You could add the ordo xenos as a third branch? Would make sense in many ways.

And here I was waiting for boobies,ehm yes DOWNLOADING NOW!

There are three ordos, thus there must be three factions!

WH and IDH has their own mods (and this is the reason why I put the GK into IDH, and NOT a separate race).

So, Alien Hunters must have their own mod!

Remember, they get their own UI ticks, and the Gene System AND the Orbital Centre (they have a global builder), AND they have different buildings/units/audio!

 

It is clearly a NEW race man.

 

I know we have not much resources, but let's not do something improper.

Nice Loki buddy

 

And yeah we should consider we've got not that much manpower lets try to finish the projects that are nearly done guess we have still enough work to do there

Really a beautiful sight to be hold brother. They actually look like Egyptian Space (Zombie?) Terminators (as they should in the first place). Looking forward the next phase of your project.

As far as Alien Hunters are concerned,they should be by all means a separate race. Not only from a coding prospective but also because,in the fluff,they do operate completely different than the other branches.

I can create addon packs for unification that is purely cosmetic.  Like the Sexy_Necrons with all the new skins and FX, but without the stuff that affects gameplay. Yay or nay?   Would be real quick for me to create this.

 

I also have a question. I am about to create some giant map packs mods. Are vanilla dow maps fully compatible with SS dow maps, and vice versa? Been a long time since I have made anything with maps. So I don't remember how this works.

[Roderick]

DAMN!!!!!

AWESOME!!!!

 

Regrettably... we cannot modify the Vanilla race in Unification

BUT WHAT ABOUT A RACE MOD????

We have Tau Enclaves, we have Blood Angels, we have Thousand Sons, Eldar Craftworlds, why not "Necron Tombs"???

LET'S MAKE IT A RACE.

 

Remember, we can use YOUR mod, and add whatever we want from UA.

 

P.S.: Dammit, I want to finish Wolf Lords, but I CANNOT resist I must see it now! I WANT to have sex ... ahem... FUN with the new Necrons!

 

I tried to design a tentative "Newcrons" using the same style of "all being created from the HQ". I remember that almost everything was fitting one way or another, just ditching some units which are more akin to the way old crons were, and these slots are used now by the new units they are present in the current retcon.

 

I can add the list to see what do you think.

 

Meanwhile I did the task of creating the teamcolours and the symbols of the dynasties. They are used in the monoliths as banners and they look quite good to me, I achieved a light effect.

[Norwegian_Loki]

Until my Corsix went insane, I had started on a simple Necron_Dynasties mod. So far I hope to make my SN, blue and red coexist in the same mod as separate races. Then make red and blue FX for them work as separate FX and not overwrites. Lastly give each Dynasty something unique.

 

The green Necrons will have what SN gave them.

 

red and blue I need to research. I guess I make one of them focus on specialist unit's like the snipers, and the other on new vehicles and super-weapons. I have a big pack of models.

 

Brother Mdcertainty had some Necrons with blue glow I want to add to the blues, and I hope to add your stuff too.

That would be perfect! I love to see what you have! 

 

I also have the Dark Necrons mod. Not sure if I want to use anything from that one, since it is not with any new fx. I need to see what I can find on FX tutorials. 

 

How many glow colours is there?

Red, blue, green and orange?

Edited by Norwegian_Loki, 11 October 2017 - 05:20 PM.

[Roderick]

Well several dynasties still have green as their energy colour:

 

Agdagath, Atun, Nekhtyst, Nephrek, Nihilak, Novokh, Ogdobek and Sautekh (the latter the most powerful among dynasties)

 

Red: Sekemtar (a vassal of Sautekh)

 

Amber/Yellow: Mephrit

 

Orange: Maynarkh and Vralekht (this one is made up by Forge World)

 

Blue: Thokt

 

Cyan: Charnovokh

 

 

I don't know if GW has something in mind for Necrons next year or some years more. What I'm seeing is that it has a tendency to apply differences between subfactions; not only chapters or regiments which are quite known but also Eldar, SoB, AdMech or orks will have the same treatment. I have no idea about Tau, Necron or Dark Eldar.

[Kekoulis]

I believe that the Necrons will have some kind of ''update'' by GW when (and if) they are added to the next expansion of DOW 3. It is hinted that they will be the main adversaries there.But doubt there will be anything concrete.

[Norwegian_Loki]

New Mod.

Dawn of Planets.

One big collection of dow maps. The first in 4 map packs I have in store. It's 448  452 maps in this pack. All textures and all that good stuff included. So hopefully there is no big question marks on any of the maps. I hope. Should there be a problem, please give me a pm. 

 

Download

 

For Roderick. I think I will just focus on green, red and blue for now. Please feel free to share suggestions or ideas to make each faction different. 

 

For Kekoulis. I will just start, and update it once the Necron GW update comes.

 

Edit: Plans for the next pack's:

 

Dawn Of Planets = Dawn of War maps Done!

DOP Frozen Space = Winter Assault maps In progress!

DOP Dark Unforgiven Universe = Dark Crusade maps

DOP Graves for Lost Souls = Soulstorm maps

 

Future Project:

DOP A New Dawn = various new community maps

That is quite aspiring brother(and nice pic you have here). I will test immediately as soon as my broadband connection allows me.

Fair enough.I hope for the best!

[Unsociallobster]

Whoa overwhelming amount of maps! Love it can't wait to see them all! Thanks again!

I doubt gw would hinge a necron release on dow3, probably the inverse is more likely. Remember when Dow came out and you could get bonesingers? Also blood ravens had some interesting facets that relic seel to have forgotten (more than average number of librarians for instance).

I've yet to play dow3, but seems potentially unlikely they will get an expanded as generally it is unpopular. I assume they have moved onto aoe4 as my impression is relic are a small company.

Likely crons will get an update this cycle.

Anyway...maaaaaaps!

[mdcertainty]

Whoho what a huge map-package. Damn

Edited by mdcertainty, 12 October 2017 - 09:31 AM.

Wait wait, I've collected a lot of maps from Filefront, Moddb and other sites already, are these ones completely different or a compilation of those ones?

 

I mean, do we have a list?

 

Damn, the mapmaker community did a lot of maps I have just lost track of how many I have or I can potentially have.

Thanks guys. I am glad you like it.

Well, its all from dow Vanilla. I think 99% of the maps are here (filefront): Download List. A few of the maps had corrupt rar files, so I skipped those. There is none of the moddb in this pack. I will place them in the "A New Dawn" pack when I get to that.

 

In the next pack all the filefront WA maps will be included. If you already have some of these maps, they should be ignored when this mod pack discover the duplicates. Just like when you combine other mods in the module.

I liked crankshaft, that was one of my favourites (after cmp2, naturally).

[Norwegian_Loki]

 

Gambit: Does his infiltration_ext has the proper values? Opacity can be adjusted from there, if the textures have wrong alphas...

Sexy necron mod:Now that my Corsix is back, I can confirm that infiltration_ext has proper values. Is there any other suggestions?

 

Fuggles: I liked crankshaft, that was one of my favourites (after cmp2, naturally). 

Cool. I will test that one.   

 

Edit: By the way, I will update this map pack. Please tell me what maps lack a preview map, and I will find, or make it.

New Dawn of Planets update. I have also updated the original link.

New maps. Bringing the total too 452. There was a few ork themed maps I forgot. Also, all scar code has been added for those maps that came with it. New load screen for many maps. A few new minimaps for the skirmish menu.
