StarWars Addons by Acacyn

Looks great! I'll try it out as soon as I get home.

[kavoven 4]

Wow!

Really great addon! I love the lasergun, shots as fast as I have it in imagination ^^

Some ideas for your mod:

We all knoe that this IMPERIUM vs Old/New Republic has been used in many games before.

Did you ever read the series with the Yuzaahn Vong?

In german it's called "Das Erbe der Jediritter", I just looked it up at amazon and I believe it's called "The new Jedi order" in english, quiet different....

Anyway I really hope you did read it, because it would be something special which nobody ever did use in a film or a computer - game. The Vong are completely different from people living in the SW galaxies and their way of flying and fighting is completly diffrent, too.

[Commander-598 0]

While I love the model and it's performance in my hands, it appears that the AI can't use it at all, and if the AI does appear to be responding to a target it will just continue to circle the target at an ever increasing altitude until the fuel reaches zero.

A standard BIS vulcan will toss it around a bit to much, in comparison to the BIS A10/Su25 which receive only a slight vibration.

If you set it to flying in the editor, it's beginning speed is over 1200(I'm guessing this is a script issue), which will pretty much blow over any standard Flashpoint island in a few seconds.

Overall I think the handling is a bit too light, the AI and "tossing" problem is probably related to the same thing. I think some of your scripts are responding too slowly.

Personally, I would just give it a normal runway take-off/landing and ditch the scripts, but that's just me.

Coincidentally these are roughly the same issues I have with the other recent SW releases(A-Wing, Y-Wing). Although the AI can seem to use the A-Wing.

@k@voven: Danke für das Lob ! Vong? Ist das eine Spezies? Haben die coole Raumschiffe und Waffen? Oder sogar coole Rüstungen? Wenn ja, dann wäre es echt toll wenn du mir ein paar Bilder von denen zuschicken oder hier posten könntest

@k@voven: Thanks !Vong? Is that a species? If yes could you please send me pics of their ships, gear, weapons and armors?

[kavoven 4]

Just a few infos in english(I'll continue this per PM, much faster in german )

The Vong are from another galaxy and the really real enemy after Admiral Thrawn out of the Thrawn series(6 books).

They hate everything which has to do with machines, everything they use is biological. They believe in some gods and their highest goal in life is pain. They sacrifice their hands for example to the gods.

Their fleeds are controlled by one lifeform, it's called the war-coordinator. He communicates with the ships and tells them where to go and so...

The ships haven't got any shields, but they use some kind of black holes to absorb the laserbeams and so on. In the first books the New Republic had many problems to destroy them. The fighters are highly trained and they use some kind of stick which cannot be cut through by the lightswords of the Jedi. And the Jedi even can't feel them by the force. So there is a really dangerous new enemy. In the 9th book they conquer Corucant and I think now they Republic is turning the tide.

Ok, I could tell much more about the books, but that would be too OT...

@Commander-598: Actually the AI flies very well on my computer   There are cool dogfight and they hunt the enemies really good (as you can see on the public pics)

And the ship is a VTOL so i cant use a normal start/landing script. The original scripts are all made by KaRRiLLioN who made the A-,Y-Wing and YT2000 aswell.

And some of the scripts slow down the speed of that ship. So if you put it into the editor as flying it has its original speed, but if you start of the ground, it has a very slow speed (just something with 600)

Dont ask me why

But i hope you ejnoy it anyway

i think i can fix those problems until the next version of the ARC.

@K@voven: thanks for the info, but unfortunately it sound impossible to create this with OF. Maybe ArmA or OF2

Just before I go to bed.. That thing is great

Easy to fly.. Comming from a person who can barrely take off a Cessna

Flew it around a map in MP, flew it up small valley types things behind Gandalf, narrowly avoided him about 10 times flying head on etc

Well done

Okedokey, i have started following ships...

-V-19 Torrent Starfighter (Of Episode II until III )

-V-21 Raptor Starfighter (Thats a self-invented-construction. I use a very very cool concept sketch which i have found in the web. It will be similiar to teh V-19 but much more cooler, i promise)

(Pics will be posted soon)

-Geonosian Starfighter (Of Episode II - III )

(Pics will be posted soon)

[Acacyn 0]

Ok, the V-19 has 4 <span style='color:red'>Concussion Missiles</span> and i have created a seperate .pbo where this <span style='color:red'>ConMis</span>is. But it has a strange bug.

If i dont lock any target than the conmis flies absolutely normal straight forward, like a hellfire, but as soon as i lock a target (an air vehicle) the conmis flies some metres forward and than it flies up into the sky and change the direction. --> <span style='color:yellow'>WHY?</span>

Whats wrong there?

The Conmis modell in O2 has a weight of 18 in Geometry Lod and just one component.

These?

[kavoven 4]

Yes, probably, although they don't have so(! many spikes on their heads. But their fighting stick (Amphiestaff) identifies them clearly

Ah, and their body armor doesn't look like they're body-builders ^^

Remember, the armor is alive, too And that thing doesn't look to vital to me

EDIT

Founrd the entry in the SW Databank:

I have to say seeing that sort of fellow in OFP Star Wars would be awesome

[kavoven 4]

Well, I do not think even ArmA will be capable simulation the Amphiestaffs. You know, on the one hand they can be as strong as anything(they even resist lightswords) and on the other hand they combine this strength with the flexebility of a snake

[MontyVCB 0]

what i find weird is in the end the new republic and the imperial remenment join forces to kill the vong , how ironic

[Acacyn 0]

who had won?

[kavoven 4]

The imperium had already problems with the vong in their time. I don't know if somebody here knows, but Vader hat a huge castle in the outer terretories of the galaxis. And there where the first fights between the vong and tie-fighters. But they decided to keep quiet, because they didn't know anything about them.

I think I can remember that the "Hinterbliebenden" (the old Imperium) had also the idea to modfie the frequence of the lasers, but that goes again to OT

Now, at the moment it looks like the Vong have won, because Corucant has fallen and the Jedi loosing people everyday. Had Solo has lost two of his children in a commando operation and so on...

But I guess everything will turn out fine

[Pappy Boyington 0]

hey i have a small suggestion for your ships... i have been playing with them non stop.. completly awesome. the flight dynamics the take off and landing i LOVE IT.

one thing that bugs me when i order my AI units to get in the ship it says "2 get in plane"

and its not a plane its a ship (space ship in essence)

in teh config add the line namesound="ship" and that way the starships will be refered to as a ship instead of a plane.

other then that i love it

[Acacyn 0]

thank you for the tip That will be fixed in the final/next version

BTW: Who knows how many point and faces have the soldiers of Hyakushik`s Modern US Troops? I think i will make the same count of them in my Clone Pack

[hmmwv 0]

Well, due to job related reasons, I don´t have much free time right now, but i had some time to start this early concept art for the custom ARC Trooper (made without any visual reference but my poor visual memory):

I hope you like it.

Greetings

[gandalf the white 0]

Looks awesome!

Great work, though they all look alike
