Yup. Story XMLs. -
Apparently you didn't even try to find one... They're everywhere. Try EaW Files...

Make sure your infantry all use SQUAD_INFANTRY_LOCOMOTOR for the infantry.

Nope, it needs a tractor beam hardpoint AFAIK, and if you add the hardpoint it'll work. Just makeit nontargetable and non-destructable and have it fix onto ROOT. -
Yes, they're now rectangles not circles. Circles were despicable for such square ships. The Kedalbe stays as a circle since its...rather circular anyway. ANd yes, the Aratech Battle Platform would be for the empire, but frankly, they have enough going for them already ;P

Nope, haven't got more. Anyhow, HBD C&C King

Hmmm...really, I've always thought it was some green lights...lol Anyhow, I realized I forgot to put as summary up,,,

lol yes its my birthday but I'm not 107...try subtracting 91 from that.

Yes, its about 80% done. Its longer than the others combined lol. well, three chapters to a bonus installment I guess. Bonus Chapter: Star Wars Universe-Specific The Return of Lord Zall Dramatis Personae: Lord Zall - Human Dark Jedi (Male), Dissapeared into the Unknown Reigons with his flagship Remeberance and fleet seven hundred years prior after winning a battle at Ennae, never seen or heard of since Fneg'nil - Red Ssi-Ruuvi Jedi Master (Male), developed special lightsaber form for himself Erra - Human (Female), operator of Ennae Station - a battle station/civillian space station It has been seven hundred years since Zall dissapeared at the Second Battle of Ennae, the galaxy isn't what it used to be. Much has happpened, and to one that has been away, gathering his power, it is time to collect the galaxy. PART ONE Fneg'nil sat at the bar at Ennae Station and gazed out at the captivating swirling green clouds of the Gas Giant which the station orbited. He looked again at the swirling clouds then at the note in his hand, the words "Zall is returning" scribbled on it. If it were indeed true, then the Dark Jedi was returning after seven hundred years. As impossible as it may seem, the council was convinced, they even went as far as sending a Jedi to Ennae, Zall's last known position, to investigate. The words of the council members still rang in Fneg'nil's head. "We very well know this could easily be a hoax, no human lives for seven hundred years, not even a Jedi. If he is indeed returning, he is too dangerous to leave alone. That is why you are to go to Ennae, where we believe he is most likely to return." Fneg'nil laughed. They said it themselves - no human lives for seven hundred years. And if he did, his ship, a Praetor-class Star Battlecruiser, was outdated when he got it. Its an ancient relic by now, along with the rest of his defunct fleet of Imperial-II's. Ennae Station itself would be able to annihilate his entire fleet of seven hundred year old ships, providing they even functioned after that long without refit or resupply. Yet, Fneg'nil couldn't dismiss the feeling that something wasn't right. "It looks like the council was right, I'm reading multiple unidentified hyperspace signals comming in. nothing existant now uses such...crude hyperdrives. It's Zall's fleet alright." Erra said, strolling in casually. "You sure it isn't just some smuggelers with a bunch of salvaged ships?" Fneg'nil cringed. He never got used to his voice in Basic. He preferred Ssi-Ruuvi when he could use it. "You ever seen a smuggeler fleet with forty ships over a kilometer long?" "Good point." No smuggeler or pirate fielded a fleet of such behemoths, it was an easy way of getting caught. "Anyhow, I had the station's cannons charged just in case, should they prove hostile." "Hmm...well, it really doesn't seem he'll respond to...peaceful negotiations, will he?" "How'd you guess?" As they spoke, one by one, the ships of Zall's fleet appeared out of hyperspace. Indeed, the first ships that came out were seven-hundred year old Imperial-II star destroyers, looking fitting of running for seven hundred years without a repairs - semi-blasted-open hulls and blackend surfaces covered the ships. Much to Ennae Station's gunner's amazement, they began to deploy fighters and open fire on the station. "Well, they're here." Erra stated. "Yea, well...What the heck is that thing?" Fneg'nil exclaimed as a large, dark, triangular shape appeared. Erra turned to face the direction Fneg'nil was pointing. "Im..possible... How did Zall get that?" "Exactly. Now, it seems I have a job here after all." Fneg'nil got up from his seat, picked up his lightsaber-cane and walked briskly out of the bar. Fneg'nil chose the worst possible hangar to land his starfighter in when he arrived at Ennae Station. It was closest to the battle, yes, but it was also the most vulnerable, and as such, when the Ssi-ruuvi Jedi reached the hangar, it was in a state of confusion, with stafighters scrambling to join the battle. Unfazed, Fneg'nil strode towards his personal starfighter, and entered it. At that moment, as he prepared to exit the hangar, a chunk of Star Destroyer struck the hangars force-field and disabled it, exposing it to the vacuum of space. Naturally, everything inside was sucked outinto the battle, and even those lucky enough to be inside a starfighter at the time was hurled out into the void, colliding with refitting equipment. Fneg'nil cursed and activted his starfighter's propulsion system as it spun wildly, colliding with several others. He quickly flew up and over the battle, and surveyed the scene. There wer approximately 30 Star Destroyers alongside a large dark trianglular ship, with more Star Destroyers entereing the system once in a while. For their dismal appearance, something about the fleet made them much more...resilient than statistically possible. "No sign of the Remeberance, but Zall's sure got some new toys, newer than seven hundred years at least. Might as well take out some of their fleet before the flagship arrives." Fneg'nil headed back into the battle, and began taking down the outdated TIEs. Though unshielded, slow and and ancient, they proved somewhat of a challenge to destroy. They took several hits to destroy, and they fired with frieghtening accuracy for such outdated technology. Nimbly piloting his much-more-up-to-date starfighter and cutting a path through the swarms of strangely-tough TIEs, Fneg'nil approached the large triangle. "Any ID?" "No, not yet, but hey, who needs to know what that is? Fill it with torpedoes." Erra shouted out of the comm. "Yea yea..." Fneg'nil lined up directly along the center of the triange and flew towards the protrusion that he determined would be the most logical location to place the bridge and unleashed a volley of torpedoes. They struck the structure, and split it from the main hull, sending ribbons of fire spiraling into the surrounding battle. The ship heaved and split roughly in two along the center, the two halves slowly spiraling away from each other in symmetry. Fneg'nil, satisfied that the large ship was destroyed, pull upwards, and concentrated on the TIEs. "What's this...I'm getting multiple hyperspace signatures from the far side of the battle. Over sixty unidentified ships. Watch out, these things are newer, we didn;t detect them with the other batch, they must have some kind of jammer..." All at once, a second fleet of ships entered the system, the ships in the as visually unspaceworthy as the other fleet. "Ha, its just another rag-tag fleet like this last one we're mopping up." Fneg'nil replied. *** Zall sat at the throne in the bridge of the heavily-modified Preator-class Battlecruiser Remeberance, watching the battle unfold below his cloaked fleet. The two little spectacles below were entertaining enough for the time being. Zall fiddled with his fingers and smiled. "Those fools don't know what they're up against!" Zall laughed, "They think that simply because I dissapeared for seven hundred years, that I have not aquired new equipment, nor new knowledge? Then I would be dead!" Zall's voice echoed in the empty bridge deck. Of course, everyone else had naturally died six hundred years ago, but Zall did not let their bodies rest. He had willed them to remain functional and they continued to run the ships of his fleet as mindless drones. Of course, Zall knew of how to preserve their sentinence, he had done so upon himself, but it was ultimately more satisfying to have an army of obeying creatures that spared no thought for themselves. He liked to give them orders verbally, just as a game for himself - he could have just as easily transmitted his thoughts into their minds and they would obey. "That's enough fun for today. Uncloak the fleet and annihilate them!" PART TWO Fneg'nil was busy balancing time between dogfights with ancient, yet sturdy, TIE fighters and bombing runs on the capital ships when Zall's true fleet emerged from cloaking. "Uhh...I don't think I need to announce this one..." Erra voiced over the comm. "No I believe you do not." Breaking off from the dogfight, Fneg'nil headed towards the large ship from which he sensed a powerful force-sensitive being. "That big ugly one," Fneg'nil muttered, "is the flagship." "And you know because...?" "Its painted on the hull." "Oh." Fneg'nil easily identified the Remeberance, but the other components of Zall's cloaked fleet was a unknown to him. "So, he was playing with us all along." Fneg'nil mused, unleashing another volley of torpedoes at Zall's flagship. To Fneg'il's surprise, they reflected off the surface of the ship and headed back for his starfighter. "Uh...not good." Fneg'nil muttered to himself, "Those rockets locked on to ME?" Even while doing evasive maneuvers and the best missile-evasion techniques, the torpedoes managed to hit the nible starfighter and send it spiralling at the suppositively shielded bridge of the Remeberance. *** Zall laughed as he watched the starfighters pitiful attempt to destroy the bride backfire. Zall laughed when the torpedoes struck the starfighter. Zall stopped laughing when it came hurtling towards where he was sitting. Then, Zall thought of something and continued to laugh. PART THREE Fneg'nil stepped out of the wreckage of his starfighter and into the empty bridge deck of the flagship Remeberance. As he did so, a hysterical voice filled the chamber. "I have been waiting for you, lizard." The voice laughed. "Zall," Fneg'nil spat, igniting his lightsaber cane, "reveal yourself!" "Why, that is no fun. In fact, its only fun to watch youlose your mind as search for me...hahahaha!!! Just like what I did to the crew, it was ehilirating!" "You're a madman, Zall, stop this at once." "Stop talking like you know me, lizard. And oh, I have no doubt I am mad, but my will is more powerful than yours, petty Jedi." "We shall see about that. Reveal yourself" Fneg'nil searched the room with his mind's eye, prying into every corner for a clue that would give away Zall's location. Yes, he had mastered concealing his position perfectly, but those who are overconfident, escpeically those who are mad, are always sloppy in their work. Indeed, that was what happened. "Found you." Fneg'nil through his lightsaber cane at Zall and he appeared, activated his single blade, and deflected it with a sideswipe. "Not bad, lizard. Where'd they teach you that? The terrarium?" "Overconfidence is every madman's downfall." Fneg'nil said as he caught his cane in his hand. "Now that you're in plain sight, let us begin in earnest." "Gladly." Zall laughed hysterically as he leapt from where he stood. Fneg'nil easily sidestepped his overeager downward strike and returned with at slash of his own. Zall, blocking and spinning, returned with a blast of lightning and slash, both of which were blocked. As the two fought, the battle outside raged on, most of Zall's false fleets as well as the station's fighter screen destroyed and the cloaked fleet moving in to bombard the station at close range. After a minute trading lightsaber and force attacks as well as insults, Fneg'nil lashed at Zall with his tail, which managed to place the demented Lord Zall off balance. Fneg'nil slashed at Zall, but Zall dissapeared. "You fight well for a lizard," Zalls voice laughed hysterically. "but ultimately you fail to see that you cannot strike me down. I can return from a spirit, you cannot defeat me" Zall reappeared on top of the console where he stood when Fneg'nil hurled his staff at him. "You think that death does not obey my will?" Zall laughed again. "And you're the fool who believes that you are a Jedi, a master at that." "I do not indulge myself in knowing forbidden secrets of the Dark Side as openly as you, and you yourself are proof of its effects. It has turned you away from reason." "All the better. Rational thinking is a limitation! The force has so much more to offer than petty powers!" Zall tossed his head back and laughed. As he did that, Fneg'nil prepared a blast of energy that would not only destroy Zall's body, but incapitate his spirit as well. "Interesting. I am intrigued to see how so." Fneg'nil continued casually, as if nothing has happened. "Let me show you..." Zall raised his hands, and laughing, he brought forth holocrons of long-deceased sith lords and activated them. "Return to the mortal world!" Several Sith Lords began to materialize and Fneg'nil realizied that if he did not strike now, he would never have the chance. Unleashing the blast of force energy at the vulnerable Zall, Fneg'nil shouted "DIE!" The bolt struck Zall's body and energy coursed up and down it consuming it as well as its spirit and bringing it into oblivion. The half-materiallized sith lords faded once again and there was silence. No sound from the battle, no sound of a madman laughing. "Overconfidence is your weakness." Fneg'nil headed to the lifts to the hangar. His starfighter would not be operational after that crash, and he figured he might as well steal one of those ancient TIE Fighters. "As it is yours." Zall reappeared behind Fneg'nil and cleaved the Jedi in two. To be continued (?)

I don't think they're teh same as the ones in bailknight's unless bailknight used the MPTL's rocket as the model (Mobile Proton Torpedo Launcher) . And uhh...now I'm asking myself what's the green smoke beside that Nebulon?
-
Its not a model, its a fusion of three props I think: - Several tunnels - Several upside-down vaporators - Several TIE Fighters It'd need to be its own model if its going to spawn TIEs, or did you manage to actually fuse several pre-made models?

Here's the image if you're interested. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v423/kc1991/sweawfoc-20070225-135751.png This is the CC7700... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v423/kc1991/sweawfoc-20070225-141239.png And this is the new proton torpedo projectile.

Ideas for Modelers (Model Request Thread, Image Heavy)
Droid803 replied to Mikan Cyclone's topic in EAW Mods General Workshop
Yea, they were talking about the Neutron-Star-class Bulk Cruiser, its in warlords but that model is made by someone other than EvilleJedi and he can't release it or something. This one's not the same as that one either...lol. Its a generic buk cruiser! Yay! -
I think it'd be easier to just use Notepad , if it is indeed dreamweaver. There might be slightly different formatting for the EaW/FoC XMLs than standard XMLs, so not sure...
-
Yea, but the escape shipsdon't really work :S, the hero or whatever is being transported is lost regardless... It'd be cool to be able to transfer transport ships though. Well, I just copied the code I used for my old mod and done. The CC7700 is in...

Droid803 replied to Mikan Cyclone's topic in EAW Mods General Workshop
Urr...that's an XWA Model of the bulk cruiser if you're wondering. Porting that would break the no-porting law on LA games. So, I don't know if a model for it exists or not. -
Squadron? lol. Its an Interdictor Frigate! Its a warlords model though...I had it in my personal EaW mod, and it looks alright.

Interventions are kind of planet-specific so you need to write a new one for the new GC's. -

I'm not sure if we had one of these: http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/thumb/e/e5/Xwa-bulk-cruiser.jpg/800px-Xwa-bulk-cruiser.jpg in Warlords... a Bulk Cruiser. http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/1/14/RandEcliptic.jpg And the Rand Ecliptic... Yea yea I double posted. -

You'd probably need to recode the interventions, only the old EaW campaigns had them...I don't think the new ones even have a file... -
Um...that's not wise to have something spawn itself...it leads to exponential growth and game crash And uh sorry, I wrote the code wrong its ""...same thing. I'm still waiting on opinions for the CC7700...lol.

is the line I used...Funny, a corellian corvette is a valid projectile... Still needing something "cool" for the rebels in space, there's aboslutely no reason to play as them, pretty much...

Firstly, KoF's warlords conversions are good conversions as well, they're complete and versatile. I'd guess it wouldn't hurt too much... Opinions? Anyhow, I should really add more stuff to the rebels. It seems I've only been working on the Consortium and Empire, and now they balance with each other, but the rebels kinda stink. They even get owned by the Mandalorians. This post's update probably won't get implemented (as in, removed prior to release) if the rebels don't get something soon... :S 3-5 ISD heroes and 3-4 SSD heroes are too much. http://screenshot.xfire.com/screenshot/natural/6d387583cf697a7c16a981f5d33c8ad18da14e41.png http://screenshot.xfire.com/screenshot/natural/df958fb44c96061edf5099f16432011588f9ede3.png The first screen is...dated, I reskinned the Glory since. Yes, in the second screen, the corvette is cloaked...I should tweak its values. But still, its "working" in a sense. When the Glory is destroyed, the Vorknyx spawns from is hangar (well, from the middle of the wreckage, but you can't tell). I wanted Zaarin to survive (and have to respawn) if you win the battle, but if you retreat with the Vorknyx, to kill off Zaarin and have him respawn... There's probably some way to do that with LUA, but now, if you lose the Glory Zaarin is gone too and he must respawn, regardless if you lost his escape ship or not... Ah well. The strange thing is, my mod takes canon concepts and mashes them into a non-canon mess - ie, Zaarin fighting alongside Thrawn, both being grand admirals... not physically possible in canon. Another reason why this idea might just get scrapped... Opinions?
