so is there a link to the models or is this still WIP?

i totally want to make the basestar the pirate starbase

Wip i guess atleast until i get all the models swaped out and working. NOTE: the ships dont look great because of data texture errors da.dds i have not yet found a good combo to make the ships look right. I might not have time to fix that. We also have several cylon starbases that you might like better than that basestar for a pirate starbase .

I might release a few models here in a few days not sure yet.

My plan if i didint get any help with code and or effects to make an actual mod was to swap out/replace ALL the stock models and the icons to get the "BSG" feel. That for me is the 1st step. Tech-Colonial and Advent-Cylon Vasari-Eastern alliance and extras races in Tos.

 Now with a little help to figure out what to do i dont know for sure if a FULL MOD is in the works or not.

Either way i plan to convert to Sins and release all 50 or 60 BSG models modeled by our studio for any one to make their own bsg mods if so desired.

I also am in the process of converting Coxxon's Bsg models from SFM to sins some of which may be in this possable mod i would like to name "Sins of the 13th tribe the Colonial wars" if it ever gets off the ground in full.

Oh and Harpo99999 they do count i wana swap out all stock models

I wouldnt worry about it, i think i will have a model release this weekend i only have 4 or 5 models to replace then ill have the tech-colonial and advent-cylon slots filled and pics replaced. It is a good start for any one to get their own mod goin. The drawbacks are , 1 i havent had time to mess with the data textures . 2 I havent made brush < i guess there called icons for the game yet. {Im not sure how to do that other than pixel painting the ships or making mini renders of the ships which would be a real pain to do}. 3 the models use close to the same scale, same number and name hardpoints as the stock ships i replaced. So a true BSG mod more weapon points and stuff have to be added + things have to be scaled to the BSG universe.

My goal with this first release is to allow one to just change race and ship names and be able to use stock sins with a BSG theme. Or change nothing and still have BSG ships doin the damage. The only editing i have done is in the textures and mesh folders so it wont crash the game or mini dump on you .

I have noticed alot of sins stock abilitys are perfect already for BSG theme like advents reserect ability and tech missles on the marza etc.  If only i could get the ships to fire on the move it would rock as stock he he.

Sounds like an interesting project and would love to see how it it going. Am looking forward to trying it out. Congrats on the work, the screenshot look interesting.

Take care,

Here is some of what i have replaced at this point i still need to make mini pics of the rest of the replacements but this is what "has been swaped out" , i have these meshes online and i am working on the texture zip pack , i dont want to zip up the entire texture folder it would be over a gig itself as i have it now .  When i get it done ill release them bolth here asap to let the moders begin their mods. This will be {13th tribe V./1 test release model pack} the only model pack i will release that uses the stock sins hardpoints for = play. All other releases will be MOD related.

After i release this if any one that knows the data texture tricks and wants to help fix please let me know.

Hey what version is this for?

Also, can you tell me exactly how to download it?  You said it doesn't work like a regular mod

thanks

Just so you guys know, I am help out kreeargh to turn this into a real mod, with the Colonials + Cylons being their own races, etc. So if you don't want to do it yourself, you can wait a little while for me to finish. No garantees, but I hope to have something playable in a week or two.

till now i just want to play around with the cylon ships but if something will be added from your work to my mod i will ask you for permission. I just have an idea, of a "watcher" fleet protecting some ancient relics in space and the cylon ship design would be perfect. But before I add new ships and maybe a new race to the game, i have to solve other problems.

You made a great job there I hope you will finish the BSG mod in the near future. I can't wait to play it

well thanx for posting this mate im sure someone will pick it up and finish the mod now thanx again

a better way to do it is go into your mod directory and create a new mod folder "BSG" or somthing along thos lines add the tex and the mesh folders to the bsg folder and than run the mod as you would any other than you can stac ur mods ect while keeping your offical as it is

Just wanted to update everyone on my progress. It's probably going to take longer than I originally thought. I got the Cylons and Colonials in as their own races, however, the TEC and Advent still use Colonial+Cylon ships, so I've been working on fixing that. Unfortunetly, something I did to try to fix that caused the game to minidump when you load the mod. Since there is no developer.exe for Entrenchment 1.02, I have to go back through everything to try to find the problem. Once I get it working, I'll let you know.

Greetings!
