Star Wars: The Mod - Unit requests

[BlackHand]

Also, why would C'n'P be any worse than a "real" unit? Some of the best units out there, or at least the most functional ones, are Cut'n'Paste.

I'd have to disagree with you here. I know we've got a lot of C'n'P units, and some of them are very well done, I agree there. But they're just not the same as a flat-out animated unit. The animated units give a much more seamless experience than the C'n'P units that tend either to have glitches or look like they were assembled in Paint. The difference is usually pretty clear, or at least it is for me.

I don't know, that's just my opinion. I'm also a perfectionist, probably even OCD if I got tested C'n'P units also have to be more difficult than animating from a model, because I don't think I could do C'n'P, but have no problems with OpenFX to storyboards and that lot, and I'm pretty much ******** when it comes to those kind of computer things.

I am just the opposite. I HATE openfx, but storyboards and pallettes are simplicity.

 

[odintheking]

Varlin, I am the same way. I'm even good at pallettes now, . BlackHand, some of the best units ever made were c'n'p. I like 3d units, too, but wouldn't it be better to have a healthy balance? Maybe you're looking at the wrong c'n'p units (i.e. my early units, )

Hey! The SWMA site is back up, here!

 

[odintheking]

Awesome, man!

 

[odintheking]

I can finally get started on the K-wing!!

 

[BlackHand]

Ahh, I see you found that model I was never able to find ^_^

 

[odintheking]

A little preview of the K-wing. (Flc2Gif makes it look kind of crappy).

 

[BlackHand]

Nice, I like it. Is that how bit it'll be in-game, though? If so, I think it needs to be a little smaller...

 

[Darth Bob]

Nice unit odin. The K-Wing will be in the last tech phase right?(I mean like New Republic Era).
And also Odin, that quote by Socrates is hilarious and seems to be true!!

Additionaly, i know that this thread is for units, but i was just sitting around and thinking, the mod should have some Star Wars music in it!

I mean it would seem kind of wierd to be playin a star wars game and not have John Williams awesome music in the background!

 

[Quinzy]

anyone need this?

[odintheking]

Yeah, on my personal alpha game, I have my favorite SW music, . Unfortunately, I'll think we have to use MIDIs reformatted as Mp3's, in order to avoid getting our heads chopped off by LucasFilm,

 

[Darth Bob]

Very good point odin

 

[Darth Bob]

I personally think if we are able to do music without getting our heads chopped off we should have the Imperial march, as benifits the Empire, the Droid Invasion one and that other Confederate song(played during attack of the clones, the track is called Love Pledge and the arena) for the confedercy, and one for the republic and rebellion respectively.

I know that its not possible to play them for each different civ, but as you all probably know im just refering to having them in the background and so forth.

P.S. Sorry if my paragraph is a little long and so forth but im in hurry.

 

[Quinzy]

that imperial march zip is in mp3 format.

 

[odintheking]

Well, yeah, but the thing is, if we widely distribute the copyrighted SW music with the mod, we could in big trouble with the fuzz if LucasFilm finds out. It's similar to the way that file-sharing is illegal, even though is shouldn'd be, (Stupid government, )

 

[Darth Bob]

Yea thats what i was thinking the problem would be. But in the end if someone has Star Wars music they could put it on their own personal version of Civilization.

 

[SheepMonster]

This has already been adressed in a previous star wars mod thread - pleb informed us that we could use the music in games and stuff, so theres no problem there. odin, i thought you'd have read all the star wars posts by now

Actually it IS possible for us to have civ-specific music. Some of the music in the regular game is culture specific so if we make all 4 civs belong to different cultures they can have different muzik.


Sorry if I haven't been around lately, I'm a little how you say. . . distracted. . . [cough] Empire at War [cough] Nintendo DS [cough]. . . I must be coming down with a cold.

[Cough!]I know exactly what you're talking about. EAW is awesome![Cough!] I must be getting a cold, too.
