Quick synopsis

This mod introduces the colonial and cylon factions to the Sins of the Fallen universe. Both races will be playable with any of the planets, addons, and races included in Sins of the Fallen including the stock races. Both the colonial and cylon's factions will be balanced against the stock factions to support this approach. 

 

Colonial Fleet

Relying on heavily armored and armed ships the colonial fleet is always on the defense looking for cylon incursions. Lacking shields of any kind Battlestar Point Defense systems are used to intercept incoming weapons and minimize damage to nearby frigates and cruisers supporting the fleet.

Ability: Cylon

Name: Cylon Infiltrator

Use: could be used by different Ship types to dissable different systems. (if you wished to give different support ships different features) ie. Utility1 (draidus blocking) dissable or make less effective either fire control or defensive field of fire.

Ok so here we have the update texture for starbase, by update i mean redone the uv to get the detail less random, you will use what you will like more :cylon:

No image because the texture is almost identical, but in better resolution, and some detail remove, some change place, and to be honest i'm to lazy to get the image  }:)

This is going to make me sound like a @!*%$, but I just don't think that the texture is right for the cylon colony.... The colony has a light grey, grainy texture (see below). At the moment, it looks dark and blotchy.....

It would seem they had many visions for what the Cylon colony would look like. Maybe you've also noticed the Basestars are not quite the same from the beginning of the show towards the end. 

The video reminds me thought the Cylon colony needs KEW, Autocannons and missiles. Hopefully Rebellion adds more than 3 weapon types.

Remapped Resurection
End of Aramil75's quote

I'd hate for you to do a lot of work on stuff that might not get used.

For example in this case my plan is to create an optimized uv-map that provides better coverage for the resurrection ship. This means each pylon on the outside of the resurrection ship will share the same area in the texture sheet. I also want the middle section to better resemble the screenshots in the movie.

I'd also like the middle glowy part to represent the team color when enabled.

Hey, for some reason when I export this obj to xsi I get Invalid Polygon Vertex Count errors when I run the convertXSI script.

The previous model didn't have this issue.

I have not touched this type software for "some time" so the practice is good for me. if you like it use if not i will not be offended. As for the optimized map if you are not currently looking at it I have the time so I might have a refresh on how it all works.

I'm not sure what happened to the obj, but went ahead and put this together with the previous obj.

What do you think? It's based on your boomer texture of course.

Well, i try to convert it my self and there was no error... I always use ASCI 3.5 when convert to xsi, or perhaps when you prepare the model you change something?? Well if you want i can post again the model, perhaps it was packing error? 

 

Here the model: (it will work with texture and .mtl file from previous package) 

http://www.mediafire.com/?77fgq1b60125o52 

I like your update version, my first look a lot random, and second a little to barren :cylon:

 

Well in the end it's your decision i will be happy with any way you choose to go ^_^

Interesting. I imported the *.obj into xsi and exported directly to *.xsi without modifications to test the export.

I did export in ASCII 3.6 is one difference.

I'm also using Softimage 7.5 which could be a difference.

Edit - something must have been corrupted, because I restarted xsi and re-tried and now all is working... lol. A mystery I don't really care to solve unless it pops up again on me.

Yep, Colony definitely has all of those. KEW, Autocannons and missiles... that is three weapons though? What other weapsons will you give the colony?

More missiles. You can only have 20 weapon points per bank/weapon. It just adds more pew pew.

Needs weapon points... This is a different texture from Koobalt's texture which is good too. Opinions anyone?

Well, don't be sorry for Koobalt. It's still his very fine model and base texture he put together. Any minor enhancements I make that are liked are simply gravy.

I apologize if you previously posted the link for the original Warstar with long base, but I cannot find one. If you could send me a link for it I will put a skin on it for the mod  :cylon:

Reply #372 from Sins Forums Top

No problem about texture, if my texture look good on a model that is total coincident. I personally like more what ZombiesRus5 made  :D

 

And here is the link for warstar:

Ability: Colonial

Name: Maison Radiation Sweeps

Description: Regular checks of your ships and crew using radiation harmful to Cylons decreases the risk of sabotarge.

Use: decreases the success rate of "cylon infiltrater" should be higher up the colonial research tree than its cylon counterpart giving the feel that it is developed to counter the threat. (should give the cylon player some time with very little resistance, but allowing the colonials to "catch up")

 edit:the resurrection ship OMG can of worms some faces/point attached, some not, although I am now winning! central section now looks more like TV version in size and shape.

Ability: Colonial (Galactica)

Name: If We Don't Fail Her (she Won't Fail Us)

Description: The dedication of the Commander & Crew to the older ships of the line result in a much improved survival rate. There belief that "she will not fail us" increases ship wide output.

Use: All weapons Increase output (damage done/rate of fire) & Repair crews increase work load speeding up hull restore. (or/and giving "x" hull points back). ie. the crews belief brings her back from the brink. (make it expensive to use, just not to expensive that it never does get used) does not have to be a huge effect, just enough for her to jump out etc.

Note: I think this would give the class a much better feel and make it more like the ship we all know (at the moment the Galactica class feels a little lost in the mix)

 

Reply #375 from Sins Forums Top

I am not sure the game would allow this (or you have the spare space for it)

Ship: Colonial

Name: The Blackbird

Class: Scout class vessel

Description: Improvements in ship design have allowed for small stealth class scout craft which can move between systems with very little chance of being detected.

Use: stealth Scout craft. High on the research chain.
