nemafakei Posted February 20, 2002 Posted February 20, 2002 OK, this is a list of all the things possible at the moment, so that people don't post "change the unit appearance" all the time.We can:Edit unit statistics, eg cost, speed, weapon effectiveness etc.Edit unit abilities, eg stealthSwitch models beween unitsAdd units, using other units' grapic modelsChange unit/building/inf'y textures, colours and iconsChange tooltip textsChange house (or subhouse) names, logos, etcWe Can't:Change the models themselvesChange unit soundsChange WW's engine - eg how waypoints work, etcAdd new houses or subhousesAdd more than 20ish units.Alphabeta, could you sticky this so it doesn't get lost, please?Post up any queries or additions to this list here.
riper Posted February 28, 2002 Posted February 28, 2002 This is not entirely true... i can add new models but i doubt ww will allow me. unit sounds is possible as well as subhouses AND additional units. =) wanna hear more?Riper
alphabeta4000 Posted February 28, 2002 Posted February 28, 2002 yes of course man! send me email is that what you have been working on?
nemafakei Posted March 1, 2002 Author Posted March 1, 2002 You mean you've decrypted the .xbf format, the .cmp format, AND decrypted a nonstandard file to b able to add subhouses?HOW?!
Gobalopper Posted March 1, 2002 Posted March 1, 2002 I don't think WW would care... and once its out what can they do? :)
jacobdouds Posted March 2, 2002 Posted March 2, 2002 I wish to add a new Aircraft to the Ordos, How do you add new units?
nemafakei Posted March 2, 2002 Author Posted March 2, 2002 Put it in another thread. This is for "What we can and can't do"And, as stated above, we can add units.
riper Posted March 3, 2002 Posted March 3, 2002 what can they do once it's out? haha... take a guess gob. yeah i decrypted it all...anybody got ww email adress so i can ask them?Riper
Gobalopper Posted March 3, 2002 Posted March 3, 2002 [Devinoch-WS] [Gobalopper] What do you/WW think of the efforts at making modifications for Emperor, ie people trying to figure out the .xbf format?[WS_ChrisL] Overall,we've been very pleased & surprised at the mod efforts.[WS_ChrisL] There are a lot of folks doing some very creative things with mods. We would like to encourage that more, but we also have to be carefull to protect the community from hackers. A sad side to online..[WS_ChrisL] The XBF format is a doozy. :) We wish them luck.From this chat:http://www.dune2k.com/news/extras/jul01/WWChat-0726.shtml:D
alphabeta4000 Posted March 3, 2002 Posted March 3, 2002 damn riper why don't you send me an email and give me the info? this will change the emperor community
riper Posted March 4, 2002 Posted March 4, 2002 Your quote: "but we also have to be carefull to protect the community from hackers. A sad side to online"I think its pretty clear i cant tell u the details...after all I am a hacker... damn it... alphabeta ill mail you once i know if i can. anybody has suggestions?Riper
Gobalopper Posted March 4, 2002 Posted March 4, 2002 Riper they are talking about people hacking the game for cheats etc. notice how Chris said, "The XBF format is a doozy. We wish them luck." Key word there *we wish them luck*. Now if you ask me you don't have the xbf format and are just giving out excuses so you don't have to prove it. Either prove that you have it figured out or stop posting that you do.
riper Posted March 4, 2002 Posted March 4, 2002 Look I have it cracked but its not really my work... i kind of aquired the source code for Emperor alright? unless u want me to upload the entire source code, which i doubt, i suggest you take my word.Riper
Gobalopper Posted March 4, 2002 Posted March 4, 2002 Well you stil haven't proved anything... Send me or alpha or someone a file proving that you have done it then we will believe you.
scorpio9a Posted March 5, 2002 Posted March 5, 2002 Yea, Riper, why are you doing this, we all know that you don't have the source code so stop doing this, because you havn't proved anything.Send me the E:BFD's xbf classes and i will believe you.-Scorpio9a
Gobalopper Posted March 5, 2002 Posted March 5, 2002 He means the source code behind the xbf format alpha.
riper Posted March 7, 2002 Posted March 7, 2002 stop bugging me alright...ok but the only guy i trust here is alphabeta so ill send him some sort of proof. dont believe i have the source code? lol me well maybe u should open ur eyes it can be downloaded from lots of sites. I wont name them dont wanna get banned. Why would i lie whats the use of it? Will u guys trust me for once in ur freakin lives?! shees what happened why is everybody against me! Scorpio9a...of all the people id expect u to back me up...no matter i will prove it. alphabeta can u promise that if i send them  to u u will not show them to ANYONE? not gob not scorpio not even ur little brother?Riper- Beat me up, cuz ur no match for me when im cruisin
nemafakei Posted March 7, 2002 Author Posted March 7, 2002 OK! That's enough fighting. Alphabeta can tell us soon enough, then if we do have the key to the formats, we can work on getting a way of manually editing the xbfs and whatever.Scorpio9a, no need to be so cynical. Riper, no need to be so paranoid/agitated. Now, let us continue working together to help emp, instead of arguing.
Gobalopper Posted March 7, 2002 Posted March 7, 2002 Riper we would believe you if you show us! Saying you have the source code to a game like Emperor isn't something I would believe unless I saw it, no matter who was telling me they had it.Send alpha the code, if you are telling the truth its great but just do it and stop stalling.
scorpio9a Posted March 8, 2002 Posted March 8, 2002 Riper what do you want to prove to Alpha, giving him parts of the source code?, he doesn't know anything about programming, so that doesn't prove a shit ;D"The truth is out there" - Agent. Mulder (X-Files)-Scorpio9a
