Welcome back!

Yes the original TS forums are gone but this one aims to pick it up in a major way.

A lot of developments have happened in the last month especially a full build/tech tree + Advanced AI.

Essentially what we got ingame is:

- 5 Buildings
- 5 Units
- A logical build/tech tree
- Some voices for units present
- UI and Center drop down button is done
- Music soundtrack is done
- Icons and UCS is to be done. UCS won't take long and I'll place some decent temp build icons ingame to give a pro finish to the project.

What has to be done:

Obviously 3d workflow is 85% of a DoW modding project so additional modellers, texturers, and such are always welcome for part-time help. We have concepts and now with a far better build/tech tree the TS project looks much more solid than ever.

From 1 week as of this writing, we'll have a very solid first beta build so balancing can commence. The TS AI is absolutely brutal but can only be as good as the faction it is scripted for -- TS is still quite weak when compared to the SM so we got some buffing to do.

Thanks Tzeentch followers.. more to come!

[IGdood]

Woohoo! Tzeentch brought some change.

By the way, how do the units in the mod play? Super tough but slow moving?

[thudo]

Slow moving but in current build they get owned badly in Tier2 by SM. Balance Police don't like us for that. So we have to plez Tzeentch a little harder.

Anyway DoW Mod making is all about 3d and eye-candy.. making things move slow or powerful is a few mins job. I am only concerned about 3d workflow which is over 85% of the total labour.

Btw, IGd00d, glad to see yer about.

It's really good to see this isn't over, good show, let me know if there's anything I can do. Also Finishing the animations on the CoW if you lads want it you can have it. I haven't done any textures on it but it's unwrapped. I'm looking forward to seeing some stuff I wasn't on the other forums so I didn't get a chance to see some of the units. Anyway just wanted to drop by, keep it up you heretical goons LOL.

[thudo]

@Wereturip - thats VERY generous for your offer. I would like to take you up on that soon but realize you are real busy with Brother in Arms (a super-highly anticipated multi-Imperial mod) so don't want to absorb you too much. If you want, you can join the team and we can discuss. Again, want to ensure you don't have a lot of work as you have duties elsewhere.

Same here, I'm also "guardsman lover" on relicnews XD

[thudo]

cool man.. yeah we're moving towards our first internal beta ever. I am finishing all icons, ChaosReigns is doing the advanced UCS, and UnD still working on coding. Both Prom and DeathBunny working on Ahriman and LoC. So standby.. we're.. moving..

[IGdood]

This is really good news. Wasn't some of the voice acting supposed to be done by the person who did Count Dooku's voice for the animated Star Wars?

[thudo]

Something like that.

[chaoslordx13]

ok, so is this the same mod that ive been following since 2004? if so...
WOOT your still alive and cant wait till its done!

[thudo]

Yes ChaosLord.. exact same as was back in '04.

[Blasphear]

hey Tsons team, It's great to hear from you again. I was a member of the original forum (have been for years!) and when I came back from holiday... Your old forum was gone and I felt like going EMO BUT I didnt and I found you and the world isn't going to end and I wont need to sell my soul to Slaneesh *takes a breath* So hey, Im Blasphear.

[thudo]

Nice hearing from ya Blasphear..

[Hopit]

NO!!!! I cant get to relic forums!!!!

[IGdood]

I believe relic forums is down right now.

[thudo]

Relicforums withdrawal so soon? Shhesshh.. Community can be productive without em for a good length of time, brothas! All the REAL WORK happens off-site anyway.

[IGdood]

Hey Thud. Were you able to interface with any of the WH_AS team? It's truly dead and gone now, is it?

[thudo]

I cannot interface to those whom do not speak. KRMZ just sits in MSN for months on end and never talks. Last I looked, we all can't read minds.

[IGdood]

So..he remains signed in on MSN for months? Wow...

[thudo]

Yeah.. doesn't respond to anyone.. not sure what KRMZ is up to all of '08 really.. So sad he doesn't talk..
