Mecha lobster! Are you making a Megaman mod or what?

I was thinking of Transformers... Skorponok for the win. A Transformers mod would be cool and very unique :). Afaik there hasn't been a Transformers RTS so far.

always when you make a mod have of everyunit a concept thats alot easier to model, you can take everything like the thing that snipawolf taked or take lego the new technic or what thats modern or just take your own paint skillz

I sux at paint and online stuff, my mouses don't have stability, however I do like drawing and am fairly decent at it :p I will try to get a commander somehow

I can see why not - how would you handle it? TF is all about unique characters. Would you have a few heroes and then armies of "unnamed jet transformer" and "unnamed car transformer"?

How would you handle transformation? If it was all-manual then the microing would be pure hell. Especially if you included Skorponoc - what, you want his head to come off and fight after the body dies?

Wow

When this comes out i think it's gonna be a big hit.

Thanks for the replys :p If you played Zoids Battle Legends you shoulda seen it, or the second version in japan

All unique robots, each comes with a metal upkeep. Metal will be scarce and only used to run said TFs . So you'll end up building up a small taskforce choosing from a set pool of unique Transformers. I'd like the upkeep to prevent people from simply building all available and then kick butt. Would need a little engine modification, like maxBuild.

Cars: When there's nothing to fight (e.g. aim on) after a set timeout (10 seconds?), then the Transformer transforms back into car mode. Car mode = speed burst. For cars which are unarmed so the tank bot should be manual.

Planes: All manual.

Everything else, same as above (manual if armed, automatic if not).

Pxlt wrote:Especially if you included Skorponoc - what, you want his head to come off and fight after the body dies?

Would need engine modifications to give units the ability to leave behind other units, e.g. 50% chance a Tank leaves behind a Pilot or something like that. So there have to be some cutdowns here and there. Megatron in gunmode has to be floating and stuff like that (unless there's an option for a unit to mount or fuse with another unit, e.g. Megatron in gun mode + Soundwave)

Getting a little bit off topic here, but oh well...

As for your zoids mod (I take it, it's going to be one), Snipawolf, go make the Bersek Fuhrer with the Storm pack addon next :)

Snipawolf · Post by **Snipawolf** » 12 Jul 2006, 18:10

o.0 It's not a zoids mod, it will have a few zoids in it, zoids resemble animals, and animals are good at what they do, so I will have a shadow fox as a medium scout, mebbe berserk fuhrer as a high class unit :p

Just a problem with it, I'm not sure about rgb channels and hierarchy....

I know what each channel does, just not how to assign em, and hierarchy, besides the word I got no info

I might do some more zoids, most likely a couple more....

I just thought about making the zoids mod XD that would be cool, but I wanna do this first

Edit: Damnit, Now I was thinking and I wanna do a zoids mod MORE NOW, cuz of Shields and long lasting lazers, urgghhh dang you!

.MJJNL. · Post by **.MJJNL.** » 12 Jul 2006, 18:14

.MJJNL. · Post by **.MJJNL.** » 12 Jul 2006, 18:15

Snipawolf · Post by **Snipawolf** » 12 Jul 2006, 18:19

o.0 Skinning tut, kinda found it, lemme go find it in the place I posted it in

http://neoengine.emedia-solutions-wolf. ... pping.html

Oh and Edit: looks good, not too many pixels to screw up if I convert it into wings :p

Edit2: I googled Death Stinger for the one I found :p

I was even riding one in Legacy

Ligers are the suck! Oh and remove the tags (EZ-##) from the texture, they don't fit then.

Snipawolf · Post by **Snipawolf** » 12 Jul 2006, 21:39

Ya I hate ligers too, anyhow I guess I can remove the EZ and junk :p

Is anyone old-school as me enough to acctually own a zoid from when they were released in the US a while back as TechnoZOIDS? Is anyone hard core as me enough to have been in Japan and seen the Zoids Anime on TV and predict it would be the next big toy fad to hit the US?

Yay! I can pretend I'm cool!
