Like Teancum said I don't want to get in to deep,
I mean just changing a stock era would be fine.
I will do my best to help just don't plan on making a totaly new game (exaggeration)
Some one said something about our goal I think we should start small if we pass our goal great, but falling a goal is worse than passing it :?

Well the idea is to make a new era (well for idea A and B). Each team will create a team name and theme. Basicly we are more or less creating a new war (we can use reskined shipped MSH).

But if that is to difficult to attempt, we can do C where all we do is edit the units on the existing sides. Like for example: New stormtrooper skin with faster gun, new droid class, new clone legion, rebel commando unit class, so on and so forth.

I'd like to do the first but if that seems undoable to everyone we'll just do #2.

Either seems doable if there isn't to much modeling because that takes time :?
P.S. My pc keeps crashing when I model or UV in XSI so I'll have to stick to odf/skining anyway. TY for listening

Ginev can make maps. (And pretty good ones for that matter) I'm also gonna try to teach him some side creation. He's been my apprentice for a long time.

Don't tell anyone, but I think he's plotting to overthrow me. XD

So, would this mod be replacing the .lvl sides in the shipped game or added to a custom map? If it's for the shipped game, I think you would need knowledge of hex editing. Unless you can just make (as an example); a rep.lvl side for your custom map and then replace the shipped rep.lvl with yours. I've only made a side for my map, so I don't really know how it works.

Unfortunatly I don't either, this will be my first attempt at it. It would be nice to get hypershadow in the project but he hasn't been active lately.

you would need battlebelks mission level tool, or just dont change the names of the odfs and copy the sides from their addon folder then paste them in the sides folder of the main game

Sounds about right as I have actually copied over the sides from the second Rouge Clones map and used it as a normally sides mod!
Very fun! :D

Guys, those of you that don't know my xfire it's : rlratleader34
I'll be on right now and I'd be glad to discuss ideas with someone.
EDIT: oh and everyone PLEASE get xfire, it is SOOOOO much easier to instant message on xfire than try to talk in this thread/PM each other. Unless you can't get xfire for some weird reason get it. It's completely free and won't get you a virus. After you download it just make an account. http://www.xfire.com

Well I generally don't like instant messaging because it can't be regulated. I've quit online-play because it can't be regulated. But maybe I'll get x-fire, maybe.

xfire is the best way for us to do this, it will lets all the people who are involved talk together and colaborate, send files to each other, share videos about progress, its not like we are going to spam and swear. if you use a public thing like guru people who are not involed will get in the way with planning, and pming is too slow.

I don't think I'm at the point where I can commit enough time to the project to do that.
:(
Have we split into team yet because that should be next.

p.s. does anyone know if that clan of [I/O] people are members of gt?
they made that dedicated glich server on SWBF 1 I think.
