What kind of program are you using? If Photoshop, its under the channels tab, where you have red, green, blue and (if exists) alpha channels. They are all seperate grayscale images. In the alpha channel, White represents opaque and black represents transparent with the gray values representing the intermediate transparency levels.

 

PM me if you need help!

Thanks for the advice, it was the ALPHA! Now problem solved with your help and Fileosoft's, too. And XRasor's as well.

Cheers!

This was the problem:

Now fixed:

My gifts for today are two in-game loading characters:

1 - Vorlon

2 - EA - Starfurypilot (custom design with large amounts of artistic license)

Click on banner for the link ...

Let me know what you think, ps my birthday today a PreAlpha v0.32 would make an excellent gift ...

But, I can wait for my present ...

I hope you finish the Loadingscreen.dds soon for inclusion in the mod. Can't wait to see Kosh giving me helpful hints

 

BTW I think we need to edit the brushes for all the Races to have loading screen Characters of their own. I will look into it when I have some spare time (and give you directions on how to implement them in a graphics file)

Enjoy the Birthday!

Brushes IIRC are the definition file for the image files. They tell the program where to find the pictures (file, position) and label them for use in the entity files

@ Holybeast

Could you enable the advanced logging and tell me the error message Sins is showing in the dialogbox? Should be displayed right before the Minidump. Do you have an AI assigned to the Shadow player? This is not allowed yet (the readme says so). Have you started a new game?

Anyone else experiencing the problem?

No problem

 

It's as of now impossible to use it for AI, because the AI expects certain things to be able to do which shadows atm can't. I plan for Shadows to have completely different game mechanics, so I'm not sure if AI will ever be able to play shadows. If you come across other bugs, please let me know, as there I'm sure will be many of them.

I always get this error after a while. Can anybody help me with this?

 

AudioSystem: LoadSample Failure: Not enough memory  : .\Sound\Effect_PlanetAmbience_Loop.ogg

 

Could it be because I'm using Win7 RC1 64 bit on 3GB of RAM?

 

Thanks folks

@da_snada

No, we are not. In B5, most ships do not move that dynamic (there are exceptions to that rule, white stars for example, but as of now, they are not planned, maybe later).

Sorry for being such a noob, but what do I need to do to install this and play it? I placed the files in the sins mod folder for version 1.17 but it shows a few files in the mod settings ingame. Even if I do enable one of them I do not see anything that allows me to play the mod.

Also, great work so far and hopefully we can finally have a great B5 mod!~

OK, Here is it. You need entrenchment 1.03. The mod folder (babylon5) needs to be in the respective entrenchment folder

C:\Users\*MyUserName*\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Entrenchment v1.03 on Vista / Win7

or in the respective userfolder on your winxp system.


When you start entrenchment, you go to options-> mods and enable the babylon5 mod

 

That should be it. You should also read the included readme.txt on what to expect and what not to do

Thanks for your interest and playtesting ... abilities are being developed with each release some ships have them/some don't have all of them:

Currently - PRE-ALPHA stage at the moment so there's a lot to look forward to!

just wanted to ask, how goes modeling, I know that was a big trouble for you guys before.

Tobiwahn would be the best to answer this, but it's progressing ... we have the resources/talent of the 7DS team available .. so things look promising.
