README:
New Units:
Before the Empire completely takes over a new world a squad of sroids is sent in to scan, build, spy, and clear the area of
hostiles. This is what this mod is all about.
Empire:
- Probe Droid:
The Empire regulary sends down probe droids to scan the area for life forms, preferably used for scouting than battle only
equiped with a pistol, 5 tri-shots, and if it is hostile enough a group will gather and sentence a orbital-strike, sacraficing
themselves.
- Astromech Droid:
To retrive data from machines and keep an eye on captives the Empire makes great use of astromech droids. All come standardly
equiped with a pistol, 3 mini-rockets, a fusioncutter, and jets.
- Health Droid:
Even stormtroopers need health. This droid gos around the field helping allies droid and human. Comes with a pistol, a
fusioncutter, and 5 health/ammo dispensors.
- IG Series Droid:
The infamous IG series of droids got a bad reputation by IG-88 an wanted droid. So nobody buys the model..... Except the
Empire secretly. They use these droids to spy, they are usually in the dark shadows of a Cantina or alley watching you. Comes
with a blaster rifle, sniper, and detonators.
- Elite Stormtrooper:
The only humans sent down, They monitor the droids and the locals for trouble or malfunction. Carry an extended blaster
rifle, detonators, and a probe droid.
- Lord Vader:
Vader's new top speed is a regular walk, he carries his saber but never uses it and only chokes foes for an instant kill. He is only
here to oversea the work.
Rebel Alliance:
!COMING SOON!
Glitches:
-Sometimes a droid may freeze for a few seconds.
-Droids still make a walking noise.
-Droids can jump.
( If their are any I missed report them to me.)

Oh, sorry I'm not releasing the files yet till they are perfect, they still have flaws. Right now they are just presented in a mod.

As far as astromechs go, you might check out this site for better references:

Good stuff, alpha.

A droid team of astromechs and health droids and ammo droids but given weapons and made mobile sounds like a good time.

Maybe make a map looking like the inside of a sandcrawler and have them against Jawas...o0

sef0907 · Post by **sef0907** » Tue Jan 03, 2006 6:05 pm

That would be sool, a droid rebellion, but I SUCK at making maps. I f you guys are willing to do it. Alpha, awsome skin! Your in the credits.

Alpha · Post by **Alpha** » Tue Jan 03, 2006 7:11 pm

Thx.

If you need anything else skin-wise I can try.

sef0907 · Post by **sef0907** » Tue Jan 03, 2006 7:57 pm

Cool, I think I'm going to change this of Kyross's plan and make sides for a battle inside a snandcrawer, or make one outside a sandcrawler with jawas trying to round up droids. (Tell me which idea you like best) Since I only have 5 units per side I will make most of them arto droids. So I'll need some skins. Anyone if free o make them. Here is what I need:
Use this websit I got from Teancum:
http://www.astromech.net/Lists/Gallerie ... efault.htm
To make two of the droids from the R2 series (Excluding R2-D2 and R2-Q2)
And this guy:
http://www.astromech.net/Lists/Gallerie ... epage3.htm
I know his head is diffrent but still make it from the starting msh I gave out. And from voting on the level also suggest units for the jawa side and the droid side.

I think I'll try G9
http://www.astromech.net/Lists/Gallerie ... echs/r4g9/
and T2
http://www.astromech.net/Lists/Gallerie ... echs/r3t2/
for now if that's good. I'll do M9, too.
I'll start tomorrow, though.

If you actually wanna do it(droid rebellion is what I was thinking when I suggested it) could help though I tend to get lazy and not finish maps.

sef0907 · Post by **sef0907** » Tue Jan 03, 2006 10:19 pm

Yeah, I'm open to all help, you just have to tell me what your going to do. My specialty is making units. I've made starter maps of hoth and geonosis, but they don't turn out very good. And my skinning tool is paintshop so I can't do much in that department. And you are in no rush Alpha.

Alpha · Post by **Alpha** » Tue Jan 03, 2006 11:12 pm

It takes me about five minutes max for one of those droid skins. I'll do it when I wake up in the morning.

sef0907 · Post by **sef0907** » Wed Jan 04, 2006 7:49 am

Okay, whatever time is good for you.

Alpha · Post by **Alpha** » Wed Jan 04, 2006 11:37 am

The G9 looks good but the T2 isn't as great. So if you want another just let me know.

M9 is OK, but not my greatest work.
http://www.maj.com/gallery/Adsoa/Revelation76/m9.tga
I'm sumbitting these now, so they'll show up in a few minutes.

Awsome Alpha! They look great, and I just looked at my map and..... It sucked, if anyone wants to make a Tatooine map just tell me and I'll tell you what I want in it.
