Babylon 5 mod effort for Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion

This is the story of the last of the Babylon 5 mod-efforts. It's goal, to prevent another failure, by creating a place to solve our problems collaboratively. Its a port of call, home away from home, for modelers, texturers, programmers and sound engineers.

Release 0.54.1 Full Download for Rebellion 1.95+
& Patch 0.54.2

Sins Of The Younger Races Remastered

NEW - Balvarin Carrier and Minor Factions fix!

 

 

Installation Guide:

  1. Download the latest Sins Remastered mod from here:
    https://www.moddb.com/mods/sinsre
  2. Extract the archive into a 'SinsRemastered' folder in your 'C:\Users\%username%\Documents\My Games\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion\Mods-Rebellion v1.85' folder.
  3. Download the latest Babylon 5 Sins of the Younger Races mod from here:
    https://www.moddb.com/mods/sins-of-the-younger-races
  4. Extract the archive into your root 'Mods-Rebellion v1.85' folder instead of a new mod folder as the archive ALREADY contains a premade 'SotyrRemastered' folder inside of it (so if you're not careful you'll end up with a mod folder inside of a mod folder and it won't work lol).
  5. Start Sins and go to 'Options', then 'Mods', and you should see the mods you've installed.
  6. Enable 'SotyrRemastered' and then enable 'SinsRemastered' too. Make sure that the load order is SotyrRemastered first/top and then SinsRemastered second/bottom.
  7. Restart Sins and you should be good to go!

Sometimes the in-game mod loader can be a bit funky so if you can't see the mods you've installed or something isn't working then enabling the mods via the 'EnabledMods.txt' file in your 'Mods-Rebellion v1.85' folder where you installed the mods to is the other alternative. It should look like this to work:

TXT2
SinsArchiveVersion 194
Version 0
enabledModNameCount 2
enabledModName "SotyrRemastered"
enabledModName "SinsRemastered-v0.95b"

Nice model, if only the engine allowed for destroying planets.....

 

But it does? I'm sure there could be a variation of 'Strip to the Core' on the ship?

Not using abilities. The STTC is only available using the Scrap Planet button (as is used for ships). Since we cannot scrap an enemy planet, we cannot use it.

Is it possible to do a brief pre-buff that changes ownership of the planet and then scrap it? So you combine the Advent ultimate with the Vasari ultimate?

I'll look into it further when I get back, but even if you force swap the planet ownership there is no way to force a strip command.

That is quite neat. I could almost imagine those two paddles and the tentacles waving around as construction commences.

Be careful what you wish for, especially if you're on Centauri Prime. ;)

Thank you, that was exactly the intention. If only we had animation haha but on the other hand then I'd never get any sleep.

Yes they are, weren't the old ones Sins models? Otherwise I didn't realise Vorlon fighters already done..

Thanks! And working hard on the Tech orbitals, we'll get there! Hopefully today a preview. I'm missing out on textures with windows and such so it'll be a bit dull at first.

Limited animation is possible, the various EA rotating sections are proof of that. I'm not sure of the limits or the how, but a some movement is probably in the realm of the possible. It would likely force a redo of the model though.

Tech orbitals now I'm really excited.

How about this one? A bit of the Vorlon Observatory Post from the series, but then as a flying structure.

Looks great.Is is possible to make the tentacles a little bit more organuc at the intersection point with the top?

I've been away the last two days due to migraine. Will start working again today (I hope)

Thanks! The tentacles are just buildings hanging down, all quite angular (so easier to update with glowing window textures haha). The top is therefore also angular. But good point, it should morph more from round to angular at the top. I'll have a try at that.

Hope you get better soon! I'm helpless without your UV skills  :thumbsup:

Still gathering inspiration for the war-tech orbital. Meanwhile, here's a preview for the frigate platform, using the Advent way of looking at things. Still have to add some ornaments for the matter-ejectors etc.

I'm stunned.

To militarize the research station try adding petals hanging down that partially shield the  buildings and tweak the color scheme a bit and add a smallish central organic tentacle cluster on top. For the civilian station emphasize horizontal lighting, for the military emphasize vertical lighting. That way you get to reuse most of the original model and still make it look distinct and different.

TobiWahn,

Glad your feeling better, I was wondering what was sucking up your time. Try magnesium supplements next headache they have made a world of difference for my better half. I suspect I'll be stunned again in a couple week. Let me know how the troubleshooting is going and if my pointers helped isolate the issue(s).

Reply #4494 from Sins Forums Top

Tweaks on the TechCiv and FrigateFactory complete. @TobiWahn, indeed looks better now with more rounded tops on the pilars/.

@Darvroth, thanks for the suggestions on the TechWar, I've got something in mind now. Also on the CapitalFactory. I have some questions too, I've send you a private message.

I would love to do a rework on the Envoy. The original one seems a bit out of line now. Any special requests? What should a Vorlon ship have that practically just hangs in orbit around ally planets looking pretty? I'm leaning towards the idea that the Transport should also be an envoy; it just seems a bit double. Is it something game-technical?

Orbital Culture Center, transmitting messages of obediance. Amidst a trove of other orbital structures, protected by a Vorlon patrol squadron.

Reply #4497 from Sins Forums Top

Finally! Vorlon Capital Factory is completed. It's building a capital carrier (and yes, it fits through the ring).

Nice, better than what I suggested.

Other models also look good. Can't wait to see what you do with UV and texture as your skill set grows.

Vorlon Titan Factory

I set it to rotating, but can't choose the right axis. But, rotating like this is also nice :-) I could reuse the Vasari light effect, works nice on the planetkiller.
