Destruction Of Ordos Mod :The Downfall

[Dunenewt]

I want to make a Mod where Corrino are replacing Ordos, and therefore Ordos replace Sardaukar and Richese replace Guild who are now buildable by all. Here is a list of people who I want to help me (please):

Rules,Artini,Strings:Inoculator, Apollyon

Icons:GoldEagle

Textures:Frodo

[Inoculator9]

Great. Post here what you want to be added to the strings, the rules, and artIni and I'll take care of those. I'll set the icons as the unit they're most similar to, so you can test it without new icons.

[Dunenewt]

Add the Ixian APC

[Inoculator9]

Ok, I have an icon for that one.

[Dunenewt]

For the other units in the attachmented file I haven't quite decided what the ArtIni will be

ORGasTank - use flame tank

IXMech - Use Mongoose

TLTurret - Already there but not used except in campaign as an enemy structure

[Dunenewt]

And IxianMace can help aswell but I don't know what hes best at

[IxianMace]

Don't ask me to make new textures, because I don't even have the software that will enable me to do that, or the know how. I can make new units for you if you like though. I like making new units. ;D

[Inoculator9]

Ok, I'll add those to the strings and rules declaration. Email me when you've decided on all the other units, then I'll add them to the strings and rules. But you'll need to do the stats.

ok then ill be an icon designer even that i can do textures ini art and all that ::) btw did you guys see the model i made for ixian mace?

[Apollyon]

Ill help with any problems you encounter as I'm kinda busy to do any real editing, sorry.

[Dunenewt]

I'm using TibEd to make changes at the moment. I have made the Guild units buildable by all but I am having problems making House Richese units to appear

[Inoculator9]

Since the Guild becomes House Richese this what you need to do:

1. Add your units to the declaration section.

2. Place the declaration at the bottom of the declaration section for new units, like this:

[unitTypes]

IXAPC {example}

3. Add the unit stats below the original Guild units. Don't change the Guild writing to Richese.

4. To make Guild Richese go to E_Output_Text_Pickups, make sure that it is the correct one. Find the area that lists the subhouses, and change Guild {Guild of Navigators} to Guild {House Richese}. To add Richese units to the strings add it below the first object tips section.

, like this:

IXAPC {Ixian APC}

5. Then add the unit to the ArtIni below the original guild units.

6. Make sure that any new models, textures, or xbf files are working.

If you followed this procedure then there shouldn't be a problem, unless you have the units building out of a totally different building.

[Dunenewt]

I think stage 3 is where I went wrong

[Inoculator9]

Thats what I was guessing. Don't risk the mod so that when people go into the rules they see Richese. That part doesn't matter, leave the stuff Guild. To make it Richese just edit text.

You have a lot of the stats in the wrong position. The veterancy level is to mixed in.

That's much better, sorry i'd have done it myself but I have several things going on with my own mod project.

[IxianMace]

There's no need for the Selectable = TRUE line is there? Doesn't it automatically default to being selectable if there is no Selectable = FALSE line present? Also, with the Ixian Destealthing tower, I don't think destealth ranges work for structures, only units. I have no idea why, but it just seems to be like that. ??? :P
