Announing: Tech Map

Post by **Teancum** » Wed Jan 18, 2006 4:20 pm

There's a few left that haven't been added. Look at Lucasarts' Battlefront website under Alliance vehicles and Gian Speeder -- it's actually called the Heavy Attack Speeder. Fred has the files, but we haven't got down to working on it yet. As far as others, there's just prototype vehicles that were early versions of certain speeders, and some Clone Wars content. Fred was looking through his files and found a bunch of Clone Wars stuff -- buildings, textures, etc. He said he's thinking about exporting those.

Here's a good example of a prototype vehicle:

The Rebel Combatspeeder

I just played it last night and it was awesome. I love the droid fighter and jedi fighter animations. They rock. Now I can actually drive the hovernaut too! yeah

Well the vehicles are all great. I really like the AT-XT and the rebel vehicles such as the two-man speeder. But will you be changing the walker's lasers and missles to blue? I recommend doing that to make it more like the Clone Wars game version, but I think modders can just do that by making changes in the ODF?

@ Desann --- Right now I'll keep the walker's lasers at red. Anyone is welcome to change them on an as-needed basis. They can ask me how and I'll walk them through it.

I didn't encounter any bugs (except those that you are aware of already), and everything was lots of fun. Except I hopped in a Vulture Droid Fighter and my computer crashed!

That wasn't caused by the game though.

On the topic of walker weapons, and since you were able to convert the AT-RT, are you able to convert it's secondary weapon (the mortar, with the big glowing trail) to SWBF 1? I ask because I imagine this as the AT-XT's secondary as well.

I actually haven't touched the AT-RT in about a month. It has mesh problems, and so Fred has to fix it. The only way to get the rider to animate properly is to attch him to a bone, and so another needs to be added.

Talking of "meshes problems", do you know whether it'd be possible to upload the "source files" (In other words, *.XSI files) of the vehicles you've restored through this project, so that they could be tweaked and improved into any Softimage|XSI product ?

Fred said it's not allowed as far as Pandemic models, and I used Milkshape for the A-Wing, TIE Phantom, R-41, Moldy Crow, and TIE X1. I've tried convincing Fred, but I think it's really a liscense issue on his part and he doesn't want to get in trouble.

I've always wondered if Fred was actually aloud to help us modders and give out resouces and such. I guess cos his website is called Secret Society, and his boss doesn't know.mmmm

I don't think so... A banner pointing to psych0fred web-site is displayed on GameToast's left border, and as Pandemic Studios seem to consult guru's place rather frequently, I guess they should have noticed it before... So, place a banner promoting a "secret" site isn't really the best choice to make to keep your privacy safe...

Another secret vehicle is in the works. . . :missle:

I could guess, but then it wouldn't be a secret.

Actually, I was playing with Guru's EAWMod2, and I brought Mon Mothma into a space battle... her ship was an "Alliance Shuttle", which was just one of these:

...With a different color scheme. Interesting!

I'll be on hiatus for the next month or so. I have to get ahead on my Mega Man game for my college Game Dev class. I could use an apprentice for the Tech Map if anyone is interested to do a few things.

Oh, and Ex... it's funny you should mention the Republic GTrans...
