Star Wars: The Mod Strikes Back

[starwarscrazy]

ok, im there. BTW, which pedias are needed? I'm having a few difficulties

( )

with the program to make them, so i figure why not just type them up in word, upload them, and let someone else cut&paste.

 

[odintheking]

Sure. We can do it afterwords. For now, just write them.

 

[SheepMonster]

Its not possible for civ specific leaders.

In the latest film, the Juggernaught fired a fair few missiles as well as the lasers - attack 2 or something? Missiles are easier to be made to look good than lasers, right?

If its any easier, we could always create our own web site with forums and stuff, like what we had on freehttp a while back - with all the stuff together, it would be easier to maintain and keep up, i would have thought. Pleb closed the previous site down (although it still exists somehow0 because there was little to no bandwidth - so i suggest that if anyone can, we modify it again to be a forum site, but without downloads and stuff.

Tzavong Lah would be the leader for the Yuuzhan Vong... Anyone, i renamed the leader unit 'commander' in my mod, so tht could act as Commander Lah, Commander Skywalker, Commander Piett (he was a commander a while back...), commander droid thing......etc etc etc.

The carrack cruiser, its oK for now, but maybe if we modified it a bit so it looked slightly more like the cruiser than just use that as it is - i would if i could, but i can't, because i'm rubbish, but yeah.....

Non-unit work that needs to be done: [sheepy's version...]
+Leaderheads / Flics.
-Flics and Leaderheads of General Grevious of Count Dooku.
-Flics and Leaderheads of Chancellor Palpatine
-Flics and Leaderheads of Mon Mothma, Admiral Ackbar, (or General Madine.)
-Flics and Leaderheads of Overlord Shimmra, or Tsavoing Lah
+Civilopedia
-Civilopedia Icons for all units, buildings, wonders, etc.
+Buildings/Wonders
-City screen small / large building graphics, + civilpedia entries
-Wonder Splashes
+Units (non creation)
-Civlopedia entries for all units
+Interface
-Interface (um, not much else to put here). Try and keep it star wars based as opposed to trying to make it look really cool or anything - the star wars universe is lived in, so dont make it too flashy.
+Civilization Advances
-I know you are all working on this already, i jsut felt it needed to be added.
+City View
-Are we going to base the mod for conquests 1.22, where there is no city view, or ptw, where there is? I would suggest javing no city view, as it is painful to do and doesn't always look that good...
+Map
-Work out a map with hyperspace lanes and stuff that reflects the star wars galaxy map. Woo, that'd take a while...

Sorry Chris or anyone else for repeating chris's list, i think i went into slightly more detail, and it made my post bigger, so im happy....

 

[aaglo]

Yes, I think we can use that unit for the Carrack Cruiser.

Here's a comparison:

Carrack Cruiser

La Dav's Spaceship

I'm not sure if you guys ever played TIE-fighter (cool space simulation game), but that La Dav's spaceship looks almost exactly like the Assault Transport (used by both rebellion and the empire). It was a rather tough ship for it's size

@sheepmonster- isn't there an option when selecting the powers of the unit that says 'created from battle,' so all you'd need to do for civ-specific leaders is first delete the regular leader unit and then to ensure only 1 civ can recieve them from battle- ex. General Grievous unit, created from battle, only for Separatists. There are other unit powers of a leader that im forgetting, but it wouldn't be impossible to not have civ-specific leaders (unless im missing something really important here).

Looks like list-making may become a popular new international pastime! Just one thing- i think we are going to make a city view because Chris has been extracting buildings from SWGB, but now that you suggest it . . . and the leaderheads are going to be Count Dooku, Mon Mothma, Chancellor Palpatine, Darth Vader, and Tsavong Lah.

lastly, im starting work on the civilopedia (in word, of course, seeing as my working-with-a-new-program skills are the bane of my existence) and if i do one that's already been done, then sorry in advance, just use the original one.

P.S.- The List: Civilizations, Units, Improvements, Wonders,
????????: Terrain (do we have definite terrain), Technologies (no complete list as of yet)

P.S.S. I came up with a use for the jawa- he could be the early merchant/caravan unit.

@Sheepmonster - The Yuuzhan Vong leader is Tsavong Lah, firstly because he was really in charge of the Yuuzhan Vong, secondly because he was the only YV I could find a pic of,

@sheepmonster
For the forums, I have one set up that I am not using at all. See if it will do.
http://www.armbell.com/forum/?mforum=civ3underground

 

[odintheking]

Sweet! Can you rename it and put up different forums?

 

[Varlin Saliptor]

yes, I am doing right it now in fact.

 

[Varlin Saliptor]

How should it be set up?

 

[odintheking]

At least these:
Star Wars - General Discussion
Star Wars - Unit Requests/Unit Progressions
Star Wars - Graphics Requests/ Graphic Progressions

 

[Varlin Saliptor]

THere we go, it is updated. Forgive me, but there aren't any sub-forums options with that provider

 

[Chris85]

The new B-Wing is up! It's in the same thread as the old one.

B-Wing 2.0

 

[SheepMonster]

Wow, that rocks - and was definitely faster than i expected.

wow b-wing - does it fold up it's s-foils to move or something? Wowzo whatever

 

[odintheking]

Yeah, the s-foils work.

 

[Chris85]

The main reason I redid the B-Wing was to have the S-Foils fold and unfolded.

Right now, I'm taking a few days off from unit making and then I'm going to finish Poly's Lightsaber Yoda and I'll fix up the Jedi Knight and Jedi Master.

 

[odintheking]

Cool!!!!!!
