NEW UNIT: Rakamat/Lava spider

[odintheking]

Hey everyone. This is a conversion of Kinboat's spitting spider. Instead of water, he spits fire. This is for the Star Wars mod. Thanks to Kinboat for the original unit and Chris85 for helping with the pallette.

Nice work. This could be good with several fantasy mods. My Diablo project comes to mind.

Um, Diablo project? I don`t think those a-holes over at blizzard are gonna let ya do it. ...

OMG, I bumped... how da heck did I manage to see Jan in TJ`s post, and then turn it into Jan 06, 2006??? Sorry, guys

 

[Orthanc]

It's okay, I didn't notice the date until you mentioned it, I don't recall seeing this show up before, so it might be good that it was accidentally bumped. eh.

 

[LMR]

I noticed but it is only six months. at least you didn't bump a thread that had been dead for several years (like my first posts did )

Actually there is a way around the A-Holes at Blizzard, which I have dealt with for years on modding. The trick is to use nothing form their games. Everything has to be done by fan based material, nothing they have copyrighted. Names of things in their games aren't truly copyrighted as they borrowed form everyone else. Thier concepts are far from original. Only thier artwork.

I know you are buisy now, with that buisiness thingy starting up, but can we expect the Diablo mod in the (even far?) future? I mean, you haven`t dicarded the idea, right?

 

[tjedge1]

I would never discard it, and maybe sometime in the far future I will make an attempt at it. I have everything that Blizzard published ever for Diablo including the novels. It's the best game they ever put together and I'm not sure they will ever top it, short of Diablo 3. So I will keep it on my to-do list. Although it might be done for Civ 4 by the time I get around to it. I still don't have Civ4 yet, I haven't had the time, as you know.

[odintheking]

Awesome! It's great how this unit can be used in so many different contexts!

 

[Stormrage]

Where were you guys till now? Its an ancient unit, I bumped it by accident

 

[Gojira54]

That's what I've been saying about a Starcraft mod, but everyone is scared of Blizzard.

 

[Heretic_Cata]

WOW warcraft, starcraft and diablo mods would be really cool - hope we'll see one this year (optimism overflow)

 

[Frostyboy]

Since this thread was accidentally bumped, I should like to place those comments I missed when it came out.

I should have liked to see this in action in Warhammer, but it is already two spiders there. I love this one.

Is it used in any finished mod?

 

[Darque]

I'll probobly use this spider in my Dragonia mod for the Drow civ.

 

[Goldflash]

I like crawl biology!!

Don't we all like crawl biology?
