Well i have an AMAZING idea for a star wars mod, its called STAR WARS THE PREQUEL TRILOGY
As you can guess its a mod about films 1-3
Unfortunately my modding skills slightly surpass basic coding, however im hoping to learn how to model soon.
All the units in this mod i already know what i want and with what powers (stayed up all night thinking ) so heres a quick taster of what to expect if this mod starts

Episode 2 - C.I.S.
UNITS

Basic Ranged Unit - Battle Droids
Elite Ranged Unit - Super Battle Droids
Basic Melee Unit - Geonosions
Elite Melee Unit - ????????

Super Elite Unit (Pawns the battlefield) - Droideka
Level 1 - Toggle Weapon - Toggle between blasters and rocket launchers
Level 3 - Droideka shield - Droideka's cannot be hit by blaster fire (passive)

HERO'S

Jango Fett
Level 1 - Kamino Saberdart (Damages enemy hero, poisons them and roots them in place for a short duration)
Level 2 - Jetpack (Jango flies to a place on the map (like balrogs wings))
Level 5 - Bacta Tanks (Self heal ability)
Level 7 - Bounty Hunter (Gains resorces/credits for killing enemies)
Level 10 - Blaster flurry (like legolas's arrow storm)

Anyway thats a little taster, but i have all heroes and powers and even spellbook powers
And the attachment is my trailer wallpaper-y thing
Please comment and if you wana help me make this mod ill be happt to oblige

Hey ive been following nicks modding tutorials .. specificaly the one where he edits a gondorian man at arms (link : http://www.nicktheme...et/tutorial.htm )
1)My first problem is everytime i try to open renX an error window comes up saying missing 3dsmax plugin ... and so i cant use it .. so load Gmax instead ..
2) and problem number 2....everything is good until he says

Now we have edited our model we need to apply the skin. Press ‘m’

and the applying the skin window is different to his .... and he says press this button which isnt there ? does anyone know if im doing anything wrong or is it an updated Gmax i have or something.

I really wana start making my own models and make a mod !! big dreams lol
Thanks in advance guys !

Hey, we are hoping to make new and exclusive maps for this amazing mod The battle for middle earth 2: The special extended edition. If you have played the mod, you will have noticed strategy and tactics play a bigger part in the game, so maybe we can revolve our maps around this... for example:
One team starts with a great advantage, prebuilt units eg. a minas tirith army and the other has prebuilt defenses, eg. towers surroundin the fortress. ? therefore one team plays the game defensively and the other offensively.

Anyway, this thread is here for your ideas So post away



EDIT: changed head line /naz

Ok i tried to give tom bombadil a buildtime and buildcost, but he doesnt have it in his file(ini\object\goodfaction\generic), so i added

BuildCost = 7500
 BuildTime = 100

And i recieve an error during startup of the game :( does anyone know why ?

Thanks in advance

Ermmm im kinda new to modding, and i would like to know how i can add purchasble levels to the rohan buildings cos i have tried so many times :( Thanks in advance
