surprise, but they still have plenty of those in their fleet): http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/550931938595560942/38ECDC3CE9E0BCE5335809BE9EF7369AE0C52242/
EoH:
Warlord gunship "glows", is this intentional? http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/550931938595560459/08533AB3C73597A69EA1154DBCF2B3EB12F8AF7E/
Chaf pocked destroyer's certain weapon's effect has a "box" surrounding the laser, I'm not sure if this is a performance (big battles hit 20 fps at the peaks), download or mod issue: http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/550931938595553929/47416A85CACA85531433F82AF31A1D194631B6EF/
Bonus pics from my favourite SotSE mod's (Ascendancy of course!) most epic fight (0.95 if I remember it right): two empire fleets intercept New republic fleet http://i.imgur.com/UmQ3OGj.jpg and http://i.imgur.com/KxkzS06.jpg :) Looking for more epic scenes like this, thank you for your work.
-
Alaria's repair ability still says ''The Altor restores health to its target''.
-
I did notice for the EotH that the Military lab and the Civic Lab are in the wrong build spot and that the Dominator for the PA it's Interdictor ability doesn't work.
-
Firstly I just wanted to say that I have been completely blown away by the quality of the mod. The passion and care of the mod team really shows.
I'm currently playing as the Pentastar alignment but every time I send the Enforcer, Gladiator and Secuter into combat they do not fire any of their weapons. Which slightly dampens the experience of playing as Pentastar .
I understand coding fairly well in the game,so I was wondering how I would go about fixing this myself before the next release?
-
Kalist VI is still called Kalist IV. :L
-
The executors missile ability at lvl 3 has a much shorter range than the previous tiers.
Also the penatastar alignment protectionism research don't seem to work like it should, it only lists 2% but the description says it should stack 3 times and it is 2 tiers aswell so more likely 6 times.
The new rep smugglers den research says it has some upgrades for your ships, but seems to be missing that part.
The asdroni and vigiliance eoth frigates fires turbolasers and not lasers and don't seem to be able to target fighters.
The allegiance lists 72 fighter storage but it cant use figthers, should it not say zero?
-
Most fighters still have a "missing string" error in their descriptions - at least for the IR and the EotH.
-
Erm I keep crashing about a couple minutes into any given game. Any idea whats happening ? it just freezes. Also thanks for an amazing game guys furreal I cant play it at the moment really but looks and feels amazing.
Cheers.
-
Sounds like you don't have LAA on.
-
Have noticed that some Pentastar ships do not always fire upon a planet, even though they have Orbital Bombardment. Ships such as the Venator will only assault the planet some of the time, and when they don't, they must be individually selected and ordered one by one. Even then, they do not always attack.
-
Yeah so I totally poured over the instructions multiple times there and I figure I must be missing something, could windows 10 be a part of the problem ? I also tried to use command prompt but with no success
Cheers
-
could windows 10 be a part of the problem
I don't have stability problems with Win 10.

I don't have stability problems with Win 10.
Here either.

Hi. Nice mod, really enjoing it, noticet a few "bugs":

1) Not a bug. Antimatter has been replaced with fighter supply; every time you build a fighter squadron on a ship it uses fighter supply. Fighter supply can be replenished from fleet tenders and resupply stations.
2) We haven't got all of the new VOs sorted yet so they will continue to be added over the next few releases.
-
Hey guys, don't know if this is a bug. The Renemants resupply ship doesn't heal, only resupply, is that the intention?
-
You talking the MTC or the Altor? Because the MTC that's by design, the Altor is the only ship that can restore hull, the MTC is a fighter supply ship only, just the best supply ship in combat, making it far more likely to survive a battle, and actually not useless in battle (making it quite unique and finally useful, IMO).
-
May i ask what voiceovers will be added in full 1.0 release ?
-
So far, we have the Ascendancy SD, Bu'direch and EotH Broadcast center lines in.
-
Imperial remnant scout frigates are set to auto attack by default. Clearly this is unintentional. Should be an easy fix
Viscount commonly gets stuck on other ships/structures, especially tightly grouped structures and ships in the same fleet as the Viscount. If set to group jump, oftentimes the group can't jump. The viscount can't get into position and also it blocks other ships. (Not sure if this is normal titan behavior)
Cool mod, keep up the good work.

As much as I know it can't be removed, and it is true for every faction's scout.
-
I'm experiencing an issue: after une or two minutes of playing the cursor disappear. Actually, it's still there, but it's invisible, I can see the hud icons highlighting when I randomly move the mouse.
-
This mod is very well put together, but there is no sound at all. I re-read through all of the changelogs and couldn't find anything that says there wasn't supposed to be any sound so I'm assuming that this is a glitch of some sort. Or I've simply missed something important.

Yeah IDK. Sound works fine on my computer. Could be something went wrong in the mod install?

The only thing I can think of that may cause that is if you're playing the 1.83 version in the Dev exe, which is a known 1.83 issue for that version of Sins itself. Nothing in the mod would do that.
-
I re-activated the mod and the sound worked, but then it cut out. Which was weird so I verified the cache and lo and behold, there was a file missing. I'll see if that was the reason things weren't working properly.
-
First off I wanted to say I absolutely love this mod. Great work all around! I played my first game (approx. 8 hours) the other day and noticed a few bugs/inconsistencies when playing as the Imperial Remnant. I have done some programming in the past so if you were interested in some help feel free to message me.
====Feedback====
First off let me say I play most of the game zoomed out to see at least one planet on the screen.
When fleets are selected, the quad parenthesis () make it difficult to see any kind of detail or whats happening.
The icons are to busy. I would suggest streamlining them to remove the readout tag, or only pop up when zoomed above a level if possible. Otherwise they take up to much space and make a planet unmanagable when zoomed out.

hey when i launch the mod, it freezes and not responds at the loading screen, i did everything correctly, i installed it correctly
i dont know why it freezes, i have a good system to play in, my processor is AMD, my graphics is AMD Radeon HD.....
can you fix it please, i really want to play this on my computer
-
Make sure you downloaded the correct version. One of the downloads is specifically for Sins 1.82 (typically Steam versions) and one of the downloads is for Sins 1.83 (typically GoG). If you have the wrong one, it will crash as you describe.

As much as I know it can't be removed, and it is true for every faction's scout.
You can change that by downloading this (http://www.moddb.com/mods/sacrifice-of-angels-2/downloads/convertdata-folders-for-rebellion-modders) and putting the file you want to change into the correct Convert_ folder, this one is using the ConvertEntity folder. After doing that you use the _Entity_BIN-2-TXT.bat executable to make it into a legible text file. Here is the Remnant_Mu.entity:

Now what we want to change is this:
defaultAutoAttackOn TRUE
into this:
defaultAutoAttackOn FALSE
After that you use the _Entity_TXT-2-BIN.bat executable to change it back into the format the game can parse. Then you replace the original file with the altered one in its directory. Remnant_Mu.entity would be copied back into the GameInfo folder
As an aside I personally use Notepad++ because of its handy features.
-
The game can read non-Bin'd files. None of the files in the mod are bin'd, you don't need to do any converting.
-
I love the mod, I just got it today and it is probably one of the best mods for Sins I have ever played. The only thing I am confused with, is why does the Viscount shoot green lasers, and so does the Assault Frigate when bombarding a planet.
Also will the Mediator Battlecruiser ever come?
