Purple vs Yellow era mod

Post by Tears2Roses »

As some of you know, I dislike mapping and love sides. I got the idea from Halo 2. I decided instead of red vs blue...why not another complementary colour? And I came up with PVY, purple vs yellow. The sides are 95% complete, I need to fix floating icons and possibly add battle damage.

Screenshots: Image

So, first off: none of the weapons/sounds are mine. They are from taivyx's terra strife assets pack. The sound.lvl is from his his map.

Second, the blood effect isn't mine. Using his blood effect as a base, I reworked it so it was more visible.

The sides EP3 vs EP2 troopers. One side is yellow, one side is...well um, purple. All units have shields. The weapons are realistict.

Now, to finish this, I need your guys opinions and ideas of what maps I should have (hence the poll) Then I can release it. Will get a video soon!

EDIT: the video

On a side note sorry for the bad video quality, it looked fine while recording. The AI are dumb, and hence why I was owning :mrgreen:.
Hidden/Spoiler:
all though this doesnt look like much its extremely fun to play. Dont judge a book by its cover :)
The top 5 maps will get put into the mod + mygeeto for a total of 6 maps. If you guys want more, please say so :)

Tantive IV would likely make for some great gameplay.

Since most of the work has already been done for you with the Terra Strife assets, I think you could put a little more effort into those skins and localization. Unless they are meant to be intentionally like that, of course.

I concur. :plokoon:


It also looks like you just used colorize on the stock 501st skin and added purple. At least use a clean white skin as a base.

Alright, then I will remake the skins with: 1) battle damage 2) use a white clone. Thanks for the advice. I will also localize the units. Instead of being all clone troopers, I will call them clone sniper, etc.

EDIT: Here is the updated skin in msh viewer. This is the second updated skin. Will get in-game pic soon.

Thanks for the suggestions.

This was done using labj's HD skins for better editting.

EDIT: The yellow dude.

Again, using labj's HD skins.

Also, I got myself a nice era icon. Image It looks great in-game. Very simple, but good.

THINGS LEFT: -Localize my units (done)
-do the yellow trooper skin (done)
-fix floating icons (done)
-add to all maps from poll properly
-make a proper era icon (done)
-type up a readme. (done)

Isn't the "Frage Grenade" supposed to be "Frag Grenade"?
