Wrath of the Bene Tleilax: A new mod project for Emperor.

[Apollyon]

I tried importing new sounds but it didnt work so I dont think thats a possibility.

The tleilaxu flyer probably isnt able to pick up things due to its lack of xbf data.

[Inoculator9]

I can provide a model for an air leech. Unfortunately the flyer can not lift units back up, they simply cant, I suspect that is why they weren't in the original game. I would recommend a retextured standard carryall.

[Apollyon]

and edit the default advanced caryall XBF so it looks different.

[Inoculator9]

Exactly. And I have talked with Zyx3, he made a great Air Leech model in Dune Blaster. He has said to me that as long as you email him and warn him, you can use textures, xbf files, and icons from his mod.

Hmmm, maybe we can get the guy who made the NIAP able to shoot to help.

[Inoculator9]

I got the NIAP to shoot.

[Apollyon]

adrian did

[Inoculator9]

I know Adrian did, but I got it to shoot after him. So I'm just saying that you don't need to bother Adrian.

[Apollyon]

well assumedly you used Adrians guniap XBF?

[Inoculator9]

No. I made it a tank and it works great. It only required a few minor adjustments.

[Apollyon]

you did then, I think you mustve

Adrian added XBF data to the original XBF so that it could fire at all.

[Inoculator9]

Nope, I didn't use any editors. You just have to edit a couple of things.

[DukeLeto]

Are you using the GUNIAP .XBF?

[Inoculator9]

the artini xaf is that, yes. But I have used no programs. I am good with the rules files, I can program very well. I can post the stats if you guys dont believe me.

[Apollyon]

yes but in the mod if u look in 3ddata/units/ is there a file called guniap.xbf (or close equivalent)?

if so it means you are using Adrians XBF as the guniap can only fire after data is added to the xbf (so ini editing does not qualify at all).

[Inoculator9]

NO! There is no new xbf! Unless it magically appeared there without my knowledge.

[Apollyon]

could have ;D

then it probly fires when made a ground unit but not when in the air (unless you add XBF data)

[guusr5644]

[guusr5644]

so ya just have to put the missile trail data in the unit status?

[Inoculator9]

That is part of it, yes.

[Apollyon]

no you make it a tank =)

the missile trail is just effect.

[Ghosty_Square]

I think that the NIAP model was originally supposed to shoot (that's why you find it guarding the emperor worm in the last mission). But for some reason, WW removed its turret's statistics from the Rules.txt All you have to do is add a turret yourself.

[Apollyon]

I dont think so

to get it to fire in the air you need to add XBF data which was done by Adrian a while back.

[Ghosty_Square]

Well, the only way to find out is to try it.
