DarthCycle Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 There are a lot of topics going on for features that players would like to see. I would add this simple one: make the game as modable as possible. Any game parameters should not be hard-coded, but stored in a text file. Modders can then change these values as desired and thus can greatly affect the gameplay of the game without intervention from the developpers. Needless to say, this greatly enhance the longevity of a game. Just look at the amount of mods available for Civ3. Game elements that should be stored in text files1) Unit statistics2) Global fleet force composition: how many of each ship class should the AI aim for globally. You want an AI that builds lots of carriers, set the setting where carrier is set to 90% of all ship classes.3) Fleet composition: give role to fleet and what each of them should be composed of in terms of ship classesRaiding fleet - used to conduct hit and run tactics on enemy planetInvasion fleet - used to conduct planet invasionSpace superiority fleet - used to engage enemy fleetWhen the AI decides to conduct a specific operation, strategically speaking, it will then assemble a fleet for that purpose and then use it.4) Global ground force composition: how many of each ground units should the AI aim for globally. 5) Army composition: give role to army and what each of them should be composed of in terms of unitsDefensive army - used to defend your planetsOffensive army - used to invade enemy planetsHome world army - what should your capital planet (if such a planet exist) be composed of. This planet should be a fortress.6) Planet infrastructure composition: what should the AI build (build order)on each planet based on the planet strategic value.Possible strategic value for planet: home world, shipyard, economic center, etc... Things are not as they seem,nor are they otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ismael Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 We all hope that it will be mod frendly. Nick at E3 said that it will be - but before mods I really want to play it first I think we will have some sort of editor.

Foshjedi2004 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 What an Editor in the game package kind of like Liero and AOE?? Can we create our own planets then? http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/knivesdamaster/tags/sith_omguserbar_member.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostly_Substance Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Well I keep on having the idea to mod something and EAW seems like the right type of game to mod this for since it has both space and planets. Would it be to much to ask just for a unit making program or it is early to send a unit modding tool out or a planet modding tool ? Well not now maybe but how about mid or end of summer ??? I just feel like modding something into the game. -One Empire falls another riseshttp://myanimelist.net/signature/EuroSubstance.png http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/os/type/2/ghostlysubstance.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Cotla Charre Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 This just in, on the new preview posted on Gamespot (its in the Screenies and Previews forum) The interview confirmed that nearly every attribute in the game *WILL* be stored in text files, so it will be super easy to mod!

Ghostly_Substance Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 But there has to be a tool to mod how the units looks right ? Text file wouldn't do that much tho so you'd need a tool to change how the units look. -One Empire falls another riseshttp://myanimelist.net/signature/EuroSubstance.png http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/os/type/2/ghostlysubstance.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TreKunIII Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I just hope you'll at least be able to do different things like the alter the music and create-import characters/units for the game. Nothing would make me happier than being able to perhaps do the likes of "when Jedi and Sith clash, 'Duel of the Fates' will be playing in the background." And so forth and such.

Foshjedi2004 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 That would be fun!!! Dum Dum Dum Der der der der der duh!!! http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/knivesdamaster/tags/sith_omguserbar_member.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostly_Substance Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 You know what would be great ? Having a 10 audio playlist and put your top 10 fav music in that list in a folder then it will play in the background. Just a thought. -One Empire falls another riseshttp://myanimelist.net/signature/EuroSubstance.png http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/os/type/2/ghostlysubstance.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foshjedi2004 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 You mean Like Clash of the Lightsabers by Mark Williams and the Imperial March when you lose / win depending on the team. http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/knivesdamaster/tags/sith_omguserbar_member.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostly_Substance Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 how about just putting what you want to hear when like putting a battle lost theme with a new toon. -One Empire falls another riseshttp://myanimelist.net/signature/EuroSubstance.png http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/os/type/2/ghostlysubstance.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foshjedi2004 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 That could be a good idea. It really depends on what the programmers feel as being the correct route for the game to progress along. http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/knivesdamaster/tags/sith_omguserbar_member.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostly_Substance Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Yup but as I keep on saying and probably getting old now, they could either do it at the last moment or patch it in ? Who knows. Well If the losing or winning theme is going to be played all the time I bet about 20% or more will get ticked off from the same tunes. -One Empire falls another riseshttp://myanimelist.net/signature/EuroSubstance.png http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/os/type/2/ghostlysubstance.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foshjedi2004 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Yeah the same tunes over and over would really begin to take it's toll if there are loads of Planets. http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/knivesdamaster/tags/sith_omguserbar_member.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostly_Substance Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Also going back to same ones and over time. -One Empire falls another riseshttp://myanimelist.net/signature/EuroSubstance.png http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/os/type/2/ghostlysubstance.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foshjedi2004 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 *Shudder* Imperial March over and Over and over really peeved me off in Rebellion. http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/knivesdamaster/tags/sith_omguserbar_member.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostly_Substance Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 heard C3P0's voice also got annoying in Rebellion lol. Well hope the tunes change often enough and lots of variety in tunes to not get ticked off. -One Empire falls another riseshttp://myanimelist.net/signature/EuroSubstance.png http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/os/type/2/ghostlysubstance.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foshjedi2004 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I just turned him off in the end to rid me of the annoyance. http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/knivesdamaster/tags/sith_omguserbar_member.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostly_Substance Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 rofl, hes always annoying so what can you do. Also wonder how c3po will look in this game same as R2. Imagine seen them on a crazy adventure. Watch them magically win a fight they wouldn't of in space on a space craft some tunes hinting at whats going on. -One Empire falls another riseshttp://myanimelist.net/signature/EuroSubstance.png http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/os/type/2/ghostlysubstance.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
