Inspiration...(mod related)
Subject description: mod development everyones ideas welcome.
So, after losing everything probably... I decided I need to start again, again.
I want to finish something atleast before I leave this place.
So, I need some inspiration for a mod for Generals. Yeah I know, when all hope fails go 3d. Atleast I should learn something, I played it this morning, it looks good enough.
What kinda mod would you like to see, what hasn't been done yet? Perhaps another cartoon style mod like Dafool's one?
So anything you have on your mind, anything at all, let me know. Last edited by L()KI on Sat Nov 07, 2009 4:13 pm; edited 1 time in total QUICK_EDIT
What was your Mod before hand, Why not just start over with it. More than likely it's gonna turn out much better this time around. I know mine is turning out way better than the first time. I say go for it! QUICK_EDIT
I'm interested in something new, but I need to talk to DaFool to understand all the limits behind it. PM me if you're interested. (ZH related) QUICK_EDIT
do something simple. draw from older games...8bit and stuff. but stay away from C&C. like maybe a pong RTS idk. _________________ Delirium.. QUICK_EDIT
just make small new unit mod and fun with it. sometime i want to do that kind of mod either when i feel bore.
*ps* interesting to make ROS in Ra3? but i don't know to make model for that gme or coding it before but i want to do it if someone can teach me for that. QUICK_EDIT

RA3 is way harder then Generals, as it uses different coding (no ini, only bloody XML). Anyways, good to hear someone else who is interested in modding 3D C&C QUICK_EDIT

Ah cool to see people are interested. I don't have Zero Hour yet, but hey gota work with what I have.
I played through the GLA campaign yesterday, seems like the engine is pretty good. It brought out the militant in me lol, AK47s for everyone.
Anyways, I was maybe thinking of doing something slightly cartoony, like borderlands. Plus I only have Anima8tor and the other free stuff to work with. I don't want to do anything too small either, i'll lose interest quick. Hmmm takes time to think of something original hey?.
Thanks for the input, i'll check my pm's, more ideas welcome.
Oh and I don't think I want to do any more remakes or even restart my old mod. I might continue my old one if I can recover the dam thing. Had enough of Cnc stuff for one life time hehe. QUICK_EDIT
The hell is the tank in the second pic supposed to be?
That last pic is obviously some funky looking railway cannon. But it looks so much like...a mecha! O_O _________________ The future belongs to The Forgotten!
OK here is a MSN brainstorming session for the mod, excuse vulgar-ness and some stupidness.
This probably will be the direction the mod will go.
Enjoy

How about a mothership style mod?
Josh- start killing.... says:

Thilaksha says:

Josh- start killing.... says:
and KILL EVERYTHING?
Thilaksha says:
and then you build you shtuff from it...lol yea
Josh- start killing.... says:
you could do cooky 1950s stlye
with big chrome-y spinning UFOs vs slightly cartoony 1950s armies
Thilaksha says:
Yea I was thinking of that too
but nah
A floating base
Oh I wanted to ask
Josh- start killing.... says:
?
Thilaksha says:
Can you edit the zoom levels in Generals
I need it to zoom far out
Josh- start killing.... says:
yes I think you can
idk how but you CAN
Thilaksha says:
good
very good buahahaha
plasma cannons for everyone
Josh- start killing.... says:
hmm
I'd do crazy aliens
with big heads and little bodies and rayguns
Thilaksha says:
lol
Josh- start killing.... says:
and UFOs and tractor beams
and then kinda an army side with tanks and square-jawed soldiers with rifles and stuff
then hightech stuff like prototype lasers
Thilaksha says:
lol
that might be pushing it
Maybe
hmm
Josh- start killing.... says:
well you know, a tank
with a big dish on it
that goes bzzzap
Thilaksha says:
I was thinking of changing earths geography

Thilaksha says:
Don't know like the continents that have drifted in a different way
or sum shite like that
Wierd wars and then some
Josh- start killing.... says:
eh, ok
Thilaksha says:
I don't know man
but what do you think of the mothership thing?
Josh- start killing.... says:

Josh- start killing.... says:
Thilaksha says:
Oh yea can you make harvesting like in RA or tib?
Josh- start killing.... says:
in gens? yeah but its a tad laggy
Thilaksha says:
Dam lag
Josh- start killing.... says:
each little patch (what would have been 3 or 4 cells) has to be a small supply crate object
Thilaksha says:
Dam
ok wait what if you make that object really huge, and little bits of it is harvested at a time?
eh eh?
will that work?
Josh- start killing.... says:
hmm
you couyld make it quite big
but the harv would always go to the middle
tbh it isnt TOO bad if you keep the amounts reasonable
Thilaksha says:
ah
dam lets see about that later
What should resource be?
call Gew
or Poo
or Jew Jew
or Ju ju
mik mik

Josh- The day we elect the BNP is the day I don a Guy fawkes mask and start killing.... says:

just remember either make it really serious or really crazy
Thilaksha says:
or both
Josh- start killing.... says:
so you could call it ubertanium and make it PURPLE CRYSTALS
or call it boringium and make it look like ore
Thilaksha says:
It will be full of sex drugs and rock'n roll thats for sure and trance
Josh- start killing.... says:
lol
aliens want earth because oxygen is their cocaine
Thilaksha says:
lol yea or their cocaine is humans themselves
they eat people
Josh- start killing.... says:
hmm
Thilaksha says:
or sniff them
Josh- start killing.... says:
brains
gotta goascliche as possible
brains and spines
Thilaksha says:
lol yea
I feel that inspiration
Josh- start killing.... says:
don't tiptoe carefully around the landmine that is cliche but rather jump up and down on it in the hope it's actuakky filled with beer and hookers
Thilaksha says:
lol
or eat it, if your alien
Josh- start killing.... says:
yeah
Thilaksha says:
How many sides should I have
Josh- start killing.... says:
hmm
you need a minimum of 2
Hoominz and alienz
although a few generic sets of humans mght work
amerycanz, rooshans and chinkehz
Thilaksha says:
chikens? space chicken?
no no I don't want that much toonishness
4 sides
or 5
is that possible
Thilaksha says:
lol
5 sides would that be possible?
or 4

Josh- start killing.... says:
hmm
gens han do about 16

Thilaksha says:
ooh

Humans
Half humans
Aliens
void monsters
Josh- start killing.... says:
half humans?
wtf?
Thilaksha says:
lol
Josh- start killing.... says:
What?
Thilaksha says:
wait man I'm doing the list
Josh- start killing.... says:
VOID
MONSTERS
WHAT THE HELL?
Thilaksha says:
and the Miko Nation
Josh- start killing.... says:
Miko?
Thilaksha says:
Sounds metalic
so they are like pure robots
Josh- start killing.... says:
so basically you're going to have a few scifi 50s cliche baddies
Thilaksha says:
no
Josh- start killing.... says:
and a few scifi cliche 50s goodies?
Thilaksha says:
they are very futuristic
Josh- start killing.... says:
awww
Thilaksha says:
everyone is futuristic
Josh- start killing.... says:
yeah, but do them all like people though they would in the 50s
Thilaksha says:
Half humans change to Zone Raiders
Josh- start killing.... says:
because retrofuture is awesome
Thilaksha says:
or Zoners
Josh- start killing.... says:
zone raiders=gay C&C3 unit
Thilaksha says:
It will have a little bit of retro
ztype that
cll emZoners
and Void monsters change to Void Beasts
Josh- start killing.... says:
ok
so what is the concept behind this mod?
is it going to be crazy 50s scifi or another generic evil aliens want to kill world thing?
Thilaksha says:
everyone get's into shit except for the humans at first... the other races were fighting each other earlier right. So a super gay alien race warped all their motherships into earths solar system coz they were pissed off
Josh- start killing.... says:
lol
so robots versus weirdy monsters vs bighead deathrayanalprobestyle aliens
vs hoominz
Thilaksha says:
yeah
Josh- start killing.... says:
k
Thilaksha says:
then the gay aliens arrive also
then we have a massive free for all
Josh- start killing.... says:
gay aliens 0.o
Thilaksha says:
well they kinda gay
Josh- start killing.... says:
one gender only?
Thilaksha says:
they think they're ways are the right ones, because they made peace with themselves others must be peacefull or die
or piss off
yealol
Josh- start killing.... says:
ok
what style you going for? cartoony? Serious?
Thilaksha says:
in the middle like borderlands
im going to post this conversation on ppm
Josh- start killing.... says:
hmm
dont
Thilaksha says:
why?
Josh- start killing.... says:
#1 ppm is full of (erased)
#2 needs a little more work
Thilaksha says:

WTF! I thought I have seen it all, but a train track leaf blower?with a mig jet engine to boot. Thats some Tim Allen "tool time" type shit right there, ArrrArrrArrArrrrrgh. QUICK_EDIT
Wow. Notice a lot of the uber designs and technologies are mostly made in WW1 and WW2. We don't have such ideas these days (unless you watch a lot of sci-fi films and mecha animes)...
About this tank:
The design reminds me of the Wave-Force Arty. _________________ The future belongs to The Forgotten!
