Beach will be for the next vacation. This one is a stay at home. So no sand, just dirt and cactus. Oh and rain is forecasted for the week.

So is the distant suns mod working for the 1.2 patch? 

I waded thru the current pages, but am confused with the posts about DS being worked on and whether it's playable or not....

 

 

With all the new additions, what does this mod add to the current Diplomacy version that makes it more interesting/fun?

 

Thanks!

Works QUITE well actually. A few minor cosmetic problems mostly. Perhaps some pirate adjustments may need to be done... but it is awesome actually.

Hey guys I'm having issues patching the new release.  Is there a link to the exact downloads I need?

Dunno. I run fine. The number of planets seem to be a cause for more issues than number of ships for me.

And how big are the maps you play in?

Hi All,

 

Firstly let me say that this mod pack is without a doubt the most amazing combination of mods and its a pleasure to play them over and over again. This brings me to the pain I have had over the last few days with the update to Diplomacy. I just cant manage to download DS whatever I try, Be it a different computer or different net connection. The download ends abruptly and usually the resulting archive is between 30Mb and 100Mb which I know is wrong (I've tried downloading the full versions of 0.7 and 0.99 with no joy.

A I can't stand playing the vanilla version anymore (I tried and just ended up cursing the upgrade tree) I was wondering if you Gents have a mirror from another server I could try? Or if you could think of anything I could do to resolve this strange download issue.

Any assistance is appreciated and thanks again for this great mod (When I can use it I will be SOOOO Happy)!!!

I've created a Battlestar Galactica map for use with this mod and the Sins of the 13th Tribe mod, and wondered whether you'd be interested.

Distant Stars and Sins 1.2, yes it works as stated earlier.  Most of those posts were for the beta patching that was going on before the release of the official 1.2 patch.  We try to keep up with these things so that all of those helping out by testing the beta for Ironclad and Stardock, like myself, can still switch on and enjoy a game of DS.

But the reality is that you didn't have to look through any of the pages, just in the downloads section of the original post right under the word downloads where it clearly says Diplomacy releases and is immediately followed by 1.2 compatible and then followed by some links where you can download the version of the mod that is Diplomacy 1.2 compatible.  I know it's kind of confusing when it's all right there in bright yellow letters, but hey, I don't judge.

 

Okay, now the fun part of this.  New things added!  You could just read the introduction and the change log to find out, but who wants to do that!?!  People have suggested crazier things.

As of the most recent release, DS incorporates many fixes from TSOP that doesn't directly conflict with the improvements made by this mod to improve overall game play.  It combines half a dozen other smaller mods, such as celestial bodies and sins plus to add a vastly greater amount of planet types and sizes to colonize and adds in many new and original features.  There are dozens of new planetary bonuses, new and improved particles and other graphics, new and improves sounds, two new strike craft types (technically 4 if you count the elite strike craft), a few nifty "little" neutral structures to grab so far, new research items, all existing research was doubled making your research choices have greater effects on the outcome of your game, many research items were made to be much more potent (read that as powerful), new player pictures, (there should be new faction icons and maybe more colors to choose from in a future release), countless game balances, pirates were improved and are able to compete like a normal faction fielding capital ships and adding shielding tech to many of their ships (even though the Sins devs say this goes against Sins cannon, every time I've requested a look at it, no one has produced anything stating that pirates do not get shielding tech, which is retarded if you ask me because they rip everybody off, so how is it they can raid your colonies, tear apart your ships, steal your money and not at some point come across a shield generator or two???  But since you didn't ask, don't worry about it.), comes packaged with a few minimods to further enhance your game play depending on your personal tastes, and generally pretty speedy answers to all of your questions from how do I download this mod to how many lines of text does your galaxysceneriodef file have....  8444 by the way.  And many more things that would spoil all of the fun and excitement if I told you about them.

 

 

 

Oh and a bunch of smart asses like me.  =]

Looks good, the Team will be looking over maps etc in the near future to hopefully include some more in the final release of Distant Stars 1.0 (for Diplomacy only at first then entrenchment and maybe further down the line once the regular SoaSE one is rebuilt from scratch SoaSE too).

I have sadly found an incredibly annoying minidump error which I honestly for the life of me can't track down. I have a rough idea of what could possibly be causing it however there are no logs generated in the slightest for it so finding it is somewhat difficult.

Another minor issue that is also known about is the Random - Huge single Star (probably the multi star one too) is adding in No Atmosphere planets and Black Hole's which can sadly be AI breaking. Which wont be too difficult too fix just had bigger things to fix lol.

I have uploaded the latest version of Distant Stars for Diplomacy to the ModDB page as an alternate download link if people are having issues accessing my server. I know some foreign countries to the US & UK do sometimes have routing issues.

Anywho back to bug hunting for me

So i got all patched up and the galaxy forge maps are now gone.  I dont even see them in the download file.  I also am seeing the icons getting pushed between others and see two half planets any ideas?

RE: I changed the screen size and fixed the picture cut off but it was only for the portraits, nothing else, even the icon planets in game were off.

Thank you for the clarification.

When I saw two dl's in the 1.2 section and the note: 

Currently Uploading it will be done shortly, for now patch from B1 to B2

I was a bit confused.  It's not still "currently uploading" is it?

I'm dl'ing both files right now and will load one, then patch with the other (hopefully this is the intended way to proceed). 

Or is the full download the DS mod all bundled up with the entire sins game, and the patch is the mod without sins, but intended to load over sins?

This is my first Sins mod tryout, so thank you for your work and patience!
