Re: Units wanted for addon to FOC

[Droid803]

I'm ready to blow up lol.

Whats the big deal about porting a few sounds  ???

Yea breaking the EULA, which pratically ALL modding does.

 

Yes warlords just killed about half the modellers who were starting out...they go "hey look! Lazy time for me!"

[swfan654]

Those arent Keepers models, Warlords yet again........ :-\

 

Warlords mods just want to make the coolest and most new units in their mods, get their names out into the community, notice mods that use them usually get the most downloads.  I can tell you all about it, I was one of them, now im not. Warlords are destructive, and if people dont realize it, they need to. That damage done is probably not fixable, but we can always hope. The remaining warlords mods should shut down, well even if they dont almost all of the warlords models have been used so there isnt a whole lot more new space units left to add so....

 

and for those who wonder why we have a shortage of modellers and skinners is that once warlords came along they wouldnt have to model or skin anything, just convert a model from warlords which is alot easier, which made people lazy.

[MonkeyBiz]

People keep dogging the Warlords models. Honestly, it's become a scapegoat for the big mod teams. "Oh no, poor us, everyone keeps cribbing the Warlords models!" Consider it a challenge. Now you have to succeed with coding and BETTER models and content, versus just hordes of units.

 

Personally, the only mod that really gives me any reason to raise my heart rate or blood pressure is Legacy of War, and that's ONLY because of the inclusion of the Yuuzhan Vong.

 

The reasons that mods keep closing shop is because they're BAD MODS. The best mod I've seen so far is BailKnights mod. And even that was mostly just a unit pack.

 

You guys make it sound like there's some cadre of modelers, skinners, and animators smoking cigars and drinking scotch who were just hanging out playing poker and went "You know, we should probably make models for Empire at War or something" and then one of them chimed in and went "There's this Warlords mod that made them already." and then another one went "Ah, screw it. Let's get high and order some cheesybread."

 

I hate to break to you, but you can't scapegoat Warlords. EvilleJedi has made his models freely available. if you want to do something with them, then DO SOMETHING. Don't whine about it.

 

The big mod teams are scared because it looks like their hard work is going to come for nothing. Well ya know, maybe if you released something instead of dilly dallying around you wouldn't have that problem.

Uh......I like public models.

 

Not everyone has the money to model.

 

I'm gonna use Keeper's in my mod. He said anyone can use them, I will.

How come Guys this Thread about help with a Personal mod that I said I might share with someone has turned into a conflict Greater the the Clone Wars and the Galatic Civil War Combined ??? ??? :? I mean come on guys some of us cant make Models and having someone who can do that and someone Like myself who knows a little about the XMLS blahblah is different. If someone makes a Model so Someone try to make something else or a better version or something quit all this nonsense. We are all here to Play a Game we all like because of the Star Wars Universe. Making changes or improvements to better our experience of gameplay and feel of the SW Universe is what we are all trying to do threw modding.

 

 

With that said( and in no way aimed to be hateful or smart),anyway if anyone is willing to share there help and "expertise" in helping another person out and teaching them to mod more please fell free.

 

I've enabled finally Pirates and the Hutts to Start off on Certain Planets in th GC Equal Footing. I've increased hitpoints for the Asteroid Bases Shields as well as adding Venators and Pirate Interceptors to come as reinforcements. I've Also rescaled some of the ships and Fighters as well as adding The Venator,  TIE Advanced Squadron, and Pod Walkers for the Empire.

 

Question for the above is Is there a way to add a AI for the Pirates and the Hutts to make them Invade or Attack as well as Build More Units? Also I still need help with adding more stuff. Ive figured out the Icon thing I think and will add more later. All help is indeed appreciated.

[bhaalshad]

You know, I have been watching this thread for a while now, and I must say I am majorly dissapointed in the responce this has gotten.

 

Basicly this is a place to make a request for help, not a area to flame or knock down other people. I look at it this way, if you can not or do not wish to help, fine; that is your choice. There are some however that do like to help and share code / moddles etc...

 

To say that helping hurts, omg, I can not even continue with that thought, just that statement makes me laugh....

 

Anyway I would request this area be locked out or removed, and perhaps a new one could be started on a more "friendly" level and respect. Anyone trying to find help here would just get losted in all this slander and bashing.

[Saron2of4_pff]

Thank nuff said.

[Saron2of4_pff]

z3r0x has a planet mod he made for EAW that had 64 planets. I wonder if he could help me with adding a few planets to FOC ?

 

Also Im having a problem bringing New Units Like Land and Space from other Mods(yes Im aware of asking permission but it is a personal mod if I decide a public release I'll ask permission) like CIS,A Galaxy Divided, and Bailsmod. I dont know if it lies in the Projectiles or what  ???. I know that I need the Models, Textures, XML files for groundforces,the side(groundforcesrebel etc),hardpoints,Squadrons,Fighters, Capital corvette etc for ships. Is there somethin Im forgetting or is the projectiles too much?

[Saron2of4_pff]

This is begining to become difficult :-\ :'(. Everytime I try to add the new units space and land I get a crash. I dont know What Im doing wrong :-[ ???. I keep adding the Textures, Models,XMLs, and hardpoints. I understand that for ships I gotta add to the correct category ie Capital ships corvettes, land units have 2 ,ground companies whichever side and the vehicles go in the groundinfantry and groundvehicles. I dont know?? I also tried adding Prince Xizor and was planning on adding him to the Constrodium and giving him a Ship a KADALBE BATTLESHIP and some Leadership ability like Tarkin Steath in Space and Price Redution like the Emperor but I cant get him to work. I have him in Namedherounits and Herocompanies. Do I need something else or what? Im stumped.

 

Also was wonderinng if z3r0x can help with making a map adding to FOC Bakura,Yaga Minor,Chandrila,Trandosha,Nal Nemodia,Gamorra,The planet General Grievious came from and some others?

 

Can you guys help.

Uh, Xizor works for Black Sun, and he flies in the Virago

 

Anyways, did you mention all your new XMLs in Gameobjectfiles.XML?

[Saron2of4_pff]

Game Object Files for what? Yes I know that Xizor is Black Sun and he flies the Virago but Im changining a few things for my personal mod and figured Id beef him up if I could get him to work?
