Kwisatz Haderach 3 - back from the dead

[JulesG]

Someone posted EdricO about getting rid of the flame effect on the KH plasma and laser turrets. I have successfully done this by editing the flame turret xbf so that the !%01FIRE and !FIRE statements which correspond to the texture files !%01FIRE0 to !%01FIRE11 and !FIRE0 to !FIRE11 to a different name (like !%01HIDE) and then making all of those textures black (which is what the *11 files are anyway)and saved with the new name. If you already knew how to do this sorry to have mentioned it. :)

[Apollyon]

Yes lol. We all know how to do that. :P

[nemafakei]

I had tried to do that for the original KH2, but my programme kept corrupting the tga files, and I gave up in the end.

[Inoculator9]

Should we perhaps ask someone else?

[Edric O]

Well, I already talked to Frodo (aka Salvatore) about helping us with the XBF's... :)

[Duncan_ghola]

Edric make sure you dont include the AA mine this time it sucks arse

[Edric O]

LOL, are you kidding me? The Corrino AA Mine is by far the fastest unit in the game, and a single AA Mine can destroy any air unit. It's also the cheapest air unit in the game.

[Duncan_ghola]

it was effective, but often theyd just go under the plane and keep pushing it up, it never blew up

[Procyon]

About tech buildings:

-Why don`t you make a neutral capturable Ix/Guild Megacannon ???

- Is possibly to paradrop infantry, like the Saboteur from an EITS??? If so you have a new Tech building.

- I was thinking about a neutral building that let you build a powerful-with-a-limit-of-one unit, like a hero.

But you have the mercenary camp and the landsraad units already.

[Duncan_ghola]

I like the airborne infantry idea alot, but is it possible to drop something else besides that ordos suicide unit,

[Edric O]

No, unfortunetaly it's not possible. :( You can only drop Saboteurs.

It's also impossible to put any build limit on a unit. So you can't have "hero" units.

The Megacannon idea sounds nice, but the Corrino already have the Imperator Cannon... So if we're going to make a neutral, capturable Megacannon, then we'll have to change a few things about it...

[Duncan_ghola]

the mega cannon is too powerfull, once you get it all you have to do is camp in your base and destroy everything around you

[Dunenewt]

You can change the stats to make it weaker then.

[Inoculator9]

I would make it slighty shorter range, and design a weapon that is more anti-infantry oriented. That gives a distinct advantage, but one that only works effectively against infantry. So, tanks can get close enough to destroy it.

[Edric O]

Errr, guys, keep in mind that the Imperator Cannon takes forever to build, and it has such light armour that a single tank could destroy it in no time.

[Procyon]

And don`t forget neutral windtraps and refineries.

[nemafakei]

What's the point? You can't place them on the map.

[Procyon]

Why you can`t??

[DukeLeto]

Nope, the map editor won't let you place units or structures. Unless Edric's modified it somehow...

[Dunenewt]

You can place structures :O

My friend has made maps with the Mega Cannon in.

[Edric O]

Of course you can place structures! What on Earth made you think otherwise?

By the way, we need a good map maker... Hmmm, maybe I should make a topic about this.

[Dunenewt]

Nope, the map editor won't let you place units or structures. Unless Edric's modified it somehow...

[DukeLeto]

Oops, my bad, it's only units you can't place, right?

[nemafakei]

I always thought that it was impossible to place xbfs (nb not xafs) on the maps; have you tried, Edric?

{Nema may soon have to go back to the dead, since he is rather busy.}

[Inoculator9]

I'll bring you back to life eventually ;) Using the must subtle of goads... a cattle prod :)
