{WIP 80%} Rocket's Wookiee Side Assets

by ROCKET
Hi, everyone. I've visited this site and enjoyed everyone's mods since SWBF1 days, but never found the time or made the effort to do anything myself until recently. So now I've put together some weapons and tried to make unique-looking Wookiee classes. The assests included quite a few unique Wookiee skins and models, and I've done a few minor skin modifications of my own. I also did a little mesh and animation scaling to get wookiees of slightly different heights. My overall intent is to have this side be slightly more powerful than the opposing CIS side, but to balance it with greater CIS numbers.
Here's where I'm at so far:
Wookiee Warrior:
Heavy Assault Wookiee:
Wookiee Elder:
Wookiee Mechanic:
Wookiee Commando:
Wookiee Chieftan:
And my Wookiee Hero, Tyvokka:
And a few in-game shots:
This one shows the Wookiee Side-Arm. I probably need to scale it down a little:
To do list:
ODF's/scripts:
- Adjust unit health, speed, etc. - Done
- Play around with weapon damage, ords, and impact effects. - Done
- Get a few missing weapon sounds incorporated.
- Try to get some secondary melee weapons working for a few classes. - Done
Models:
- Get weapon fire points to work correctly (instead of firing from the 0,0,0 point). - Done
- Try to add weapon shadow volumes.
Localizing:
- Get unique names for individual units to work (unit class and weapon names do work).
GCW era:
- Copy over existing units, but give them stolen/smuggled non-Wookiee weapons under the assumption that the Empire has shut down their weapons factories.

Nice weapon models indeed, only my personal taste says that they're a bit too bright... But nice for a first mod (first one rightt?) No offensive, just some comment because i always make Jedi; you really HAVE TO improve that saber texture

Still i think those are TERRIFIC assets and i'll definetaly use them in my sides!

Thanks, FOOLIS. Thanks, MandeRek. The models were the easy part for me. I'm used to solid modelling in my line of work, so poly modelling wasn't too different.
Texturing has been harder for me. Getting the wood/copper/bronze/etc to look right has come a long way, but you're right. They are still a bit bright. And I agree on the saber as well. I wanted a longer saber (He IS a Wookiee after all!) but that always seems to make it look blocky. Any suggestions for how to improve it?

This looks awesome, the wookiees are an intresting race and in the original game they didn't get much attention. Can't wait for this to come out. Like that rocket launcher model, are the weapon models your own? They're great, but just a bit bright.

You can make the saber longer via ODF, and the saber is blocky, cause you must have broken the alpha channel.

Impressive... quite impressive. :vader2:
How many of those models are cannon and how many are made up? I'm quite looking forward to the release of this one!

Well, I darkened up the weapon texture a bit. Does this look any better?
All new weapons are cannon and modelled by me. All can be found on wookieepedia under the names shown. All guns are new models expect for the mechanic's bowcaster. But I'm thinking of creating the "Wookiee Assault Bowcaster" for that unit. The only thing non-cannon is the presence of Tyvokka during the clone wars. He was killed a few decades before, but he was too cool to leave out.
And yes, the Guided Rocket Launcher is in Republic Commando. I currently have it firing a salvo of 5 rockets at a time. Not actually that useful against infantry, but he's gonna be a real tank-killer.
I'll have to look into that alpha channel, Caleb. Thanks.
This side, obviously, will be used in a Kashyyyk map. Once I have that map ready to release I will also release all assets for this side.

You nailed it, Caleb. I goofed up the alpha channel when I changed the texture color. It looks a whole lot better now.

Pretty good and even more so since you're new

Glad to see we have productive fans.
I might have to download this one myself. Do you have any information on the way the actual weapon stats and whatnot?

This mod looks FANTASTIC! But I have a question, will this replace the actual wookie native sides? or the clones? cuz im not seeing any clones at all
