Title: New models for ground units
Post by: 022981 on June 17, 2014, 02:18:54 PM
Lucasarts open sourced all their models and textures from games such as SW FU, SW BF1,2 and several others. Several SW EAW FOC mods, the most notable being "Battle Front Commander" ported in these textures and models. (http://www.moddb.com/mods/star-wars-battlefront-commander/images/mandalorianseaw-storysnailtank3#imagebox) I found the ground units in that mod to build more immersion than the vanilla ones. Even from the tactical view, the difference is obvious. The vanilla unites just look half done to me.

I am suggesting that the devs apply these textures and models to the ground unites, that would be awesome and ground would compare to your space art :D

Thanks

The ground models are decently detailed, the stormtrooper is pretty good

If you're talking about vanilla, um, the stormie's head looks nothing like the movies. It looks like an elongated deformed soccer ball.

We have no intention to replace our models with models from any other mod or game. If people are looking for free release compilation mods, there's already plenty around. Also, taking a bunch of models from FPS/TPS games is not very good for performance.
