Elf Faction 0.9.7 & 2.0A (Both MG Compatible)

[MirceaKitsune]

I see... should try the version in the mod manager then. I'll download it tonight in that case, can't wait And glad if that could be of any help.

Just finished working on the Grey Elf Archer color, if it hasn't been already fixed too. This is the remade texture... his previously blue shirt is now player colored with light blue lines which looks good imo. Ignore this if it's already been done.

[-Archmage-]

No it has not been done.
Since, you're helping I'll send you the download link for version 0.9.2 so you apply those updates yourself.
When you are done, please reupload, but only send the link to me and gAMeboy, as we are the people who work on this mod, and these versions of the mod aren't going to be released until they are completed.

Tonight I plan to take version 0.9.3, and fix the particle projs, and re-upload as 0.9.4. But if you don't finish 0.9.3 by that time, then I'll wait.

[MirceaKitsune]

Thank you I'll apply any changes there and look into anything else that can be improved.

[-Archmage-]

I know a few things that need improvement.

Version to be done

• particle effects
                0.9.4 I'm doing these

• particle proj timing
            0.9.4 I'm doing these

• construction models
          0.9.5+ I probably will do these.

0.9.3: Your texture update, and forge update, the wood guard is already done.

0.9.4: Particle effect updates, and timing updates.

0.9.5: Construction models.

0.9.6: Possible reanimation of a few things.

0.9.7: Don't know, we'll decide when we get there.

the coral was a problem building, but i think i'll stick to the current model, because it represents the elves oness with nature.

i think for .9.7 we'll need sounds and such, i will try to make some after my exams.

and thanks for fixing the texture, do u have the doc which i provided with the download from the mod download center, all my study material is there and u can see why i did what i did.

Ok, gAMeboy, were PMing each other, version 0.9.3 is almost done, and then I will do version 0.9.4.

Also I do not believe that we are really going by that schedule I posted....

[MirceaKitsune]

Yes, I'm working on it too with small contributions. Almost ready with my part in a few minutes, there were many issues in the unit configurations and I fixed them all.

[gameboy]

hey r u guys on MSN?

[-Archmage-]

Of course not, MSN sucks.
No offense, except to MSN.

[gameboy]

and why do u say that?
what abt Live Messenger?

[-Archmage-]

MSN screwed my moms computer up, and she blamed me!
And she used MSN as an email client, boo, she had to wait forever to get to her email, now she uses yahoo mail, and it takes her 2 mins to check her mail. She gets tons of mail.
And the reason she switched is because MSN just stopped working properly.

And she also used to use IE with the MSN homepage, and all that, now she uses firefox, and right when it opens it goes to her mail.

I remember watching those dumb butterfly wings going flap flap flap, like 2 billion times.

Seriously, I might perfer to have to use IE, rather than MSN.

[gameboy]

Dude I'm talking abt MSN messenger, the live chat thingy. we could discuss things there

[-Archmage-]

Don't you have a yahoo mail account.

[MirceaKitsune]

I'd like to highlight two of the main configuration issues I found and fixed, just so everyone can be aware and not do this for their own factions (the rest were mainly bad ordering and such). First, the only building that lightning should be enabled on is the main building (Castle, Mage Tower, in our case Tree Of Life). If too many nearby buildings have light, everything looks too bright after nightfall and projected shadows snap all over the place. Second, each unit must have only one hold_position button configured for the attack_skill attack. A unit auto-attacks with the attack it considers best, and holding position is a single action, as with the official factions. Just mentioned so others who make factions can be careful about these details

[-Archmage-]

No, there is supposed to be a hold position for each attack, so the player can choose which attack he/she wants the unit to use when it gets attacked.

[gameboy]

Yahoo is for losers, Gmail rocks. and Live Messenger is gr8 for chatting.

yeah, that i thought it would be a advantage and shadows don't work for me so... anyway thanks

[MirceaKitsune]

The official units don't have more than one hold_position button... not even sure if that works. The Magic faction's Drake Rider for instance has two attack types (iirc) and only one hold position button. If it's not a priority we can change them back later if I'm wrong, though imo it seems safest to have them like the official factions do since there's probably a reason they don't have more than one.

[-Archmage-]

Well that's magic and tech this is elves, we're trying to be unique here, and not do things the same as magitech.

@gAMeboy: I don't really care about yahoo, or gmail, although I perfer yahoo because I hate google, not because there stuff is bad, because I don't politically agree with them.
Otherwise I think they're awesome. I don't even use yahoo mail anymore. I really don't give a crap about fashion, and all this fancy stuff, what I care about is functionality, and practicality, if it has fancy stuff, well that's nice, but I really don't care that much.

gAMeboy, can I have the .blends?

[jda]

Don't you have a yahoo mail account.

You can import your MSN messenger contacts into Yahoo! Messenger. Just add gameboy's MSN address to your yahoo! buddy-list and you're done.

[-Archmage-]

Jda, we don't have time to instant message.

----------

Ya know.......0.99 is the Galadrim Archer's damned lucky number! It's used three fricken times, I just put it at 0.99 to see how far it was off, and I couldn't believe it 0.99 was absolutely PERFECT!!! It also fit the sound timing number, and it fit the y-axis of the particle origin.

When I release this even look!!!

[-Archmage-]

For some reason when the worker chops wood, his upper-body get small for a faction of a second and then back to normal, I noticed this when I was in slow mode.....

[-Archmage-]

0.9.5 Public BETA released!

Download it here

After I have gotten some feedback I will do 0.9.6.

Enjoy!

You know, you don't really have to make a new version every time you change something unless it's a significant[i/] change.
