Fed2k Heroes - A new beginning

[Frodo]

OK, the last one was a drive through a mountain range. Let's hope that this time it does not drive down the same path. Though this is a new thread, please remember that GoldEagle and Inoculator9 were the ones who started this mod, and released the BETA. This new thread was created because the old one was filled with spam and was getting off-topic at times. Here are some suggestive rules for how it should run this time through...

-If you want to be in the mod, then you supply the coding for it.

-If you do not know how to create your unit, then ask somebody who knows how, or post in this thread and myself, or another member of the Fed2k Heroes team will make it for you.

-All credit will be given where it is deserved, if you feel that you should be in the credit list, IM one of the team members.

I also would like to help to make this a team effort with older members of the modding community helping out the newer ones with their problems.

I also want to apologize to DukeLeto for starting this thread without telling him...

[Frodo]

I have started work on my unit, which suprisingly is... a Hobbit. I got it all planned out and hope that school doesn't get in the way...

[Duncan_ghola]

I'd like to have my own unit, although i dont know how to make one. It would be the atriedies duke model, its cape black and clothing a greyish color like a stilsuit if possible. I like the idea of using a knife when within close range, is that possible? he'd be duncans ghola of course

My code is third from bottom on the last page on the old thread.

[Apollyon]

Just take mine from the original thread, if you would be so kind.

[Inoculator9]

Dang it, lol, I'm part of it too! Me and GE started :)

[Dunenewt]

So which units have been added?

[Frodo]

sorry inoc, i added you too.

[Cyborg]

With a little bit of help from Salvatore, I managed to make my own unit! :)

Thank you for your help, Salvatore!

The unit is called Cyborg Titan.

It is a unit with very low damage, fast refire rate, and very, very thick hull.

It is good against infantry, and about acceptable against more heavy enemies.

Its range give it a good advantage, and its ability to detect stealth in a nice radius is a good reason to always have at least one in your army.

It is a quite balanced unit, which fits into the unmodded game without being too good or bad. It requires a portion of tactic to make the best use of it, though.

Main unit code:

Glad someone finally got around to making a new topic. This is the unit I've created, under the belief that only one of each 'hero' can be built at a time.

Feel free to check it, after all I've never made a mod and there's most likely something wrong. Just tell me if you want something changed, yes?

I believe Salvatore was working on the model etc, yes? Thanks. :)

I think your unit is a tad too powerful, Dust Scout.

But this mod will not be balanced anyway, I think, but your unit would crush mine any day.

I deliberately made it that way under the assumption that everyone else would do the same thing. ;)

[Duncan_ghola]

i tried locating the rules.txt file to create my unit but was unsuccessful, dont critisize me just give me a link or help me create Duncans ghola

[Dunenewt]

What kind of weapon do you want?

[guusr5644]

This thread is growing big already, it fill my heart with joy :D

[DukeLeto]

ZzZzZzZz...Oh, uh I'm awake! I just can't work on it until my problem with Emperor is fixed. :-[

[Duncan_ghola]

Anyone remember the Duke achillus model and the caladan mission? Is it possible to add a knife? and a few other things..

[Dante]

If you wanted that it would probably be best to start with the model for the Sardaukar general, who has a knife already. If it's the soundset you want that can be added.

[Inoculator9]

Yeparu Dusty :)

Ya know Eagle, the original Fed2k Heroes thread is one of the largest on the entire forum :D

[guusr5644]

yea i know, im very proud! :)

[Dante]

So... how goes it? Has anyone recieved any useful IMs? Or units?

[Procyon]

Can I be a Superweapon? Something called "The Procyon Storm", which is basically the coriolis whirlwind, but with a better damage to buildings and vehicles. I love to see the HK light infantry firing from inside the whirlwind while they are flying!! ;D

*Hums funeral dirge*
