Re: Units wanted for addon to FOC

[Empireftw]

HE hasent shown up thier recently either so i dont think you will find him.

[Logan Felipe]

He made a MAX model pack before disappearing.

Check the public useable models thread on this site; lists the models and has a link.

[Lord_of_the_Sith]

Oh well using max is not so easy sometimes

[Logan Felipe]

Actually, its in the public useable Units thread by Ghostly Substance. I listed the models and there is a link.

 

I'm saving up for a version of max; not the most recent, but it will do.

BOT

Does Kyle Katarn have the Raven's Claw and not that stupid Moldy Crow?

if not, that is desperately needed.

[Saron2of4_pff]

Ok the Mod is just for my personal use nothing that I planned on making public. Second I dont know squat about adding textures to models of ships or anything else to do with making it useable.

 

Thats why I need help on adding them. Ive already added some stuff. But need help with adding the ships that already have hardpoints textures etc into the game. I just want to know where I can find them already Like the A galaxy Divided ships etc and which files I need to move from there into to FOC and how to make it useable. Like which ones are the textures and Hardpoints and etc and how I can add the Icons for them into the Game.

 

Thanks in advance.

Most of the units from your list are available in my mod - Conflict in Space. Feel free using them. The code is modder-friendly - all units are on the top of the XML files. You can find modding tutorials here:

[Saron2of4_pff]

Okay that will help but I also must ask you have Icons for the units like the Titan Cruiser etc as well as different ones like the Venator. Where are they found at and how do I add them.

[Empireftw]

They are found in the mtd command bar file you need the mtd editor to put the new icons in.

[Saron2of4_pff]

Where do I find the Editor and the MTD Command Bar in the Game. I know some of the Mods like CIS etc have one for the new units cant I simply add or take from that one and put it in a mod for FOC or ? Help?

[jedi_consulor]

You need to get a copy of MTD Edit - and use that to extract the icons from Avengers MTD Commandbar file then insert the extracted TGA file into your own MTD Commandbar file. MTD Edit will help you do that. You'll find the Commandbar stuff in the textures folder for the mod your doing yourself.

 

I'd recommend using MTD Edit 1.1 or 1.2 for extracting and inserting new TGA icon's into your commandbar file. You'll find a topic by Mike.nl for links to the dowloads page for these tools you will need.

[Saron2of4_pff]

Well I think I may need help with the Icons part as Im sure I can do the XMLS.

 

Also I noticed there are units for the Hutts in the XMLs can anyone tell me How I might be able to add them into the game as perhaps a faction or to pirates also How do you add Pirates to certain planets I was able to do that in the XMLs with EAW through Singleplayerscampaign xml folder but I cant find one in FOC ??

 

Anywho I would be willing to share the work with someone if they wanted if they could help. Ive added the Venator as well as Pod walker and a TIE Advanced but Im not so sure how the TIE Advance thing will work. But anyway how of you guys I appreciate your help and more is always welcomed and appreciated.

There's also Bothans, Ewoks, Sullustans, a few [Missing]s, etc.

The hutts are in the campaign. They are soooo much better designed then the EaW Black Sun, those weren't black sun at all!

Those don't have any units. I'm guessing originally they planned to have the indigenous forces allied instead of controlled.

[Saron2of4_pff]

Well Personally I like the Pirates(Black Sun). I still would like to know how to add em to a faction or Pirates or something with the Hutts having control of some of the Pirate stuff and the Pirate Asteroid Bases were cool. Anyway if anyone can help figure out that or where I cna find the Singleplayercampaign xml or a folder that edits the starting units for the Galactic conquest(hence singleplayercampaigns xml) and help with Icon thing or a link to the tool to use so I can try anyway if anyone is interested please let me know I'll share my work. Also the TIE Advance is ingame but Ive not tested it against everything. The Venator was added for the Empire only as well as the POd Walker. This weekend if someone can help with the Icon thing I plan on adding some more units etc..

[Saron2of4_pff]

Okay Ive got the MTD editor and Im going to attempt to add the Icons I want. Also Was wondering can someone help me with adding a few more planets? Im going to attempt adding new units from some mods.

 

Also was wondering if someone could help me add new Heros like Needa etc from my list. I know CIS has Needa how do you add him also what about adding mara jade and etc.?

 

Well Im having difficulty adding new units in from other mods....help!!

Well, you need to give credit. And you need to get permission for mods that say so.

[Saron2of4_pff]

Really I had no idea  but seriously of course !

You better be being sarcastic there.

You can add new heroes in sandbox files (1 file is for 1 GC scenario).

[jedi_consulor]

Actually no he, doesn't ? - he said its for a private mod he's doing for himself .. Why on earth would you need to give credit to a private mod no one else uses ! 

[bhaalshad]

I am making a personal mod. Nothing major realy. I have added Lok to my galatic map and was wanting to add Nym as a hero. Already working on his followers (pirate units with dif skins), and have a good amount of info set up in the .dat file for the planet and units I plan on using. Making a hero unit is np, have done a few for land/space. What I would like is a "New" modle that the game does not already have/use.

 

So my question is this... If any moddlers out there have a Male unit they have done and would not mind sharing that would be great. Basic walk, run, idol and weapon use. I can handle all the code needed to make it work.

 

Thank you in advance if anyone can help out. Btw, once this is done if anyone wants the finished products to add Nym, followers and Lok, I would gladdy share.

[jedi_consulor]

I hope some one will do that for you, sadly there are people on these forums that have the attitude that if you want a unit - go make it yourself type mentality. Good luck finding some one to share their model though - I think we do need help with more new groundunits for EAW OBVIOUSLY not everyone can make them - I have already heard it can be tricky animating them too.

 

I can't see it happening though what with people who can make groundunits probably already tied up in projects for mod teams. It would be a nice thing though if people could share new groundunits once in a while.

[1upD]

OH.....

 

I thought he was planning on releasing this.

You should DEFINITELY release this. For Nym, you could reskin the pirate soldier. I've accidentally found out that you can make the hair a solid thing, OR in your case, make it into tentacles

Well we have that mentality because only you and a few others want to share public models and kill the community. You whore models around like no tomorrow while the community dies as well as the big mods. The only one that could do his request is Wildcat who is on a modding break while he tries to win a girl's affections. So he's on a waiting list behind other modders, mod teams, and AoSW.

People such as myself encourage the public sharing of knowledge to help new modders become more orginal. We discourage free public models because we've seen it kill the community. Almost all warlord mods are dead now. AGD ending soon, EaW enhanced is over, Conflict in Space caught porting, cannot be posted, Massive Warlord Conversion is over. People learned the truth of Warlords. Truth behind open public units. Those free public units never get used by mods. Only horded away by people like JC.

[1upD]

Hey, I still use Keeper's models in tEB. It's not dead....Only half dead :'(
