Quick synopsis

This mod introduces the colonial and cylon factions to the Sins of the Fallen universe. Both races will be playable with any of the planets, addons, and races included in Sins of the Fallen including the stock races. Both the colonial and cylon's factions will be balanced against the stock factions to support this approach. 

 

Colonial Fleet

Relying on heavily armored and armed ships the colonial fleet is always on the defense looking for cylon incursions. Lacking shields of any kind Battlestar Point Defense systems are used to intercept incoming weapons and minimize damage to nearby frigates and cruisers supporting the fleet.

Still bug hunting. Cylons are still having some minidump issues, but I think I just found one obscure one with Activate Sleeper agents. Going to fix it and see how a long game goes with cylons.

If I can get a game without a mini-dump which I've been able to do with all the other races, I'll likely upload it.

Hey, first of all I just want to show my appreciation of this mod !! I litreally just bought sins to solely play this mod.. which I have invested hours into !!

I understand how busy it must be to do this in your free time but this mod is awesome and I do have some suggestions on ways to "improve" it.

> Battlestar "Osiris" - The main battlestar from B&C the ability could be ether immunity or "DRADIS Ghost" to represent the show

> Viper mkIII - the main viper from B&C, just something new and interesting to add.

> The "Wild Weasle" Raptor - the main raptor from B&C ability to have a rear turret ??

> The Stealth Viper" that bulldog flew in the main show - Could be made unique to the valkyrie.

> One small thing I noticed was the galactica is classed as a columbia class battlestar, I thought it was jupiter class ?

 

Also I was curious with the new game "Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock" annoucned for release, it looks like they have new assets such as ships and stations. In the future do you have any plans to add these to the mod eventually ? 

Your mod is amazing !! such a great vibe to play. I hope you keep up the great work in the future. :D

Yep, I did find that the Cylons were mini-dumping a fair bit, for no apparent reason...

delete the fallen planet relic entity file (capture the file name in notepad first). 

Copy planet Terran naming it the same as the relic file name. 

It will still get the very strong militia if it spawns but will be a Terran planet.

Thanks Z. I'm curious what plans you have for the mod in the future ?. I stumbled across your mod not too long ago and I really enjoy it. Also check this out I just came across it. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/4yr5W

Z, I've also noticed that the "experience bar" isn't working for Level 10 experience (could be for other experience levels, but I noticed it when I was on exp. 10):

Also may have been a one off, but I had a mini-dump when my enemies Resurrection Hub was jumping around between some of my planets...

That could be one of the lingering cylon mini-dumps.

Hi Z. The Embassy ability seems to work for colonial and cylon, but not for the other races? I was playing against the Rogue and Nephilim recently and became allies with the Rogue, however a Rogue embassy wasn't spawned at my home planet. I could see that my Cylon embassy had been spawned at their homeworld. Not sure if you were aware of this?

Try replacing these files in the Cylon GameInfo folder. It changes the ability from passive to auto-cast, however this will prevent it from trying to fire while in phase jump.

That appears to fix the mini-dump. Looking at another optimization to lobotomize again. That thing is getting reapplied a lot.

Reply #3021 from Sins Forums Top

Found some weird issue with two Resurrection Hubs causing a mini-dump. At-least if I scuttle one before the mini-dump in the save file it doesn't happen. If leave both alive the mini-dump happens the same time each time.

 Edit- Might have a fix... going to test it out and see if it was the problem.

Code looks almost identical to the cylon. I'll have to try recreating it.

Reply #3023 from Sins Forums Top

Hmm... I just had my first Cylon simulation run without mini-dumping. Will try again and see if the new Resurrection code changes actually made a difference or it was a fluke. If this all works I can release a patch with the newest changes.

Couldn't recreate this. I only see the cylon level ups.

Here's a patch file that should hopefully fix the resurrection mini-dumps.

This file doesn't include any meshes, textures or sounds. The full version is being uploaded on moddb but is a much larger download.
