A couple of days back I posted about some issue I had. I got some great help then, but the issue stil is not resolved. Today I tried Diplomacy 1.31 with DS, I still have the same issue. I know this is being looked into, so I just want to let you know that the new release didn't change anything about that.

I keep getting a 500 error (internal server error) if you click the download in your previous post.

Look at your adress bar. For some reason the browser (or at least Firefox) adds some stuff infront, including the "yes you can". Just make sure that only the actual link is there and it's downloading fine.

Hello Stant and BadTune, is it possible for either of you to upload the modified entities file needed to get rid of the minidumps?

Been enjoying the mod alot for the past year, good job to everyone.

Thanks

I would if I knew how to upload on here, but I think for the most part it takes a second site, which I hold no account on any such thing lol

but you can get Notepad++ and follow the previous directions too, it's a simple fix =3

lol, using note pad will take you forever 'cause it doesn't recognize it's dealing with code and just lumps it all together.

Save yourself a headache, get notepad++   it's much easier and faster

badtune, the files are ALL TEXT(the exception is the files that have been bin converted), while the sins engine thinks they are code of differing types depending upon the file type.

Well yeah but certain files show up with blocked out sections or utter jibber jabber in notepad is all I meant with that

BTW: Harpo, do you know what file determines the frequency of planetary rings?

I wanna make rings appear more frequently, but I wanted it to be a universal change ;.;  I have to go into each planet's entity file and alter it apparently*sulks* you guys don't mind me doing it in DS do you?

Added: HA!! found it!! it's in the entity files near the bottom.... the standard chance for rings are.05? wth .05% that's not even funny x.x that's about the same chance as the lottery!!

 

anyway, I found it in the reference files for OG sins, I'm not sure about using a txt converter for the whole mod, i just want the planet's files only, can anyone slap them in an e-mail and send 'em my way with Uzii's planets? I wanna make my changes DS compatible

can't even find Harpo's bin to txt converter in the mods anywhere..even used the ever so rarely used search function lol, found the forum post but  couldn't find a link to the dl in there =X  I could possibly be blind though

This is a peek at the work in progress for the TEC Titan. A Kol sits next to it for comparison. It looks like a moving construction platform. If so, I imagine part of 'turning the tide' is having it build on the fly. Speculation, of course.

 

Me likey!  I think I need to start modeling a Vas competitor

QuestGiveMetalLow

 

Cool, thanks for the help. When I went searching, I found QuestGiveMetalLow in Distant Stars.  I did see the following missing though:

entityName "QuestKillCivilianModulesLow.entity"

This was located in the .\Diplomacy\entity.manifest file, but not the one located in Distant Stars. I copied and pasted it into the Distant Stars manifest, updated entityNameCount to 2202.  Did I do things correctly?

I was watching out for their Facebook releases and they posted this up. I had to copy the image to photobucket in order to get it here. Glad I can help bring a couple of smiles. Will watch for other updates, but they're actually only the early stages of design. They don't have Betas planned for months. If they make it out, it'll be by the skin of their teeth and might still require significant patching to balance.

@Stant123:

Fixed...  It had extra information in on the linked text so it would take you to the wrong place.  I always post the entire address of the place it's supposed to go to and if you hover over the link you should see where it links to, just because of something like this happening.  If they're not the same, copy and paste the text into your address bar.    Thanks for the head's up though.

That link again so no one has to run back to it:

I use my gmail account since the login is linked to google sites...  For the small stuff like the quick fixes and maps, and lore stuff, I just upload there and link here.  Recently, after taking over updating Mad Scientist, I had to sign up at Filefactory...  It's not really that big of a deal to get a file linked here.

For single file or small batch of file jobs, I use dekhranic's converter since it doesn't care what folder the file is in to convert it:

I've noticed that in several of the DS maps (one was Black-5 I think) that there is either no connecting lines to the stars/other planets so you are stuck in a two planet gravity well and in the one I think is called Ancient Gifts, even though I have the drive that allows wormhole travel from the start, it doesn't appear ships can actually travel through them.  On the the Medium Map selection screen, at the bottom of the list there is one called "String Not Found".  I installed the full download, not a patch.  Otherwise it seems to be working good!

I'm pretty sure you got a bad download.  My unmodified copy doesn't have any of those problems.

A note about black-5 though, phase connections to stars were left out on purpose, however you should be able to access the rest of the map via other planets.

About the wormholes, I've noticed a phenomena on random maps where the wormhole lanes sometimes go from a wormhole to a planet, leaving the other wormhole that it should have connected to, pretty much an unusable chunk of space.  But that is not an issue on pre-made maps as the lanes are added in manually as well.

Downloaded the first option, I don't have a Convertdata.exe or am I missing something(these sorts of things should come with at least a few guidelines x.x)

Harpo's tools wins =3 instructions on the interface lol, best place for them. Working out my changes, gonna see if I need a manifest or not with stacking it on DS but if I do that's gonna be a pain in and of itself. thanks again Stant =D and Harpo

 

Added Observations:Grass planet? that's new right? are there any other new planets I haven't noticed?

To each his own.  I use both, each has their strength.  If you want, PM me and I can give you better instruction on how Dekhranic's is supposed to be set up and how it works.
