The download link is broken. :(
... go for it!
Well, I thought I was going to bed her soon :)
Getting a minidump, just as the map finishes loading.
Using lastest version, all updated, no other mods running. Could this be because I have graphics too high, what do i need them to be set at it?
Or could it be something else.
Recommended graphics settings are listed here. Look in description box and click 'more info.'
Out of curiosity what is the Video Card on your machine?
Im too ashamed too say :( i havnt got the cash to upgrade yet. But its way out of date.
Btw man, LOVING the new meshes and textures, THEY ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad you sorted it ... as I've said before the Sins development team has recently been releasing patches 'left right and center'
PS: glad you are enjoying the new models!
Xmas is coming, you should ask for a new video card from someone who loves ya dude :)))) it does work hahaha
I've had one for about 6 months that I haven't installed. I need to re-install windows and all my applications ... just haven't had the time!
How do i Turn off the asteroids? Or what do i delete in the files to get rid of them?
They behave the same way as the Militia
Download link broken :(
fine for me
fine for me as well
it works yay
Nice, I have it working without too many problems...altough I did play a 3-hour game and when I quit to the menu, it crashed.
Is it me, or can the Travelon? heavy cruiser use its missile barrage ability without it being researched?
Also, when viewed from behind, one of the utility cruisers has a stretched or skewed polygon.-its tradealliance, and I think its name starts with U or something.
I only mention it because all your other smorgasborg'd models look quite nice.
And now the game minidumps whenever I try to start it up...wft?
I have noted that on occasions Sins crashes almost randomly on mod startup or game startup. It is weird but fortunately it is rare on my machine. Try the following ...
1. Activate the mod.
2. Shut Sins down
3. Restart Sins (Maelstrom autoactivate at this point)
Hi WS-GS8,
Thanks for the feedback.
I'll look at the TA's Travelon and utility cruisers for the things you noted.
"Also, when viewed from behind, one of the utility cruisers has a stretched or skewed polygon.-its tradealliance ..." I found no problems
game crashes when i enable
Have you got Diplomacy patched to 1.34?
Are you using the recommended graphics settings?
Nevermind, got it to work.
good stuff ... thanks for letting me know.
I keep getting a minidump on custom maps
Does it work on standard maps?
For the custom maps at what stage does it mini-dump?
works fine on stardard and right after i load in (as new races)
I haven't personally made any custom maps but I believe that you have to copy the galaxydefinition file (from the maelstrom gameinfo folder) into the gaxlaxyforge folder to create the maps.
kk ill give that a go ty =)
Let me know how you go ...
Still mini dumps oh well ill just play on standard maps ^^ awesome work regaurdless
More specifically, replace the GalaxyScenarioDef in GalaxyForge with the one from Maelstrom ... then make your map anew with Galaxy Forge.
( see also Forums.sinsofasolarempire.com )
kk ty ill mess with it ^^
keep me posted
still cant get it to work (although i did make the map useing the ingame editer)
Surprising as a know a number of people have created their own maps for Maelstrom in the past.
guess it just hates me ^^
Arrr ... the battles I have had also!
Ty for helping though ^^
for some reason it wont let me play it. it will sit there like a kid staring at you. i got windows 7 and ya nothing. can you help? I'v even copy and paste still not working!
What do you mean "for some reason it wont let me play it"? Does it mini-dump?
no it will stay at windows or make a black screen. then i will have to log out or shut my pc down. you could make a auto installer? that would help a lot?
"no it will stay at windows or make a black screen" ...
It sound like you have copied the wrong version of the Maelstrom mod into your diplomacy mod directory. Alternatively have you got Sins Diplomacy patched to 1.34?
"you could make a auto installer" ...
I had a look at writing an auto installer, its not as simple as it appears. Apart from other issues it would have to be OS dependent (XP, Vista, Win7, Linux, etc) and therefore fairly sophisticated (i.e windows application). Currently to install a mod all you need to know is the mod directory and how to copy and patch from your unzipped directory.
k thanx man and i hear you about the auto install thing. it was just a suggestion thanx.
No problems
I have problem with textures , the ships are not completely finish, can you help me please?
"I have problem with textures , the ships are not completely finish" ...
the ships are not being render correctly on your system. This is most likely due to your graphics card. Make sure that you have the latest video driver or reduce the graphics effects setting of Sins.
i got it to work but it had a mini-dump once i played can you help?
With the new patches I have found a bug with the abilities on the Magnetar and Quasar Stars. If they are loaded into a game they will crash the game.
There are 11 stars in total so the more stars in the map the more likely there will be a mini-dump. This can occur also when the games/mod starts. So it is random.
You can take out the two stars by changing the GalaxyScenarioDef.galaxyScenarioDef file (decrementing lines 6 & 21, and at the same time deleting lines 13,17,27,31)
