You have peaked my curiosity, for I am interested El-Vi-Riachi.  I would like some samples if you don't mind shring them with me.

Interesting...I haven't heard about that particular issue.  I'm assuming you've tried to simulate this minidump to make sure it's a consistent problem?  If not, try it and see what happens.  If the problem persists, I suggest deleting the mod and redownload in case a file was corrupted.

At the risk of sounding rude, I'm going to ask that people please not make these types of suggestions or requests, some of which are impossible or nearly impossible to accomplish.  We all understand that many of you have particular things you want to see in the mod, but believe me when I say everyone on the mod team has their own personal list of things they'd like to see added to the STILL UNFINISHED mod before we start working on what other people want.  This all goes double for the Borg and Dominion factions.  Rather than spout off what you want to see, please find a more diplomatic way of approaching the matter (yes, I realize typing that in this type of rant is quite ironic), such as asking if we have plans regarding specific ideas with such-and-such faction.  It's much more pleasant to read.  Trust me. 

In fact, if you'd like to see changes in the mod or would like to see some new features added, why not consider learning how to mod and offer your help.  A complete conversion is an absolutely massive project that literally takes entire months of man-hours from each member of the team.  Since that time is in addition to work, school, family, friends, etc, I'm sure you can all understand how much of ourselves we are pouring into this mod, and also why we'd rather have offers of help rather than requests or suggestions. 

I apologize for my rant, but I'm tired of reading critiques, suggestions, and requests, especially when we're still busy adding oodles of content in every update.  Lulzifer, this is most definitely not directed at you, and I am actually looking into upgrades of this type for the Borg.  Unfortunately, your post was the straw that broke the camel's back.

I would not want to release anything until SOA2 team take a look and give their blessing. This may even be a sub mod. All I have done and am still currently working on is balance the level of all the sounds so one thing isnt louder than the other so you can hear federation and borg weapon fire, rather than just the 1 due to the volumes of some currently. Works pretty well. I have replaced some sounds for my own personal use and used a couple of sounds from multiple ST games.

It's a general AI problem. If you save a game and load it back as a different player then the AI does nothing for the race you were playing as.

Just a fyi our sound guy aka ghettomire is back in the lab cooking up some new sounds .  But by all means if you have something new we dont have or you think is  awesome drop us a line

I have been running into a few stability issues these past few weeks. I am unsure if they should be reported or anything. Im running Entrenchment 1.05 with the most recent mod files and it seems that the game just crashes randomly every 15-30min on a constant basis. I have been unable to find any pattern and I have reinstalled the game with no luck. Mod is amazing but it can get irritating to play with these crashes so frequently. Any ideas on what may be happening? Also you guys interested in the dump/crash files?

Thanks, will give it a shot. Right now I do have everything maxed so I will lower everything to medium and see if that changes anything.

Ok guys it seems the 2 gig dump bug is back with a vengence, and that is a general sins bug. That is prolly why you guys are experiencing random warp speed trips back to your desktops. It doesnt matter how powerful your system is, but guys with just 2 gigs of ram will experience it more than guys with 4 gigs. Sins still has a VERY bad habit of dumping when you go over 2 gigs of ram. I play VANILLA Diplomacy on my 4 gig laptop and i crash randomly when the map starts filling up. So the memory leak comment has merit. It is also a bug that sins had for a very long time.

Reduce your graphic settings. Disable roids, dustclouds, planet rings, planet elevators, and other stuff not necessary for the mod. Disabling skybox's frees up TONS of ram. Disabling Bloom increases performance tremendously. You can keep the ship details, and bump to highest because most of our ships use a lower resolution texture than vanilla sins.

SoA2team be careful what you upload to sync. the sounds, and other issues were fixed already, but it seems the old broken files found their way back in the mod. Which means our work is being overwritten. Use the separate folders like the original plan.

Good to hear!  To be honest I really have not experienced any of the random dumps, however i do keep my settings at the defaults. Just a fyi to all .  A little progress report on things.  Saul is almost done with the dominon starbase.  We also have a model finished for the dominion orbital weapons platform. Eomega is getting the the klingon ships ready. On the coding side we also have some new abilites. and a few new particle effects. Not to mention more sounds are being worked on as we speak.

thanks jtaylorpcs

That also confirms it is the sins 2 gig dump issue. I just hope i dont have to nerf the mod textures any more than what they are now because of this.

Progress on the 0.5 series. Federation faction is finished. with the Oberth as the diplomatic ship. All existing mod meshes checked over (for the federation), Mesh Nulls that needed fixing are now fixed. Nav lights added to ships, and structures. 1/2 scale implemented. Some ship firing arcs revised (example constitution can now use aft phasers). Some ships mesh errors were fixed, but not all of them because those fixes will require complete model rebuilds. For now i am leaving those meshes alone. Should be able to wrap up the feds by this weekend then move on to the klingons.

I turned things down and alot of things off, and my save still CD in a few min. Not sure what to do.

How many AI do most of you fight, for me its 7. Should I restart a game with just 5 counting myself.

I just have entrenchment from Impulse, and its v1.05. I don't have the trinty dvd, do I need the other add on.

I have the same problem with other mods as well so I do not think that its this one causeing the CD. I agree with the Mem leak as other mods are crashing.
