Hello,

 

First I would thank you for this awesome mod !!

 

But the main reason of this pm is to report 2 weird values in entity files :

 

-----------------------------------------------

CAPITAL_IMPTECTOR.entity

 

some values are somehow inverted :

line 100 : LASERTECH has AFFECTS_ONLY_SHIELDS damage affect type

line 143 : ION has AFFECTS_SHIELDS_AND_HULL damage affect type

------------------------------------------------

BUFF_ADVFLEETTACTICSREPEFFECT.entity

 

some values are missing and file structure is incomplete (lines 12, 14, 22)

numEntityModifiers key is missing but there are 2 entityModifier(s)

numOverTimeActions equals 2 but there is no overTimeAction

-----------------------------------------------

 

Playing vong makes the game crash after 10-15min. Not sure why though. (tried several times).

Well it's not really time related. I tried without doing nothing and game was running for several hours. I'll continue my investigations.

OK finally found out. Vong tradeport makes the game crash when trying to pop tradeship, must be some problem with mesh (also vong tradeship mesh file and vong tradeship shield mesh file are the same size).

 

There is also an issue about vong constructor ship that can't build deep space mines around planets.

And Mid Ro'ik ship still cannot learn his alpha strike ability.

 

Keep the good work !

[Lavo]

Thanks for the bug report! The Tector and BUFF_ADVFLEETTACTICSREPEFFECT bits I entirely missed, can't thank you enough for those. The Vong issue has been fixed locally; for some reason the Vong's trade and refinery ships were missing from entity.manifest. The Miid Ro'ik, being a royal pain, is known as well; I'll fix that soon.

[Lavo]

Update: August 29, 2013 | Revision: 1092

 

Fixed issue with Tector and Mandator's Advanced Tactics ability (thanks Wac), fixed severe lag/particle issue with cloud/storm entities, changed speed for a lot of ships, Alpha/Critical Strike no longer need research, Slave Rigging no longer needs research, Wormhole removed from all GSD entries save the Wormhole entry, modified some research costs, buffed Jedi Assistance's armor bonus, changed Iron Will of the Empire's damage buff from happening after colonizing a planet to happening while bombing a planet, slightly reduced VSD-I costs, other minor fixes.

[Wac]

You're welcome Lavo.

 

If I may ask, why did you remove the Elite Mid R'oik ? It was a good asset to vong fleet and made it more powerfull counter-balacing the lack of attack abilities with brute force (And the fact you removed 25% of vong capital ships ^^).

[Lavo]

I removed as it was useless. It had no useful abilities at all, making it worse than the regular Miid Ro'ik (more expensive for nothing), and as the AI built too many of them. However, the regular Miid Ro'ik got a damage buff, so it actually has more raw DPS than an ISD-II or Nebula, to compensate for no real abilities. There is very much a chance that the Specialized will be re-added in the future, once we make more Vong abilities.

[Lavo]

Update: September 3, 2013 | Revision: 1093

 

Added new ship to the Republic, the Rothana Battleship. It is a fast, well-armed, warship. Reduced costs of all under 16 supply ships by 10%, and when applicable, swapped their metal and crystal costs such that they will cost more metal to build than crystal (interdictors have not been affected by this). BAC: Full Squadrons swapped out for an ion ability, ship costs reduced. Mon Cal AFC H ship costs increased. Removed Backup Shields from Viscount for balance.

 

Update: September 3, 2013 | Revision: 1094

 

Increased Capital Trade Ships by 50%, halved construction time of all fighters, nerfed All Out Attack, increased costs and build time of World Ship/Viscount/Executor by 30%, nerfed Mediator's Backup Shields, removed Defensive Tactics from MC80B and added it to the Praetor, fixed asteroid name bugs.

 

Retooled the normal/quick start feature of Sins into a Supercaps Enabled/Disabled option. Now you can decided to play with, or without, Supercaps in the game itself, no need for an addon for it.

[WarHawk_pff]

played just over 4 hours in, with CORE, CIS, and New Republic activated. started getting minidumps just as it was auto-saving. problem now is when i load up and after hitting single player, game crashes.

[Lavo]

When you've been playing a match for that long you're near the 2GB RAM limit, assuming you're on the beta. Odds are you're hitting said limit; unfortunately if that's the case there's not much that can be done.

[WarHawk_pff]

yes, i'm beta testing. how do i even load up a new game though, when it crashes when i hit single player. it didn't do that before i went over 4 hours. i guess it's unplayable.

[Lavo]

Wait, you're getting an MD when you go to the single-player menu? That's really weird... I recommend running SVN clean up and then SVN update to ensure you have all the right mod files, and also to verify the integrity of your Sins install via Steam. I can't reproduce this on Sins version 1.52 or 1.79, so it isn't dependent on that.
