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.

Looks good... Unfortunately this time I am for sure getting two "FAILED VERTEX CHECKSUM" errors when I convert to XSI :(

Are you getting similar on your side?

Sins of a Solar Empire II
Reply #403 from Sins Forums Top

A yes i have them to, and i have no idea whats wrong  :annoyed:

i check the model in wings and in meshlab, no holes, no isolated verticals, all is teselated...

i'm checking each part of the model, we will see what part of the model is making the problem   

edit:

ok so the problem is in biggest part of the model, the one i leave with original teselation and segmentation ...

i will try to do it once again will post once i have something to report...

I really think that we should give players the option of building a basestar from TOS. They are pretty awesome and I'd love to have the option to build them.

I really hope this model works out for you Koobalt.... it looks sooo good! This is so exciting - cant wait to play it!

FYI - I am going to have a go at Cylon voice clips for the game.. was wondering though, is this a copyright issue if I record clips from the series?

Sadly it will be copyright issue, to use this voices you would need to buy a soundtrack with terms of use like TobiWahnKenobi for B5 mod... 

 

About the model, i manage to reduce the error to 1 by making the triangulation manual, but still that lives one more... I thinking about remaking this part and once more making seg/uv and texture...

You can try to send a mail to the CR owner, stating that it is for a "none-profit" mod.

Hey ZombieRus5... What do you think about my idea to use the Resurrection Hub as the Cylon superweapon?

End of Cylon_Luvr's quote

It's on the table at this point. 

What would you envision it's ability as?

 

Reply #411 from Sins Forums Top

One possible ability for a Cylon superweapon would be to summon a small fleet of Cylon vessels at the planet bombarded by the cannon shell like a more offensive use of Returning Armada.  The ability could cost credits to fire and have a hefty cooldown, preventing spamming.  Could be called "Deploy Ambush" or something similar.

Reply #412 from Sins Forums Top

Well about resurrection hub as super weapon the non combat ability could be giving exp to friendly cap ship in targeted system, and offensive something like advent super weapon bombarding planet with cultural bomb...

 

the non combat station and culture beacon is a pain, when i see this model i lose all will to do anything...

No worries. I have an idea how to texture these guys that will work.

I'm getting close to a rough playable version basically unbalanced with all the models in. Hard to give dates, but as soon as they are playable without things like strikecraft appearing millions of light years away I'll release what I have. 

Personally I'd like to get something out for you all before the holidays here.

No problem, i wait some much time i can wait some more, i made another model for cylon culture beacon, will post image once i will make texture, about non combat facility i need really think... 

The bad news i barely cure one flu and i already catch another one  >:(

Hmm... yeah I'm thinking it should be like Returning Armada. Planets under Cylon control will spawn ships i.e. "resurrected" cylons...

Yeah, but it needs to be true to "resurrection" - when a ship is brought back it should have the same experience. The resurrection hub could have the "Returning Armada" ability, but also an additional ability where the last destroyed Capital Ship can be returned at the same experience level it had when it was destroyed. The cooldown for this ability would have to be huge though, because this is a powerful ability!

Sounds good!

I also think that only one Resurrection Hub can be built for the entire game. This will reflect the series... If it is destroyed, then the Cylons lose the ability to resurrect...

I'm still thinking about sounds for Cylon and Colonial... Not sure how we can get these without infringing copyright, or drawing attention to our mod (if we asked for permission). Any ideas ZombieRus?

Actually if we manage to get some audio software editor, we can record our voices and redone it to be mechanical sounding.

There is only one way to allow this. The resurrection hub would have to be spawned at game start which I'm not apposed to per say, I just wanted to point that out. I do like the idea of losing the ability to resurrect after the hub is lost though.

I don't know what the proper response is for this really. The current sounds for the Colonials are from Sot13t and are from TRS. Creating custom dialogue for Sins would be ideal as it would fit the game much better. I'm not really sure where to go if no one wants to step up to create the necessary dialogue. It can be done but would require a bit of work to make a script and get the voices recorded.

Well On Hardlightforums (freespace open(mainly))

We Compile a script for every action / message ( I am unsure how many we would need (I Assume a lot))

Then post the script and let people submit unedited recording versions, as we fill the list we strike them from the list.

Ideally the same person should try to do the full script for a ship. (editing and Cylonization can happen afterwards)

you must have a good stereo mic with no background noise. Has the PRO of getting different accents adding to the feel. The Con is the list as we need to define what each ship/class/race has to have said and after that type it out..... not impossible though.

You would have to ok/define the list before work started (and I know time is money!)

Well as far as i understand the hub will be a super weapon, so i agree that spawning in is a bad idea, but i don't quit know how this resurrection will work?? The super weapons mostly shoot something into another planet!

Hmmm... I disagree. I dont see any issue with the resurrection hub spawning from the start. There shouldn't be muliple resurrection hubs. You're thinking along the lines of what has been done before with superweapons - why can't we break the mold on this? I'm also not sure what you mean by "don't quite know how resurrection will work" - the ability already exists in Kyogre12's mod, and also as "returning armada".

Other option is that the resurrection hub isn't a superweapon at all... just a structure that is there from the beginning of the game that has a resurrection ability and once destroyed, cannot be rebuilt.
