Hey Matt Hadder, great work! I just wanted to point out that your combo includes files from Endless Genetics by ZZGashi but it isn't mentioned on the content list. Was EG a part of one of the listed mod or something like that?

Hey all,

I just downloaded this combo pack but I don't seem to be able to start a game. Here is the screenshot:



Running ES on a Mac via Steam.



Thanks in advance for any help!

I seem to be having the exact same problem as Sigilo here. Has anybody found a solution or the cause of the errors?

I don't think the author has updated it since the new Vanilla/Disharmony expansion came out.

Any chance that someone updates this? Pretty Please

The only one who can update this is the author himself... It seems he is gone sadly

-snipped!-

Would love to try the mod and get it to work, however I'm running into the same bug as listed above. Not getting it to show up in my mod list at all!



Any suggestions would be awesome!

I fixed Index.xml.

The issue was that ReleaseDate in the description of the header needs to have two digits for the month and day.

Today is not 2013-6-23.

Today is 2013-06-23.



I am uploading a hotfix and a new version.

If you already have v1.0.1, you only need to download the hotfix.

If you do not have v1.0.1, you need to download v1.0.2.



Please check the original post for download links and instructions.

Downloaded the mod and enjoying it greatly. I am at turn 30 and everything is working great so far. Great job bringing some of my fav mods back to life and a shout out also to the creators. THANKS!!!

Nice will download...



Already Had most of this done but yours has a little more lol except I already have tiax added in :P. (Had Imperium Aterna, Scions, colored anomalies, galaxy gen, and Tiax Planet Expansion + Anomaly Overhaul)



will have to see how the other mods fit in. Couldn't get Pirate appeance to work when I was merging them personally, how did you get it working without the "NullReferenceException" errors?

Are you going to attempt to consolidate with Disharmony or wait a little while until all the kinks are out?

Sweet. I am really glad that somebody else is enjoying this as much as I am. I really enjoy hearing about your enjoyment.

Thanks for the DL and the comment - it means a lot and puts a fire under me to keep working.



Pirate appearance was not the issue for me. Playable Pirates seemed to be causing the NREs.



Now that at least three people seem interested and the effort won't be solely for me, tiax will be coming next, and soon.

I am going to consolidate after the summer sal-KINKS. DEFINITELY waiting on KINKS..



INFO on UPDATE



Combo Pluss v1.0.2 is currently running flawlessly on Endless Space CLASSIC v1.0.87



I will be consolidating with Disharmony after the initial bugs have been worked through.

Since disharmony is giving me many errors I'm gonna check this out on classic Dayum mate you're fast

Love what you have going here, I've been working on a similar compilation myself (to much less avail). If you're looking to add more mods, there's an old Sandbox mod somewhere in the Mod Mall thread. It was essentially a "god mode" option for games, and it was quite fun for screwing around. It added a good bit of trait points allowing you to get any attributes you wanted, but it also contained other modifiers that allowed you to have massive populations, fleets, infinite happiness, etc.

Thank you, sir.

Life will be getting very busy for me in the next month with looking for another job and a new room to rent.

Soon school will be coming also.

Though, this compilation will surely continue as I gain much enjoyment from it.



It seems that you already own Disharmony.

Have you tried to work this compilation into the DLC?

If not yet, would you mind?

Thank you a ton for the kind words.

It seems that some people have already figured their own ways of merging their favorite mods.

I just thought to release mine, as the only option that I found was the broken Midwerkz Inc. combo.

I was under the assumption that Sandbox was no longer compatible and working correctly.

Either way, that sounds fun to me.

I'm going to work on that after Tiax.



For a temporary solution to Sandbox GM, Traitful Factions along with selecting every trait makes you nearly invincible - even on Endless difficulty.



Expect another release by Monday.

I may just do Tiax and Sandbox in one fell swoop.



Thanks for the replies, everybody.

Your feedback is what keeps me working.

When I try running this mod with Disharmony the game loads it but switches to Classic when reloading.

I got a error while trying to set an exploitation to a custom planet, I guess something is missing in the xml's

You are a champion. Thank you for the effort!

So did this error occur on CLASSIC or with Disharmony?

It seems like you are saying that you can start a game of Disharmony with the compilation, but if you reload it (from a save?), ES reverts back to CLASSIC.

Is that correct, or did I get that wrong?

Currently Contemplating

I was playing around with Endless Space again and decided to check out the modding capabilities.

I was not thrilled with the single mod restriction, but it is understandable and very easy to work around.

My searches for combo mods ended with Combo Addon for Imperium Aeterna by Mindwerkz Inc., but I found it unstable.

Mindwerkz Inc. had everything correctly compiled, but Playable Pirates posed a problem.

Once I added this to any selection of mods, the game spat out the NullReferenceException errors and never started a game.

After grabbing some individual mods from the Shopping Mall thread, I began work on compiling my favorites into one usable mod.



tl;dr: Old Combo Addon for Imperium Aeterna doesn't work for me, here's a new one.



Without further adieu...

Are you tired of not being able to add a specific trait because you are two points over the limit?

Do you want to decimate the universe and crumble any standing empire by turn twenty?

No longer shall you feel that fiery wrath burning inside of your soul like a thousand suns.



This mod adds an anomaly trait that subtracts 2500 trait points from your total.

This is included with Combo Pluss, but this is a standalone version.



tl;dr: I want to play an all-trait having superfaction

I will be attempting a merge with Disharmony after the initial bugs have been worked through in the DLC.

I uploaded a hotfix for the Index.xml to run with Disharmony, but I am unsure of its potential success.

I do not own the DLC, so I am asking you brave individuals to try it out and let me know how badly the game crashes.

I do not expect Combo Pluss to mesh well, I would just like to know for real-real.
