Just a set of odfs and mshs to change up the look of the recharge droids in your new maps. I used the R2 mesh as well. There's 9 new droids in all.

R2D1 - Red
R2D2 - Blue
R2D3 - Yellowish/Orange
R2D4 - Green
R2D5 - Purple

R4D1 - (Original mesh - not included) Red
R4D2 - Blue
R4D3 - Yellowish/Orange
R4D4 - Green
R4D5 - Purple

Simply dump them into your DataModID/Worlds/ModID folder.

Today i added 2 R2 units to the Coruscant Street map replacing the R4 unit.
They works well and look great

Thx Teancum!
You will be credit in the Readme!

No problem. It's my pleasure. Say, should I get around to making them, would you like more R2/R4 unit styles?

Examples:

Like, say the R2-A1, R2-Q2, R2-A5, R2-X2, R4-I9, etc.

Actually, I'd love to see someone w/XSI port a "certian" R5 model over. Shouldn't be hard anim wise. If anyone's interested in that, PM me.

Just found a bug with the R2 units. they don´t recognise blaster hits.
The collsion works fine if you run against them or if you drop some grenades but blasterfile went through the R2 without hitting them

During munge it reports a missing OrdnCylinder "aacylinder NULL 0.0 0.75 0.0 0.5 1.5 0.0" class

Post by **Teancum** » Fri Sep 23, 2005 7:24 pm

Well you find the mentioned entry in the odf file:

BuildingCollisionPrim = "BldgCylinder aacylinder NULL 0.0 0.75 0.0 0.5 1.5 0.0"
TerrainCollisionPrim = "TerrCylinder aacylinder NULL 0.0 0.75 0.0 0.5 1.5 0.0"
SoldierCollisionPrim = "SoldCylinder aacylinder NULL 0.0 0.75 0.0 0.5 1.5 0.0"
VehicleCollisionPrim = "VehcCylinder aacylinder NULL 0.0 0.75 0.0 0.5 1.5 0.0"
OrdnanceCollisionPrim = "OrdnCylinder aacylinder NULL 0.0 0.75 0.0 0.5 1.5 0.0"

So everything is fine except the Ordnance collision.

Hmmm... I'll do some research when I get back to town on Monday. Thanks for pointing out the bug.

Hey, Fred, if you read this thread (or if anyone else knows) -- Is there a way to alter the odf so we don't need to set a recharge region? It seems easier to just use something like this in the odf:

EffectRegion = "TerrCylinder aacylinder NULL 0.0 0.75 0.0 0.5 1.5 0.0"

Post by **Teancum** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 8:40 am

From the odf:

[InstanceProperties]
EffectRegion = ""
Radius = 20.0

So I don't have to create regions for each droid I place? I just have to set the radius?

Have you fix the collision bug now?
I need a fix version soon or i have to replace them with the Standart R4 unit.

Post by **Teancum** » Tue Sep 27, 2005 8:59 am

No, not yet. I will try again tonight and let you know then, Rends. It's still giving similar errors no matter what I replace it with.

Post by **Teancum** » Wed Sep 28, 2005 11:18 am

Rends, for now I'd remove the R2 units. Sorry about that. OrdnanceCollisionPrim does not work no matter what I do.

Rends · Post by **Rends** » Wed Sep 28, 2005 2:09 pm

Ok Teancum, i will do it. thx for trying to fix it!

Hey Nimlot, if you read this thread, do me a favor and extract com_item_vehiclerechage from the game source. I want to see if it's the same as the ones provided in the tools.
