I just finished trying that. Made a account. No good. Tried twice.

Have you tried the nexusmods mirror?

It's definitely something wrong on your end. There must be something we're missing here.

What's the checksum you get when you enable the mod?

[PWOFalcon]

Checksum: 85717450

 

Not willing to pay to download from Nexus.

Nexus downloads are free.

[PWOFalcon]

When it gave the member fee, didn't realize I would of moved pass that. However, still no good with the mod from Nexus.

[Aunt Gruntie]

Checksum is correct.

 

Alright I have one last idea. Try running the mod in dev.exe, or just run it in windowed mode with the regular .exe.

[PWOFalcon]

Nope. In Dev, none of the mods even show up. And Window mod dose no change.

Have we gotten his system specs yet? That might help us solve this.

You'll need to copy the mod to the Dev folder

Yeah, forgot that bit. Once you boot the dev.exe it creates a mod folder for dev.exe. So do that thing.

That's normal I believe. Do you get any other errors?

Ah yes, the errors. Either just hold enter until the game starts or go to your settings folder and make "ShowErrors" False. In the public build there are more errors than there are mcdonalds, but they don't actually harm anything.

[PWOFalcon]

IT WORKED! omg... finally. Thank you all for the help. Don't know why it has to work like this but thank you

 

PS. Pretty much ever click I still get those sound errors. Will that always happen?

[Aunt Gruntie]

Goto: My Documents/My Games/Ironclad Games/Sins of a Solar Empire/Setting/rebellion.user.setting

 

Open that folder with Notepad and change "ShowErrors" to "FALSE".

 

Seeing how that dev.exe works if you wanna fiddle around with this anymore try running the regular game in windowed mode. Other than a resolution problem I don't know why this would really change anything. Hey, it works!

[drakelius]

I've downloaded from both Nexusmods and ModDB. When I apply the mod, it just goes back to the intro cutscene and nothing has changed. Mod checkscum is 0.

 

I've tried running the game full screen and windowed, neither of which make any change.

 

Any ideas? I'm running out of ideas

[Aunt Gruntie]

You dun goofed. Read the Readme

[drakelius]

You dun goofed. Read the Readme

"*If you've enabled the mod and nothing has changed you've not put the mod folder into the Sins mod directory, you've put the folder that HOLDS the mod folder into the mod directory. Pull it out of that folder and you should be fine."

 

I've put the mod into "Mods-Rebellion v1.82, same place as Sins of a Galactic Empire, which works fine. Is that correct? Because I don't understand what I need to do, sorry :<

 

EDIT: I managed to get the mod to show up, but now when I apply the mod, I get a checksum and everything, but for some reason, it seems to pause on the loading screen and when I tab out there's an error message. 

 

2 EDIT: I've also pasted the following:

 

TXT
Version 0
enabledModNameCount 1
enabledModName "SotP Alpha v_0_56_41820"

 

 

Into the EnabledMods.txt file, but still, when I load up the game, it loads vanilla rebellion - and then when I launch the mod, it just proceeds to stay on the loading screen, and when I tab out, it says Sins has encountered an error and needs to crash/minidump.
