In The Destroyer's Grip

[guusr5644]

i dont care about things to be big like 170 mg coz iv got cable and im always online so as long as it will take i still dont pay more ;D

[Apollyon]

ok ppl

infantry for the Aspedos and the Kulchatah are complete

the vehicles are also pretty much complete

now.. air

any ideas?

i was thinking that the aspedos shud get the atreides air drone equivalent, an engineer dropping eits, carryall, dvanced carryall and a fairly weak gunship.

for the kulchatah, the air mine, hark ADP and both carryalls

The tempest: an edited orni to look like some kind of creature and both carryalls.

i think that shud be sufficient.

however, super weapons...

for the kulchatah some kind of super warrior i guess

for the tempest... something weird... i know... heheh its a secret

for the aspedos it was originally going to be a unit that transforms into pure energy and can roam around on its own accord smashing stuff but as i cant get it to work, any ideas?

[Frodo]

almost done apollyon, give me till tonight. I have finished the generic, now I must finish the unit specific testures to make them look really good.

[ethan]

for the tempest,

it could have a strong machine gun that leeches & contaminates things, and does pure damage, as organic stuff doesnt really do pure damage...

edit- i forgot, will anything do real damage?

and is this just infantry, or are there tanks?

[Frodo]

i think so, but i am not sure. there are tanks though. i think.

[Apollyon]

yes there are tanks, even "tanks" for the tempest

i dont thinmk its possible for 1 weapon to both leech and contaminate

however u cud use the advsardaukar in such a way...

however what i really need is a super weapon for the Aspedos as I have most of the other units already set out

btw im having loads of trubble with icons: i made one for the shotgun trooper (as a test quickly), i put it in 3DDATA/textures/ and identified it in the artini, however the game always crashes when loading.

ny ideas nyone?

[Frodo]

make sure to save it as a 24-bit, RLE compressed targa file.

[Apollyon]

i did that

but alas nothing still ='(

[Frodo]

make sure that you name the files in the same format as the others, and make sure that the path is correct. Also, make sure that they are in data/3ddata/textures.

[Apollyon]

same format?

what do u mean?

like hk_trooper.tga and grey_hk_trooper.tga kinda thing?

[Frodo]

take away the underscore between the HK and trooper

[Apollyon]

i tried that too and it didnt work

[Frodo]

could you try sending the icons to me, and i can maybe see if they work?

[Apollyon]

[Frodo]

yes, that is because it lacks the encryption that the xbf file has. So it can't read the meshes.

[Apollyon]

is there nyway to re-encrypt a decoded xbf then?

[Frodo]

Okay, I am going to look into it. Very original, and good job drawing it!

[Apollyon]

well i had assistance (a lot) from Cyborg, the 3D master ;D

[Frodo]

Is that the background you are going to use? Or are you going to use Nema's template?

[Frodo]

Yes, Cyborg is very good at 3D. :) Good at VB too.

[Apollyon]

Is that the background you are going to use? Or are you going to use Nema's template?

i was going to use that background

i want all of the icons to look original

so im even changing the basic template

[Frodo]

Will every icon in the game be changed to that? :O That will take some time! I have finished 90% of the textures! :) If you need help changing units icons to the new template I will help.

[Inoculator9]

That was a nice icon.

[ethan]

im sorry, but your icon looks a bit "dune-2k-ish" :P

[Inoculator9]

It's still nice though.
