Uzii:

Found a typo, which might (or might not) be the problem Lazerbug is having. At the beginning of your GalaxyScenarioDef.galaxyScenarioDef file, you have the following:

starType
designName "RedStar"
designStringId "IDSGalaxyScenarioTdypeStarRed"
orbitBodyTypeCount 1
orbitBodyType "RedStar"

My bad, Uzii. I looked back a couple of pages to check to see if anyone else had spotted this, and didn't see any mention of it.

Otherwise, great mod as always...!

Ohh I found a duzzy of a bug; or maybe it is something I did and am just stupid... Occam's razor......

I played a slightly edited random map where in were contained several derelict graveyards. All the graveyards in enemy AI space where filled to the rafters with enemy ships. I jumped into one with two lv 10, 4 lv 5-7, and around 50 various others and had my ass handed to me. All the graveyards where like this. I think the AI figures they are hostile and tries to kill them (my command ships kept designating them too). When they fail, since they are invulnerable, the AI keeps sending more ships... and more and more till 90% of the AI fleet is at graveyards. I suspect one way of fixing this would be to not set planet ownership, if that is possible, or set planet ownership to the local enemy AI in a hand made map.

Hey, first off i would like to say that your mod is fantastic!

I found it at 1.2, showed it to all my friends. We have been addicted to Sins for quite a while and after playing with your mod, we don't play it without. Unless your mod is on, the games seems boring and lacks spice. Well, i came up with a few suggestions for new planets, because i love seeing the variety. I have no need to actually see them added to the mod, just trying to contribute to, what i can tell, is the best mod for Sins i have ever seen.

1. A Agricultural planet. Solar empires have an immense number of citizens, and sometimes an empire might need to terraform an entire planet into a farm planet to help feed the masses, perhaps it was abandoned or the natives currently use it. Good for trade, as well as a tourist attraction to see all the beautiful farms and crops.

2. Maximum Security Penal Planet. Every government has a prison, i am suggesting this mainly after having watched The Chronicles of Riddick (yet again). Perhaps something along the lines of Crematoria. Which, in case you haven't seen the fore mentioned movie, was a barren planet that had an large underground prison that help the most dangerous of criminals in the area. Probably have good Tactical slots, but penalty to pop.

3. Research facilities. An entire planet that was dedicated to research, labs cover its surface. More likely to have an artifact, maybe an increase in ship production.

4. Ruins of an alien species. perhaps a planet that was more recently discovered that was covered in ruined buildings from a civilization never before encountered. good tourist attraction, perhaps has prebuilt (but shut down) turrets surrounding it. could be captured when you own the planet, similar to ship graveyard.

5. Jungle planet. Yeah nothing too new, you already have a forest planet. But i thought i would throw it in since a jungle planet would get more rain fall, even dangerous wild life. But would have good trade options because of the massive amount of varied flora and possible medicines.

Thats it for me right now. yet again Fantastic mod! can't wait for 1.4 to come out!

I used Korriban (from Star Wars) as an analogy to my brother. Abandoned or empty world, lots of ruins, some valuable stuff, but also maybe something...vicious lurking in the shadows.

Hey Uzii, first off awesome mod!

I've been running the newest version and I'm getting a MiniDump error that crashes the game. I'm playing on a random huge map, one star, as TEC, against one hard Advent CPU. The computer sends it's already damaged carrier towards one of my planets, my bombers kill it, and the game crashes shortly after the explosion, regardless if I'm zoomed in or not.

I did not notice any errors like this in previous versions of this mod.

Any other details I can provide, lemme know. I'll do my best.

Psion, I can't stress this enough: if you have a crash or bug in a mod, the easiest way to get it fixed is to enable logging in your user.settings file, and send the log to whoever made the mod. These logs really help, and if there's something going wrong that leads to the minidump, Uzii will be able to fix it.

just wanted to say that this is an awesome mod!

it incorporates meanwhile so many additions, it's just great!!

keep it up!   

OK, bug report.

The game crashes as a unit approaches to those added planets, when the the quality of planet is 'highest' in the setting.

When I changes 'highest' to 'high', the game does not crash at all. But I am too used to live with highest setting on planet quality. And it is more annoying since the quality difference in planets is more viable than other quality settings.

No single change made on both your mod and original game files.

It always happens in highest quality mod, and(found another one) happens in high quality mod when I try to see the custom planet around by rotating the camera around the planet.

With any race, any ships it happens to -it seems- any planets. The game version is 1.3

I can't get any log files -the game does not even has chance to dump. It simply crashes...


Edit : I used the preview mod and the game immediately did not crash. The texture/design of the planets are awesome. Nice work.

But after a while the game crashes when I rotate the camera around swamp planets. Did you use any special effects on those planets? Maybe my video card driver is the problem, but I had not gotten any errors/crashes on this game so far except with your mod.

OK, I did more testing, and sometimes it gives me dump files, sometimes it does not.

I am using windows Vista, all updated applied. Yes, I am currently using very recent video card driver, but let me try really latest one..

I tried everything you suggested and it still does not work.

Oh well, I guess the problem may lie on drivers and Vista, but I am not sure. Guess I need to give up on this mod.

If you used different method on 1.3, can I try previous versions?
