Star Wars: The Mod - Unit requests

[Darth Bob]

That sounds good. But as for keeping the eras simple, the Leviathan class and other Jedi civil war things could probably be used in the mod because compared to the Clone War and Galactic Civil War ships they are very obsolete and if made that way, I believe they could be very good for the timeline of units by having them upgrade to some Clone War warship like the Acclamator, Victory, or Venator.

 

[odintheking]

Well, we should put that on the shelf with the Yuuzhan Vong. We should come back to that later, but for now we want the regular mod out first. We already have too many units to do right now,

 

[Darth Bob]

That is very true odin. By the way does anyone have any idea how long it will be until the Venator Star Destroyer and the ships of the Confederate navy come out? Even an estimate would be nice.

I am working on a Venator. (modeling is one, texture is mostly done (I might tweak it), rigging is 30-40% done, animation is 0% done (last step)) I think someone else is too. I won't get to mine for several weeks at the soonest. I have some naval ships I wish to do first.

 

[Darth Bob]

Thank you for the information Bjornlo. I have been curious about how far the ships are to being done for some time.

 

[BlackHand]

I've got a Venator, but haven't even touched it. I won't since Bjornlo's working on one, so I can focus on the Confederacy ships. Might take me a while, though, since I'm still trying to learn the whole unit-making process, but we'll see how it goes.

 

[odintheking]

Well, I finished the MTT. I also have put some new pedias,

 

[odintheking]

I have now posted a brand new T-16 Skyhopper,

 

[Chris85]

Awwww man, I wanted to do the T-16. Oh well, whats done is done.

I've starting working on the attack anims for my next 3 units the Hailfire, Tank Droid, and Homing Spider Droid. For the Hailfire Droid I'm doing a missile attack of course. The Tank Droid is going to have 2 lasers firing at the same time in AttackA and on AttackB it's going to have alternating laser fire. The Homing Spider Droid is a complicated one, I'm going to have its laser beam fire straight forward then swivel it's laser dish over to the left and do a sweeping shot back towards the front and then go to the right and have a sweeping shot on that side back to the front which should look pretty cool when it's done. Sorry guys no previews yet, but I should have those units done sometime next week.

 

[odintheking]

Hey everyone! Hikaro has a new LD/unit lottery! We should all post in it, and I think we should request a Mon Mothma LD.

 

[jobiwan7]

I've requested Dooku or Palpatine leaderheads.

Also, could someone consider either converting this to .3DS or actually making it? I'm thinking it could be used as a Republic "supership," like a Madator-II or something.

 

[BlackHand]

That'd look pretty badass in-game though, thats for sure.

[edit] No, its not in .3ds format, so my apologies to anyone who read this before I edited it...haha

 

[SheepMonster]

we should go for mon mothma... lets complete GCW first, then CW, then SW [sith wars], then EU.

And also, you could just email the maker and ask for the 3DS format...

 

[Chris85]

Alright I'll request Mon Mothma too.

 

[jobiwan7]

On the topic of that Republic Supership:

If we can get in into 3DS format (any luck, anyone?), can OpenFX handle this? It might be too detailed.

 

[Chris85]

As long as the ship has less than 65536 faces OpenFX can handle it. If it has more than that we have to use a program that can handle it to break up the model into smaller pieces and less faces.

 

[Bjornlo]

Bryce is really cheap and can handle several million poly models.

 

[jobiwan7]

Well, I've been practicing in OpenFX a little, and I'm TRYING to do the Banking Clan Frigate. What do you think?

 

[Stormrage]

I love it! SW is gonna rock! Bigtime! Thanks jobi!

 

[BlackHand]

That looks AWESOME! Jobiwan, is there any way you could teach me how to do that? I'd really like to try to knock off the Providence-Class, as it's really bothering me that I can't do anything more than a default.
