Filo's Personal Mod (Custom Tech Tree)

[Filo]

At start: my english is still weak, sorry for mistakes

 

Well...

I've always prefered holding to the star wars canon, as strong as is it possible, and I was getting irritated, when I saw units like Tartan or... the whole Consortium. OK, I can understand  MPTL (Rebels needed an artillery), or Lancet (Empire needed flying unit). But why is there a stupid, never seen before Tartan in the place of Carrack? Carrack wasn't good? And what is the reason of creating 2-M repulsor tank when there is IFT-T known from both Battlefronts? And T-2B and T-4B tanks were a good idea(rebels haven't got many vehicles), but I think they shouldn't replace good old T-1B and T-3B, they should be just next to them.

 

I decided to start my personal mod, which makes the game as canon as is it possible (I mean: not "unplayable, but canon", of course some units have to be keeped to save the balance and gameplay) and -by the way- add some units and ideas from other mods. Do you understand? Max gameplay with max canon 

 

I don't want to release that but I wanted you guys to see this:

interesting tech tree, id download this mod cause it seems pretty good

[Filo]

Thank you But I'm afraid it will be only my personal mod. But who knows...

 

Oh I've forgot about the Underworld, but I think I won't make too much changes. I will only change it into Black Sun, and replace Tyber with Xizor and Urai with Guri.

 

Or maybe I could move some units to new faction of Mandalorians like in Droid's Mod

*SIGH*

Both ideas are commonly seen. Maybe you should make something totally new. But what pirates would fit in total canon besides Black Sun?

[Filo]

All good ideas are already used, I don't think I would make something new. I.e. I can make Consortium into Confederate Remnant, but it was also seen in some mod. IMO the Black Sun pirates are more canon than Zann Consortium. Anyway it won't appear in most GC's because the most importnant for me is Rebel-Empire conflict.

 

At least it was Galactic Civil War between Galactic Empire and Alliance to Restore Republic, and any third faction which is more powerful than pirates from EaW is a bit non-canon.

[NovaRaptor]

Maybe i'm slow but hoe do you get hero's to actually change when you tech up in GC. Is that LUA scripting or some thing else. Like Mara changing to a lightsaber and then defecting.

[Filo]

It was on Filefront EaW forum, and it -I guess- was also used in Avenger's Conflict in Space. (Replace Piett with Accuser by Piett with Executor). It was something like if I good remembered

 

BTW Nice avatar 

 

EDIT: Maybe I should move Assault Gunboat to TL3, and at TL4 make TIE Avenger?

Edited July 20, 2007 by Filo

[NovaRaptor]

could you show me some more complete code. I've never heard of this.

[Filo]

OK, I found that:

 

STORY_TRIGGER

REMOVE_UNIT

hero name

Empire_AI_Heroes_xx

 

Where the xx in tag is numers from 07 to 12 or something like that.

 

For more info look there: http://forums.filefront.com/sw-eaw-modding-mapping-editing/276967-removing-units-certain-tech-level.html

 

Anyway it's simple. I just need to have models of Mara with saber and without saber, and code three different variants. Next- when one spawns, the other disappears. Easy.

 

------------------------------------------------------

 

Ok, I will make all 3 other factions. Each one will be available in other GC:

-Mandalorians ('Mandalorian Crisis')

-Confederate Remnant ('The New Droid Army')

-Black Sun pirates ('Pirates at War' or 'Shadows of the Empire')

 

BTW: I forgot about Dash Rendar to rebel heroes, but i'm not sure about it...

 

But why am I writing there? It probably won't be the public mod...

If you adding the mandos, you have permission to steal it all from me

Other changes

-added some new planets

-added planet Sluis Van, another shipyard world where you can build destroyers

-rescales all ships to make scales more realistic (in most of ships- upscales, cause bigger is prettier  ;D )

-the mod is based on equivalent units like Nebulon-Dreadnaught, Victory-Assault Frigate, or T1B - AT-ST and Dark trooper - Infiltrator

-The non-Williams music, and also all non-Orgiginal Trilogy music is now deleted, but added a lot of new music from Original Trilogy

-the Projectiles.xml file remade

-on most of planets you can build a special unit available only on this planet like Strident-class Star Defender on Mon Calamari, Firespray on Kuat, N1 on Naboo, or Bothan Spies on Botawui

-custom ground defense towers added to all factions (sorry for 'stealing', Droid  ;D but I think it's great idea)

-added Ground Landing to Rebels and Empire which spawns Airspeeders or Lancets

-increased pop cap of course

-new descriptions for most units

-other minor changes

 

 

BTW: Even if I will publish this mod, why your permission is needed? You don't have the copyright for Mando's  :

Edited July 22, 2007 by Filo

[Droid803]

You didn't get my joke >.< no one does.

 

I meant that if you wanted you could just take all the code, since from that unit list the units are pretty much the same.

 

Nice tho.

[Filo]

Yeah that's true Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V and mod ready xD

Anyway, could I use your mandalorian soldier model?  : First I wanted to reskin Boba Fett, but I noticed he has a jetpack so he can not be.

 

I have an idea. I could create the GC where there wouldn't be Empire and Rebels, but it will be full of mini-factions like Naboo, Corellians, Geonosians, Mandalorians, Hapans, Mon Calamari, Ewoks (!) and others. But in separate mod, cause it would be non-canon. 

 

 

BTW Why did you changed avatar? I liked the old one, altough it's manga   ;D

[Droid803]

My mandalorian soldier model is the basic one in FoC . The Mandalorian Elite is the one that's reskinned (by 1upD).

 

Haha the mini factions thing would own. The ewok invasion!

 

BTW Why did you changed avatar? I liked the old one, altough it's manga

I felt I needed a change? lol.

[Filo]

Yeah, 100 ewoks per quad  ;D And upscaled one - commander with termal detonators and wooden ewok starfighters  ;D ;D ;D

 

YES, I still prefer canon

[jedi_consulor]

Actually a good job it is a private mod.. a LOT of those idea's are very similar or the same as in sote which we have already implimented in the mod Alpha builds Modding your own private mod is fun though - you can build it just to the way you want to play a game. 

[Filo]

Yeah, I've read some about SOTE and in fact landing platforms are there too, but... there is nothing more which is a similar idea.

 

Golan/XQ platforms are on most mods. The idea to build them only on most importnant planets is from z3r0x mod, ok, but if I use something not mine, I write it below.

And everyone can 'invent' new planets or realistic scales.

 

The rest like Ship Yard Building (which I just HATE) doesn't appear in this mod.

So where are your 'LOT ideas very similar or the same as in sote' huh?  Please don't tell me that I stealed or copied something, could you? I invented myself all of those ideas.

 

This post was based on information from this site: http://forums.filefront.com/sw-eaw-modding-mapping-editing/298359-mod-sote-tbr.html

Maybe something changed, but again: I invented myself all of those ideas.
