Re: New Units Ideas

[1upD]

They can't do that. A jedi's unique skills come from his or her training, and cloners can't copy memories. Plus, unless you're using a spaarti, cloning simply takes too long. I think cloning in star wars shouldn't go much farther than clone troopers.

[Kodor]

I'll agree with you 1upD.

 

 

(No one mention midichlorians....)

Really, I think the best thing is to get started on some modding tutorial, learn how to mod and instead of creating a topic filled with many ideas that have a high probability of not being used, you should create a topic showing what you have done to your game, even if you won't release it (I have a topic regarding my personnal mini-mod, where I bother people and ask for help and say what I have done in it, even if no one cares)... 

You will find that very funny... At least that's what I felt when I first coded something 'new' from my head... 

[Kodor]

Speaking of things no one cares about....

 

The biggest achievement I've made in my personal mod is making my clone troopers, laat/i and acclamator(or venator) into a single buildable unit. In other words you build a company of phase 2 clones and they go into a space battle in an Venator and deploy on the ground out of an LAAT/i. It is the most realistic way I could think of to do clone troops.

 

If anyone is wondering how to do it, its simple. Add TRANPSORT to the behavior of your desired space ship (like an acclamator). Also add the LAAT_transport_landing line to the space craft.

 

Then enter the desired space ship into the tags in the LAAT/i.

 

Use the deploy troopers ability to put your clones on the ground and viola you have a unit that behaves realistically. Of course you'll have to balance the unit's cost, production time and pop value but this difference can give the unit more tactical intrigue if you do it right.

 

Oh yeah and just to make it slick I made the text and icons for the laat/i company the same as the clone trooper company. This way it appears as though you are purchasing and using the clone company and the LAAT/i is nicely embedded in the mix.

Flash Cloning would only be safe in an area that negates the force. Thats why Joruus C'baoth was mad. the force warps a clones mind when they are flash cloned. So you need a lot of Ysalamai.

Good points, you guys.  I will only post things from now on that have meaning to them.  I hope that is an improvement over what I usually post.  Anyway, I agree with Kodor.  Flash cloning just doesn't make sense, and midichlorians are an extremely stupid idea, don't make any sense, and, in turn, are EXTREMELY retarded.  I can't even think of why George Lucas (bless his mind) would come up with this idea and the word.  After all, a midichlorian sounds either like an animal, a mineral or a vehicle.

Wouldnt it be easier to post a link to the page

[Star Wars Godzilla Ruler]

I realized that after you told me (thanks anyway) and so I just started a new topic about it.  But then, I got some unhappy replies and I just deleted the post. Edited April 25, 2007 by Star Wars Godzilla Ruler

Great news, I just dowloaded Lion's Epic Mod and IT WORKED!!! Now I have a max unit population of 60 and more starting units!  SWEEET!!!!  The best part is that I got it off a floppy disk.

[Star Wars Godzilla Ruler]

I just thought of a few new Zann Consortium units, but please notify me if they have been suggested or done already.  Thank you!

 

Mandalorian Basilisk War Droid.

 

All Separatist vehicles and units (upgraded) from the Clone Wars.

 

A sky unit on land like a snowspeeder or something.

 

Please post your opinions or ideas!

[HK-47]

Why do MOST people want to give CIS units to the ZC? Just because ZC has Droidekas MkII and Buzz Droids? Or do people mistake the spell of  C. I. S.  with  Z A N N  C O N S O R T I U M?! ¬¬'

 

The 'sky unit' is very easy to code... Just copy the Snowspeeder code and change somethings, like the model, scale, text entries, icon, health, sounds and obviously, the name of the unit.

[1upD]

notify me if they have been suggested or done already.  Thank you!

Ok.

Mandalorian Basilisk War Droid.

Artenon's working on it.

Have you been to EaWfiles? EVERYONE is doing that.

A sky unit on land like a snowspeeder or something.

Not yet, but it seems pretty easy to do.

[Logan Felipe]

Artenon's working on it.

 

Errr, no I'm not. AoSW doesn't allow content to be distributed to the community except in their mod. No exceptions. Though you might be able to work out getting the old TotJ Basilisk that AoSW planned on using before I started the new one.

Then why are you making it for them?

[Droid803]

Because he's on the team...

[Logan Felipe]

I should probably make a team member sig...

[Dr. Nick]

Or I can make you one...

[Logan Felipe]

Ok; let me decide what I want it to look like, and I'll get back to you.

[Star Wars Godzilla Ruler]

Is it possible for 2 or more mods to work at the same time, like Lion's Epic Mod and Veti Mod?

[HK-47]

Yes it is. But it requires XML Editing, otherwise you will just make the game go BOOM! 

[Star Wars Godzilla Ruler]

OK HK-47, it's just that when I replace files, neither of the mods work but the game does, even though the modded XML files are different.  Any idea how or why it does this?

[HK-47]

Could you be more specific?

[Star Wars Godzilla Ruler]

When I transfer Lion's Epic mod files, it's just a modded Factions XML folder.  The other mod has modded Starbases, Landbases, Rebels Empire and other stuff except for a m,odded Factions XML folder.  By this, I mean that the 2nd mod doesn't have a modded Factions XML folder, but it has everything else modded.  The Lion's epic mod, again, only has a modded Factions XML folder.  So why don't they work together?  Is one only able to work if everything else is default or something like that?

[HK-47]

What...? Now you were specific but not clear lol 

One mod has a modded Factions.xml FILE (not folder) and the other has a couple of modded XMLs but it doesn't have a modded Factions.xml, is this what you meant? If so, just add the modded Factions.xml to the other mod, and it will run with no problens...
