Re: EAW: Warlord - 7.0 - Gold Total Mod Expansion

[dw333]

Cain's ( i hope he isnt waiting for my galaxy) or mine (Civil War)?

 

I would say tht i will have civil war ready for its first release sometime this week or by trhe end of the weekend.  If i didnt have to go to work, im sure it would be done now!

 

My galaxy w/traderoutes is 85% complete.

 

Star Wars Civil War is 20% complete.

First release will be only general editing (general gameplay and all misc space files), galaxy, and all space units (all changes and new units).

ground (changes and new units) and heroes will be next release!

[Cain]

Yup we are waiting for the galaxy Keep up the good job.

 

Can someone tell me when the Mod will be realesed  ???

 

We also need the GMP ready before I start fully on this

 

 

dw333 see if GMP could accept your WTME 7.0 map too.

[dw333]

I'll finish the galaxy today/tonight then (sry working on adding the new units, ALL (well except misc like preybird, cloakshape and other misc fighters) of starfighters (see below) are in and working.  When i get off work and finish them, i'll pm the files (planets, traderoutes, and master text file is all i think).  let me know i forget some files sometimes and have changed 30% of the total game files) to you, expect them around 4-7pm today.

 

all starfighters:

TIE Fighter

TIE Bomber

TIE Scout

TIE Interceptor

TIE Advanced

TIE Defender

TIE Robotic

TIE Phantom

Assault gunboat

Missile boat

Scimitar Bomber

I-7 howlrunner

X-Wing

y-Wing

a-Wing

b-Wing

e-Wing

k-Wing

a-9 (reb and emp)

z-95

 

thinking about

prey bird

cloakshape

 

shuttles adding today

Skipray - both

Escort Shuttle - both

Assault Transport - reb

Assault shuttle - emp

Lambda shuttle - both

Sentinal shuttle - emp

stormtrooper transport - emp

delta transport - reb

 

few others but not alot of data on them (and if it cant help at all for space battles then useless to add), may have also missed a fedw obvious ones...

[Prophion]

When you say 'in and working', I'm guessing that doesn't include new models?

[Bodin]

Adding new models is, unfortunatly, impossible at the moment. The Rebel A-9 is a modified A-Wing, if I remember right from dw333's Topic.

[dw333]

because we cannot add models, i have to reuse models, the 'a-9 vigilance interceptor' is from dark empire.

 

i just used the a-wing as a base model for the a-9, since they are both interceptors!

[dw333]

almost done with the planets correct positions, though some might be slightly out of position, to allow for the fleets and names to all be usable. will work on trade routes next, these are easy though!

[PipfunatUT]

where are the maps for these planets comming from?

 

good work though... thanks for doing all this... 

[dw333]

you have to reuse current ones space and ground until a map editor is available. the best you can do is match maps to planet /system types.  ie forest to forest, urban to urban, astroid to astroid, etc...

[dw333]

cain - pm'ed planets to you. Edited February 24, 2006 by dw333

[PipfunatUT]

i just say thanks dw for doing all this again...  looking forward to havin a good starwars fun time

[Necro]

indeed!

 

will you be releasing your galaxy so other mods can use it too, i'd like to try it with the sw realism 1.2

[Cain]

Lets add the new renamed variants a bit later so we will have two versions - one with the most improvements but with the same units like EAW and one with the new units ... I am a bit busy with work stuff even in my free time - so I will go with what you guys decide. Edited February 24, 2006 by Cain

[Stingrayvt]

Hey Cain, I think your idea rocks, and just wanted to know if you still needed any more help with anything, the researching of the information, or any of the maps from the NJO books.

 

or just any help in general

 

sounds like an awsome mod

[Cain]

yup - any help and materials from the books will serve us well

[Zenoth]

Cain, can you tell me/us an estimated release date/week/month for version 7.0 ?

 

I can't wait to get my hands on it !

[Cain]

Cain, can you tell me/us an estimated release date/week/month for version 7.0 ?

 

I can't wait to get my hands on it !

 

I'll see what I can do this weekend and next week.

 

dw333 I didn't get the last version for planets

[Adthrawn_pff]

This is a great idea. Can yuo post some screens? And Cain, are you still doing Reloaded for Rebellion?

[Cain]

Ohhhh - long story / My main work on SWR is PTESB (see my sig). I only worked on 1-2 cards on SWR Reloaded before moving on RTW and now I am on EAW. I am a bit unwelcomed near relaoded because I criticised the poor management that has created a mod that is WIP for 5-6 YEARS now. Personally I am a fan of releaseing working versions than waiting for the gold.

 

For Zaarin  try the demo - I didn't had the time to fully port it to the full version.

[Adthrawn_pff]

Okay, thanks. It pissed me off when I went on after a year and didn't see any new progress. How long till this is done? Guesstimate. And who yelled at you? I WILL BRAIN THY!!!!

[dw333]

Cain, i will pm you the planet info this week, i've been very busy with life things lately and not working very much on SW:EaW, but i'll get it to you soon...within the week!

[Cain]

Cool - thx.

 

Btw after I get the galaxy from you ( Pls use the SWR descriptions for the planets - the new ones I mean) I will try to make my self some time to mod.

 

Also pls. remaind me to change the Warlord name - It seems too limitated.

 

I think we should go with a new name EAW: Grand Admirals ?! Since I intend to add Thrawn too and maybe Harkov.

I am trying to download this mod, and it keeps saying that I dont have acess to this section, can someone help me get it?

[Tulon]

I think we should go with a new name EAW: Grand Admirals ?! Since I intend to add Thrawn too and maybe Harkov.

 

Mhmm, "Duel of the Grand Admirals"? But I guess that one is too long.

I have to say, I'd still favor "EaW: Warlords". It's short and simple, and perfectly describes the mod's content.

If you name it "Grand Admirals" people might think the mod will include all GAdm's.

Hm ... or how about "EaW: Thrawn's Pincer"? Would be a nice innuendo towards both Thrawn's Interdictor-based tactic (which had been given this name) as well as his campaign against Zaarin.

 

By the way, Harkov was "only" an Admiral, not Grand Admiral.

[Guest JediIgor]

Since we're on the topic of grand admirals, Zaarin was definitely not a warlord. He was a traitor to the Empire, he helped the Rebels, he didn't go off on his own and carve up a little portion of space  . Grand Admirals sound good to me. Just because they won't all be playable doesn't make it a bad name -- LucasArts said all the Star Wars galaxy would be playable and they were wrong, hmm?
