i work with a mod team making a total conversion mod and need to know how to convert from 1.05 to 1.16 and entrenchment 1.02. if anyone knows how to do this please contact me.
*edit* this is converting a mod sorry for the confusion.
I don't think that's what he ment. I think he is asking how to convert the mod itself from 1.05 to 1.16/1.02, not the game.
I don't know how to do everything, but for textures, I belive that you have to switch the -cl and -da (don't quote me on that, though). Other than that, however, I have no idea.
The fact the thread is in the modding section is the give away me thinks.... 
well i guess ill start there i know that the ship files have to be editied and im working on that
Wow thats pretty old version to convert. I'd be tempted to take a vanilla v1.16/v1.02 installation and rebuild the mod from scratch, copy/pasting what you can... but probably rebuilding the entity/string/manifest/research/ability files from the originals.
well i now have my models in game it was a lot simpler then i thought thanks so much guys.
I usually don't self-pitch, but https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/343929 gives you some suggestions for a good tool to use, and a sort of walkthrough on using one of them.
also if you need the 1.16 & entrenchment 1.02 unofficial reference files they are available here.
hope these help

I got Beyond Compare a few days ago and you and Ironclad weren't kidding: this is an amazing tool, not just for Sins but for everything, and it makes updating things a snap. It's expensive but highly recommended.
Well it's got the trial and there are ways to reset the trial period as well (namely just wiping registry). But yeah, really any good folder comparison program should make mod conversion a lot easier and faster, Beyond Compare is just one I had experience with so that's the one I did
