Re: I Have Been Convinced

You gonna skin that thing? lol.

Kickass Hapes Nova, but its gonna need a skin. And needs UVing.

This could always be used as a reference pic for skinning.

[Droid803]

lol wow. Some Hapan fanatics site...

 

The problem isn't the reference. Its who's gonna do it, and who has the model.

[Logan Felipe]

true

[vaders_Legion]

i believe you can still ask elron or frosh for the stuff, sonic0 asked for the low ssd v2 a while back and got permission from frosh

[Droid803]

Hmmm...we'll see

 

I've PM'ed Fosh about the models, but he has yet to reply. (Or even come online).

 

Now, I also want to AoSW's Shadow-class cruiser after someone fixes its firing bones and shadow (the irony). Though code can't really fix it since his max-alo exporter broke or something...

 

Anyhow, no screens, but I've made a Mandalorian-specific weapon, the Nuclear Missile Launcher (canonically used during the Mandalorian Wars). Mounted on the Star bases (replaces all mass drivers and plasma cannons), Salvaged Venators (replaces mass drivers), and Kedalbe Battleships (replaces mass drivers). No, they don't do massive damage and only function as a heavy turbolaser (against big targets) and an anti-fighter weapon (clears fighters). Problem is, it clears fighters TOO well, since they all fly in a straight line towards the missile. One volley took the 181st for all their over-poweredness... I really have to decrease its blast range.

 

Oh right, I also added the fifth level starbase.

[Daft_vader_pff]

I've been helping code with exporting since he can't. He rigges em, i just export em,so i can export it for you if Code fixes it...

a self explanatory screen followed by one of the new adv. nuke explosion.

[Logan Felipe]

What's the ship with the Boba Fett Icon?

[Daft_vader_pff]

looks like an assault gunboat

[Droid803]

Yeah, its the Mandalorain Hero in an Assault Gunboat. I'll probably replace his assault gunboat with DV's (which is probably a better conversion with more fire bones).

[vaders_Legion]

DV's? wtf? Anyhow, looks good right now, new unit idea...again, not sure if its possible cause i never tried it before. make the gargantuans hardpoints like how the mdu's are, so you can build off them and then give it a few build options

[Droid803]

Daft_vader's.

 

and making hardpoints buildable is a UaW thing, prolly NOT going to work in EaW.

[vaders_Legion]

probably wont but hell, its worth a try. is it done by coding or by how the bones are named on the model?

[Droid803]

Both.

But even IF it was rigged for that, I think FoC only supports one thing built on another, not like eight.

[vaders_Legion]

meh, whatever you say  :

[Droid803]

Update:

New Ion Missile projectile

 

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v423/kc1991/swfoc_18.jpg

Not the best pic, but you can vaguely see the new nuclear missile trails (orangish-redish-pinkish things)

 

 

===

 

On a completely different note, I can marginally rid now, though I STILL can't get those annoying engine glows to work properly *angry*. I even managed to screw up billboarding (wtf moment)

[Dr. Nick]

Wow...

 

Not only a master of code, but a master of particles too!  ;D

 

Lovin' the new ion missiles   

[Droid803]

I finally got the engine glow to work *cries tears of joy*

 

on the topic of particles...

 

Some new force abilities...Nothing special, just edited existing ones.

 

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v423/kc1991/swfoc_19.jpg

Force Shockwave

Damages everything within a fairly large radius

 

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v423/kc1991/swfoc_20.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v423/kc1991/swfoc_21.jpg

Force Explosion

Notice the "force-corrupting" green.

Surviving this wouldn't be a good thing. You get control of the survivors of the initial blast. (which should be pretty dead, only the HAP, AT-AT, and UT-AT tend to survive the blast with decent health)

It kills the user though, so be careful.

[Logan Felipe]

Oooh...

Pretty lights. 

 

Who was the user?

[Droid803]

This Guy:

 

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v423/kc1991/DarkSideRevenant.jpg

 

He's had those abilities since I frist added him in (His space transport is the Hyper Velocity Cannon Vegeance Frigate...I think more people will recognize that.)

 

And about that ion rocket, lol funny thing ist hat I found a particle in the normal game that looked like that already for the most part and just tweaked it (lengthened the trail).

[Logan Felipe]

ah yes; the Krayt-Class Cruiser Ion megaweapon.

[Droid803]

Naw, I forgot what it is, but it is in EaW, not FoC.

The megaweapon would have been too large.

[1upD]

Wow...

 

Yeah, particle editing for force powers is fun.

[Droid803]

Yeah, particle editor is FTW.

 

On a different note...

 

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v423/kc1991/swfoc_23.jpg

Yes, I know this has been done by ovi_da_tiger before but I had to try it myself. And customize. I know that's not a very good screenshot but it gets the job done.

 

StarViper Elite. Re-rigged with custom muzzle flash (credits to Codeuser), and 6 extra fire points (2x torpedo, 4x ion cannon) and animated with Open/Close (not too well done). Now the complete equivalent of a B-Wing. (Closes S-Foils)

 

Strangely, it wasn't that difficult.

Cool. Looks much better than the EaW/FoC ones.
