Star Wars: The Mod Strikes Back

[Chris85]

I'm not unfamiliar to this real world myself.

I'm still "working" on the TIE Bomber Attack.

Alright I haven't actually worked on it for 3 days. My next project is re-doing my B-Wing so I can make it better and have it actually fold an unfold.

 

[mrkingkong]

First proper "days work" iv done in my life!!!

Ok finally, heres the breakin news....IVE SOLVED MY OPEN FX ANIMATION PROBLEM! JUGGERNAUT, HERE I COME!

Turns out the problem was really simple...in fact so simple that its embarrasing. Im not even going to tell you, for fear of you throwing me outta the mod team in disgust .

But the point is... ...were back on schedule! Come on. Unfortunately this also means im going to have to start again on the modelling front, but it should work out fine.

ta ta for now,

Well, the other eras will have to wait. My computer is misbehaving, (i.e. burning my hand when I grab my mouse. 100% true story.) and I'm hijacking my bro's computer while he's at band. This, of course means all of my material for tech trees is on my other comp, therefore, no tech tree for a while, . Secondly, thank you Chris85, Olorin, mrkingkong, polyphemus and everyone else for making units.

 

[Chris85]

Whoa! You said the mouse is burning your hand, thats freaky.

Not to steal your thunder odin, but I'm also devising a tech tree myself that is structured differently.

 

[odintheking]

Sure, that's great. I was just going to update mine, but now, when you finish, we can put them together. BTW, can you make a more beefy unit line with your version?

 

[mrkingkong]

Dont worry about stealing my thunder then.... ....


Good luck with the tech trees boys...or gurls....or both...or whatever

 

[Chris85]

Sure, that's great. I was just going to update mine, but now, when you finish, we can put them together. BTW, can you make a more beefy unit line with your version?

Sure, I'll do that. The tech tree I'm making puts more of an emphasis on game balance and feature a line of civ-specific techs in each era to add more flavor. I'm still pretty far from producing a preview, I might have one ready by Monday.

 

[odintheking]

Hey, just checking in again. (From my bro's comp again. Mine won't even start up anymore) So, it's good to see 4 people each making Star Wars units all at the same time, . I might not be around for a while, so don't wait up for me on that tech tree melding thing.

 

[SheepMonster]

OK, since i'm very fed up with the mod not uploading at all, im going to start trying to upload lots of tiny parts of it, for someone else to download and stick back together. You can see the advisor section, in the graphics forum. I'll try uploading it to our official website thing, but don't expect anything overly user friendly...
Here are two so far...

A list is contained inside of the three other files that i will also upload.
The tech tree thats in there is of the original mod, so please dont get angry with me for ignoring all your work - its there till you all create a replacement tree.

NB - will not work on own.

Edit: WOOHOO! I'VE DONE IT AT LAST!
http://www.angelfire.com/theforce2/starwarsmod/downloads.html now contains a list to all the downloads for the mod - i know there are a few, and prob should be less, but i've had a lot of trouble uploading this stuff, so give me a break.

For units that aren't ready yet, i've just linked all the config file links to some original unit... such as for the shield domes i've used the princess graphic.

 

[odintheking]

Damn! Why did my comp have to go out right now,

 

[Chris85]

Hey, you finally got it up! Actually I'm kinda glad you uploaded it in smaller chunks, now it won't take me 3-4 hours to download one huge file because of my dial-up connection.

 

[Chris85]

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

You're not going to like this Sheepmonster, there's a problem with the downloads on the mod website. It just gives me an Error 404 when I click on the links.

 

[Varlin Saliptor]

I could only get the first file to download...all the others give me the same error as Chris has.

 

[odintheking]

Man, this sucks! A version of the mod, and I'm still stuck with no computer, . Can anyone show me screenies (Once the links are fixed) to drool over?

 

[Varlin Saliptor]

Haha...I will once they work...Only two of the links are working right now.

 

[Olorin0222]

this is a bummer...

 

[SheepMonster]

OK people, i found all the problems in the coding, i think theres something odd with angelfire, it keeps translating the html differently to other places, like geocities and my desktop...... but it all works now.
You may want to disable the trading place or change the unit graphics for 'trade resource' - it doesnt work..... its not an exceptionally well made unit.... just copy in princess default animation or soemthing.

 

[langers1989]

yeah, it works for me now

 

[Chris85]

This thread been quiet for the past few days. Here are some new previews of my TIE Bomber which I'm really close to finishing, I just got to complete the bombard animation and test it in-game to make sure everythings right. The new version should be posted either tomorrow or Monday.

BTW, the previews are of lower quality than the actual animation, because of the limited palette that comes with FLC2GIF.

 

[mrkingkong]

The files sheepmonster-do they make up an actual scenario? ive downloaded them but havent had a chance to go through them yet...

cheers,
mrkingkong
