I haven't figured out why changing the space model from:
EV_StarDestroyer_Thrawn.alo
to
EV_StarDestroyer.alo
isn't working. I checked and that's the name of the REGULAR model I was going to use. Am I missing something? If so, enlighten me quickly so I can be that much closer to learning the code. :p



Don't worry. I figured it out. Since Thrawn's SD data is listed as a Variant_Of_Existing_Type, I didn't have to change the model. All I had to do was delete the model entry so the game would focus on Star Destroyer model data. I also had to delete the thrawn hardpoints otherwise his new ship looked like it wasn't finished being painted. I also managed to give General Veers his own Star Destroyer, though I'm not done working out the double icon issue yet.


Here's the code if anyone wants a fully functional Thrawn in a regular Star Destroyer. Also his combat bonuses aren't tweaked for the normal FoC. They're tweaked for my mod.

I'm just mostly putting more basic stuff, everything else is just standard. The flashlight stuff is just a given. Welcome to the RPG Frontier, by the way :p

Thanks. Seriously though, every sniper needs an iPod. I tend to shoot people to girly music though :p

Here's the current weapon set ideas:
Assault: Assault rifle or SPAZ-12 automatic shotgun, .45 Magnum pistol, and frag grenades.
Recon: Silenced P90, silenced P9 pistol, and smoke grenades.
Stealth: Silenced 20k Launcher (from Splinter Cell) with Sticky Shockers and Sticky Cameras, silenced Desert Eagle, and flashbang grenades.


Here's my suggestion:(added to originals)
Assassin/Sniper: Sniper Rifles: M21, M24, SVD, R700, M40, Alex, Barret. Side Arms: USP.45 silenced. Extras: Smoke grenades, or Claymores. All traditional Spec Ops equipment: Knives, NVGs, Flashlight, iPod comes standard of course.

#@*$in'em up from a mile feet away :)

...FoC? Is that a game?
And the second isn't optional. Trust me :)

Yeah the expansion for Star Wars Empire at War. It's kept my Star Wars spirit going strong.

Thanks! Oh and it's Forces of Corruption.
Uh... muffin? Probably a stale one so they'd throw me out and I'd be free to roam the Earth.
I'll check out the links too.
