Elementals - Version 1.4.1 released!

[-Archmage-]

well i'm not doing alpha beta....v1.3, v1.4  cause it's to tedious and i don't want people to download a version that isn't complete

and i can't say no to that guess.....

[-Archmage-]

time to say thank you

thank you huntermeca and/or huntermeca V2 for doing some great textures
thank you titi, omega, and anyone else, that made the models that i used in elementals

have a good time people new mod coming out soon by me been under production for a couple of weeks

[huntermeca V.2]

Dominion. Good idea!

But what kind of dominion?
An empire of human, hunter of elemental or other. Can you explain?

[-Archmage-]

the Dominion is a powerful race dominating most races:dwarves, elves, other factions of tech, that oppose them, dark mages...and many more,
can the elementals defeat them, and bring freedom back to the world?
find out when you download the Dominion and Elementals mod(eleminion)

hey the game wont let me run this faction because of a problem with the archmage
can you explain why

[-Archmage-]

hmm...
did you delete him?

[doomgamer]

have not tried that yet i figured he was a main part of the start game script

[-Archmage-]

well don't delete him!
he has all the stop, move...icons, and i have most of the units linked to him

[John.d.h]

What I did for my mod was move the icons from the archmage folder into the units folder and then changed the references in all the XMLs from "../archmage/magic_stop.bmp" to "../magic_stop.bmp".  It took a little while to change all the references (not really, since you can just auto-replace) but it made it so I could get rid of the archmage folder completely and not have to worry about it.  The same goes for the icons in the archer folder.

[-Archmage-]

that would take a while but i might work on it

[John.d.h]

Actually it's pretty fast if you use an auto-replace feature like in Notepad (I'm not sure what the Linux equivalent is) where you set it to automatically replace "../archmage/magic" with "../magic" and "../archer/tech" with "../tech".  That *should* fix everything perfectly and should only take a couple minutes to go through all your XMLs.

[-Archmage-]

well i use kedit can you tell me how to do that with kedit

[hailstone]

There should be find and replace feature in an edit menu or similar.

[-Archmage-]

well it would be a lot of work besides i have a website going here to
maybe someone could do it for me

cause i'm already working on my own graphic enhancer package, Rebellion faction, my website, all my mods need some work
i have a bit on my hands

[MadElf]

Do you want your mods to be really cool and popular?
So, work on 1 mod and best as you can, dont make loads.
And make new models!

[-Archmage-]

i don't really want my mods to be cool
it's just that i can't export to G3d,can't animate or texture, so-so at re-texturing, i can't make new icon's very well, but i can edit and icon in some cases
i'm fine at XML i have a tiny skill in html
you know i might be able to learn a lot more about modeling if i had the time
you can blame my stupid school, they load me with homework all the time

ok i'll stop babbling on about myself here and get back to business
i finished the graphics enhance package- for magitech
it will be downloadable at my site in a few minutes

Well, you want them to be GOOD, right?

it's just that i can't export to G3d,can't animate or texture, so-so at re-texturing, i can't make new icon's very well, but i can edit and icon in some cases

*GULP*

i'm fine at XML i have a tiny skill in html

Well, by 'little', do you mean you know the synastix (same as XML)?[/quote]

you can blame my stupid school, they load me with homework all the time

Awe come on... Don't you think that's a LITTLE harsh. I mean, how arer you gonna learn other stuff without school?

i finished the graphics enhance package- for magitech
it will be downloadable at my site in a few minutes

Now to make a point to my post, I can't help but think that you could do to put a little more time and effort before even releasing an alpha. Like go learn how to make a model and make the mod after that. No offense, but re textured just doesn't cut it these days...

I agree.  Most of the mods here are finished or nearly so before they get released, and I think that's how people like it.  I've got a substantial amount of modeling done on my mod and I don't plan on releasing it for quite a while, unless somebody asks me to.

Well, by 'little', do you mean you know the synastix (same as XML)?

You mean syntax?

[-Archmage-]

well what's done is done
i don't think i mentioned it but my Blender doesn't work
i can't open or save anything

[MadElf]

Download another version, my Blander is 2.3, because the newest didn't accept some .NIF and .G3D importers/exporters.

[-Archmage-]

ok thx
i will work on that soon

[Omega]

You mean syntax?

Thank god, my spellchecker wasn't helping, and I was (stupidly) clueless!

*An alpha release should have all the XMLs done, and (in my opinion) at least half the models
*Beta should have all the models
*Final should have models, sound, XMLs, and any extras added in

[-Archmage-]

in your opinion
 well let's do what modman is doing with his dark magic faction, let balance, remodel and maybe do new sound
i  can find pretty good sounds on the internet, but if someone can record some sounds specifically for my faction then i'd be very greatful
i could use a lot of help with modeling i will try to do buildings since i can't animate, i'm going to try exporting to g3d stuff and see if i can get my blender back  up again.

any help you can give will be great
cause i'm working on a new faction and i want to have new models in this one
so i'll be busy with that and this

[-Archmage-]

did i mention version 1.4 is out now, some better balance
i'm still working on balance though

[-Archmage-]

latest news about this mod:

i think i might take it down for a while and try to work on modeling
but i would need some help

i have downloaded blender 2.48a to replace the none working one
to "madelf" :the reason i downloaded 2.48a is because i can't find a download for 2.3 if you find one please let me know

i'm going to do a bit of work on this mod in the future for right now i'm going to work on learning blender
i can do buildings(only basic), i don't know how to animate so i'm going to post my models, ask someone to animate them for me, and i really could use some help with texturing models
exporting to g3d is going to be a focus for me right now, and then advanced modeling and then texturing, and then animation(plans are bound to change)

any help you want to give would be great!
