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?

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
