In SoaSE, there is a dev version of the base game you can access, which lets you pretty much do anything ingame (correct me if I'm wrong). SotP is an example of a mod that also has a dev version to it (NOTE: I am not talking about the PT build, I'm talking about the public build that is released right now) which you can access with a few "easy" steps.

 

Step 1.

Locate and enter 

C:\Users\NAMEHERE\Documents\My Games\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion.

 

Step 2.

Copy files from "Mods-Rebellion v1.82" into "Mods-Rebellion v1.82 Dev". If it asks, replace the enabledmods.txt in the folder with the newer one. Then go back to main folder.

 

Step 2.5

You need to launch the DEV version first before doing Step 3. You can find the .exe file at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion. Open the "Sin of a Solar Empire Rebellion Dev.exe" and close with task manager.

 

Step 3.

Go to the "Setting" folder and open "rebellion.user.setting" with notepad.

 

Step 4.

Find "Show Errors" (Press ctrl+f and search it. It's much faster)and change TRUE to FALSE.

 

Step 5.

Locate and enter

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion.

 

Step 6.

Find the executable file "Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion Dev.exe". Open it to start running dev version. (NOTE: If window appears showing errors/breaks, open task manager (ctrl+shift+esc) and force close the window. Then repeat Step 3-6.)

 

Step 7.

Enter a match and press "control + shift + period (.).

 

Step 8.

Mess around and have fun!

 

This guide is for newcomers and anyone who doesn't know about the Dev version of the game. If you would like to critisize about "OMG I ALREDY NEW TIS Y U PUT DIS ON HERE11!11111!!1" then please don't reply. Thank you!

You need to launch the dev exe at least once, or that error setting will be reset. So you should add that in before step 3. Other than that, good write-up

Thanks for the feedback!

sorry to be technically... lacking...
but how different would this for the Non-Steam?
if you wouldn't mind doing a write up for that, it would be helpful...
if not, eh... it's for nothing more that completely scientific purposes... mostly

Yeah theres not much different from the non-steam version. (Correct me if I'm wrong) I believe the only difference between the two is the location of the executable files, but I will do more research and will most likely make another thread (Possibly) for the non-Steam.

Err, I don't think there's a non-steam rebellion version......

Trinity non-steam is exactly the same though, except that the user.settings file is stored in a different location

oh, was just asking for a friend of mine, although i found out that his computer was a hand me down from a buddy of his and it already had the game installed... but apparently his friend... torrented the game... my buddy already has uninstalled the game and bought a new version via steam...

Glad you finally coughed up the money. The multiplayer is worth it alone (on sale).
