New mod

What I don't get is that having 5 movement classes is still a significant improvement over BA and CA (whether or not it's valuable is another question, since even 20+ classes does not really take all that long to path), and would avoid these problems. Keeping the movement classes as low as possible doesn't seem so bad in itself, but I don't see why you have to enforce having only one.

IIRC CA cut down movement classes a lot, and there are only around 8-12 now.

There's 20, give or take a couple.

I have 4 currently. A 1x1 for infantry and 2x2's, a 4x4 for 3x3's and 5x5's, one for a hover unit and another for 15x15, standard for buildings, which don't move much, anyways.

It really doesn't take that long to path. You don't need 1 per unit or anything...

WHERE ARE THE PICS, CAYDR???

Non-moving buildings do not need movementclass, wasn't that obvious?

Pink text is uncalled for. I'm not posting pictures probably until I have the first units ingame. When I post pictures people just tear apart what I'm doing without seeing it in action. This is on top of my other reason, that I have no idea whether what I'm currently making will actually be part of the mod by the time it's releasable, so if I posted pictures now all I'd get later is, "where's unit x, you said it was going to be in"... etc. It's happened before with AA, a lot. People get the feeling that I'm unreliable....

Finished 11 more models this last week. I have a basic framework of all the necessary units and structures now, I'll spend a while fleshing the in-between units out.

I'm also spending a lot of the time I'm working, thinking up unit concepts, etc, etc. Got a lot interesting ideas...

For instance. My plan from way back when was to merge my various mods into one implausibly-balanced supermod. The beaty was, the various sides are totally unlike each other. But what's preventing me from taking those basic race ideas and reworking them into unrelated, copyright-free original works? Instead of an Advance Wars mod, there's an advance-wars-ish race. Instead of a GEM mod, there's a GEMmish race. Instead of AA, there's a TA-like race. Good idea, right? I think it could work out. My basic designs for that Abolition thing... I know it sounds crazy but I actually struck a balance between them. Really I know it sounds impossible...

Soo... since what everyone is expecting is a TAish mod, I will start primarily working on the TAish race, then expand to other races down the line. Sound good?

Also... a name popped into my head which I think I'll use for the TA race. Epic pun. I looove those.

I don't want to be overly optimistic, but so far I'm ahead of the schedule I had planned. Things are working well... I've got a couple units animated already, thanks to the fact that I'm not bothering with fancy walk scripts.

Also I just got a raise! ^^ Getting one of those drawing tablets to help with texturing at the end of the month, I think.

/me wants a beaty

<_< >_> ....Anyone?

The name of the side, I hope, is something more creative than Leg, Spiral, or Bulge.

[kiki]

Sleska should name it, since he embodies all of the ota ideals.

Bigoted Spam-ism?

[kiki]

hmm, he never plays his precious BA, he just says "I havent played in a long time" or "I suck at playing" and then just specs.

Once again I request a sarcasm tag for my previous post.

And still no screenshots?
