Modding Question Thread

Why dont you just use a modified version of the Krayt Destroyer's beam gun? I mean Filo's beam version:

Filo's Laser Beams Graphic Mini-mod, Star Wars: Empire at War Downloads, Star Wars: Empire at War FoC Mods

If you look at the special beam for Zann's ship, you'll find that its green.

The rest is simple, just code in a hardpoint that fire the beam.

That's a good idea. I'll have to put it on my list of things to download the next time I get permission to do so. Hate operating off someone else's computer... But yeah, thank you again. You've been a whole lot of help to me and saved me a bunch of time.

Perhaps this question has been answered before and i will seem kinda dorkish but i wasnt able to find it in a quick search so...is there a limit for planets that can be placed on the map? and is there a limit for units that the game can handle , and i mean all the units in the faction rosters.. and if it is...what are those limits for these two ?

I'm not sure if there is a limit for planets or units, but a lot (and I mean a lot) of either can really lag the game down a lot.

I'd like to try to redo some of the death clones in my mod, or at least alter the look of the explosions that accompany them. How would I do this?

no not really there 2 thing that facter in to what you can use

1 - your system

2 - is the games engine

so in other words if you have a nicer unit it will handle more then a lower end unit

you need to have one of the following:

a versions of 3Ds Max 6, 8, or 9
the Alamo2Max importer made by Mike.nl
my tutorial on how to use the plug-in
use the Tutorial made by Codeuser on how to do death clones
the plug-in to export the model back in to Alo format

Here i go again...i forgot to ask if there's a limit number for the heroes that a faction can have in-game... and i mean the ones that have icons in the right upper corner of the screen

I'm not sure if anyone has asked this question yet, but I'm trying to take a unit from one mod, and move it to another mod. I've allready moved the unit textures and models from one mod to the other. Now what? Thanks in advance.

I just realised, that I maybe should have been a tad bit more specific. I'm trying to move the Clone commandos unit from RotC to The clone wars. Both are Foc mods. I know the next step has to do with Xml, but in all honesty I don't know where to look, or what to look for. Can someone explain to me what I need to do and where I could probably find it? thanks
