Hello,
So now that we have the BC304 installed, lets move on to adding her missiles and Beam weapons
First you will need to download the Forge Tools from www.Sinsofasolarempire.com and extract them to a new directory.
Now that you have this done, we will be needing only a couple of actual files that we will be looking at, these files are as follows:
FrigateTechHeavy.ENTITY
FrigateTechLongRange.ENTITY
CAPITALSHIP_PSICARRIER.ENTITY
and other files that I will not be covering if you wish to make the Beam weapons an ability.
Ok so now that we have these files, go into the BC304 minimod folder, and create a new folder called GameInfo.
in this folder place a copy of FrigateTechHeavy.ENTITY, and open it with Notepad.
Missiles:
Now that we have that open, we need to add the missiles to the BC304. To do this, open up FrigateTechLongRange.ENTITY, and copy the following from the file:
Weapon
WeaponType "Missile"
damageEnums
AttackType "ANTIMEDIUM"
DamageAffectType "AFFECTS_SHIELDS_AND_HULL"

Now we head to the open FrigateTechHeavy.ENTITY file we added earlier, and scroll till you find the weapons section. Now that you are there, paste the copy of the code from the FrigateTechLongRange.ENTITY file under the exsisting weapon, and it should look like this:
Weapon

Missiles will now be added to the 304, but if you want it to have only Railguns and Missiles, you will have to have the following code in the weapons area:
Weapon

And also, above where the weapons are starts, it says NumWeapons 1. Change it to NumWeapons 3 so all the weapons will fire.
Beam Weapons:
If you want to have the asgard beam weapons, you will need to do a little bit more modding, but the NumWeapons is still going to be 3. So now we open CAPITALSHIP_PSICARRIER.ENTITY, and copy the following for the beam weapons:
Weapon
WeaponType "Beam"

Now for it to fire right, you will need to have the weapons area set up like this:
Weapon

That should be all you need to know about adding in weapons to the 304. Now just go ingame, build yourself a 304 to test your new weapons, and that should be all she wrote. If you are still having problems, please feel free to PM me.
How often are the beam weapons supposed to fire? only i've not seen mine fire yet, appart from that thanks, the mods great, keep up the good work
Where do you copy and paste this stuff to exactly? Do you just paste this over everything or do you put in a specific place?
I followed the instructions above and pasted it all into the FrigateTechHeavy file in the right order and changed that numweapons to 3.
The file is saved under -->
C:\Users\Aaron\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Entrenchment v1.03\BC304\Gameinfo\FrigateTechHeavy.entity
Do I have to change some more numbers or something?
at Drako474, scroll till you find the weapons section and add it there.
At Sanity Slayer, do the missiles fire?
I've had a fiddle with the numbers pasting in different beams and I think I know whats wrong with it,
It is currently,
DamagePerBank:LEFT 70.000000
DamagePerBank:RIGHT 70.000000
I decided to change these to Zero and make
DamagePerBank:FRONT 70.000000
Now it fires but from the middle of the BC304s underside, which isn't preferable. Basicly Left and right don't fire for some reason
yes
I've fixed the problem, if you scroll down under the weapons you paste in you'll find directly under it;
m_weaponIndexForRange 0
firingAlignmentType "Default"
TargetCountPerBank:FRONT 1
TargetCountPerBank:BACK 0
TargetCountPerBank:LEFT 0
TargetCountPerBank:RIGHT 0
Change Left and right banks to one and it works;
TargetCountPerBank:LEFT 1
TargetCountPerBank:RIGHT 1
I've gotten the hang of this all now, i've even given mine fighter like movement, antimatter and the Kol Battleships abilities at level one, stronger weapons, more armor, better shields, made more expensive etc.
Thanks again for the amazing minimod
you are welcome, glad I could help out a little with modding it.
Hi again, sorry about all of this posting, but how do you use the developer.exe? I can get it running but i don't know all the special controls to work the Debug menu.
I'm trying to get to know how to make mods for SoaSE by adapting this one to my liking, but I keep on getting minidumps.
ctrl+shift+. gives you the debug menu. from there, make sure your caps lock is off and you are good to go to navigate it.
How do I open the minidump saves that keeps on being saved automatically
you can open them with notepad, unfortunately, it is mainly gibberish.
Yeah I gathered that much, is there a general tutorial for modding this game anywhere? I looked around but i can't find one that covers everything I need
Hey
my computer keeps getting a CRC error, data damaged sign when I try to download any of the forge tools or anything else for that matter. what do I do?
for some reason when i put the GameInfo file into BC304 it doesnt let me activate the mod becuase it stops responding
ok im confused how do you install and use the developer.exe it says its missing a .dlls file of some sort i really want to add the weapons to the BC304 mod but how do i do it? Im only a beginner modder and I have almost no idea what im doing...please explain how to do this more clearly than you already have!
you have to place the developer.exe file in the sins directory with the game launchers for the Developer to work, as for actually working it I haven't a clue
same here when I do what the instructions above tell me to do and I try to load the mod it doesnt work anymore but if i remove the gameinfo folder it does work!
Where are you putting the Gameinfo folder?
It should be;
C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Entrenchment v1.03\BC304
for Vista users, and something similar for XP.
Hey Epytron_Omega can you just post the complete code for the gameinfo folder? or upload that folder then let us download it?
(sorry for the triple post ☺)
I cannot add the GameInfo Folder for you, as I dont have just this ship installed, I have my entire mod installed.
Its a good thing that Epytron_Omega is doing it as a tutorial really and not a download, since it gives us a basic idea of modding. From this I have moved on to make the ship a Capital Ship with selected abilities, powerful shields, and given it anti-fighter weapons.
Although everytime I try to create a new ability it all blows up in my face and saves a minidump. I know roughly how to make them, just not where I'm going wrong.
A new good tutorial would be a proper way to create abilities for the Ship without it all going wrong.
ok this is where i put my GameInfo file with the frigatetechheavy.entity file with the modding in it i used the beam weapons one
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Entrenchment v1.03\BC304
ok, so your game info folder should be located like so:
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Entrenchment v1.03\BC304\GameInfo
when you create that, add in the basic FrigateTechHeavy.entity before you modify it, see if that works first.
ok i did that and it didnt work. would it be that my computer whenever i try to run something it cant recognize and i open with something itl change all those files to be used by that program like i use frigatetechheavy.entity and open it with notepad it will change the files main way of opening to notepad well all of them and when i have to save it it has to go as a text document or something that isnt rly the .entity file
ok nvm about it not running it mustve been becuase i used steam to run entrenchment after i used impulse it ran
sorry for the double post
wacky i went back to see if i could mod it and it had 2 miles covering it i deleted those and put the unmodded version of frigatetecheavy and now it doesnt work. would it be the program that opens it which is notepad becuase idk how to change it back to its defualt
Are you remembering to save the file with .entity at the end? I know that can be a problem, since I had it alot.
I've just about completed my modifications to this minimod now, it even has a fully functioning cloak :-D
it doesnt even run when i just put the defualt frigatetechheavy.entity file with the GameInfo folder into the mod. it wont work then i think its the way my computer changes every file of that type's main way of opening into that program i try ot open with and idk how to reset that
it doesn't matter if the computer always opens it with notepad whenever you want to open the file.
You also said just "it doesnt even run when i just put the defualt frigatetechheavy.entity file with the GameInfo folder into the mod" are you making sure that the .entity file is actually in the gameinfo folder?
yes it is i drag it from forgetools3 into the GameInfo so it should be there and the GameInfo is in the BC304 folder so it should run like all of yours
make sure that there is no sub paths when you drag it over, like it doesnt put a forgetools3/Reference data/GameInfo
i checked that and there was no sub folders it in the file location
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Entrenchment v1.03\BC304\gameinfo
the folder is Case Sensitive. Make sure it says GameInfo, not gameinfo.
ok i put it as GameInfo and put the regular firegatetecheavy.entity folder in it it has no sub folders which would block it form being read by the computer and it still didnt run =(
Hi Epytron, I got the mod to work for the most part but it still doesn't fire missiles or beam weapons. It just fires 4 auto-cannons. Is it still supposed to be called a Kodiak? Cause it is. Also when I mouse over it for the tool tip, the weapons section of it only registers auto-cannon damage. The model looks great though. Thanks a lot!
SGTRhino, make sure that you change the number of weapons to 3 if you havent already. If it is still acting up, I am not sure why it would do it. And it is still suppose to be called Kodiak, I didnt change any String files.
at Aciddrop68, this is a very confusing problem of yours, I have no idea why it would act up...
The number of weapons is 3. I copied what you had exactly. Still no missiles or beam weapons.
My second version of this minimod has just been authorised by the admins, this one has fighter style movement for the BC304s and multiple beam weapon fire points.
Just click on my profile, then addons then select which you want.
okay. I have no previous modding experience, so where am I supposed to find
FrigateTechHeavy.ENTITY
FrigateTechLongRange.ENTITY
CAPITALSHIP_PSICARRIER.ENTITY
or am i supposed to make it? and how am I supposed to do all of that stuff? add it inbetween the text of an existing file? make a fresh new one and enter all that stuff? how am i supposed to use forge tools? and could you write this stuff abit clearer? i'm just an average joe who likes SG and SOASE.
p.s. I know i spelled O'niell wrong.
wait, do you copy the forge tools into the gameinfo folder?
Alot of the words are in the folders found in the original game files, but many of the numbers arent, wtf?
Im so confusticated!!!
Alot of the words are in the folders found in the original game files, but many of the numbers arent, wtf? I'm so confusticated!!!
you need to download the FORGE TOOLS from the Sinsofasolarempire website, they have the correct versions of the files that you need.
Ummm... I have the same problem as aciddrop68. When I used the developer.exe, i get a bunch of errors when i try to enabled the mod. I ran it a LOOOONG time ago on regular SINS, and it worked fine. But that was without the missiles and beams.
PS I have entrenchment now
there are certain changes to entity files for Entrenchment, are you using the Entrenchment Entity Files?
Epytron Omega I've tried 2 down load the Forge Tools but I can't find were I need 2 put them
put them anywhere. Are you running Vanilla Sins or Entrenchment?
Hello
I tried to add the weapons to the BC304 but it always shutdown when I activate the mod. I followed the instructions but with no success. It always safe it in Minidumps and I have no idear why or what I can do with it. I think I make a mistake with the copy-and-past-part. But the good thing about it is that at least I can see the 304 in the game =)
(I hope you can understand what I want to say. I know my english isn't the best. sorry for that)
thanks
