Generals Mod

[Khan]

Could we not edit the stock piles and turn them to stock piles of spice?

[Apollyon]

well, yes. Or into spice mines...

However I would like to make this mod first I think.

[Khan]

Of course your mod comes first. Any definite sides?

[Apollyon]

yes, theyve all been decided. Check back on the first page of the topic.

[Khan]

I'm confused are you going to use Texasguys sides or Dunenewts? ???

[Apollyon]

Texas Guys' sides. Theyre the sides we both came up with eventually. Theyre pretty realistic (in that theres a chance that the world may actually split like that) and fairly well balanced.

[Dunenewt]

After helping on this mod I will move on to a Dune Mod

[Apollyon]

do you have the game yet?

[Khan]

So have you actually started modding yet? If no when do you plan to start??

[Apollyon]

ive started making novo-ruski (new russia) but things arent going that quickly. I still need models and textures etc.

[Khan]

Have you worked out how to open W3D.Big yet because mine stil wont open.

[Apollyon]

Not as such... I'm not really sure what to do about this problem. Perhaps t5he Bigpop extractor will be updated soon or another extractor might be found. Either way I'm going to get as much INI editing underway as possible.

[Khan]

Ok do you want me to do anything for you?

[Apollyon]

well can you INI edit at all? (as for the moment modelling seems to be out of the picture).

[Khan]

Yeah sure I can INI edit.

Olaf has some new Generals utilities to help with the creation and editing of BIG files...

Have fun!

[Khan]

Oh and I know for sure that FinalBIG can open W3d.BIG but it is a weird file.

At last! Thanks, I bookmarked that page ages ago but the bookmark wasnt saved (bizarrely).

Ok then we can finally properly start the mod =).

I will begin by briefly writing up the Anglo Alliance units:

(names may be changed)

>Infantry

Blaster Infantry

Plasma Trooper

Spy

Technician

SAS Operative

>Air

Siege Hover-copter

Support Hover-Copter

Brawler Air Superiority Fighter

Translocator Hover-Copter

Notice the lack of War Factory units. The anglo american army employ very high technology but due to democratic government they cannot field large forces at a time. Losses are considered severely for them and as most conflicts will not take part near member countries, transport is a major issue (both means and money). To make up for this major loss on the ground, the Anglo Alliance enjoy uncompromising Air Superiority.

[Khan]

What is the translocator hover? Some kind of transport?

[Apollyon]

yes... but its much better because of it's fancy name :).

[Khan]

LOL and what is technician (i would assume that it is like an engineer bu they don't exist in Generals).

[Apollyon]

yes, it can capture buildings, lay mines and repair vehicles.

[Khan]

Lay mines? Are you sure? It's just one guy. If you really want something to lay mines you should really build a mine laying tank.

[Apollyon]

not really, think of the american super unit who can lay infinite C4 charges...

[Khan]

What are the teams in your mod (ie who are the bad guys?)
