about that AI vs. graveyard thing if it includes the AI spaming ships in the graveyard, could you possibly make it so its ally to everybody, or maby a non unit, that spawns a unit when captured.

also uzii are you thinken about the thign i said were ever planet has a season?

oh yah, i think i noticed an error, for you planet bonuses when you put planet cost, you make it a plus insted of a neg, they swaped it, if its possative its a good thing if its neg its a bad thing, so for building cost (ntocied on planet insurgency) you made it plus% so it acualy helps (if this is ment then nvm)insted of drops.

EDIT- srry its the opposite, build time is weird.

K...

Firstly, AWESOME MOD!! Words can't express how much fun it's been .

I was wondering a few things about some of the planets. The Old Naval Base and Relic planets seem a little weird in that I would expect things like that to be planet bonuses that could appear on any of the others, but am I right in thinking the special abilities can't be done that way?

Also, about the trouble people seem to be having with Relic planets and AI, is there also a problem with Swamp planets? The colonisation "seasons" seem like the kind of thing that could really confuse an AI.

You mentioned you were looking into making more neutral areas for 1.4... how about a Shattered Planet? Sort of like Alderan I suppose, but for gameplay purposes like a rich Asteroid Belt, with several neutral resource asteroids for grabs (possibly emphasis on metal, for the remnants of the planet's core).

Also, for the Industrial planets, can I suggest an "Plentiful Scrap" ability, with a small increase to metal rates and reduced construction costs (with recycling)? Perhaps "Abundant Scrap" as a more powerful version, with reduced population as well? I was thinking this would be a way to incorporate a Junkyard planet, but I didn't think it was unique enough for its own type...

Again, great mod!!

Just a random question. Will 1.3a of this mod be compatible with the Retail 1.4 that is coming out later this week? Or will all the mods have to be subsequently updated?

HEY!

I was f-ing around with my game today and i decided to put the graphics to a minimal, then try the mod out....1,2,3--BAM....the mod works... my crash dump error hasnt shown up and Ive played 3 full (short) games today with the mod... If you seem to crash with a mini dump and ure running planet detail on very high, try turning it down to high or even medium and play... it worked for me, could work for you...

UZii you should look into that (if high or low settings change your outcomes for a minidump), it worked for me so maybe theres a chance to make this game MP again... By the way lovin da mod 120% more since i can play it now keep up the good work

Sorry double post.

Mmm.. Can't edit my post, weird. Ubel, yes, they are both known to me, and I'll fix the Industrial Planet one in 1.4. It shouldn't affect gameplay though, and the GasGiant thing, I can't comprehend, it doesn't make any sense. Saying that however, in Sins 1.04 we have the option to find bugs and errors, which should be handy.

So would you say, as a temporary fix, that removing gas giants and industrial planets will stop the problem? Or does the game load these values regardless.

ok, my last post might have been confusing, and i think i was very tired at the time, so there acualy might not be a problem. ill check later >.> but i noticed a problem with orbital constuction specialists, tac slots are 4 insted of 5. kinda annoying, kinda not, but im guessing its ment to be 5.

EDIT- did the math wrong earlier, so yah no prob exept with the tac slots.

EDIT2- also im wondering did you change the map makers norm starter planets, cause they're all making me start with 1 urban, 1 ice, 1 valcanic. and i didnt doctor that one. also the bonus densities are 1.00 and artifact is .33 (howed you know how i liked those settings?) it was very weird if not.

EDIT30 about the gas giant error, and indy error, something is making the artifact lvl go higher then the entire games max, the gas giants probly is glitching with the games inability to handle extra coloization research. it fails to recognize the research and the game is missing a step to fall back on if something goes wrong, the comp cant reduce it too fix a bug and instantly increase it again (maby, sutch is a non buggy game i would think) so when it cant stay or go back, the comp crashes. it also might be that both in conjunction (indy and GG) make the comp break, something to do with planetbonus outpost. since it is 2 for min and max, making it -1 min explore lvl for now could fix the problem. since if the comp tries to make it 2 and make it have planet bonus lvl 2 when it can only have -1 it'll make the comp crash. <(thats probly the best choise.)
about the ignore enum value thing if this is true, it would help explain my proposal, if it cant recognize an extra research, itll continue on and ignore it, then when the glitch happens it falls, because it ignored the wrong value andmade it so it cant change it.

so either make no research (as a test version first) or make planetbonusoutpost -1min and 2 max.

@ bandw2
1. What? 4 Tactical slots, 5 Tactical slots? What difference does this make? I'm totally confused as to what you are trying to say here, please elaborate further.
2. No. Things like that are restricted to map files and options only. It is the map you played that did this, not my mod.
3. The errors:I know exactly the cause of the Industrial problem, and the Gas Giant one is something to do with research, but seeing as it has been in since 1.1, and no-one has even mentioned a bug remotely related to Gas Giants, I think we can safely say it doesn't effect the gameplay.

@ Carbon016 & CommanderAdama
Excellent to hear, the more of this I see, the more I think it must be something their end(the people with problems), rather than S+. Thank you for letting me know.

@ Cybdevil
Does this work with Sins Plus? I have a lot of new strings in my .str file, so if this is straight from the 1.04 reference data, it isn't much use. If you meant it was for S+, then thanks, I'll post the link when you respond

Thanks for all the feedback.

Gas Giants should be colonised by the AI, once they have the research. Ship Graveyards are probably not very compatible with the AI however, and I will work on that in 1.4, when I get started.

Thanks Uzzi for the quick response. Looking forward to 1.4.
