[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

Instead of that, could you please tell us how to add ships to land battles now? Plz plz plz i'll do anything!

[dookie24]

The reason why I dont post it is because there are some bugs need to be fixed, when everything is ok I will post it. Patience my young padawan, if I didnt have patience I wouldnt figure it out how do it.

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

Ok lol, but have you any idea as to when you will be releasing it?

[dookie24]

Hopefully, this weekend.

 

I wanted to put new descriptions and a new GC map with it.

 

Heres my idea for a new GC Campagin:

Ye that looks pretty good. I would help you with the descriptions but i'm not even as people say a "novice" at modding, so theres no use there. :'(

[dookie24]

First, dude never think like that or you will always be like that.

 

Second, i've been having problems with the Dat editor. Dosent seem to work for me.

 

Thirdly, NEVER think like that! lol.

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

Ok lol. I'm tryin to improve my modding skills, but everytime i mod something simple either the game crashes, doesn't start or the changes just don't happen. I need modding lessons. ;D

[dookie24]

If you got AIM you can post some of your work and I can test it rather something is wrong or not.

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

Ok i've not got AIM but i got MSN.

[dookie24]

Well, I need to go now.

 

If you still need my help send my a pm with the code and i'll try to see whats wrong or not or email it to me.Cya!

[Stellar_Magic]

Hey, Dookie have you corrected the bug where starfighters fly through the ground? It's a problem I keep having with mine.  The only solution I've found is to use the speeder locomotor but then the fighters don't maneuver or dogfight... Any suggestions.

[dookie24]

My best bet is to increase the height(hover) and limit its attack range.

 

Or limit its bank turn, how far it goes till comes back for another attack run.

[DragonShadow]

I think you can limit the maximum and minimum z height limits of their flight "plane". More of a flight box, since they can go up and down when other ships can't.

[Zer_Teron]

What language do you have for EaW? I can do the Texts and descriptions and give them to you.

[Adthrawn_pff]

cAN YOU HOST THOSE FILES SOMEWHERE ELSE? Sorry for the caps. I hate downloading one file a day.

[dookie24]

Ya, I have been thinking about it. The problem is I dont know anywhere else that can host it.

 

Heres a update on my current work:

 

This is the very early stages of r2d2 building outside of buildpads take a look:

 

Pirates looking as the r2d2s builds the defences:

R2D2 finds a nice spot on the Ice for mining factory:

I decided one building per droid(no more).

 

Enjoy!

[PipfunatUT]

wow you are amazing...

 

 

i love the pirates all being different races in the same company

[Mikan Cyclone]

well...I only know of two other sites for hosting:

1. Megaupload (*suffocates on its evilness*)

 

2.  OR  you could get a free website.  at digibase.ca.  none of that freewebs crap.

[Zer_Teron]

Wow, building in battles 

[DragonShadow]

Genius...pure genius...

[Mikan Cyclone]

Woah.  I just now understood what was going on!  That has to be one of the coolest ideas ever!

[dookie24]

Thanks!

At the moment, I'm creating different droids that will desgin different buildings and hopefully make the game more interesting.

 

My next droid idea is being able to build spawn points, where units will spawn untill the building is destroyed.

 

The other idea I have plan is when you destroy like a vechicle units will pop out like buildings does. Also for ships when they die they will spawn life boats like being ejected from the ship before they blowup.

Lets hope they work.

[Mikan Cyclone]

You can look to the scout trooper for that.  OR....you could add the building garrison trigger to a vehicle and see what happens.

[dookie24]

Ya, i'm using those units as a basis to work on the others.

[Mikan Cyclone]

For capital ships when they die, escape pods could be the shuttles of that faction.  Then you could create a new type of infantry unit called *name of ship*_Command_Crew to inhabit them.  The only question is what to do with them after the battle.
