1upD Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 I've tried your GC...I'll have to look at my faction file, but not now, I'm too busy. Your GC looks great! If the CIS only had a more complete unit roundup, it would be an awesome faction. Edit: And don't be sorry about your eagerness...This is a thread that is supposed to be revolving around TUM anyway... : Edit 2: I worked on my ExpansionFactions.xml...I got everything to work! I transposed a letter in my opponent's enemy string...my race is named the Son'a...I forgot the apostrophe..Oops? If possible, could I make a planet invincible to the Death Star's superlaser? Thanks. Yeah, I know. If you capture Nar Shaddaa, you get more unit options.(The Steel Legion) I wanted to add more heroes too. lol, yeah. Good. Son'a...What are they like?

Lavarider Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Ahh...Ok...Nar Shadda...*writes down name* The Son'a are an ancient race, millions of years old. Eons ago, they led a powerful empire that spread across the galaxy, controlling every known species- bothans, sullustans, mon calamari...and humanity. With technology so advanced it seemed like magic, they could not even be resisted. Then, following a great war with an extragalactic species that left hundreds of star systems (including the then Son'a homeworld)dead, the Son'a decided to allow the galaxy to evolve and flourish naturally. Suddenly and without warning, they vanished, from sight and from history...until now. The Empire has found and attacked the new Son'a homeworld, Aether-an ancient, living, highly intelligent, force sensitive planet. Immensely protective of their homeworld, the Son'a have angrily declared war on the Empire and anyone else who gets in their way. Aether cries for blood...... That's their lore...I was writing a book on them before EAW came out. What they are like in game? The Son'a are immortal, and do not die by natural means. Because of this, reproduction is rare, and there are maybe 500,000 of them left in the galaxy. All of their craft (except for a select few) are fully automated, and therefore higly expensive. However, due to the superior intellect of the Son'a race, this technology is VERY powerful. Expect their Nebulon B counterpart, for example, to trash Nebulon B frigates and Acclamators alike, but also to cost much more. The Son'a also play differently than the other races. They are more tactical. You will not win with them by building a fleet of Daemon assault cruisers and attacking the enemy, but using a variet of ships correctly will spell your victory instead. Bow to me, as a slave does before his master, or a peasant before his king. For, you shall soon be as such to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1upD Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 I can't explain right now, but I need everyone who downloaded my mod to delete ALL of the files COMPLETELY. I'll upload a fixed version soon.

Lavarider Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 (edited) Im playing it right now!!! WHY MUST I STOP?!?! Anyway, about TUM, may I make a few suggestions to improve it? Most importantly, the CIS HAS to have a space station. A ship is a cool idea, but every RTS faction needs at least 1 stationary fortress. You need more unique variety. You only have 3 native ship types and 3 fighters...MORES!! Also, although I'm assuming you are using them as placeholders, copying the MZ-8 pulse tank, defilers, Venator, etc. is just bad form. The lucrehulk is supposed to be your star destroyer counterpart, right? Then why on earth is is so easy to kill? It needs to be bigger and have more of a "SCARY THING" factor. You need more heroes. You have zero usable space hero, one weak ground hero, and one acceptable ground hero (torture droid). Space heroes are always more pouplar...may I suggest a new version of General Grevious? He's always a favorite for the CIS. If I think of anything else, I'll let you know. Edited May 15, 2008 by Lavarider Bow to me, as a slave does before his master, or a peasant before his king.

1upD Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 (edited) Im playing it right now!!! WHY MUST I STOP?!?!I believed their was a fatal error in the map data. I'm pretty sure I was wrong...Dang, I deleted the files and everything...I'll reupload it with some improvements in a while... Anyway, about TUM, may I make a few suggestions to improve it?Yes you may. But please realise that the version I released wasn't finished, the whole reason I released it was because I am unable to improve it. Despite the pointlessness of editing a mod I can't play, I think I'll add some stuff to it before I re-upload.Most importantly, the CIS HAS to have a space station. A ship is a cool idea, but every RTS faction needs at least 1 stationary fortress.Yeah, but in order to do that I'd need to rip off the Hutt space station. Meh, maybe I'll find some other model I could use...but at the moment since I can't test, it would be impossible to tweak that without risking disabling them entirely.You need more unique variety. You only have 3 native ship types and 3 fighters...MORES!! Also, although I'm assuming you are using them as placeholders, copying the MZ-8 pulse tank, defilers, Venator, etc. is just bad form.Yeah, I know. I'm not really sure what ships I could add for the CIS. Keep in mind I can't model and can only use free-release models modelors so kindly donate.All of the copied units have a very good reason. They are not just the standard units. They are elite 'Steel Legion' mercenaries. They were part of a fanfic revolving around UN-8311, the IT-0 torture droid. They also represent all of the mercenaries any CIS remnant would have to hire to get a good force, also notice the original CIS hired many mercenaries.The lucrehulk is supposed to be your star destroyer counterpart, right? Then why on earth is is so easy to kill? It needs to be bigger and have more of a "SCARY THING" factor.I think it has to do with the hardpoints. I'll fix it before I put TUM back up.You need more heroes. You have zero usable space hero, one weak ground hero, and one acceptable ground hero (torture droid). Space heroes are always more pouplar...may I suggest a new version of General Grevious? He's always a favorite for the CIS.I know. That was one of my main objectives before the FoC failure. UN-8311(The super GLaDOS IT-0 torture droid) can go on land? I think I had more ground heroes. I had this whole stupid fanfic thing going... Anyways, I was planning on including General Grievous. Of course, there is one obvious problem-HE'S DEAD! However, I found an easy workaround that suits the mod so well I'm ashamed I wasn't able to use it... A while after the Clone War, some Imperial scientits found Grievous' burned out shell and built a droid within it. They gave it two magnagaurds and all of Grievous' possessions. After that, it went rogue, and started attacking spacers on Kashyyk. Actually, it's a true story. It was a large part of Star Wars Galaxies, which I was planning on basing a ton of stuff in my mod on, such as the Death Watch, HK-47, and NK-Necrosis.If I think of anything else, I'll let you know.Thanks.EDIT: Before I post the update, I've got a very important question: Do standard .WAVs work in FoC as sound files? I really need to know soon.

Lavarider Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Hey, speaking of sound files...does anyone know how to properly set them up? I have new sounds for my automated ships, but every time I try to put them in game, nothing happens. I know they are the right format and in the right folder (C:/Prgram Files/Lucasarts/Star Wars Empire at War Forces of Corruption/Mods/Aether's Vengeance) but I don't think I modified the SFXeventsfrigates.xml correctly. Here, I'll post it-can anyone help me out? Bow to me, as a slave does before his master, or a peasant before his king. For, you shall soon be as such to me.

Warb_Null Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Put the soundfiles in the Data/Audio/ directory and in the XML code include the path of the soundfile. like this:Data/Audio/Taking_Damage.wav This should make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1upD Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 (edited) Thanks for stealing my thread again, guys. Crap, the sound for my new unit won't work. Whatever. I'm sorry I haven't been able to upload the update. I'm sure you'll all love the new addition. Especially LavaRider. UPDATE: I put the file back up, with an important update. -http://files.filefront.com/TUM+Unfinishedrar/;10242659;/fileinfo.htmlIf you downloaded the first one, you should redownload it to get the new unit.

It would give me an exception, but then one time I just exited out of the exception and went back to FoC and it worked fine. Either that, or it could be a mistake with the map editor that led to my FoC's demise.

Lavarider Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Actually, the hard rive is OK. The file system failed; really odd.. I was able to recover many of my 3ds max models, my textures, and, luckily for me, I found a backup of my mod on my flash drive. Its a few weeks old, but its better than nothing. I should have my mod back online soon... ;D Want some irony? My Mod data was the only folder I lost in the end... ??? Bow to me, as a slave does before his master, or a peasant before his king.

I was so afraid there would be some mistakes. Temporarily? Why? As long as you put me in the credits, you can keep her in if you'd like. Of course, it is kind of wierd to have Samus running around the Star Wars universe. That's why I usually kind of hid her in the GCs. But I decided to make her playable in full view in the new Galactic Conquest, A Galaxy of Corruption, so people would notice quicker.

Lavarider Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Ok, then, not temporarily...Of course you know she won't have a chance against Quadraxis...he's a bit Op'd right now... Arguably you could say he's supposed to be, but when he goes into battle, steps on about twelve M1 repulsor tnks and kills 6 AT-AT's, I think he needs a little work...

Shadin Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I can't find samus. I played A Galaxy Corrupted,a nd samus is supposed to be on dathomir, correct? I also searched samus in the GC xml, and i found her numerous times, but i never found her on those planets in the listed campaigns...also, V-19s for me are the size of acclamators also the GlaDOS torture droid...portal reference? EDIT: Also, the V-19s dont seem to want to scale...i set it to 0.0000006, and they stayed huge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavarider Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Actually, not really... She's very faulty and actually doesn't appear in game...but I'm tweaking her and will post a copy of the repaired XML's when I have her operational... Edit: My V-19's are fine... a scale of that small may not be accepted by the game. Try .05 and see what happens. Edit 2: Does anyone know how to make a unit turn and face an enemy when attacking? I've got one that works fine if I manually turn it to face them, but It won't on its own (its weapons have a very small targeting fire cine...)
