Introduction

The Maelstrom Mod introduces four new races to the SoaSE Universe.

It keeps the original races, the TEC, Advent and Vasari who are still to be found building and battling as usual.

All of the new races are independent of the original races and have unique strengths and weaknesses.

Reply #1435 from Sins Forums Top

Interesting ... I have never had problems personally and the vast majority of people are OK, apart from 2GB issue, so all I can do is scratch my head ...

Reply #1436 from Sins Forums Top

Maybe, due to certain things in the exe, the dev exe is inherently more stable than the regular exe?

... i did not think of that..

300-400 problems ... what is this? Couldn't find this in the error log are you sure you are reading it write ...

the most common error is

C:\Projects\P4\SinsRebellion\main\CodeSource\Engine\DataStructures\FixedArray.h(117): assert! [i >= 0]

useful to know ... esoteric to say the least (looks like C or C++ debugger output, which is a fat load of good)

There is a problem with a PipelineEffect

A missing texture

and

the PLANETMODULE_TECHORBITALHANGARDEFENSE model has a error in its weapon points allocation

 

PS: I always run Sins with LogOutput and ShowErrors on. I don't use dev mode

This.  I hate using the dev exes.  Too much minor shit for me to care.

A Ouija board might help with interpreting the warnings from the dev "tool"...

R4 seems to have some bugs concerning buff-auras. Tried out Norlamin yesterday and the energy weapon cooldown aura (Jelmi Colony Capital Ship) stacks up to 90% (should be 22%) which makes any Norlamin fleet totally OP. I also noticed that some of the planet abilities have the same behaviour (f.e. 160% to hit instead of 40% and 75% weapon cooldown instead of 25%). You might wanna look into this

Except from that i like the changes you did - especially the dreadnaught nerf and speed improvements for titans/dreadnaughts. The new races are still OP i think, but its gettin a lot more balanced...

 

Any news concerning a fix for that? I looked into the problem myself and at least found the reason why its behaving like that for the Jelmi:

BuffEnergyWeaponBoost_Norlamins.entity

 

entityType "Buff"
onReapplyDuplicateType "PrioritizeNewBuffs"
buffStackingLimitType "ForAllPlayers"
stackingLimit 4
allowFirstSpawnerToStack TRUE
buffExclusivityForAIType "ExclusiveForAllPlayers"
isInterruptable FALSE
isChannelling FALSE
numInstantActions 0
numPeriodicActions 0
numOverTimeActions 0
numEntityModifiers 1
entityModifier
    buffEntityModifierType "EnergyWeaponCooldown"
    value
        Level:0 -0.075000
        Level:1 -0.150000
        Level:2 -0.225000
        Level:3 -0.325000
numEntityBoolModifiers 0
numFinishConditions 2
finishCondition
    finishConditionType "OutOfRange"
finishCondition
    finishConditionType "OwnerChanged"

 

I don't know if you set the stacking limit on 4 on purpose (because it seems kinda unbalanced with 4 Jelmis at lvl 7+), but if you did you should set "allowFirstSpawnerToStack" to "False" or 1 Jelmi will stack its aura 4 times...

Thanks for the reminder ... you are correct, the buff should not be set to stacking.

Will fix for R5

I love this modification. Right now I am playing it on Trinity but, I would love to play it on my copy of Rebellion when all the races are unlocked (for Rebellion). Most importantly the Replicators. Have you been busy lately and not been able to work on the mod or have you been piecing it together as you get time?

Reply #1445 from Sins Forums Top

Glad you are liking the mod.

All content, and more, has been available since the R4 release (Rebellion)

There is a bug in the R4 release, which occasional causes problems, and which I am in the process of tracking down

So this has probably been posted somewhere, but I've been looking for days without any luck. With this mod or any others I try to enable, the game refreshes to the loading screen and minidumps. If anyone could be so kind as to help out or point me in the right direction i would be forever grateful.

Don't use the ingame mod enabler; it crashes most of the time. Enable mods before launching the game.

Are you sure the Rebellion patch matches the patch the mod is for i.e Maelstrom R4 with the v1.1 patch of Rebellion?

Reply #1450 from Elemental Forums Top

Hey, I've just got a few quick questions. First, is there a way to get rid of the dangerous asteroids in the newest version of maelstrom? I've done it before with the trinity version of the mod, but now when I try using the same method (detailed on page 42 of this thread) in the rebellion version it mini dumps. Also, on moddb it looks like you've completely redesign the pirate models, even giving them capital ships! Are they in R4 or are they just previews? This mod is awesome. Thanks for making it.
