these hardpoints are really lookin like the bones in generals.. exexpt destructible.... very interesting in generals once the vehicle took enough damage.u could hide parts of the model.. or revert to a new model altogether.. .. and create the illusion of hard point destruction :/ Basically tho i found out that if u dont have the hardpoints in the code.. anywhere. the model has full health.. but its hardpoints gone.. and its smokin at those hardpoints.. since i didnt code the smoke coming out of the hardpoints.... they must be something in the hardpoint itself.. saying.. destroyed=smoking hardpoint This could really be used by making a generic ion cannon.. missile launcher.. ect ect.. and placing them on units.. and u only have to code the hardpoint once. :/ sorry i rambled too much

maybe as an experiment. i should try importing an ALO with the W3d importer.. by renaming it :/ just as an experiment

asterioids are soo small gravity from them is negligable.. 2- IF they are in orbit they should be traveling at 1000's of MPH.. or. gallactic units per hour? just to stay in orbit..an engine failure would just keep it in the same orbit in same direction..but if it even slowed down a bit..it would fall to a planet.. :/ all this aside It should be starwars ish.. engines down = no speed/ acceleration all u can do is turn 360 degrees..

hardpoints wouldnt be that hard to take out.. but maybe the whole ISD no.. they need a Power Core hard point that has lots of health

they cant add anymore units.. they said the game was done like a few months ago

Looks like the Carrack cruiser was a lot closer to being in the game than we thought - - -

i notice they move slower.. but even that shoulnt be right

if it is anything like generals the texture name will be no where to be found in any coding .. rather all textures go in a folder.. named..textures... then u apply the texture in a 3d app the game reads this info... and looks for the texture in the textures folder since we cant edit 3d models yet .. no importer.. no exporter.. we have to wait.. or if u have somehow extracted them.. make a new skin that covers the same locations as the original skin..

personally i think its pretty low.. some look suprizingly low that bump mapping and the shaders (the bloom makes it look cool)

most mods have them. or the latest versions of them do..

wait.. does this game make every turret a hard point.. and the source of the engine as hard points.. in generals u defined stuff like that with a small diamond shaped bone. whos name corresponded to its use... normally . if so.. hardpoints might not be hard at all to make.. ... just enabling it to show it on ground battles.. hmm

well buildings.... . :/ but think about it.. taking out the treads or legs of vehicles

im pretty much assuming we are all waiting fore a petro release.. a map editor would take a really long time to make

Just finished moddin generals .. so i moved on to EAW .. nice and easy to learn but any more experienced modders know if you could have hardpoints in buildings or ground units.. per say.. attacking an at at's neck with missiles?

Im very interested in this as well

well im assuming they dont give you the entire rebel experience as well.. so well just have to wait. if eveyone wants Imps .. they have to wait for retail... good marketing..

Demo release date to be given out on friday !!! woo says lucas forums.. its one of their stickys.. u have to sighn up to get the newsletter with it.. but someone will post it no doubt

Ha ha ha.. i know lots of people that would like to burn down ea.. but.. we cant do that legally cant we.. and another thing You are playing generals with BFME 2 textured units Same engine they just tweaked it. and added LOTR stuff into it.. Its still westwoods old SAGE engine EA just wants to make the most profit off the engine that old westwood made

i personally thought this article was really good.. I cant wait for EAW to topple BFME 2

Ever since my affiliations with cnc-files.com.. have i hated EA They ruined everything when they took over.. and it wasn't until recently that they fixed the Horrid uber bad "scud bug" and a host of other exploits for generals.. They really dont care for the customer once u dish out ur $$$ while i have to admit bf 2 is good, their Games are incomplete.. and full of bugs.. not to mension extremely rushed. We will never see RA3 because EA had to be such (*#&$ ... but at least they left and made petroglph.. too bad they couldnt take the licences of cnc and the ideas with them.. BF 2 was a game that would have been great.. had it been completed.. now ..they have 3 patches.. not even counting the first one. .since that one needed patching because that patch sucked soo bad Now we are being told that they will have mini expansion packs that cost 10 $ to buy online for bf 2 coming soon .. so what.. does that mean no more patches with new content.. that means.. that u just took our 50 bucks and arent even going to give us the complete game!!?!?! Horrible support for the player base.. EA is doomed .. it will be boycotted soon..i can just feel the anger in people seeing games rushed.. that could have been instant classics

THere is plenty of cnc related stuff goin on.. just not much of it is exiting.. mods that.. will be finished in about 4 more years.. cough halo gen cough most people moved on.. just like the westwood peeps

it was not a pun. not intentionally so those who are intellectually challenged may now calm down

no it was not a pun.. not intentionally but it would sound soo good since i have a really good speakers i got a z-5500 digital 5.1 a few months ago and it sounds great its hooked to my sb audigy 2 zs notebook swbf 2 sounds awsome bf 2 sounds awsome ... and now one of the best sw rts of all time.. it better sound good .. they go cinematic mode.. this would make it a much better experience

Well we all know that the music in the game, if its anything like Force commander.. and from some of the trailers .. sounds like it, the sound will be awsome but what i really want to ask is do you think that any type of surround sound will be supported like swbf 2 and 1 dolby pro logic 2 ? It would make this game.. sooo much better

I registered on the forums just to say this You guys rock.. been playin your games since the westwood days.. hmm command and conquer.. still playing them.. Loved em soo much i posted news and files for a files site And now you are going to merge CNC and starwars together , Good RTS, Good Univerce Awsome job on the game Dont rush it Have some happy holidays
