Could you give a little insight as to how the ressource system works? I mean the offer and the quantity offered. How does that play a role?

Hello, I've played the mod a few times and I tend to get crushed most easely. So I wondered if any of you had some strategies that makes-it a little easier to survive the AI and possible to actually take some planets to the neutral AI without wasting much time?.

Yeah right... problem is I'm playing at easy and I still get wiped out. I've read strategies anywhere I could and it took load of time and I still can't seems to get thru. Learn to manage... you bet ! It takes an awful lot of time to do so. I've played around 15hrs of Soase and I still have loads of difficulty to beat the AI. You know what, if I loose all my time in "learning to manage", I might not have time for real life. Heard about that? And just so you know, nope, never crumbled under ressources. Never. Hence the reason why I'd like to be able to do that modification.

Is there something I could actually do to get them free for myself?

Well, you may like the reality, but this is a game and as such, not the reality... anyway, that's too bad...

Usually, in sins, when you build your 1st capital ship, it's free. Why not in SOGE?

Do you think it might be related to your OS?

It would be nice if #3 and #4 were used for event "There are no more researchs available in troop domain".

I'd like to play this mod, but honestly, it is so complicated. Anybody can tell me exactly what do I need? There are 3 Sins game now: Diplomacy, Trinity, Entrenchment. Which one would I need to buy? Where can I buy-it? There doesn't seem to be a Sins of a Solar empire regular anywhere. I know where to find the Entrenchment Expansion pack, but it says I need the aforementionned version and all they'll sell as the "full" game is trinity, which seems to be more recent than this mod. Please, if you could tell me exactly what I need to buy, that would be great.

Ah yes, "incite uprising" it is. Anyway, I've noticed there is no point in doing such mission. The AI (be-it alliance or empire) is dumb enough to put some troops on worlds that are not loyal enough to tolerate those. Therefore, all I ever need is to bombard those troops or sabotage them and what's done is done, the whole sector want to join you...

Spy-> spy Infiltrators-> sabotage + abductions/rescue +?sabotage death star Commandos: sabotage + provoke/repress insurection Noghris -> abduction/rescue + assassination recon-> recon guerillas-> provoke/repress insurection Provoke insurection is based on leadership and combat Rebed let you switch a character for one. On other words, there should always be as much rebels as there are imperial. By the way, it is possible that you did not yet recruit those changed characters.

Not gonna happen.

Yippe! *Downloads the file with haste*

Bah, it's been a while sincethe upload system has not worked, I think. Here's a tomporary solution: find a website that host files and upload them there and post the links here: mediafire rapidshare.com megaupload.com ...

Hi, I want to replace a .wav by another with ressource hacker. When I try to do so, a window pops-up and ask me to give a "ressource type", a "ressource name" and a "ressource language". I don't wnat to mess-it up, so I wanted to ask you what should I put in there to make it work?

I'd be able to test-it on W7 and WXP, if you fish so

Yeah, that would be nice that you finish this Meanwhile, I'm having fun at goofing around with this game. Did you say I can get a 200/300 pixel for planets? Because whenever I'd take higher than original, nothing would show up... Anyway, I don't think I did such a great job. You see, my way to bring things ingame is much more time consuming than the original one, though the result in color loss are generally better. Usually, what someone do is copy the planet image, slap-it on the icon with the right pallet and reduce-it to the right size. Doing that brings horrible result and a loss of information color that is inadequate in my opinion. What I do is that I save the palette, turn the planet icon into RGB instead of the rebellion palett and THEN, I copy the planet on the image. That way, you usually do not loose very much image information (vs copying directly on a rebellion palette). When the correct size is attained, I just switch the palette to the rebellion one, but then I get some options you wouldn't get with the drag-and-drop copy. This allow for a better recolor. The only drawback of this method is that the outer pixels of the planets get recolored to different shades of blue than the original. In game, these blue are quite visible and annoying. The only way to get rid of them is to paint all those shades of blue into the invisible blue and you may have to work one pixel at a time, which is pretty long. To get good result, I had to modify them 3 times. Now here's my advice: if your going to do some planets this way, remove all the shades of blue surrounding the planet before you save. I didn't and working on/saving the .bmp's 3 times ended up in a slight (too much, at my advice) loss of color information. You can see by the lenght of this paragraph how perfectionnist this work becomes Edit: Is there a way to try your Remake?

Woop, made an error, they were from what you did (not Adas), right! By the way, are you modding rebellion or making your own rebellion II? If you are modding rebellion, I'd love if you could send me your pics, because yep, they come from that same picture and were especially hard to port ingame. (Practically did it 3 times.)

To be honest, I just took an old DLL from an old install and that's what hapened. Maybe I took your new layout, but I don't have the right encytext.dll as I'm using the mask's card space update so this is kind of fuzzy Anyway, I was not showcasing any new layout, but rather the new planets icons!

Well the Arc Hammer is not available anymore. Tried to contact the author myself and had no response yet (its been about one month or so). Concerning texture, I too had motivation sometime ago. But then looking at the tutorial, I became a little bit uninterested. Here's a website with just about everything you need: http://www.swrebellion.com/~the_mask/woodsboro/english/main_us.htm You want to hit the Rebellion section, then Model section. Download the 1st four files (including the texturing addendum) should give you the required tools.

Hi, I've been working on my rebellion interface for a while now. Priceps has given me this idea so I started to make my own interface. I like the results so far. I've changed a few planets also using planets image from Slocket's rebellion II. I'm going to show you the fleet interface. It is not perfect but I like the results so far. http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/y339/Mr_Phil_/rebFleetinterface.jpg http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/y339/Mr_Phil_/Fleetinterface.jpg I've had trouble with importing the planets in game. As you may know, I found a way to import picture wich conserves a higher degree of acuracy to the imported picture. However, this method has its drawback: it also makes part of the surrounding blue become darker. Because of this, it looks like the pictures get a blue aura in game. Removing the blue is long and everytime you do it, you loose some quality and color information. Here's the result, anyway: http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/y339/Mr_Phil_/Planets.jpg

Ah Tex! Thank you, it worked! However, now there is the matter of re-sizing the window. (Damned microsoft lol...)

Any guess on what the other ones might have been intended for?

Is it me or are these unused by the game? http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/y339/Mr_Phil_/Rebellion/ymc3.jpg http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/y339/Mr_Phil_/Rebellion/tfisd3.jpg http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/y339/Mr_Phil_/Rebellion/trainno2.jpg http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/y339/Mr_Phil_/Rebellion/trainno.jpg http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/y339/Mr_Phil_/Rebellion/bobacaptures2.jpg http://i1027.photobucket.com/albums/y339/Mr_Phil_/Rebellion/bobacaptures.jpg
