I notice it missing tug.It would be nice feature add on and cerberis need be recolor on skin.Its kind of darker and hard to see texture skin lol.That would be cool if you add brighter color on cerberis.

They truely dont seem like races that would need a tug...

I believe there are plenty of modelers that would take on the challenge though. *sounds the modder's gathering horn* :P

What could they be used for anyway?
Title: Re: Anyone wanna make a cerberi and hadean tug
Post by: VSMIT on April 21, 2009, 03:06:00 AM
Nothing.  And I don't think that we should mess with any of the FE assets, since nobody willing to do it was part of the original dev team.

what else? tugging.

If you really want it done, do it yourself.  There's free modeling programs out there, you just have to find them.

I could do it but the textures are beyond me.

Lol... why do we always get asked these things.

I remember a few saying 'hey why dont the hadeans have an armoury?' because they wernt meant too! it makes them unique. The Cerberi having a tug just wouldn't be there style anywhoo, seeing as they are a ravenous bunch of animals. Essentially...
Title: Re: Anyone wanna make a cerberi and hadean tug
Post by: Clavin12 on April 21, 2009, 01:34:18 PM
the hadeans do have an armoury
Title: Re: Anyone wanna make a cerberi and hadean tug
Post by: TheJamsh on April 21, 2009, 01:43:54 PM
Ah yeh... sorry what i meant what 'why dont the hadeans have terminals on their recycler and factory to customize units'

I dont understand what you could use the new vehicles for? They couldn't work with FE without a dive into the modding side of things and changing FE is out of the question.

Saying that... i did 'make' a bomber for them which a couple of people planning on using in a recycler variant i believe... That would be ok.
Title: Re: Anyone wanna make a cerberi and hadean tug
Post by: Nielk1 on April 21, 2009, 03:52:31 PM
Yeah, but I personally don't like it when you re-skin a model and call it something new.
Title: Re: Anyone wanna make a cerberi and hadean tug
Post by: Clavin12 on April 21, 2009, 03:55:32 PM
Yeah that makes things seem cheap
Title: Re: Anyone wanna make a cerberi and hadean tug
Post by: AHadley on April 21, 2009, 05:00:49 PM
If it makes it better than the original model, it is debatable. I don't think the scions are much of a bombing race anyway.

I notice Jamsh seems to refer to me indirectly now, any particular reason? :lol:

Playing STCTF with Hadeans and Cerberi would make tugs useful. I could do with some, and I think I may need to learn modelling to do it.
Title: Re: Anyone wanna make a cerberi and hadean tug
Post by: TheJamsh on April 21, 2009, 07:07:39 PM
Well it definately didnt suit the scions... scions? bombers? whats this! thats so not their style...

Hadeans have a liking of annihaliation, so the idea of a bomber suited them. I didnt even re-skin it properly, just changed the name of the texture used to he one hat look the least messed up XD, back in the day.

The Indirect referring is just because i couldnt be bothered to type Ahadley & Red Devil lol. I believe RD was going to put it in a recycler variant for his PB4a FE conversion. Not entirely sure if hes still doing that.

Im all in favour of new units, so long as the original items are still available as they used to be and arnt modified/replaced. Gotta love Recycler variants.

You could always wait for EPIC mod, i know Slaor has expanded the Cerberi, Hadean, EDF & Scion in there. You'll have a nightmate trying to catch him though, hes raising scionlets on mire at the moment...

Post by: Clavin12 on April 21, 2009, 07:10:27 PM
i think a tug would suit the Hadeans more so than the cerberi. You know their a bit more civilised.
Title: Re: Anyone wanna make a cerberi and hadean tug
Post by: TheJamsh on April 21, 2009, 07:13:12 PM
Definately. cerberi just dont work like that... not 'conscious' beings as such, they would all sit and wonder what the thing does. probably say something like this.

"!$)!$JF!)£R(M!£(V)!£($MV!($" OR in Human Speak: "What? No Guns! No Lasers! No Exterminations! Error!"

ALTHOUGH...
You could argue that the drone carrier could be re-vamped into some sort of single unit carrying vehicle... If only i could find how to position the tugged object, you could get the drone carrier to carry it 'underneath' its body.

Post by: Clavin12 on April 21, 2009, 07:18:26 PM
imagine a tug that could equip nothing but blink
Title: Re: Anyone wanna make a cerberi and hadean tug
Post by: AHadley on April 21, 2009, 07:38:51 PM
Slaor has been raising Scionlets for a very long time, but I've dropped him a line at BZ2MD and will probably do so at MAD if he doesn't reply in a couple of weeks.
Title: Re: Anyone wanna make a cerberi and hadean tug
Post by: TheJamsh on April 21, 2009, 07:50:17 PM
hes helping with MAD? didnt know that!

Post by: Nielk1 on April 21, 2009, 08:02:11 PM
True, if EPIC has a Cerberi tug and Hadean tug, not much point in us making another. Though technically it would be a Cerberi EVOLVED tug, so we could use a simpler version.
Title: Re: Anyone wanna make a cerberi and hadean tug
Post by: BNG Da BZ Fool on April 21, 2009, 08:18:33 PM
Actually, the Cerberi's could use a tug if for nothing more then dragging around that virtually useless thingy called a Gorgon? I'll help you build a tug if it can be done without animation; still trying to figure that one.
Title: Re: Anyone wanna make a cerberi and hadean tug
Post by: AHadley on April 21, 2009, 08:23:03 PM
The Gorgon does seem a bit pointless to me... why three assault tanks?

And I think the Wraith works so much better as a light tank.
Title: Re: Anyone wanna make a cerberi and hadean tug
Post by: BNG Da BZ Fool on April 21, 2009, 08:41:02 PM
The whole Cerberi fleet could use an upgrade. I think they were designed to be more of an annoyance threat then an actual fighting force. Still, they're quite a unique bunch of slime slingers. I say we build them a tug. What say ye C12? I'm up to the task. While were at it upgrading the Gorgon, and a few other select units as well. The turret needs better missiles too. Um...what other units need to be tweaked?
Title: Re: Anyone wanna make a cerberi and hadean tug
Post by: TheJamsh on April 21, 2009, 08:41:19 PM
The Gorgon is large and heavy and the big words that spell "Death" on the registration plates really finish it off for me :P

Maybe its a kind of penis envy thing? Maybe this post will soon be edited :P

EPIC has some LOVELY new cerberi models. the textures on the new drone carrier are lovely...
Title: Re: Anyone wanna make a cerberi and hadean tug
Post by: AHadley on April 21, 2009, 08:53:55 PM
The wraith. Its transparency annoys me.

More powerful missiles.

No.. Units which are picked up by tugs cant rotate their turrets.

Because it was impossible to have more than the two weapon.odf in 1.2. The terminals are not there because they could not show a list of Hadean units or weapons.

ahhhh... youre probably right.

i still LOVED it!

BBB... that would explain why trying to use a Tug-Rocket Tank assault on my brothers base over a lan resulted in a large scrap field.
Title: Re: Anyone wanna make a cerberi and hadean tug

Yeah... lol.

It used to work in 1.2. Guess it was kinda cheating.

shhh... dont want more 1.2 players finding out more exploits are squashed!
Title: Re: Anyone wanna make a cerberi and hadean tug
Post by: bigbadbogie on April 22, 2009, 10:46:34 PM
They already know that all their exploits are gone.

God damnit I wish that the 1.2 developers could have squashed them first!
