It's weird how a SBD's left arm has nothing but a hand. Its even weirder that a SBD has wrist rockets without an actual wrist rocket launcher attached to its left hand.

It doesn't matter how it should look like but maybe an example of Republic Commando can give you some clues to what it needs to look like.

The RC Super Battle Droid has a good example of a wrist rocket launcher.

No, just no. Unless someone is willing to edit the actual model and then re-bone (not the way it should be said but i forgot the other word) it and export it again, which no one will do.

The ones from RC aint rocket launchers. They are heavy lasers that take out vehicles.

Doideka88, for some reason I actually DO see 2 lasers an the right hand - which is in the left side of your screen But I don't mind the 'missing rocket' launcher if I gotta be honest - not exactly something you should think about in the heat of battle

You and your 'accuracy'.

No, I don't agree with this for two reasons.

1-Takes way too much time and the end result is rather superfluous.

2-You want this to replace the old SBD, which would requir having a different .lvl for your game. Who would sacrifice online play for a wrist launcher that you can only see for less than half a second when it shoots? (I'll answer for you. Other than you, next to nobody)

I just imagine the center area of the arm flips over/spins around when it's using something like tri shot or the rocket launcher, since you don't see three barrels for tri shot either.

No, just no. Unless someone is willing to edit the actual model and then re-bone (not the way it should be said but i forgot the other word) it and export it again, which no one will do

Oh really? You're saying that as if people wasted their time remodeling a Clone Trooper with Cody's helmet. You're also saying that as if the creator of the Clone Carbine wasted his time remodeling. Way to support this creative buddy.

How is this relavent at all? I'm taking about the SBD's left hand, which has nothing. I know that its right hand has a blaster arm.

Look it just doesn't make any sense at all. It's even more unusual than the concept of the Jedi.

Exactly. In fact, if somebody is willing too, you can easily insert a three mini barrel to the SBD's right blaster arm.

Uhmmm, I neve said that. Making a commander cody is different than adding a little detail to a model. And making a new weapons is even MORE different. I'm not saying OOM-9 wasted his time, i'm saying this request is a waste of time, since no one really cares if the SBD has a little rocket launcher or not.

I don't see a point in this... i don't really think this is necesary but if it is... Do it yourself...

I don't have it. Look guys let's use common sense here again. There's no way a SBD's left hand can instantly shoot out a rocket. It's not possiblie unless you gave it a wrist rocket launcher.

Just so you know, it can't look like Penguin's SBD from "Tatooine Valley". I'm talking about inserting an actual cannon to its left hand.

Maybe it can be either attached on top of its left hand or the left arm is basically a cannon, with no hand.

since no one really cares if the SBD has a little rocket launcher or not.

Am I sensing arrogance? How would you know everybody here doesn't care. It's only a simple detail that will make the SBD look more threating.

and OOM-9 didn't just model the helmet he added sensors and other small stuffs and edited the armor and plates so it were Cody's and not a normal Clone's

and believe me in this, because I've been fiddling with Cody for a week from Jello-cody to an almost perfect unit and he added lots of things, which made things tough for me - lol

And that's making an entirely new unit, which wil be used as a new unit.

Not replacing an exisiting one tah replaces the .wld folder.

See, there is a difference.

To quote myself...

Perhaps this will ring a bell to you.

And what you say is very unbiased. Seriously mate. Open your mind to new ideas...

Hey Droideka88, STOP. First of all, if you want accuracy (*declares self as accuracy God*), the CIS B-2 Battle Droid did NOT have a rocket launcher or heavy cannon. That is just made up. So, how about we just scrap the whole rocket thing? Done.



For proof, go here:

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/B-2_battle_droid


Now please, I think I speak for almost everyone if not all, when I say SHUT UP.

The only other person who needs yelling at on this thread is Epena, because he is trying to discredit any reason for accuracy, and I must defend accuracy because I love it. Otherwise, Epena is right as well.

Also, Droideka88, if you still want it after what I have posted, MAKE IT YOURSELF. Obviously no one here will do it. So, why not do it yourself and stop begging others for it? It's fine to ask other people to make stuff, as long as they agree to. But, after requesting, arguing, and begging, maybe you should DO IT YOURSELF.

And listen to Qdin and JabbaLovesLava, they are right.

And for the record, Epena you have no idea what you are talking about. Making a new model for this player model's first-person view would NOT affect the .wld file. .wld files are for maps, silly.



Now go and behave yourselves, all of you.

- Majin Revan

Revan does have a point (although it could have been presented with out the flames, maybe Revan needs to behave). Also Revan is (atleast at GT) the king of accuracy.

These types of threads in the Modeling section of GT are almost always ignored for the simple fact that it takes more effort than its worth. This section of GT is for presentation of work and not requests. Its unfortunate that it gets clogged with them.

I really wouldn't be complaining about accuarcy in Battlefront. I also wouldn't be complaining about how things don't make sense. For God's sake, it's Star Wars. Things don't need to make sense in a fictional universe.

Droideka, we do have open minds, just your too closed minded to think about how this is a bad idea. Besides this entire thread is just turning into a flame bout.

flames aren't needed,
-RDST

Right on RDST!

Admins, maybe

The OFFICIAL Mod/Map/Character request thread

should be called

The OFFICIAL Mod/Map/Character/XSI request thread.

Just a thought.

Droideka , you are right. It would be easy to add a launcher to the left arm ... however its the enveloping etc that makes this request not worth the bother.

You have been told this by people who know more about the modelling process than you , so you have no reason to start crying about it. Unless your just a whiney b*tch ,by nature.


It would be nice to have a launcher but its not worth it. End of.

Whoops, Majin, I meant. .lvl .

Also, accuracy is a very good things. And it's crunchy, slitghtly tangy, yet roubust, but there come sa point where it doesn't really matter anymore. Which brings me ot my major point.

Balance, dangit, BALANCE.

No, not falling over balance, but gameplay balance.

-Health is weak. They need more stamina than droidekas...

-Their speed should be a little slower than a Battle Droid's

-They need some small unit limit. OR, you need to fix the problems with the numbers of droidekas and then proceed with the SBDs

-They need to have a Wrist Rocket Launcher. How can a hand shoot out a rocket?

- When they jump, animate their arms not all the way up...

-The Wrist Rocket itself is weak and needs a little more splash and damage

-They're too short....or the droideka's height is too high..

-How can a SBD shoot three lasers out of a twin blaster arm? This relates to its Tri-Shot.

-Wrist Blaster needs to fire a little faster...

See, those are some excellent points. For an unbalanced game. Like RC. The CIS is powerfull, yes. Probably the way you like them. But it's unbalanced. RC is meant to be unblanced because it's one of those 'challenge' type games. BF2 is like that via AI count, RC was how the AI are. You know what emporing those SBD's would do? Make the game harder. For the Republic.

Now let me ask you this. Do you really think that people will chose Rep over CIS because it's harder? Hen no! Maybe you would, maybe I would once or twice, but in the long run, especially online, it's freaking unbalanced. People have a tendency to want things easier. Online the CIS would be flocked and the Rep would be abandoned to its sad fate.

And that's why it's a bad idea.

*LOCKED* -- the flames were starting to burn down the GT cabin....
