WE ARE NOT DEAD!!!

Hello! It’s been a while! Unlike previous updates, I am a developer named DJ CheeF. I’m from the original mod team and previously worked with Wildstar on FYOF and his youtube series Saga of a Space Battleship.

Recently, the tools used for modding Sins have stopped working on Wildstar’s computer. I don’t know if it’s a Windows 11 issue or some weird crap, but regardless, XSI just doesn’t work anymore. In light of this, he’s diverting all of his energy to making the Sins 2 version of the mod and giving full control of the Sins 1 mod to me. Because of this weird arrangement, it’s pretty damn possible that the Sins 2 mod may actually be in a more playable state before the Sins 1 mod. Sorry if this all sounds like grim news; it’s just me being as transparent as possible. I’m going to be posting every update/dev build possible on here, so in the event that progress stops or I drop off the face of the planet, something playable as a basis will remain.

Also all files are editable in Notepad and Notepad++ so go crazy, I encourage it!

Anyway, changes for this build:

The model for the EDF’s Titan has been changed to the Yamato as seen in Saga of a Space Battleship (ABOVE). The regular capitals for both EDF and UNCF have been redesigned entirely. (BELOW)

The Yamato and Musashi Capitals have been remodeled to reflect the look of the 1998 redesigns of the original series. (above) Below, as you can see the remake designs are also in the game files but I have yet to figure out how to link them to their own faction if that makes sense. They are in the mesh folder as RemakeYamato and Ginga so if you want to swap them go ahead!

also the UNCF Titan got a minor texture update

also Cosmo Tiger II’s have been added along with the Black Tigers!

also we have a new ship addition! The Ajax Automated Cruiser!

there’s some problems with the shading on it and I haven’t figured out if it’s the tangent or normal map but I will get to the bottom of it.

Eventually the end goal is to make it so Both Original Series and Remake factions will be playable.

FUTURE UPDATES:

Hopefully the next update/dev build will have atleast 1 enemy faction or 1 enemy ship added.

Thank you for your continuous support over the years and please look forward to the next build.
