Re: I Have Been Convinced

[Droid803]

Still a work in progress, and probably will be until I'm satisfied at how it plays.

 

 

INTRO:

First off, this is a 100% NON-CANON mod. While it does take ideas from star wars canon, it is NOT made to reflect it and shouldn't be taken as such. Its purely to be fun-to-play and give a fresh new feeling to the game without any radical offshoots.

The main addition in this mod is the mandalorian faction, using the mandalorian units from the Zann Consortium in the original game, and a few new additions to fill up the unit roster. Aside from that shift, the changes were made to balance out with the changes made to the factions, or simply to fill a gap.

For example, the Aggressor Assault Fighter was added to fill the gap for a efficient anti-fighter, anti-corvette unit for the ZC because the Crusader and the StarViper are taken by the mandalorians.

You will also find some units added just for fun, like the tactical bribery shuttles.

In short this is a random jumble mod designed to be fun and to be playable, not to be accurate. As such, ships are not scaled canonically and have been kept similar to how they were in the original game.

Sure, everything looks out of proportion. Adds to the comic factor. Why else would I change the main menu overlay to some random anime show you probably never heard of before?

All being said, Have fun! That's why you play a game right?

 

STORY:

The people of mandalore have been suppressed by the empire since the time of the clone wars. The peole are sick of their rule. With the resistance against the empire growing and with the empire itself too occupied by other matters, it is the perfect time to stage an uprising.

Mandal Hypernautics, which had taken temporary contracts from the Zann Consortium to build several new lines of ships suddenly closes down and builds ships for their people's own use. Raids on abandoned imperial depots on-planet arm their troops with a variety of stolen weapons.

Then, the day arrived. On two fronts the Mandalorians push the Empire away from their system, seizing military control of their own planet and stealing a prototype ship. The Empire is not happy about the loss of a valuable planet and the forces there. The Consortium is angered at the loss of ships for their fleet. The Rebellion is wary of the warlike people.

Salvaging derelicts after the battle and combinign with their existing fleet, the Mandalorians prepare to take on the rest of the galaxy.

The stage is set. The outcome is for you to decide.

 

Its not totally complete yet as I am continually trying to balance it properly

General Gameplay Hints:

- Rebellion has more heroes are available earlier in skirmish, they can give a large strategic boost

- Fleet commanders come with their own flagship, and can now be used in space skirmish, now limited to a maximum of two to three commanders to balance with consortium's light destroyers

- Rebellion and Empire transports (HTTs and Juggernauts) are now exetremely useful to take troops to the front lines and assist them as well

- MDUs are much more useful as they do not cost population value and can provide strategic defense without compromising offensive capabilities

- Turbolaser Towers now track air targets as well, does not pose too much of a threat to large numbers of speeders due to inaccuracy and slow-tracking, but can hurt/kill bombers, and easily destroy HTTs and Support Shuttles

- Alternate build options are much better against air targets than standard turbolasers

- Support Shuttles offer arial cover fire for ground troops and can often be used to spearhead assaults on their own. Beware of enemy units that can track air targets - they're not very maneuverable

Tactical Bribery Ship beside a recently-bribe Acclamator...

I'm not going to bother fixing the damage to the bribed unit. Just think of it as internal battles on board the ship between those who are bribed and those who are loyal. The tactical bribery ship has its own defense as well...but it hurts potential bribery targets

id release, we need some good XML based mods. 

[Droid803]

lol i still need to add more of my own stuff to wash out the borrowed stuff...and to get permission.

using too much of other people's stuff right now in comparison to my own.

[bhaalshad]

Thanks to:

- SWM for HAP code (which I modified)

- Aggressor Fighter Mod for Aggressor Fighter code (which I modified)

- bhallshaad for Arc Hammer code (which I modified)

 

Um, name is Bhaalshad  and, I did not suply nor make a Arc Hammer code. ???

[Droid803]

Ah crap...who was it? :-[

Gah.

(which reminds me to check the stuff again for credit)

[ultimentra]

Please release this mod. Its so cool looking.

[Droid803]

Going to add a few things for the rebellion, then..

Gotta test a few more features and balance it properly (which means getting a few people to play it online with me).

 

Oh I'll release it...actually somethign I can do!

[MajorPayne]

D803. No need to credit me for anything. I'm just glad someones made use of it, and good work. Like the layout, but still hate the team colours.

[Mikan Cyclone]

YAY XML MODS!!  Seriously we need more o' these.  Once I get FoC, I'll get this when you release it!

[1upD]

Sweet Mandos!

 

By the way, what do the elites look like? I'd really like to try this mod out.

 

I'm entering my own Mando skin into Kelathin's contest, it looks like Jango without the jetpack, with player colors where the blue should be.

[Droid803]

The elites look like boba fett.

Oh team colours...yes time to add back white and grey as selectable team colors, and enhance the existing ones to....look prettier.

Damn the purple..heck why do I even play as purple?

 

Time to get some more screens...

[Kelathin]

good job. Don't add warlords. Just good old fashion xml strength.

[1upD]

What is this hatred of warlords going around? Anyways, I don't think his mod looks like the kind of mod that would need warlords models.....

[Empireftw]

Looks cool ill be downloading this for sure  ;D

[Droid803]

There will not be warlords.

At most I will scavenge through the unused EaW/FoC models to see what I can pull out . I mean its got more of a land focus than space anyhow. (well, starting now, I'm done with tweaking space)

[vaders_Legion]

looks good, release it when your done i would love to see its new features and it operating from a mod folder

[1upD]

I got an idea! You could make boarding ships that have bribe just like the bribing ship, but set the recharge time to -1, so they can only capture one ship. I think this might balance it...If you replace the bribing ship or not, it would still be good for the rebels.

[Droid803]

right now the bribing ship costs 4000 and is limited to one per player as to avoid spamming.

It costs around 1000-2000 to bribe a ship so its not cheap, plus it gets damaged to around 50% so its not much more than paying some cash to destroy a ship (with some added benefits of course).

 

One problem with the bribing "boarding" ship - it costs money to capture.

 

yayz I got the AI to build the new units. took me a while to re-write two FoC LUAs from the EaW one(lol).

Uh....What's the point of bribing then? I think you should make the bribe cost A LOT more and the ship cost A LOT less.

 

What's wrong with that? Also, you could change that so it doesn't cost money, right?(I haven't messed with the bribe code)

 

How? I'd looove to know how to LUA.

[Empireftw]

Well tell me this would you like it if all the sudden i bribed you one and only capital ship in the fleet the ability has to be towned down so it doesnt be a complete game winner.

[vaders_Legion]

hmm about the bribe thing why does it do damage is it a glitch or just how u coded it

[Droid803]

Yea I'm going to upcost space bribe...eventually.

At 4000 makes you actually consider risking it, because its actually quite vulnerable for more than one squadron of fighters (it can hold its own against one), and make it so you don't relentlessly spam it - therefore making killing it useless, etc. Its not a game winner, at least not in skirmish.

In GC it gets killed pretty quick by fighters.

 

Its just simple LUA editing, more editing than actually scripting.

I just copied over the built units and piorities, then added the new ones ( I couldn't add to the complied one)

If it cost 0 to bribe all units...then uhh, the bribing ship can bribe units for free as well. bribe applies to all bribing stuff.

Its a glitch, but hey it helps balance it

OH YEAH.......

 

Like I said, I've never seen the bribe code, so I didn't know it worked like that....

[ultimentra]

Hey what did you do the HTT to make it have more firepower? Please release this mod!

[1upD]

Maybe the MEGL should have a different skin/size than the MPTL....
