Airstrike MOD

[jacobdouds]

After a long time and many troubles, I have almost completed my MOD.

It's a MOD that was original made to give the Ordos an Airship so they could actually fight. But then a bit more was done.

Could any one give me any suggestions? These are the main changes so far.

Tlielaxu Renamed to Bene Tlielaxu.

Smugglars Quad enabled for all houses.

New Units:

Ordos Viper Jet. Built in Ordos Hanger. -

A fast moving, stealthy fighter plane. It has a weak Ammunition.

Zhuge Liang. Built in all Barracks. -

A fast moving infantry that can't be crushed or picked up by a storm. Has incredible

Health and Shield Health. But costs a lot of money to make and takes a long time to build.

New Buildings:

Ordos Helipad. Built by Conyard (duh!!!)

Simple Ordos Helipad used for refueling the Ordos Viper. -This gave me a lot of trouble, please appreciate it!-

any suggestions or tips?

[Caid Ivik]

More is better. Also Ordos needed to improve their air force.

[DjCiD]

yeah maybe some more AAgiive the pop up laser turret AA  just an idea

[jacobdouds]

Ah, yes, good idea. The Ordos do need an AA turret.

With a little luck this will be finished this weakend.

[jacobdouds]

Well, the first version is out. Just awaiting it to be uploaded at editing.dune2k. Now I can get some sleep. It's only a small mod, but please give it a try and comment. I will update it at a later date based on your comments.

It is also attached to this reply.

[vidiware]

Cool, i am going to test it

[nemafakei]

Ok. It should be ok for download from there soon.

[jacobdouds]

It's now downloadable. Tell me what you think. There may be some small errors still left from the testing version. Like cheap units, but I think I got rid of these.

[jacobdouds]

To come in the next version!!

Ordos Helipad will have it's own Icon and new Textures.

Minor Changes to current units.

NEW!!!

Harkonnen Plasma Turret -> Fires powerful Plasma Bolts, more powerful than Devastator.

Atreides Phonic Turret -> Fires powerful Sound Blasts, more powerful than Sonic Tanks.

Ordos Corruption Turret -> Fires Deviator Gas pellets at enemys.

SubHouse Turrets: Still in ideas workshop

Tlielaxu Living Turret enabled.

IX -> need ideas, got any?

SdMissile Turret

Frmotion turret ->, can be moved around.

GuTurret ->, still in ideas workshop but probably shoots more powerful Guild maker turret.

HBAT -> a slow moving air unit that can fire to the ground only. Uses powerful plasma blasts.

and maybe giving the Harvestor a very basic turret. Like Light infantry.

[vidiware]

IX rules, so let themm get a drone and a drone turret

(if its possible)

the surret infests units, like the leeach, then a drone comes out whit the same ability and so on

the doubling thing, is because the drone uses the other unit to make a new one

idea or not?

u can always make a fremen siech...

[vidiware]

Good!! Cool Mod

The ordos Viper are 2 strong... Then must shoot weaker or cost more or something. Stealth are good, this gives air advantage.

I only comes one Quater at building Zhuge Liang...

Then it stops building it. Its not my money i had 100000

The PreBuild Base and Unit Count is not a problem with your mod.

Smugglers quad is cool to have.

All around a good mod if you wnat air war - like me....

But you cant build the best infantry...

Have you Enchanted the AI - its smarter, it builds defenceplatforms and mongoose.

Let the defenceplatform shoot in the air, to make the hark airforce better.

And make a eye in tha sky to everyone, not with deploy ability, but to detect stealth aircraft. And make fround units much weaker, this will force you to use air.

Thanks for letting me test your mod.

It is the best one i ever played, without new graphic...

So i give this mod 10/10 at the rating.

You have made a good mod, but remember to make some more airdefence turrets...

Maby you can make a aircraft hijacker?

Let them hijack a aircraft at the ground and take over aircrafts.

When the model-thing (the one with the real 3d - models not 3d texture) is hacked, you can make helicopters

[jacobdouds]

That's odd. It does seem to freeze at about quarter way. I think it may be due to the amount of time it takes,it times out or something. I will experiment and get it fixed. There also seems to be some 10 dollars things left around. I will fix these. Same with the Viper damage.

The newest version is attached to my signature, and always will be exept for major updates at Dune Editing, to save Nema and Gob some trouble.

Newest version on sig fixing some errors. Try it Vidiware.

[jacobdouds]

Okay, I think i've fixed the Xhuge Liang Problem. Give it a try here. Newest Update.

http://www.dune2k.com/forum/Attachments/AirStrikeMod.zip

Oh, and I need to remove a unit and weapon to save some space, what unit would no one miss?

[vidiware]

I can check the update when i finish the school today... ::)

[vidiware]

Sorry but the Liang thing, cant be build, but now its two thirds (2/3) finished before it stops.

Try to make it chaper...

You have fixed the Viper are too strong an stealth problem

[areyouforit]

how come you took the stealth off and you made it weaker.

that really makes it stink(the viper)

[vidiware]

sounds ...

The vipers attack is poor, but...

It has stealth

[jacobdouds]

This is what I intended for the Viper;

It was to be a fast moving, stealthy AirCraft, with weak ammunition and self Repair. Like a lot of Ordos Vehicles, I was trying to keep it in character. But since I couldn't modify the Stealth time without changing Fremen, I had to compensate by making the Ammunition even weaker.

The removing of the stealth was an Accident and will be fixed.

I'm all about balance, so please report any balance Issues you may have with new Units or Turrets.

[areyouforit]

can you unlock some of the units in the game you know like the mega cannons living turrets, sard tank, and so on.

then that would make the game a little more fun

also how about the adv. windtrap thats awsome it you can do those.

[vidiware]

Yes but fix the XChai Lunge first

[jacobdouds]

XChai Lunge?

I may enable the Large WindTraps. In the newest update the Guild Cannon is kinda enabled. But I can only enable the Living Turret if I can think of Turrets for the other four SubHouses, and that takes room, so I need to know what units no one would miss.

New Version Out. DownLoad from my Signature. Next version will go to Editing.dune2k as well.

[Frodo]

jacob, instead of removing units, you could remove some of the civilian buildings like ORINTOWER and stuff like that, that's what I did for my mod.

[vidiware]

is there a max value in units in there??????

[Gobalopper]

Yes, I don't remember if anyone posted what it was though. alpha might know.

[jacobdouds]

Yes, thank you Frodo, I have begun doing that. I have given the SubHouses each a new object, these are them.

Fremen: Sand Turret. A turret that can be built on sand, getting it there is the problem.

Tlielaxu: Living Turret. The living turret enabled.

Imperial: Imperial Tank enabled.

Guild: I will be making a special controlable surface worm. Currently in works.

IX: I NEED IDEAS!!! help.

I have given these Ordos units AA: PopUp turret - Laser Tank - Deployed Kobra.

I will be enabling the Large windtraps, and A lot more unused things. I will be giving the Harkonnen the ImAPC. What should I give the Atreides?

Due to the lack of new air units, I will change the name from 'AirStrike' to 'The Winds of Change'

Once again, I am very concerned about balance. So please report any balance issues, including already made units.

When I have completed the MOD, there will be one more update purely making the game balanced.
