Emperor Chronicles The Rise Of Corrino Empire

[THE AQIB]

I did using all tools made by mvi plus tibed and now i got a good game but still has a few glitches. Hacked into a few files but not tht much modifying as it left an error.

I'm posting written tutorials for dune 2000 modding and here is the first one TUTORIAL 1

 

After an year of modding and editing. We've reached 75% of our mod production...
All missions are complete and bugtests for all missions are also complete...
Rewiring of some missions to fix its extreme difficulty back to normal is underway...
The new units need stat changes due to problems of them either useless or too destructive on the battle field...

 

Other news is The FMV crew is still not ready due to miscalculations of stuff...
GUI replacement is also behind schedule so the demo release might be postponed to a further date...
Replacement in the audio is also underway and will also take time to complete...
Text replacement is completed...
Map bugs to be searched for in the near future...
New maps for Skirmish/multiplayer/LAN...

 

Sardaukar and Harkonnen share the same space hence in single player they are sardaukar and in multiplayer they are harkonnen....

 

More News coming Soon....

[THE AQIB]

Well after a few more developments in the game mod tools now

i'm working on a few more missions for the game other than the

main missions...

These new missions are side missions which are either prologue

or epilogue missions...

You can play as fremen also in prologue and epilogue missions...

Imperial Mercenaries will be recieving prologue and epilogue

missions...

Emperor will be available in prologue and epilogue missions...

So totally we increased the missions from original

27 missions to 81 missions...

And can add even more but will do less here due to time

constraints...

Also Menus are to be remade and need designs..

Any such suggestions for menus are open and anyone can help...

Also we'll be continuing the game as a sequel which will take

time as we are planning to use another engine to create the

game...

But will be announcing on it when we've decided to start of...

Also

suggestions for new units

are open and if anyone wants to

join the sequel game's team

they can pm me also...

More info will come soon....

you cant add  completly new units  to this game,   this engine has not been reserched  eoungh to find the way to add completly new units,

 

i would like that there should be some sort of air forces?  like  emperor bomber, emperor fighter  , since dune has no water  you wont be able to addd some naval units? like  emperor cruiser, emperor battleship , emperor destroyer etc.

Well my work is still on and just now got a few more ideas up my sleeve..

When the game comes out you'll see a different dune 2000 with the same gameplay and engine..

You'll feel it change even though it stays same..

Have fun with my game once it launches..

The size might be 1 or 2 gb if videos take up space..

Well once the job is done you'll get the game.. Till then be patient and wait for it..

Dune FPS game ideas i'm making as well as another rts game..

News on this also will be told at the end of the release date..

[Feda]

Don't let us wait till you finish vids, that'll take years (maybe?) or will never happen. Focus on the mod itself first, then the videos :D

 

"Dune fps game ideas i'm making as well" - What do you mean with this? Are you making a Renegade Dune2000 mod?

I hope you got a good story considering you made campaigns. I mean something at least better than westwood's boring one. A mod with so many new things and sides needs a good story and nice missions. Variety is key, so i hope that they wont be like westwood ones: kill everything all the time...

I'm looking forward to playing this, waiting that demo/beta release.

PS: Umm Minority Studios, that would be you? Or?

well i'm trying my level best to create good missions rather than the old westwood ones..

well one of them is the three team switch control mission in fremen..

also can you give me an idea whch mission style you hate from the old westwood missions??

[Feda]

Well its about variety, that is all.

[Feda]

Umm I think that on the main menu you should add  back that copyright thingy that original dune has, not sure if there could be any issue but just to make sure ;) And those westwood guys deserve it for such a good game right? :D

ok if you say so...

[athanasios]

Make sure you include a license readme making it clear that it is a MOD and that you need to have purchaced the original game, with all copyright stuff included.

actually i have an original copy of the game but it has  scratches and because of that the game installs without the videos..
