Title: Droids of 2.2
Post by: commander praji on August 28, 2016, 10:00:56 PM
Slornie explained that most the CSI droids were not used by the warlords of any faction but since zinsj is getting the droideka and pentastar have hail fire droids . I was wondering ...and Corey will most likely bitch slap me for me always asking for more units when team Corey is already hard at work. But o was curious if the dwarf spider droid will be added since they served in the stormtrooper corps but as garrisons and check points or ...b1s  any one can feel free to let me have the stick. I know that in Eu yes empire did use several of CSI droids but I know team Corey cant do everything and the use of those droids were pre civil war well except the scoepeneks on byss..

about the only droid units still used were the Droideka's and then rarely in the Corporate Sector. Some of the CSI ships were used by them but the larger droid tanks and such were pretty much banned or so outdated they were never employed

guys, guys...
First of all, about CIS.
I loved their droid designs and SOME of their ships too, but... They don't really have anything to do this far in the timeline. They were pretty much either shut down by the empire or phased out from the army by now if they started using them in the first place. And although Dwarf Spider droids are one of my favorite CIS units, even I don't see a reason why would anyone use them unless... (evil cliffhanger)
But I doubt we would have time for it. Also this is an ICW timeline mod, and it already has waaay too many clone wars era stuff.
(Venators, Munnificent, Lucrehulks, Aclamators[ok, I know the ACL IIs, but still], Droidekas are coming in, Providence too, LAAT/I, AT-TE, A6 Juggernauts[will be different from B5s finally. That was my pushing to finally separate them], TX-130 Saber Tanks, and the aforementioned Hailfire)
So basically lots of CW era stuff.
AND NO, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!! If you don't know than thanks, if you do, please keep it to yourself, don't encourage others. Corey is already facing sooo many stuff. Please don't bother him with that too.
The second subject is:
HEEEECK it would be cool to include them. I love those things. They look funny and dangerous at the same time.
DO IT! JUST... DO IT!

I wish to see the Shadow droid fighters in the mod any chance and if not how could I add them to the Imperial remenant era 3

The remnants already have TIE Droids for Era 3, not to mention that the shadow droids feature abilities that can not be properly represented in EaW, and with the other stuff they would be too OP and nothing could touch them or just an another fighter which the remnants have no need, so I think it shouldn't be implemented. But the final decision is always Corey's, though I doubt he would think otherwise.
If you want to do it yourself then you have to create a model for it with 3DS Max, since that is the only software able to work with .alo if I know right.
After that you have to make a skin for it.
After that you have to program it into the game via XML and some other stuff. It's not easy, believe me.
But good luck if you want to give it a try.

In the coding for the unit which you want to spawn them:
<Starting_Spawned_Units_Tech_0>Squadron_Name, 2</Starting_Spawned_Units_Tech_0>
<Reserve_Spawned_Units_Tech_0>Squadron_Name, -1</Reserve_Spawned_Units_Tech_0>

While I am certain it has been mention how about dark troopers? and a non droid unit shadowtroopers.

Dark Troopers have been brought up, many times. The Arc Hammer (and thereby the Dark Trooper project) was destroyed in 1 ABY. The mod starts in 4 ABY. Shadow Troopers are only Empire Reborn.


I'll also mention to people that if things are not part of the actual topic, I've answered it this time, but please put them in a more appropriate place instead of diluting them. If it warrants a new topic, then make it or search to see if it already exists.
