k's future units pack

Would it for instance be possible to merge parts of the Area-51 and Fire Fighter units? Use the suit of Area-51, but have the weapon and fire effects of the fire fighters? In addition recolour the fire weapon effect to some blue, so it can pass as a plasma cloud? I'd like to have a Plasma Thrower unit.

well,

i cant say ill succeed, but ill try, haven't messed with infantry yet.

 

[Agent327]

any requests for something special?

Ummm... some Master of Orion (II) type spaceships?

 

[keldath]

JEELEN, actuallyi dl some moo units and started to tweak them,
but then i figured i haven't got much use for them..

after ill release my first dune wars version, ill get into unit making stronger, and ill do some models for you guys.

 

[Agent327]

That's cool. (Actually, I'm quite interested to see your 1st Dune Wars version myself.)

As the creator of the Area 51 infantry, i must say it is very simple. I spent more time editing the .dds for the clone worker to wear white than actually making the unit. I would suggest using nifscope, but nifviewer would also work.

If keldath can't find the time, would you be interested in doing this unit?

 

[mechaerik]

I would rather not discourage keldath, but if he abandons it or can't do it (after checking it out, the plasmathrower WILL require re-boning), i can do it.

 

[Maniac]

I'll send keldath a PM, but since he's got plenty of other stuff to do to create his Dune mod, I expect he wouldn't mind someone else doing unit graphics.

 

[keldath]

hi guys,

mechaerik,

it would be really great if you can do this for maniac,

though i really like nifscope,

im spending my time on dune mod, as it turns out...i have more then i can handle,
also abandoned my beloved overlord2 mod...that screams for an update...

so i really hope you can help 2 busy busy modders....

 

[mechaerik]

I actually finished the unit before i even posted earlier. But i can't upload it right now (blame this really crappy connection).

 

[keldath]

heheh....thats really great !

we will wai t )


thanks!

I played again a bit with the textures, the main texture from the Final Frontier battleship fits also good for the rovers .

 

[Maniac]

Without any modifications necessary? What texture needs to be replaced?

Judging from FfH's race promotions, it's possible to let units have different graphics depending on what promotions/special abilities they have, so for that I could always use varieties of the same unit.

 

[The_J]

Use the FinalFrontier_Battleship\Battleship_DIFF.dds instead of the foilchassis.dds, looks also good (no modifications needed).
Tried also the others, hovers are a bit better, but not really good.


Promotions/Graphics: Imho in this case, this is just an "accident".
I think, they use the Civ4UnitArtStyleInfos like in normal BtS to create a different look for the civilizations.

That, and promotions.
