Coming Soon- Methlyn: Ruins!!!

Post by **EraOfDesann** » Fri Jun 03, 2005 8:59 pm

The map has had some setbacks that are being addressed right now, so I'm not sure if it'll be ready for release tonight.

Nevermind! I got the problem solved and I'll release a beta version tonight! The only thing the beta will lack from the final version is name changes, new music, and RDST's great rocket trooper skin. So, there's not a huge difference between the beta and final version. I've been having some problems with the map so I wanted to give out the beta before anything got worse.

I'm going to release the beta here. First I have to cut down the file size and then find a host.

Sorry about the huge delay. I've just had some problems getting it to Gametoast for a long while. It was too big for me to e-mail (isn't 23.5MB somewhat small?), and other methods didn't work. However, I finally got it to Gametoast via http://www.yousendit.com. I also submitted it to Filefront. So, it should be available for public download soon. Probably by tommorow at least. Also, I'm working on a pack full of charts and communication screens that modders can put into their maps by using legos. Unfortunetely they don't have animations. I might learn that later. Anyway, I look forward to hearing what you have to say about Methlyn Ruins. It's my first mod ever so try not to be too harsh.

looks cool! cant wait for the beta relese!

The only thing the beta will lack from the final version is name changes,

name changes as in.........?

Post by **EraOfDesann** » Mon Jun 20, 2005 11:09 pm

Name changes have been taken care of.

It was just for the clone pilot, actually. However there is more to do than I originally said. I forgot about making a video and a mini-map. CG Artist volunteered to make the movie, but I need help with the mini-map. But currently I'm having a texture issue during the munging process. I have yet to fix it and I'm just waiting for a good opportunity to work on it with SteveK14, who is one of many great helpers that guided me. Once this problem is strangled, stabbed, burned, then disintegrated, it's smooth sailing from there. I'd expect the final version to come sometime in late July. Also Chamboozer, I PM'd you about something a while back, but I don't think you got it. I'll try again.

make a post about your question, so everyone can learn

Well what I want to do is get rid of the ARC Trooper.

Then I want to add another clone pilot to take his place.

I need to apply a new skin (courtesy of RDST) to the pilot.

Finally, I need to replace all his weapons and stuff with the ARC Trooper's.

ok...be sure all the files mentioned below are read-only.

1.) make a copy of your other pilots ODF
2.) rename it to whatever you like. example: rep_inf_vanguard.odf
3.) make a copy of your clone pilots MSH
4.) rename it to whatever you like. example: rep_inf_vanguard.msh
5.) view it in ultraedit and look for the line "rep_inf_clonepilot.tga" and rename it to whatever RDST's skin is.
6.) go back to the ODF and look for the line "rep_inf_clonepilot.msh and rename it to your new MSH.
7.) go to the weapon section and change the lines to the lines in the ARC trooper ODF weapon secton.
8.) ad the unit to the game.
9.) clean, munge.
10.) Praise Chamboozer with jaderock statues of him.
