Star Wars: The Mod - Unit requests

[Chris85]

"plus the Chocobo..."

I've started re-doing the Dark Trooper and the Rebel Trooper. I've also noticed how big the Droideka unit is so I think I'm going to have to resize that one as well. They all should be done soon and after that I can finally get back into making 3-d units.

I'vebeen working on the Droideka meself; trying to add the shield generator for the "Shielded Droideka" upgrade;

 

[Chris85]

What is this?! First he goes to the Zelda avatar when I was thinking about going back to my Zelda avatar and then he starts working on the Droideka when I wanted to do that next. You're one step ahead of me, Odin.

The idea of putting a shield around the Droideka is pretty tight, but the unit does need to be resized, it's huge in game.

Anyway, I just finished and uploaded the Dark Trooper and the Rebel Trooper. They can be found here ---> Star Wars Unit Fixes

 

[odintheking]

Sweet! Anyhoo, at the beggining of the summer you were ahead of me with your Zelda and Darth Vader avatars. I had to slightly change the words over my avatar so I wouldn't look like a copycat. Sweet revenge, I guess,

Oh, can someone (most likely Chris 85, ) convert these storyboards to correct pallette storyboards? I'm horrible with pallettes, and whenever I try to do it myself, FLICster gets all pissed off and freezes my computer, . So, I've attached the storyboards in bmp, which I've resized and everything, just waiting for someone to fix them, . BTW, they are in RAR format, so you will need a program that opens RAR files. Just rename it, and get rid of the .zip at the end.

 

[Chris85]

Alright I'll see what I can do with them.

 

[Chris85]

Woohoo I got'em done!

The Droid Tri-Fighter is completed!

 

[odintheking]

@Chris85 and jobiwan - AWESOME!

On another note, shirou has another election! But by the most-commie-rule-of-the-day(TM), he has banned us from requesting a leaderhead, :thumbdown

 

[jobiwan7]

No, no, no! He says that they must be real people from real countries. All we have to do is request Christopher Lee of Great Britain, and we're all set!

Don't you just love loopholes?

 

[odintheking]

Hey, that's a fiendishly clever idea,

 

[BlackHand]

That's a great idea, I concur If only it'd work...

Odin- I haven't forgotten your K-Wing, the site I knew to have the model isn't there anymore, so it's going to take a bit more searching. You'll get it as soon as I do

 

[jobiwan7]

Does someone need a K-Wing model?

Here is a link Wyrmshadow gave me. It should have what you're looking for.

 

[odintheking]

Hmm... that's a really good site, but the k-wing model there is whacked-out. I'll add the site to the first post, though. There was a good one at swma, but it's been down for weeks.

 

[BlackHand]

Alright, I need some FLICster help.

I've got my storyboards for my animations all done and converted, and now I need to make them a unit in FLICster. I made the new unit in FLICster to get the blank PCX files, but when I overwrite them and re-enter the program, nothing shows up. I think it might have something to do with the palette, which I have...but I'm not quite sure what to do with it. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

 

[odintheking]

Hmm. That's similar to the reason why the Tauntaun hasn't come out yet, and won't come out any time soon. Every time I try to make a new storyboard in FLICster, and modify the pcx in any way whatsoever, and open it in FLICster, FLICster crashes. Every time. Varlin suggested to use Civ3flc Edit, but I can't figure it out.

 

[Chris85]

I'd recommend Civ3FLCEdit because it's better. Although I do still use Flicster sometimes.

First off, do you have the most up to date version of Flicster? The original version had bugs, but the 1.01 version fixed almost all of these.

Are you sure your storyboards are 256 colors?

Is the pcx the same exact size as the storyboard size in Flicster?

 

[BlackHand]

Ahh, you guys are right, Civ3FLCEdit is MUCH better. Is it a problem, though, that the background of my unit is completely grey rather than the standard pink?

Other than that, it looks fine, so hopefully I'll have the FLCs done for the Providence tonight. If there's anyone who can do sounds for the Providence, let me know...I'm bound to need the help with that.

 

[odintheking]

I'm pretty sure I have the updated FLICster, but I'll reinstall it anyway. Yes, the storyboards are 256, (I even used yours for the tauntaun.) And the in other cases the pcx is the same size, because it is the one FLICster gave me.
