Script

I was thinking if were going to use the team ball thing from Nanoblobs, why not have it be a team "brick?" A brick the color of your team above your units like the spheres in Nanoblobs

s3o or 3do
I am trying to UV map one of my models, well see how that goes.

lol, a brick?

Heheh, I like where this is going

I love where this is going

i adore it
<3

Is it vaguely possible to make stackable features?

I dont know much of anything about features.

Features... Ehh, depends, Spring engine doesn't have a big point on special effects..

Besides that I haven't even got a little bit past the unit scripting part XD

I'm already well on the way with scripting. I have the following units redone:

MAG:

Commander
Construction Man
Extractor
Energy plant
Radar
Metal Storage
Lvl1 Factory
Several infantry men



Now, does anyone know how to make a yardmap? The wiki just says "ooo oxxcococo" or something like that, and gives a definition, but doesnt tell you how to properly make one.

Another example of MAG's insane engineering. Notice the body of the mech.

Oh god yes. That mech owns. EXACTLY what MAG should look like. Nice work!

I'm not sure but i think a kbot lab is like this:
XXX
XOX
XOX

Where O is the area where units can walk. So remove the linebreaks and
you get

XXXXOXXOX

You can open the existing mods and look at their factories (units).

There is a nice a descriptive bit in the wiki about yardmaps, I just can't remember where I found it...

Hmm, ive got an interesting problem with the Dragons teeth aka BLOCKade.

When i start constructing it, everything goes normally. It is displayed and built and everything. But once the building is complete, it instantly disappears. Not just the model, but the whole thing. I cant select it, i cant see it, i can walk through where it was supposed to be.


I've been through all the files, and nothing seems wrong

[edit] Ive figured out that removing the "IsFeature=1" tag in the FBI file fixes the problem, but then it acts as a normal unit.

I've seen a weird bug before where the builder would instantly reclaim a DT after finishing it...if this happened with a unit that didn't use a build anim, it would look instant...

You made a feature using the same model... right?

yes, i think so


[BSOD][KoBS]Demon made some great Logos, check them out:







I like em both.

They're quite good.


I'm currently modelling a lvl 2 bomber (not sure which faction). Once I'm done that, I'm making a spider vehicle with vertical launch rockets.

The one for MAG looks like a pokeball XD

You're right! I never noticed before.
