My mod (updated)

[Anathema]

Edit: I yet have to think of a good storyline.

[guusr5644]

i wanted to do a mod about fremen joining forces with the atreides but didnt worked out ::) anyway earthnuker ill be glad to help as much as i can. and tleilaxu sniper can only transform the units he shoot into replica's of him self... and i hope ya oy some job for me ;D

[Inoculator9]

I'd be glad to help. And for a title how about this since you are making the Fremen more powerful: The Fighter's of Muad'dib? And I would be glad to help out. I'm very good with the programming and GoldEagle is great with textures and icons.

[guusr5644]

thx inoculator :) and ill be glad to help in icon's and textures :)

[Anathema]

Well I tried to make new icons but they don't appear in the production tab list. They seem to be invalid.

They are the right size (64 x 64) and tga format, so what's wrong? Nemas site mentioned something about RLE compression, but how do you do that? As far as I knew RLE is a bitmap format.

[guusr5644]

EN what program u use?

[Anathema]

Photosuite SE. Pretty old, the first edition.

[guusr5644]

oh well dont know about that one. what i do know that in psp you may incounter alots of problems creating icons so plz EN can i be the icon maker? or texturer?

[Anathema]

I'll consider, but I originally intended to make them myself.

[Timenn]

I don't know if the Corrino SSM or the Tleilaxu Sniper works, but the units ideas are all great :)

[Anathema]

I think the SSM should work. I'm taking the Kobra xbf and make sure the missiles are not homing or AA.

I'm not sure about the sniper though. I'll try that out.

[Timenn]

Yes, I don't know how WW coded that deploy-to-fire thing. But I'm sure it won't be easy, knowing the mess in the rules.txt

[Anathema]

There is a piece of text in the rules file, something like "mustbedeployed" for bullets. I doubt that would be a problem.

[Apollyon]

its the TurretDisableIfUnitDeployed = TRUE thing in the turretattach that discerns whether it fires when un/deployed.

[Anathema]

Indeed. I got the Corrino SSM to work, but the modified snipers makes duplicates of themselves self instead contaminators.

[Apollyon]

yes im afraid thats unavoidable.

[DukeLeto]

So, I can't make, say, a buzzsaw gun make enemies turn into Contaminators?

[Anathema]

No.

[Timenn]

but the modified snipers makes duplicates of themselves

Cool hehe ;D

[Apollyon]

it is cool but its also kinda irritating. :-

[Anathema]

I decided to do everything different. Please read the first post.

[Anathema]

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to make certain weapons "inacurate", so that when say a mortar fires, it doesn't land exactly on the target spot?

I have a few new ideas, for Ordos (subhouse)

-chaos saboteur: When it explodes (instantly, this time), any nearby units will frenzy as if they were hit by chaos lightning. It will be expensive, and if it's killed while it's positioned near your own units, they will start killing eachother too.

-deviation saboteur: You guessed it. Any nearby units will become deviated once it explodes. Also expensive.

[DukeLeto]

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to make certain weapons "inacurate", so that when say a mortar fires, it doesn't land exactly on the target spot?

Set the speed to something other than -1. Or, you can set "trajectory = yes", but the speed will still need to not be -1, else it will do no good.

[Anathema]

No, that's not what I mean. Suppose if you use force fire on a spot, I want the mortar not land precisely on it, but within a small radius of the target spot. This would be more realistic :)

[DukeLeto]

Oh! Hmm, no, I don't know... :-

[OT]Um, about your sig, Jan. 1 was Wednesday.[/OT]
