Star Wars: The Mod - Unit requests

[polyphemus]

i looke dat the first page of the thread, landspeeder is not listed as needed unit. Is this true or some mistake. Because if it's true i made a unit that is not going to be used. But, taking a look on the bright side, the creation of the units helped me with my other units since i used new techniques in the creation of my ssd.

What the link in your sig 'landspeeder' leads to is what is you (correctly called) a speeder bike, so if that's what you're talking about, then you'll notice that in Chris's updated unit list he included that in 'completed.'
There's a common misconception about landspeeders.

These are landspeeders: http://images.google.com/images?q=Landspeeder&svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1

What you are making from the model i gave you (i wanna know what you thought of it- on a scale of 1-10, how crappy was it?) is an air/snowspeeder (has been referred to as both). It isn't on Chris' list (unless he accidentally referred to it as a Landspeeder) but fear not! There is no way that air/snowspeeders would be left out of the game: one word reason- Hoth!

The list on the first page is of units that need to be done, not units already created. I remove a unit from the list when it is created. Polyphemus, you created the Speeder Bike. The one I removed was the landspeeder, the one luke and C-3PO used in episode 4. I see no practical way to use it in-game, but if someone can think of a way, I'll listen,
BTW, you guys are still making teh Airspeeders, right?

 

[Chris85]

The landspeeders I was referring to were the ones the Rebels and Naboo used with gun turrets mounted on them.

Wait a minute, I thought I had Airspeeder/Snowspeeder on my list?

It looks like the A-Wing and the SSD are done, that's 2 more down. My B-Wing is coming tomorrow.

 

[polyphemus]

ya, the AIR/SNOWspeeder is still a go.

Odin: thanks fro clearing things up for me
Chris85: thanks too
SWC: i figured that the air speeder and the snowspeder were the same. <Ill pm you>

 

[odintheking]

Hey, civclub just made a great X-wing! One more down,
BTW; how are the airspeeder and Slave 1 going?

 

[starwarscrazy]

while looking for info on swoop bikes (my own definition of which was dissappointing) i came across these 2 pics each of Techno Union, Commerce Guild, and Banking Clan ships. Unfortunately, none of these matched the other, so just choose which one you wanna do.

Techno Union: 1 2
Commerce Guild: 1 2
Banking Clan: 1 2

 

[Chris85]

2, 2, and 2 is what we're supposed to make.

Hey, everyone. In my anger with my first week of school, I channeled my anger and managed to whip together the SW and S directions of this guys attack. Suggestions?

 

[starwarscrazy]

looks good, but i think it needs to be centered (though i have no idea how to)

 

[odintheking]

The south anim?

 

[Varlin Saliptor]

No, the SW one. It needs to be higher up in the frame

 

[Bjornlo]

The SW direction looks as if it is dropping lower in the frame. The unit should rotate on center mass as viewed from directly above.

Also the flame/beam should move more. Either in pulses or wiggle depeding on what it is.
If it is a flame thrower it should wiggle and curl up slightly.
If it is a beam weapon, it should pulse and release a bolt of energy.
If it is a projectile weapon (MG, etc) it should turn on and grow quickly from small to large then turn off, and repeat.

 

[odintheking]

Ok, I'll move the SW.
@Bjornlo- this is a conversion from GB, so I can't change anything. Besides, I don't know what the hell that thing is,

 

[starwarscrazy]

it looks like something made up by SWGB- i've never seen it outside of SWGB since the droids of the Trade Federation and CIS never mounted any organic cavalry- how is it going to be implemented into the game?

 

[Bjornlo]

Ok, I'll move the SW.
@Bjornlo- this is a conversion from GB, so I can't change anything. Besides, I don't know what the hell that thing is,

No worries then... Centered will do for unit converstions. Since to change things involves the murky, time consuming dark art of C&P.

 

[polyphemus]

hey guys im back. Sorry for not saying this sooner, but school is about to start, and ive gotten wrapped up in reading abd soccer tournaments. SO.. i regrettably have to drop the snowspeeder and hopefully, if i have time, ill complete the slave I, unless others want to do it.

 

[odintheking]

Ok. I was hoping to convert the speeder from GB. I started school two weeks ago,

 

[starwarscrazy]

@ odintheking- how is that unit going to be implemented into the game? Just asking, so you don't put a lot of work into a unit that may not even be in the mod (which is the biggest reason behind making and agreeing on a unit tree).
