I am interested in helping. Mostly because you need someone who can model. >_< Since when does a Core Commander upgrade to an Arm one? Make it have like tank legs or something at lower levels. And the retextured 3do's make me cry.

xD

I came up with an idea to give kbots a betterchance against tanks and other heavier vehicles.

Anti-Vehicle Kbots, armed with ballistic missiles better armourment for tanks and nother really else. I may limit this to tech 2 but undecided.

Use the com models from XTA or CA, jeeze.

Complicated · Post by **Complicated** » 18 Oct 2007, 10:31

Is that allowed to take textures from those mods? xD

Also tanks have been arranges into different classes due to new weaponary and defenses against tanks. Aswell has hovers fallen into these categories

Increase the rocko's damage per shot and cost

Nah, they're remain a rocket support unit,
I got a good idea of a unit for tanks and hovertanks.

Is importing CA and XTA coms allowed? O_o for tech 2 and tech 3 commanders?

Complicated · Post by **Complicated** » 18 Oct 2007, 12:09

Is it a good idea to move The experiemental labs to the tech 3 commander's list?

Edit: Idea scrubbed, I have better plans for a new factory which should be introduced in Version 0.8 :]

Contact the people in charge of those mods... most likely they will be amenable but you need to ask.

Review the primary post for brief changelog

I've some issues with the new version:
First of all the file I downloaded was just EpicAnnihilationv071sdz instead of EpicAnnihilationv071.sdz so you have to change this on your own. I then played it a bit with SpringSP first as Core then as Arm on Speedmetal to have a look at everything. The first game crashed when I tried to build a Lvl2 Con Vehicle. The second game crashed when trying to build a Lvl2 Con KBot. Maybe you check that though I right now have some things running in the background which might interfere but it's strange that the crash always occurs when the model should get placed in the factory (i.e. you click the build button, the factory opens but when it should start building spring crashes)...

Try presenting the errors in the infolog please. Thank You.

I'm afraid this has nothing to do with the mod and may have something to do with your spring.

[Krogoth86] · Post by **[Krogoth86]** » 23 Oct 2007, 15:50

Well I'm having no problems with other mods or previous versions of yours and even not with the one I started to fiddle around with...

But here some more details:
This shows the scene where the Adv. Builder should be built but the game crashes:

Though when I wanted to do that screenshot I got another error message I couldn't reproduce:

And finally the infolog though I see nothing of importance there:

I think I'll try it without LUA once again (and I also tried it without setting the speed up) and see what happens. It also could be a SpringSP error so I think I'll try it via the Lobby too. Again: No problems with other mods, other programs or earlier versions of your mod...

UPDATE:
Nope it's not about LUA or SpringSP. I now also got the second error message again so it's nothing special...

Complicated · Post by **Complicated** » 23 Oct 2007, 19:59

Again, it is your spring. I've recreated your error unsuccessfully, it could be the speedmetal map which would make this mod great, causing it to crash on speedmetal only :D

redownload the mod and if that doesnt work reinstall spring.

two things;
Your first screenshot means fuck all to me :/
Your second screenshot clearly states your problem.

I know, but Imma clean it out later xD

Well it still doesn't work but I cheated my way around it to have a look at everything...

I think you made a mistake with the Siege (Core Heavy Hover) because it only has 500 health - I guess that should be 5000...

At the same time that zero seems to have gone into the Commander's morph time. Seriously - the time you have to wait for a morph is about the time of a short to medium long taking game! I think the time for it was 3000 - cut it down to 300 or something and make it cost something instead...

The tank will be adjusted as it may of been accidently skipped, however the morphing part, that is a total of 5 minutes, or so it should be, but it is 50 minutes for now, but I'll see how I can change that, as there is no time and cost limits in the luascript.

I tried the mod. After 2 hours of in-game time (about 15 minutes in real time thanks to .setmaxspeed 20), waiting for the commander to morph, only to find that there is no way to fire the MRLS...
