You guys keep saying that there were some errors, but I can't seem to find anything wrong. It doesn't minidump when it loads, no "string not found", and when I play any of the races, nothing goes wrong. Was there a balancing issue, am I just lucky that my Sins seems to work, or is there something I'm missing?
So what went wrong? o_o

Several problems happened...
Firstly, the torrent version was actually different from the installer version.
Although the torrent was working, it had the Covenant and Forerunners as playable factions. While some may see this as a benefit, they were (and still are, btw) horribly unbalanced, ugly, and not up to our quality of work... The files were also in TXT, not BIN, which meant they were more system intensive.
Meanwhile, I had converted the installers' entity files to BIN format. Unfortunately, the conversion was bad, which meant that the files were corrupt. That's why those ones all minidumped.
Basically, both the releases were very bad and not what we wanted. That's why we're re-doing it.

Thanks, so basically: corrupt files, wrong format, and stuff that we are not meant to see. Also, it seems as though the folder in the torrent is an .svn archive, how so? And the UNSC is all there, with the exception of the Cradle?

it is basically the cradle with the gorgon model. they do exactly what the cradle will do, so there is basically no difference. i have 10 of them in my fleet and they do a very good job of keeping my ships alive.

That's another thing that shouldn't be there, although that's password protected... that's access to our internal dev SVN. Don't go trying to use that to download updated copies of the mod, cause that won't work, but that's what the .svn is there for.
And yes, the cradle is the only thing missing

technically, the model is the only thing missing, which i can live with personally. ive seen the cradle, and it looks very good, though i always imagined it as a giant flying square for some reason xD

Can you please not make it an installer? Or release an installer and manual install version? I just find manual installing easier.

Easier than double-clicking an exe?

Less chance of breaking
I'd just rather do it myself. At least then if it fucks up I'll know it was my fault.

dude, it wipes out all the regular files in appdata and puts the mod in. supposed to have the files for entrenchment, diplomacy, saved games, recorded games, and like 3 others, the installer deletes all of those.Lol nothing was wrong with the installer, I f**d up the mod files that I used FOR the installer
