DOUBLE UPDATE: The file is up to stay. I hope...

http://files.filefront.com/TUM+Unfinishedrar/;10909285;/fileinfo.html

As many of you know, I can no longer play FoC.  :'( Because of this, I have decided to release my unfinished mod.

I'm not sure if it will even run. I cannot fix any bugs you might encounter, because FoC does not work for me. IF YOU WANT TO USE PART OF IT, EMAIL ME at 1upDerek@gmail.com.

Tell me if it still works!

BTW, there is an unfinished campaign included in the mod. I think I am the very first EaW/FoC modder to ever have accomplished this, and I hope it will inspire other modders in the future.

Sincerely,

1upD's Ghost

EDIT: I accidentally deleted TUM due to a mistake(I thought there was a fatal error, there wasn't)

Anywyas, I'm going to include some tweaks and updates in the next version, I'd like everyone who downloaded it to get the updates in the next version.

http://files.filefront.com/Halloweenzip/;12221038;/fileinfo.html

This small texture mod gives many land infantry and heroes special "Halloween Costume" skins. Some are just supposed to freaky, but most are actual costumes.

Extract the mod into your FoC folder, if you have something in Data/Art/Textures, you should back up the folder. To uninstall, just delete Data/Art/Textures.

If you have any problems or feedback for this mod, please contact me at 1upDerek@gmail.com.

i would rather find a way to get a .ala/.alo into the game with some sort of free 3D software if its possible otherwise im guessing im going to have a hard time editing existing models to make them look decent. so here are the pics

Its in EaW/Gamedata/data right now, and none of them show up in "custom maps" when I play.

Get it from my Mod-Tools site.

Be sure to read the instructions carefully on how to set it up and use it.

Thread was created for modders to share units amongst each other so if you got a unit you may reply. Comments are to be done in the sister topic. Any posts will either be put into the Slag heap or the sister unit.

Make sure to add a picture (big or small), Link, and any important information the topic surfer needs to know before getting their hands on it. And again if anybody decides to request or start a discussion please use the sister topic below. When the unit is done post here to make things easier to find.

Sister topic (Main Topic):

Screenshots and pictures go to this sister thread and models almost ready or ready to use goes in the thread your lookign at now.

http://pff.swrebellion.com/index.php?topic=3431.0 (Thats for pictures ideas and this thread here is for models to share to decrease spam)

Units to Share:

- none at the moment

I'm going to make 2 playable factions with minimal 20 heroes, ~5-10 non-playable factions, >100 planets and alot more.

Number one..I have a few models that will not show their textures.  I know the textures are applied and all, but when I view the models in game or in ALO viewer (which, by the way, says the textures were loaded) they just appear as a dull gray.  How do I make  the textures show?

Secondly, Ive been trying to make a space artillery cruiser with a siege particle beam based on the lancet's. However, when I deploy the ship, though all hardpoints are correct and all firing data from the lancet is in place, the ship WILL NOT fire...at all...do any of you know why?

You will need:

*EaW(duh)

*FoC(optional)(if you ever hope to put your skin on the internet, or use it awesomely)

*.MEG extractor

*A .tga editing tool that can edit Alpha channels (*cough* Photoshop *cough*)

*http://eliteforce2.filefront.com/file/DDS_Converter;29412

*A hex editor (I use Hexedit)

*ALO viewer(optional)

Ok, if you haven’t already(*gasps*), extract Textures.MEG, Config.MEG and Models.MEG. Go into the textures folder you just created. Find EI_TROOPER.DDS. Copy it. Rename it EE_TROOPER.DDS, or something like that, BUT MAKE SURE IT HAS THE SAME AMMOUNT OF LETTERS. I’m not going to write a photoshop tutorial, so work your magic. BUT FIRST the Alpha channel. Select any part of the skin. Make sure it’s the part(one of the parts) that you want to change to player colors. Now, with that selected, switch the alpha channel. Fill your selection of the Alpha in white. Once you’re done with that, select the all the white parts on the alpha channel, and ‘select inverse’. Then you can do anything to the rest of the skin(not the alpha!) You can still edit parts with the alpha channel, but I don't recomend it, especially if you want to make the skin dark! Once you’re done, save it, and open up the DDS converter. Convert it to .DDS. Wow, that was hard! Then, go into the new Models folder. Find EI_TROOPER.ALO, Copy it, and rename it ELITESTORMTROOPER.ALO or something like that. Now, here’s the easies part. Open up hexedit. *cues scary music* Ok, so that’s the hardest part. ;D Find all references to EI_TROOPER.DDS,(use the find button) and change them to EE_TROOPER.DDS. If you make a mistake….*gestures to comp graveyard* ;D Then, make sure EE_TROOPER.DDS is in data\art\textures, and ELITESTORMTROOPER.ALO in data\art\models. If you have the ALO viewer, open it, go into data\art\models, and check out your model. If you are displeased, make some changes to the skin. Now, time for the coding! Go into your new config folder, and find GroundInfantry.XML. Put it in data\XML. For this tutorial, your elite stormy will replace the field commander guard.

Replace

 	<GroundInfantry Name="Squad_E_Field_Commander_Guard">
	<Variant_Of_Existing_Type>Squad_Stormtrooper</Variant_Of_Existing_Type>

<Targeting_Fire_Inaccuracy> Vehicle, 5.0 </Targeting_Fire_Inaccuracy>
<Targeting_Fire_Inaccuracy> Air, 15.0 </Targeting_Fire_Inaccuracy>
</GroundInfantry>

Now, have a look at

<No_Colorization_Color> 255, 255, 255, 255 </No_Colorization_Color>

If you change those numbers, it’ll change the color of the parts of the skin white in the alpha in GC.

It goes like this

<No_Colorization_Color> amount of red, amount of green, amount of blue, 255 </No_Colorization_Color>

So have fun experimenting with that. In skirmish, that’ll be replaced by the player color.

Next(and most fun) step: If I wrote this tutorial right, and you followed it right, Play Empire at War, start a game as the Empire, and watch your field Commander squad! Now, I ask you to look at other tutorials, and experiment more. Soon you’ll see your own skinpack sitting on EaWfiles next to my own.

NOTE: I'm really afraid I made a mistake...If you find one, please tell me.

First off, this is NOT a Star Wars ship...in fact...its quite obscure, it appears in one episode of one anime (lolz)

Its the Capital Ship from episode 11 of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (its actually imaginative, as they're playing a computer game that resembles the minimap in EaW lol). Anyhow, I wonder if its possible to have it modeled/skinned.

Well, the probablility of this happening is downwards of 1%, but anyway, here's my half an hour's worth of work taking screenshots of the episode, and uploading it onto photoucket (yay)

Well, I hope someone's bored enough to do this lol.

Here Begins the screen captures:

Dunno why I have this one there...shows the main cannon charging, zooming up to the command bridge where the commander (ok, Yuki Nagato) orders the fire.

If you all think I'm crazy go ahead and ignore this, but it'd be nice to have this lol. Like anyone would care besides me

EDIT: Now I notice that G_S's forum would be a better place to put this but meh.

Hello EAW fans,

For those who played and loved Warlord 6.0 - here is what WTME 7.0 will bring to the table:

1. A master general polishing of EAW xmls to fix game design bugs and issues or realism aspects that Petroglyph left out of the game (Imps/Rebs).

2. Adds the Army/Fleet of Admiral Zaarin as fully playable faction in SP.

3. Adds the Pirates as a fully playable faction so you will have now 4 full playable factions battling each other in SP.

4. Adds General's Veers Campaign mode - Basically Veers will be an empire sub faction and you will only be able to battle land battles (this is optional).

5. Adds Tarkin Campaign mode were you play only in space - Tarkin is also a sub faction of the empire (this is optional).

6. Adds Emperor/Akbar Campaign mode (Expanded AI) this is a play mode were you and the AI can control the faction. You are the Emperor and can overwrite the AI. The cool thing is that the land battles are more now alot more fun and you don't have to do tones of clicks to command everything. The AI does it for ya so all looks alive.

7. Introduces the SWR Admirals Nightmares series to EAW.

8. Adds more planets.

I need:

1. Someone to help me get more planets from what we already have.

2. Someone to get me Zaarin pictures and data about his revolt.

3. Anyone who has EAW feedback or requests can ask the so I can figure out a way to add them if possible.

4. The WTME 7.0 is an NMA project and anyone who wants to mod more or less can join the team.

PS. I have no clue how much will take for my copy to arrive from Las Vegas ... so until then we will have to stick to planning and eaw feedback requests and material gathering.

PPS. The GMP Mod will be used as a starting base for this mod.

Info about Zaarin:

Grand Admiral Zaarin

Demetrius Zaarin is one of the 12 original Grand Admirals promoted to that rank after the Battle of Yavin in the New Year's Fete Week celebration by the Emperor in the Star Wars Expanded Universe; he appears in the computer games Star Wars: TIE Fighter and Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance.

Admiral Zaarin occupies the storyline near the end of the original TIE Fighter (where he attempts to capture Emperor Palpatine), and is the main focus in the TIE Fighter expansions, Defender of the Empire and Enemies of the Empire. However, Zaarin was never affiliated with the Rebellion; Zaarin had fought against the Rebels in trying to acquire hyperdrive technology for the TIE Avenger (Advanced) and only wanted to despose the Emperor in the coup attempt. After Zaarin betrayed the Emperor, he was cast from the council of Grand Admirals and then-Vice Admiral Thrawn was promoted in his place to maintain the ranks at 12-strong.

Grand Admiral Zaarin oversaw many experimental Imperial Projects, including the TIE Avenger, TIE Defender, and (assumedly) the TIE Experimental projects shown in X-Wing Alliance. Shortly before the Battle of Endor and after the abortive defection of Admiral Harkov to the Rebel Alliance, his driving ambition led him to secede from the Empire, taking his extensive fleet with him. While supposedly still on the side of the Empire by fighting Admiral Harkov, who was defecting to the Rebel Alliance, he implemented his secret plans to kidnap Emperor Palpatine himself, taking advantage of the turnmoil between Harkov's forces and Imperial loyalists. Zaarin's attempt was narrowly thwarted by Vice Admiral Thrawn and Maarek Stele.

Despite the failure of his coup d'état, Zaarin proceeded to attack key Imperial facilities across the Galaxy, particularly advanced starfighter production sites and their crews as told in Tour of Dutys Eight and Nine. Although he did not have many capital ships, Zaarin's main strength was his squadrons of TIEs, particularly his shielded and hyperspace-capable Defenders. He successfully destroyed the TIE Avenger production facilities in the Omar system. During that campaign, he almost trapped Admiral Thrawn's flagship by using Rebel-developed magnetic pulse warheads as bait, although it backfired when loyalist pilot Stele used the mag pulse warheads to temporarily incapacitate Zaarin's Interdictor Cruiser and Strike Cruiser, allowing Thrawn to escape. Thrawn managed to rescue the TIE Defender prototypes from the research facility in order to develop a new counter, the Missile Gunboat.

Palpatine saw Zaarin as much of a threat as the Rebel Alliance, and appointed Vice Admiral Thrawn to track down and destroy Zaarin shortly before the attempted kidnapping, which Thrawn thwarted; unfortunately, Zaarin escaped completely to the Outer Rim. Zaarin intended to set up a rival Empire. Thrawn quickly attacked, but Zaarin was Thrawn's military match or even superior and fought him to a standstill.

>>> EAW: Warlord - 6.9.1 - Gold Fix<<<

Added in WTME v6.9.2

-Starbases build costs credits increased - with Level 5 costs now 10000 - level 1 costs 2600, etc.

-Starbases build time seconds is from 250 sec (level 1) up to 800 sec (Level 5).

-The Desth Star costs 40000 credits and the build time is 1310 sec (around 20 minutes on slow)

-The MC costs 6000 and the ISD costs 7500 both are builded in 300 sec (5 min on slow)

-The ISD has now power to weapons ability.

-The MC and ISD weapons hardpoints have now more healt points HP (ISD from 325 to 425/MC from 425 to 525)

-The ISD Shield Hardpoint has now 625 HP from 325.

-Increased camera zoom range by 30%-50%.

(All the changes were designed to slow down the speed of the gameplay and give you more strategic depth)

Added in Warlord MTE v6.9.1

-Fixes the scale of all units (space/land) and heroes reducing it to classic WTME more real scale.

-Fixes the cost for all the ships by increasing them with almost 1000 credits.

-Fixes the hyperspace speed for all space units to WTME speeds.

-Fixes the Ant Fighter ships to be less accurate against fighters (From 1.0 to 1.5,2.0,2.5)

-Fixes the combat fighter speeds to WTME settings.

-The ISD and MC get 1000 shield points more (2000 to 3000)

-The VSD has now half of the ISD fighters and will spawn them.

It was impossible to play the game with those original settings (I exited after the first mission) so that's why I made this 6.9. So I can play the game. If you have any bugs report them in the WTME 6.0 topic.

This mod is installed like the WTME 6.0.

To return to the any Petroglyph patch settings just remove the XML folder.

The tool extracts the 256x256 preview image that the map editor stores in the map file. The preview can be stored and used as Base Layout background as well.

Get the Map Preview Extractor.

Note that the preview image is a top-down snapshot of the map and as such includes all structures and clouds and such, so it's advisable to:

• Save the map with no clouds and no base structures
  
• Extract the preview image for the background image (don't forget to scale it to 512x512)
  
• Save the map with everything placed
  
• Remove the preview image so the markers work

See you later!

Well, I've been modding my game in the last days and I was thinking if someone made new skins/models related to Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.. The new Stormtroopers are so cool, here are some pictures (oh yes, they are from Hasbro Toys )

Incinerator Troopers - just reskin the default Stormtrooper & Sandtrooper skins from the game.

http://www.potf2.com/files/aaron/watermark/Copy%20of%20DSCN5602_w.JPG

Stormtrooper Commander - basically, the Stormtrooper armor with Clonetrooper style markings on it, nothing that can't be done by reskinning game's Stormie...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v474/MyenShi/Misc/SW/Starwars_Storm_Trooper_Commander_08.jpg

And these.. Well these would need new models:

EVO Trooper

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v474/MyenShi/Misc/SW/Starwars_Imperial_EVO_Trooper_1.jpg

Jumptrooper - I think it has a jetpack on its back that looks like the one from Clone JetTrooper on Battlefront II..

Alamo Object Viewer 1.0:

Yes, the time has come indeed. After many months of coding, my Alamo Object Viewer 1.0 is completed (enough), so I hereby release it.

Wunderbar!

Since the germans make up a substantial part of the Petroglyph modding community, Raziel Kanos's been so nice to translate my tools into German. Both English and German are in the same executable. It picks the language based on Windows's language.

Site move:

With the new tools, I felt it was time to upgrade my site. It looked plain, amateuristic and the domain reflected that too. So, Petro-Gamers was nice enough to give me a place to put it all, so hence the new address:

http://modtools.petro-gamers.com/

The old links will stay active for a while, but you'd better change them if you have bookmarks or such.

I'm happy with the results accept one fatal flaw. My merciless Mandos cannot capture reinforcement points! As well, curiosly their space station appears as a pirate base in the galactic map. It upgrades fine and is all normal in battle though.

here is my factions.xml code:

REMOVED

I was thinking I could use it to skin and animate, since it has these functions. unfortunately, I haven't a clue how to skin or animate with it. Is there anyone who knows how to do either of these things in this program?
