Seems like a lot of you guys don't check the Dune Editing Board enough so I thought I'd bring it here.

yeah, i want to help save emp, coz i loveit. but how can i do it? im not able to modeling or programing... ok, i can test versions and tell u ideas for changings, but the most ideas would not work i guess...

but u know, im a musician, and i have a studio. so one thing,  what i can do, is to make musik for ya mods and patches. if its needed and wanted. just ask me and give me ur imagine.

what else can we do???

Post suggestions and what you think of the mods.

  Very cool, I really like the Badass looking APC, is that a turret on top?  The screenshots are sweet too.  Now what excactly do ya mean the graphics will resemble the ones in generals, the textures? if so i have to get that Mod.  Nice job all  :)

[IxianMace]

Expect an overall improvement in the general appearance of some or all of the units in the game. Don't expect an entire revamp of the graphics engine. :)

Emperor: A tribute will also function online with other players who do not have the mod.  :)

[Megashrap]

Cool, glad it was posted here cause i rarely ever see the dune editing posts.  But damn nice Mods.

It's more of a patch than a mod wouldn't you say Apol?

Post in any of the threads to tell the people what you think of their work.

Well thats good, because the remaining players are a bunch o' lazy smegs !  ;D

Getting them to install mods so we can do online games with them installed is a difficult mission in itself, probably harder than any level in the mod !

Good work guys, all of you ! 8)

Satisfied with Kwizatz Haderach Two.  8)  But nice screenshots.

I don't realy , know how this would hep emperor??

[Andrew]

Replayability is how it would help it.

[darkd3th]

tu-sh-a

[Apollyon]

And my mod simply makes the game better...

Plus, with the graphics improved, there's nothing that emperor has worse than Generals.

[darkd3th]

Emperor was never worse the genrals period .  :)

[Apollyon]

Some argue that the graphics in Emperor are worse.

[KALONY]

but pay attantion, that the better graphic do not make the game slower especially online.

[GUNWOUNDS]

ok i will

[Megashrap]

Lol Yea the inf. in generals looks like a first stage disney stick figure shooting with pool cues.

[Apollyon]

We're well aware of that which is why the infantry models are remaining the same.

[KALONY]

but i got the minipatch, and when game starts, i zoom out as far as i can, and than its unimportant, how detailed it looks, coz all is small...hehe...but my overview is great

Ok here is what i think. After exploring the dune editing website when I first started playing a couple of months ago, I downloaded all the mods and burned them to a disc so i would have them, should anything happen to the website. But I was hesitant to install any of them because I didn't know how they would affect online game play. I don't have a lot of free time to play and I didn't want to have the mod crash the game if the other players didn't have it. Or worse, because this is my first 'Puter game and i am still learning the "ins and outs" of online play, I could just see myself trying some mod, getting in a game and all of a sudden my minnos are shooting halfway across the map and then next thing you know i'm banned or something for cheating.

Second some of the mods need better read me files. Here is an example of one of them.

"Well....you put the Rules.txt in your data/model folder and if you don't have a model folder then make one."

This is for a mod called Fast Build (I wonder how many people are running this one if the mods don't interfere with online play???)

Perhaps on the Dune Editing site, the Emp mods page, there could be a column for the basics.

[Apollyon]

No mods currently work online except for my minipatch.

If one person runs a mod that changes game statistics, most probably through (though not exclusively through) the rules.txt file when other players do not, the game will go out of sync very quickly when the collated data is deemed incongruent, causing the game to quit immediately back to the lobby. Thus there is no chance of 'cheating' through mods.

Wow!

Cant wait for the "Tribute to Emperor"! When will it be ready and where will it be avable for download??
