Empires: Altered Universe has been released

It support gibs, like in smod.. But I think it would require modelling if you want only the head to explode.

 

Very little:
Get Playermodel.
Cut polies above this line.
Fix the hole with red.
???
Profit

 

Give me the source code of Empires and a coder who's capable to that with a modeler and I'll add it.

Oh yeah, you can't get any of those, no adding then.

 

Ok played a bit with it today alone.

One thing that stands out was the fact that both 3xmissiles and
both 3xguns are in the same techtree

as far as i remember both cannons in electric and both missiles in physics.

I dont think thats good because it forces you for example to stick with
physics if you want 3slot rockets for your heavys. That lends to specific
researchs from start.

Second thing is that i dont think that "modified heavys" are a good opiton
at least with the same model that "for be" has still 2 cannons...

but overall could be fun to play with

 

Small update has been done:

Edit:

If you want to go straight for heavies, sure go for it and get those 3 slot cannons but currently I don't see that as issue because in my opinion electrical, bio and physics needed a bit buffing and also those weapons fit well in those trees. ALSO electrical has only one cannon, now it has 3 cannons.

And the modified heavies are in my opinion the best choice I made, it neutralizes BE's dual railgun shitting. Now they can't own NF with those dual railguns anymore because NF can get those too for their heavies and throw the same shit on BE.

Also I didn't want to make it so that NF has only advantage with missiles then, so I gave BE the same option too.

And about the model thing...

DO YOU FUCKING KNOW WHO CAN MODEL FOR ME AND ALSO FUCKING SKIN THEIR SHIT? NO? THEN DON'T FUCKING ASK FOR THAT SHTI! READ THE FUCKING RESEARCH TEXT AND VEHICLE DESCRIPTIONS INSTEAD AND SHUT THE FUCK UP!

I'm so fucking tire how everyone wants this and this and this and add this shit in your mod yet no one ever says, I have done this, I have done that, I can do this, I can do that, I'll work for your mod. I will tell people to shut the fuck up anything related to coding and modeling until they get at least a modeler for me who can also skin.

And yes I'm fucking pissed of and angry now. If you were just real person right here you wouldn't recognize yourself anymore when you looked at a mirror even you had washed all the blood from your face off.

You know what you should do ? Get an dev team, that way you can take it easy.

BTW, still installing but i can tell already that its gonna pwn.

 

Get a dev. team?

Don't try to make jokes while I'm like this.

I have been asking around for sure, I have asked a lot. Yet everyone have said, not interested or sure I'll do it and never do it.

And I'm going to army on Monday so I'm not going to use my time for that shit any longer. I'll enjoy these last days.

 

Wow! This mod is pretty cool. Its too bad your leaving for the army. I know I speak for everyone when I say we'll miss you.

 

Good old Simon, never changes.

 

I said its irritating I didnt said you should do new models...
I know that you have no modeler for it.

 

There is no word which means "irritating."

 

confusing

 

Wanted to wait for everyone to finish appraising this mod so I could increase the reviews longevity.

Now, basicly the easiest way to put this mod is "Wacky Fun". I know that might not sound appealing. But trust me that's a good thing, it's not wacky in a bad way it's wacky as in... Just the range of unique weapons and features. You got tank flipping missiles, giant 200mm arty cannons, weapon changes.

I stopped playing Empires mostly because I got tired of the same fights and the same outcomes over and over. This mixes it up by making Infantry and Vehicular combat has been freshened up a tad. everything has pretty much received a revamp, the tech tree is completely different and the music is... Well Awesome.

 

nuff said !

MAD and JCW are both hosting AU servers for some serious playtesting.

i'll be taking over for weedy while hes off in the army, and attempting to get some real balance into it. The equality in the tanks has taken a big step towards that. And if you got tired of always seeing the same nuke NF heavy vs the 2x rail be hvy fights, then you might want to see what this mod is about.
