Now this took me a while. Below is the "raw code" for the Arc_Hammer non hero version. It uses the Star destroyer for its base code but works for skirmish so presumably for GC as well (this is as well as the hero version I think). Its available at level 4 imperial station and a player can only use 2 at any one time. Make a new XML called Units_space_empire_arc_hammer.xml then copy/paste this code in: <?xml version="1.0"?> <SpaceUnitsCapital> <SpaceUnit Name="Arc_hammer2"> <Text_ID>TEXT_UNIT_ARC_HAMMER</Text_ID>

If anyone wishes to update this with more sounds then feel free.

Right then. In trying to convert my NTB630 bomber I've hit a slight snag. For some reason the bombers texture/skin is showing as though the UV co-ordinates are severaly screwed. I managed to fix this before but can't get it to work now and I dont' remember what I did before. Now I've followed Bex tutorial for model conversion and this is my last possible place to call for some much needed help. So my question is, has anyone had this problem and remember how to fix it. Bare in mind that I do use Milkshape 3d for modelling and texture application and 3dmax 6 for conversions.

I can't help with the galaxy divided request, but I've got to enable the venator myself, so give me an hour or so and I'll post the files here. *Quick Update. Find attached is the Empire Venator enabled for GC and skirmish which has squadrons of V-wings and Tie Phantoms.

AGGRESSOR ASSAULT FIGHTER ------------------------------ I know I posted a download for this but perhaps just posting the code would help as well.

create appropriate entries in the MasterTextFile.dat file, or just grab the minimod I already posted.

Although the readme states this, anyone can use this without permission for what ever purpose they like. I'm just glad I can actually provide something for a change.

After noticing that the Consortium side only has two fighter classes (well one fighter and one bomber), I decided to fiddle around and see if I could create an addition and this is basically the results. Yes, I know its nothing special, but this attached minimod basically adds a buildable squadron of IG2000 fighters, or as I was informed by Kelathin the "Aggressor Class Assault Fighter". Each squadron (as shown in the image below), is made up of three ships. There is a couple of minor bugs but for all intents and purposes this minimod has been tested and is fully working. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/major58/aggressor.jpg

Yep, or at least it seems to. In adding hangars to a few capital ships I had the game tell me where the error was, so it was easily fixable.

I say definately a sticky. Considering that this is likely to be ongoing. Many thanks for the executor code. Defiantely going to give this a try later today.

Great stuff. How about a usable executor style mod (but not vadars personal version)?? I've tried to do this code several times but had no luck.

Well my personal take is that the bar should have been split and had tabs. One for fighters, cruisers, frigates and capital ships and a final one for rersearch upgrades.

You can create either a mods folder (as directed for the latest patch of stock EaW) and use a specialised shortcut to run the mod, or you can create an XML folder in your DATA folder instead, and this DOES work for both as well.

Monkeybiz. With regards to the limits of the bar. I'll be working on some sort of work around as I've actually run out of space myself. I'll keep you posted if I get anywhere.

Good going Monkeybiz. A useful selection of ships to add simply because your not trying to add such ships as the eclipse or Executor (I tend to believe these ships are far to large for a standard game). One question. Do those capital ships break up when destroyed (I think its the death clone), or not?? I'm just wondering.

Nice response (and I am being sarcastic). Instead of acting like a whining brat do something about it.

I've been 3d modelling now for almost 7 years and I'm fully aware what "lag" is and how it effects the games, so kindly don't think to assume I'm just some newbie who knows nothing. Also not everyone has a powerful rig. It also doesnt do the game any favours when playing online either. Interesting that you should ask why be part of a community if your not willing to share, but after seeing soem of the responses in this thread it makes me wonder why theres a community. This'll be my final take on it, but feel free to have the last word.

My simple question is why keep hinting at the warlords models. Whilst EJ did a spectacular job with almost all of them the bottom line is they haven't been optomised for EaW or FoC conversion, and the simple truth is most of the capital ships are way to high poly counts for there to be to many of them. Also, and this is likely to sound selfish, why should anyone convert anything just for the communites usage?? If you want them THAT bad then do the work yourself. However, that being said, I do have a few, already modded units in a non-FoC minimod that I put together, but havent released and its not because I don't want to. Its simply because I haven't had the available time to as yet. Perhaps I might release it around wednesday once I sort out the credits for it. It doesn't add a whole lot. Just a few new space fighters for each side, edits a few stock units, and updates a few other things (like three levels of space mine upgrades instead of 2).

EJ will not convert his models to ALO. He said that himself. Thats also the reason why he released his models to the public. The bottom line here, is that these modding teams do the work they do, not for the community (if that was the case the sense dictates that a mod team would ask the community for their input in the mods content), but for the team and its simply a matter of their being nice that the mods are released. Scott. Your statement concerning model theft is incorrect. Its not the re-release that causes problems. Its when a persons hard work (for which they don't receive any kind of payment aside from the recognition behind whatever they do) is blatantly defaced by someone who calls themself a "modder". Until you actually have it happen to you, you won't know what its like. However, the flip side of the coin is, if I make a model then I'll nearly always grant its usage, and this is very true due to my posting my unconverted meshes on the site that I'm admin of. Its also why you'll see my models in several of the popular trek based games. Anyway, as FoC is out now, and I've gotten myself a copy I might see about making some small releases, and maybe a minimod of my own.

Hmmmm, have you actually got it yet to see how the layout is?? By the sounds of it the answer is no. Therefore you can't make that kind of assumption. In modding the many games i have in the past, I've found out that the amount of files that you have in large scale projects can run into several thousand, so who cares how many files the game has. As long as its moddable to a high degree.

Have you given it a quick clean?? You'll be surprised how much dust can accumulate (even in a fairly short amount of time). Oh and with regards to whats running. You'll find theres usually a hell of alot of other things that are running. Have you tried CTRL+ALT+DELETE (Pressed 1 time only), to check what tasks are running?? Also how many icons are in the bottom right hand corner??

That tank droid is an official unit that was removed/replaced in episode 3. Apparently it was even created to the point of a fully generate cgi model but never made it into the final film. That reference pic is shown on the episode 3 snap shots. As for the attempt. Well it was going okay up the point of building the top of the model. I tried for almost 4 hours solid but couldnt' get the top section to look right so I went with another design. I doubt the model itself will surface any time soon as it looks butt ugly.

Ultimate Unwrap 3d. In fact I would go so far as to speculate, that the program will enable you to make some edits to the model directly and resave it back out.

Its not difficult to reverse convert an ALO. You just need the right program and plugin.

When you create your new icon you need to create an alpha channel for it, then import/load it into the MTD editor and check the results using either psp or ps. If the background is gone then all has gone well (it took me about 8 attempts before I managed to get it right, but I'm using Paint shop pro, not photoshop).

Not strictly true. If that was the case then there would have been details on restrictions within the games ELUA. Also did it occur to you to contact them directly and ask??

The demo was well put together. Whilst it gives an albeit short lived experience, it does allow you to see some very good units and interesting special weapons. I was quite glad to see a Kamino land based map, but I was disappointed to its still capable for vehicles to be used (troops would have been far more realistic to the actual kamino city).
