Desert Ranger42 Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 It's gonna be a big one and I need info and files.Firstly I need Screenshots of units converted into icons. I need them so that I can differentiate between all the new infantry I'll be making. Preferably of every infantry unit in the game. I would do this myself except I lack the nessercary tools to complete these tasks. If you would like to help me then please feel free to contact me.Help would be much appreciated.

Inoculator9 Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Why don't you just get the original icons for all the units? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Ranger42 Posted August 12, 2003 Author Share Posted August 12, 2003 I might as well. Thanks. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Ranger42 Posted August 14, 2003 Author Share Posted August 14, 2003 Here's my idea for the mod.It's just infantry and old and outdated vehicles. Medical vehicles, Sand buggies, and all the Ix transports, Tleilaxu transports and walkers you can hit with a stick. Fremen shall provide Yak riders and Bikers (Squisheness), Sardaukar provide all the up to date weaponry such as drop ships (if I can make it work), the Imperial APC, tank, and the general. All houses will have the same infantry:Light infantry: using the Atreides Infantry model thingy.Heavy infantry: using the Harkonnen one.Machine gunner: The Sardaukar with a different gun, slower, and just...well....different.Kindjal: Deployable anti-tank weapon. Best in the game.AA trooper: Best against aircraft. Ordos AA trooper.Missile Trooper: Lighter anti tank weapon, not a seeker though, and not AA. Hark trooperFlamer infantry: Need I say more?Chemical Warfare trooper: *Titters*Atreides sniper: For atreides.Ordos assain: Sniper for ordos with all the appropriate sneakyness.Harkonnen doesn't get one. I'll figure something out soonish.Saboteur: Ordos only.Mortars: Everybody gets artillery.Ornithopters: Everyone gets them.That's about it.Basically all the sub-houses are all powerful. But the three origionals are still fighting, and all the sub-houses are back stabbing and double dealing. Which explains why they are so powerful.Not very inventive but, I only just started.I have to re-install empy again cos I stuffed up with TibEd. Or rather stuffed up the Yak rider manually. I will do stuff manually instead of with TibEd becuase manual seems more reliable.If anyone can see any problems with the above then tell me please. This is my first mod, it may be a bit ambitious, but what is life without ambition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inoculator9 Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Not a very indepth description... not very different from the original gameplay as far as I can tell either :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Ranger42 Posted August 14, 2003 Author Share Posted August 14, 2003 I want all origional vehicles removed (not entirely or the game will stuff up). Only the subhouses would provide combat vehicles. Origional houses would have infantry and other stuff for APC's. More later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fremfedeliteNIAC Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 uh... its pretty similar to the original....put some more imaginative stuff in it i think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Ranger42 Posted August 15, 2003 Author Share Posted August 15, 2003 I see what you mean. Will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 I understand what he means and it is quite original.He wants al the main houses to only have infantry and loads of them and the Sub-houses have the vehicles.Has anyone done this before?

Apollyon Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Well *technically* I did it in Guild wars, but then you also got infantry from the subhouses in that as well as vehicles and aircraft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inoculator9 Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 It still doesn't seem like anything particularly new, other then a different arrangement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fremfedeliteNIAC Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 well, exactly...in the game, as long as u have subhouses u would hardly see a difference (as i u wouldnt see anything original that noone has seen before)perhaps a mod wiht only infantry, or only vehicles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Ranger42 Posted August 16, 2003 Author Share Posted August 16, 2003 I am honoured by all this advice I am getting from what I term "Modding Gods". Your knowledge far outclasses mine in modding matters. And I am not being sarcastic here.I have to get my A into G and start it or otherwise I will have wasted all your time for nothing.Cheerio.
