Arc Trooper Mod

[RC #38]

Wow...... I Just Remembered Something xD. I Wouldn't Even Be Able To Use This Mod Cuz I Only Have RC For Xbox! Oh Well, Not Everything Can Be Perfect. :lol:

[RC #38]

Hooper, Remember, We're Talking About An ARC Trooper Mod, Not An RC2 Mod

[Hooper]

what if it starts wit that you are a member in a clone trooper squad and in kamino you become a Arc trooper?

Hooper, Remember, We're Talking About An ARC Trooper Mod, Not An RC2 Mod

EDIT: i know! but we have to make an arc trooper mod out of RC!

Merged double posts. Please use the 'edit' button instead of double posting in future. :) - Astor.

[Hooper]

some1 must design the ARC trooper :D
not make the skin, but design a figure in photo shop... front, side and back... and the same thing on helmet design :D

[RC #38]

Yeah, That Is True.... We Will Need To Design How They Look

[Te Je'karta Mand'alor]

well you modding nerds get to work on that. i'll stick to my other kinds of nerdiness while i patiently wait

[Hooper]

you don't have to be a MODDING nerds... you can find ARC trooper figure make it white and design it in photo shop...
(I can't do that b/c i don't have skills in photo shop or the program :P )

[Te Je'karta Mand'alor]

ah... i wouldn't have known that. i'm clueless about computers

[RC #38]

i'm clueless about computersMe Too :lol:

[Hooper]

so, have any1 started yet? :P

[HockeyGoalie35]

well there is one problem.....if you want an arc trooper, how would we get the shoulder thingy on, i mean porting is illegal so is anyone good at mesh editing?

[Te Je'karta Mand'alor]

Me Too :lol:

clueless about computers club hand shake!
*slaps him* :xp:

[K1lingdr3ad]

Check this out. I could do much better on the colors, and stuff, but if you guys want to request these in any other colors, go ahead.

[RC #38]

Nice Work, Man. Dimal, What Do You Think?

[HockeyGoalie35]

:O

awsome.....

[Commander Dimal]

Hi everyone I'm back from vacation. So what did I miss?

well there is one problem.....if you want an arc trooper, how would we get the shoulder thingy on, i mean porting is illegal so is anyone good at mesh editing?

The shoulder thingy, you mean the pauldron that Arcs wear on their shoulders. Just use the warrior shield thing from multi-player for the Republic, it's the closest thing to a pauldron, just change the color of it to blue or whatever color the arcs will be and also you will need to some how make the helmet rangefinder thing Arcs have on their helmet. Oh and the picture looks great. It's an edited picture of Commander Bly.

[Commander Dimal]

I think I know a way hockey could put in the DC-15S blaster rifle. The clone troopers carry it in RC so you could find the mesh for it and make it a usable weapon by putting it in the mod just like your clone trooper mod. Also when you pick it up make it look like you are actually holding it, not replace it with the blaster attachment and make the ammo capacity around 500 and make it as powerful as the blaster attachment from the game. Also you could do the same thing for the E-5 droid blaster rifle carried by the regular battle droids but make the E-5 more effective against Trandoshans. You could also add in the AT-TE by finding the mesh for it from when you use it on the Prosecutor and make it movable like on Geonosis by finding the animations for it, but make sure you can get in and out of it. You can also make the homing spider droid a fight able enemy by also finding the mesh for it. On Geonosis when you are going to enter the hive place, point your weapon at the homing spider droid and it turns red which means it can be killed and also give it as much health as an SBD or regular spider droid you face. Look at my sig and see the destroyed spider droid in the background, that's a homing spider droid. The game might also have some unused features and object like how UnrealEd was disabled, look around in the RC files and and try to find some thing that might be useful to the mod.

[HockeyGoalie35]

hmm well i think i can do the weapons... techniclly, the atte is a turret and i dont think its movable....


edit: bad news. you can use the 3rd person view to see the dc15 but you cant see it unless i replace the mesh....

so out of any weapon, which is the most obsolete?

[HockeyGoalie35]

like this? not bad huh?


http://www.lucasforums.com/picture.php?albumid=437&pictureid=4162

[Commander Dimal]

Sweet!!! What color should the Arcs be?

[HockeyGoalie35]

I may be able to make each shoulder thingy a differnt color

but I think the colors should be green light blue orange and red

[Commander Dimal]

The main character you play as would be a blue arc. Hockey you could make the person you play as have the clone trooper skin that has blue and give him a blue warrior shield and put a bacta pack on his arm and anti-armor shells on his leg and if it is possible try to make a rangefinder. The squad members could have different weapons, one could have the DC-15S blaster and one of them could be the one in the picture. Also are you able to put in the homing spider droid. Check out these pictures to help you. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:Swi_arctrooper.png

Here is an image of the Westar-M5 blaster rifle the arcs use. Do you think you can make it? http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:ARC_blaster.png

Edit:Why didn't the pictures show up?

[Ulmont]

The main character you play as would be a blue arc.

Actually, the main character should probably be the highest ranking member of his squad. And if the squad is green, blue, orange, and red well.. that's a Sargent, lieutenant, commander (yellow, but orange and yellow are kinda the same), and a captain. Personally, I think that you should expand the squad system to include a five-man squad. (the RC hud actually had room for another squad member)

[Commander Dimal]

Well I imagine the Arc being blue. It seems like the color that suits him best. He could be like Captain Rex, who's a captain but has blue markings.

[RC #38]

Nice....... I Did Notice Something Though With The Pic. The Grenade Counter Has WAY Too Many Grenades. :lol:

[K1lingdr3ad]

like this? not bad huh?


http://www.lucasforums.com/picture.php?albumid=437&pictureid=4162


Quite awesome hockey!

Well done. :D

[HockeyGoalie35]

Nice....... I Did Notice Something Though With The Pic. The Grenade Counter Has WAY Too Many Grenades. :lol:

yea thats part of my supermod lol

but ill work on making it so each member has his own colored shield

is there a way to copy a static mesh? and reinsert it into the game?

(make 5 shields with different colors)

[Commander Dimal]

There would be 1 blue arc, 1 green, and 3 white clone troopers.

[HockeyGoalie35]

ok cool

edit im almost done :D

[HockeyGoalie35]

the only bug so far is that the clonetrooper somtimes freezes but still moves without any animations

[Commander Dimal]

I thought of a name for the blue arc you play as. His name would be Jai and his number is 59. Maybe the green one could have the number 18. Also I figured out how someone could make a Phase II armor clone trooper for RC. You have a clone trooper body and give it a commando head with the rebreather. Is there someway to give the Arcs the rangefinder? They just don't seem like Arcs without it and you could give one of the team member a kama (skirt thing worn by Arcs) and also there is a way to put in extra squad mates. Also how is the homing spider droid coming along? One last thing, we need some levels for the Arcs.

[HockeyGoalie35]

they have range finders you just cant see them in the pic and i havnt started the droid yet but i will soon

[K1lingdr3ad]

Hockey, here's an idea for the mod you're working on. You could have Boss, Flare, Razor, Ven'vul, and then a few plain clones that can die until next level.

[RC #38]

Nice Work, I See You're Moving Along Nicely, Hockey.Not that it matters much but I believe it was hockey asking for the names.Well, It Is Commander Dimal That Decides If He Wants It.

[K1lingdr3ad]

So Kind of like these (For the 2 ARCS):

http://www.lucasforums.com/picture.php?albumid=440&pictureid=4183 http://www.lucasforums.com/picture.php?albumid=440&pictureid=4182

And yes, you can request them in any other colors as well and I will make as well.

Dimal, I posted these earlier on this thread, so you think 59 and 18 would look kinda like this?

[HockeyGoalie35]

yea but how do i get the commando head on?

[Jai'galaar Bralor]

Nice ARC's Hockey! But I think you should at least give the regular clone a white or gray pauldron. He is working with ARC's after all, and he needs something to make him differ from the rest of the white jobs.
And maybe tone down the bright colors on the pauldrons as well, they are already ARC troopers, they don't want to draw too much attention to themselves.;)

[HockeyGoalie35]

k thanks

but what color should the trooper's be?

[Jai'galaar Bralor]

Maybe white with a gray/black Mandalorian emblem on it?

[Commander Dimal]

They look great. Also by rangefinder I meant the antenna thing on the Arcs helmet but the binocular thing is good too but is it possible to put on the antenna thing and move the rangefinder a little higher instead of on their eyes. The reason that regular clones are with the Arcs is because Arcs rarely ever went in groups of Arcs only. The group would be one blue Arc number 59 name Jai and has a blue pauldron, rangefinder bacta pack, and anti-armor pack, one green Arc number 18 name Razor and has a green pauldron, sniper pack, holo-emitter, and blaster pack, three clone troopers one of them green with a green pauldron number 65 name Fierfek, one of them white with an orange pauldron number 87 name Flare, and one of them white with a black pauldron and small (not large) Mando Emblem on chest number 30 name Ven'vul. Give the clone troopers the DC-15 blaster rifle and make it as powerful as the DC-17m blaster attachment and make everyone heal able. Also by colors I don't mean color the whole clone a certain color, just a stripe of that color going down their armor.

[Ulmont]

I hate to prod, but if your giving a clone a mando enblum, why not give 'em a mando name? (Oh, and 'Jai' isn't mando'a. Jaing is, though that's kinda stealing the Null's name. You could of course, use Jai'galaar which is Mando'a for Sheik-Hawk)

[HockeyGoalie35]

well fixer has an anteene so i could change the texture to black and white and give it to all of them! ill get on it now

[Commander Dimal]

Good call hockey I forgot to suggest to use Fixer's antenna as the rangefinder. Also Jai'galaar is the blue Arc's real name but he is called Jai for short and in the game put his name as Jai.

[RC #38]

[Commander Dimal]

Alright then the clone with the Mando symbol will be named Ven'vul.

[HockeyGoalie35]

fixer's antenne doesnt work (doesnt show up) so.......im going to finish up what i was doing and ill post screenies

[Commander Dimal]

Also I thought of things you could put in for multi-player. Put in the Ranger, Recon, Night-Ops, Demolition, Sniper, Boss skin, regular commando skin, and clone trooper skin for the Republic in multi-player. Also make some mod levels and maps for the Arcs instead of just the campaign levels.

[Ulmont]

Does All The Names Have To Be Mando Names? Where's Your Creativity......

I think this picture speaks for itsself. ^_^

[Commander Dimal]

What if there are unused features in the RC game files like UnrealEd, things like weapons the producers never got to put in but left them in the files. Maybe you guys could search the files for stuff like that and use it in the mod. Also remember Jai is 59, Razor is 18, Fierfek is 65, Flare is 87, and Ven'vul is 30.

[RC #38]

Awesome Job, Hockey!!!!!!! I Might Get The PC Version For RC Just For This :D

[HockeyGoalie35]

yea, does anyone know of a good screen capture software? but anyway, here they are with dc-15s

Wow, the DC-15's are nicely done!

[HockeyGoalie35]

thanks what i did was rename the dc17 to dc17m1 and copy the dc15 and renamed the new one to dc17m so it was really a dc15


EDIT: and the reason y my the video's quality was so bad was because my compy was running a full backup at the same time

[Hooper]

uhh... why ain't i in the credits!? :P BTW. can u add the DC-15 blaster rifle in the hood too?

[RC #38]

well it seems that i wont be able to add extra squad members at the time.......

@ RC#38: you cant rush art unless there is a development time. between school, church and about 4 other projects im working on, its gonna be a while.I Wasn't Rushing, I Was Just Asking If You Had Some.

[HockeyGoalie35]

yea that was my whole point and i put it on my site too:

rcsupermod.weebly.com

and im making a new one soon with better quality

[Commander Dimal]

Don't release the mod just yet, there is still a lot more stuff we could add in. I had a theory on how hockey could make a "hudarms" mesh for the DC-15. First get some close up pictures of the DC-15 during campaign using the fly cam cheat and also look for DC-15 pictures on Wookieepedia and study them closely. Then look inside some of the "hudarms" files and get an idea of what the inside of a "hudarms" file looks like. Then open Wordpad and then copy and paste the DC-15 mesh in Wordpad. Then open a "hudarms" file and look at the two of them. Try to change the inside of the DC-15 mesh file copy and make it look like the inside of the "hudarms" mesh file, just it is the DC-15 instead. It sounds genius doesn't. If the DC-15 "hudarms" mesh is successful do the same thing with the E-5 droid blaster rifle in the game.

EDIT:So then when clone troopers and battle droids die in campaign they drop DC-15 blasters and E-5 blasters. Also put them in different places in the campaign so they are just as common as other weapons and put them in the mod maps. Anyone is welcome to try to make the mesh.

[Ulmont]

Well if we do that, they we should probably find a way to make bodies stay for an extended/infinite period of time. Otherwise, we'd have thousands of tiny glowing guns just lying around random places. >_>

Well, I'm not sure how the hudarms meshes work. I think I could probably get it to work though, given time of course.

[HockeyGoalie35]

i looked in the file and its all Ssdghkosdhuygbasofgoasdg (giberish)

[Ulmont]

Ssdghkosdhuygbasofgoasdg (giberish)

Do I get to keep if if I can pronounce that? Ya'know, stuffed and mounted?

...

Did you open it with notepad or UnrealED?

[HockeyGoalie35]

note pad


and the problem isthat the gun and the arms are one mesh

[RC #38]

Well if we do that, they we should probably find a way to make bodies stay for an extended/infinite period of time. Otherwise, we'd have thousands of tiny glowing guns just lying around random places. >_> I Agree. When Games Make Bodies Disappear And There Are Guns Lying Around, It Confuses Me If I've Been There Yet Or Not

[HockeyGoalie35]

YEA speaking of if ive been there or not, have you ever went to the part on Ras where you first find the scavs in the dark and in the window you see troopers dying. did you ever go back the way you came by accedent? it happens to me all the time!

[Ulmont]

did you ever go back the way you came by accedent? it happens to me all the time!

Nope, but if you look at that scene in UnrealEd (The one where the helmet rolls back) The only enemy down their is a scav. Odd huh? Oh, and I'm starting a ranked/expanded droid mod which I'll let you guys use also.

[HockeyGoalie35]

what kind of droids?

[Ulmont]

Well, I'm adding a pristine version of the B1, as well as some OOM series droids (that's the ranked ones. Red - Security, Yellow - Commander, Blue - Pilot, etc), as well as adding a B3 and a Cortosis B2. I'm also adding some of the B1 classes, such as Jungle, Tank Commander, Rocket, etc.


EDIT: I just finished the OOM Series and the Pristine B1. I need to edit some of the levels, and then I'll have some screenies for 'ya. (I'm going to give the Seps the pristine droids, and the trandos the rusted/beat up droids).

EDIT 2: I've started working on the Cortosis droid now, and it's more infuriating that I could have possible immagined. I just can't seem to get the BumpMap right. Still, It looks pretty cool. You might want to add a level where you destroy the Cortosis Droid Factory.

Great! We could add this into the Arc mod.

[Ulmont]

Ok, I just hit a pitfall. When I assign the Cortosis SBD tex to a SPD, the Face and Body plates don't get the new texture. Any idea on how to fix this?

[Commander Dimal]

Maybe you could try skinning them in UnrealEd. Also do you think you will be able to put the homing spider droid mesh in the mod and make it an enemy. Also for the B-3 is it possible to make the SBD's bigger and give them rockets and wrist blasters.

[LordOfTheFish]

Thanks! I actually have the EG for Droids, so I had most of those, but thanks anyways. I just finished replacing the droids on the Core Ship, so it's all Security, Techs, Commanders, and Clean Standars. I'd post pics, but that'd take forever, so I'll just upload the files and you guys can demo it in-game.

This file contain the maps I've edited, plus the clone and battledroid skins, and the texture files. Do 'ya need a tutorial on how to add new character classes in game?
http://www.filefront.com/14423913/Mod.rar

[M@RS]

Thanks. Ok, back to your mod. What exactly are you doing?

[Ulmont]

Well, I basically added Ranked Clones (Sargent, Lt, Captain, Commander) to most levels when appropriate (ex: the geonosis levels), and expanded the amount of clone troopers on the first few levels. I added some custom Clone Commandos to a few levels where you'd expect to see them, as well as adding ranked and clean (that rust was really starting to bug me, especially inside the core ship) version of the Battle Droid.

You can download and preview it for yourself here:

[Commander Dimal]

Also I have an idea for a new squad member for the mod. Hockey could add in a 5th squad member that is a clone commando. He would be named Magnum, his number 11 and the reason he is with the Arcs and clone troopers is because his squad was killed and instead of getting a new squad he joined the Alphas. He would have Night Ops armor, a sniper pack, a comm pack, a bacta pack, and an anti armor pack.

[LordOfTheFish]

^I'm not mad at you guys at all. Yeah, I'm not to fond of being talked to like a n00b but I get it from lots of people in these forums. I just thought the screenie was funny.

But chop chop back to on topic stuff. We don't want Astor to get on us.

prehaps i didnt say it loud enough: IF I ADD A NEW CLASS/SQUAD MEMBER, WHEN I ASIGHN THEM TO BREACH OR DEMO, THE GAME CRASHES(4th time)

[Commander Dimal]

It looks cool but why are the enemies neon colored? Also why do the enemies die so quickly and why do you have way too much ammo? Is the Arc mod a separate mod from the super mod or are they both the same? I'd rather it be a separate mod to avoid confusion.

I have a theory on how to put in new meshs. You could somehow upload images into UnrealEd and turn them into a mesh. These could be used as meshs.

If you can't make an animation for these you could use something similar to it from the game ex.for crab droid use spider droid movement animation, for A-series assassin droid use SBD movement animation.

Also the whole purpose of this thread was an Idea for a New SW Game. We should make a separate thread for the Arc mod while in this one we discuss Ideas for a New SW Game and try to make things like the concept art and storyline for the game idea.

EDIT:I have made a separate thread for the Arc mod called Arc Trooper Mod and it is in Design Schematics. This thread here will now be used as a place to discuss Ideas for a New SW Game and make concept art and a storyline for it.

If you guys need any more skinning changes, I will gladly get them done.

If you guys need any more skinning changes, I will gladly get them done. I can't change static meshes, though.

Merged double posts. Please use the 'edit' button in future - Astor.

[HockeyGoalie35]

i can change static meshes, everything has a texture. right click the mesh and click properties and open the "hidden" and there is a a thing that has the texture's path


and at commander: if thats the case, i need the deafluet properties file

[Hooper]

sorry, i can't follow this tread any more, i lost too many posts while my banishment...
i will be available om Visitor Message and PM if help is needed :D

[Ulmont]

It looks cool but why are the enemies neon colored? Also why do the enemies die so quickly and why do you have way too much ammo? Is the Arc mod a separate mod from the super mod or are they both the same? I'd rather it be a separate mod to avoid confusion.

I have a theory on how to put in new meshs. You could somehow upload images into UnrealEd and turn them into a mesh. These could be used as meshs.

Wait... you can actually do that? I thought you needed an entirely new model instead of a picture...

[Commander Dimal]

What happened to the pictures? They were there this time and now they disappeared.

[HockeyGoalie35]

idk.... but where are we gonna get the meshes? because that wouldnt work!

[Ulmont]

I think I just found a mando that can be put into this mod. I'll get back to you guys on this. Just letting you know.

EDIT: Ok, I found a mando for Unreal Tournament 2004, which (if I remeber correctly) uses the same Unreal engine as SWRC.

http://unrealtournament2004.filefront.com/file/Jango_and_Boba_Fett;38433

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this wouldn't be porting, because that is a mod, and not a standard game resource.

[HockeyGoalie35]

ok cool ill try to get it to work

EDIT: nope its not the right format


i need a mesh in a .psk format

[Ulmont]

Bummer. Hey, I'm trying to add in a new trooper squaddie (the kind that crashes the game). I'm using a different technique though, so I'll tell you how it went.


Edit: Yegh, didn't work. I'll try my plan B then. Will update with results.

Edit 2: ... No luck with Plan B... Plan C now... Will update...

Edit 3: Didn't work. Plan D now... update soon...

[HockeyGoalie35]

ok get back to me! ;)

[Ulmont]

Ok, I'm momentarily abandoning plan D in favor of checking up on weather or not the script, or the Pawn is causing the crash...

Edit: Ok, so the shiney boy was causing the crash. I'm now reverting back to Plan A, but with a different Pawn.

[HockeyGoalie35]

how many plans do you have??? lol

[Ulmont]

At least 11. ^_^ Ok... Plan A WORKED! Wayii! Kandosii!

[HockeyGoalie35]

SO YOU CAN DOOR BREACH?? TELL!!!TELL!!!!:D

[Ulmont]

Yup! :D I have a fully animated, extra squad mate! All you have to do as use a clone trooper instead of a clone commando. Since Clone Troopers can't preform squad commands, there's no crash. You can edit the CT mesh into the RC mesh and you can even have your very own commando follower. Keep in mind that this means no bacta, however he'll still follow you, and you can revive him. ^_^ Also, on levels where you don't have a full squad (Raz Prosocuter/First few geonosis levels) you can use a standard squaddie with squad commands. ^_^ Yayz! :p

[HockeyGoalie35]

but he cant do anything? he cant demo or hack? but he can defend and form up?


edit:this is what i originally did, but since he didnt folow commands, i thought it didnt work....

[Hooper]

can you try to make this for the clone trooper mod too?? how many extra squadies can u have??

[HockeyGoalie35]

as many as you like i think.....

[Hooper]

then i would like to have ca.20 :D that would be COOL!

[HockeyGoalie35]

O_O that would take...forever (and a fps killer/lag creator)

[Hooper]

ok, 10?

[Mandalore The Shadow]

this looks cool if it ever gets done and just to clear things up the sholder thing is called a pauldren and the belt/skirt is called a Kama

[Hooper]

but will it just get some new skins an meches? or do you guys make new levels too??

[HockeyGoalie35]

we are trying te eventully make some new maps too, so this could take some time

[RC #38]

I See The Mod Is Going Well? How Long Do You Figure It Will Take Until It Is Finished?

[HockeyGoalie35]

i really have no idea

[Ulmont]

In my experience (having created my own video-games using the Beyond Virtual game engine), development takes anywhere from three weeks (provided you and an entire team have some ready-made models, and an unlimited amount of time from sun-up to sun-down) to 2 years +. It all depends on the level of work that you put into your game. If you follow the E.A. style, you can do it in one day (pirate some models from turbo-squid, and mush some levels out). Personally, I tend to churn out levels (characters, items, etc.) in about 16 hours (that's total time spent on the level. 16 hours for me generally translates into about 3-6 days).

[RC #38]

I Can't Wait For It :D. If LA Found This On The Internet, It Would Be A 70% Chance They Would Make A Release Day For A Game :D.

[DAWUSS]

What's the storyline for this thing?

[HockeyGoalie35]

basiclly so far, its arc troopers that have similar objectives of the commandos but we're planing on new missions,levels,etc.

[DAWUSS]

basiclly so far, its arc troopers that have similar objectives of the commandos but we're planing on new missions,levels,etc.

So essentially, version 1 is just RC with ARCs instead, and version 2+ will be an all new thing?

Some can be easy to genericize, like the Acclamator Star Destroyer - instead of it being the Prosecutor, it could be the Naboo or Insurmountable...

[Astor]

Just a heads up after noticing the discussion in your social group -

It's doubtful that you'll be able to use the soundtracks from the Star Wars Trilogies in your mod, as that's infringing copyright law. Therefore, any mod released that contains the soundtrack from any copyrighted source would be illegal.

[HockeyGoalie35]

would modifying a song like a remix be illegal?

[Astor]

I'm not 100% on my copyright law, but I think yes, modifying a song would also be illegal.

There's nothing stopping you from adding the soundtrack for your own personal use, but adding it into a mod and then distributing it is definitely illegal.

[DAWUSS]

would modifying a song like a remix be illegal?

I think it depends how how much/far its remixed. Something like a montage may not necessarily pass the test.

Are you sure Astor? 'Cause there's a bunch of mods that use Star Wars Music. To name a few - AEM over at EAW Files, Star Destroyer II Map over at JK Files...

[Astor]

Are you sure Astor? 'Cause there's a bunch of mods that use Star Wars Music. To name a few - AEM over at EAW Files, Star Destroyer II Map over at JK Files...

I'm pretty sure, yes. And if those mods are using the Star Wars soundtrack, then they're infringing the copyright.

Now, I know what you're thinking - LucasFilm/Arts hasn't had those mods removed, so they obviously don't mind. What's more likely is that they don't know they even exist.

I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade here, but I think it's important that you know that the inclusion of the soundtrack is on shaky legal ground at best.

[Jai'galaar Bralor]

What if they use Vode An? Its in RC so it should be legal right?

[Astor]

Of course - it's one of the game's original assets - using the soundtrack from the game itself is fine, as far as I know.

[Ulmont]

You're not "Raining on our Parade." I personally, am really glad that you brought this up, and being a composer I sympathize with the copyright issues. We really should make sure it's legal for us to use the Soundtrack Music/Remixes before we put them in. I'll to some research into this, as I have a neighbor who worked as a head-hunter for ILM. He should know.

probably, we may even add a shield on it ( a small one)

Also if its possible put in a vulture droid. If it is possible to make any of those please tell me.

[Ulmont]

Well, there's a HailFire droid in-game already... but unless we figure out how to export/import models, I'm afraid we won't be able to do those. However, you can rest assured knowing that I will try my hardest to figure out how to do that.

[Commander Dimal]

There's a Hailfire droid in the game! Where is it? Also will someone be able to reskin the DC-15s side arm blaster to look like the commando pistol used by Arcs and make it a new weapon?

[DAWUSS]

Geonosis, I think...

[Commander Dimal]

Where exactly on Geonosis is it?

[M@RS]

Where exactly on Geonosis is it?

If I remember correctly, I think there's two spider droids on Geo... One of them is outside the entrance to the battle droid factory (I think, it may be the entrance to one of the Seperatist Core Ships).

[Ulmont]

The hailfire is a static mesh like the spider droid. Check it out in UnrealEd.

[Hooper]

how is the work going?? have you started working on a BETA of this??

-Hooper

[Commander Dimal]

It's not going very well. If you want to check out what me have so far Hooper, you should join the ARC trooper mod team social group.

EDIT: Oh, I forgot you're already in the group. If you're not much of a modder you can help with ideas like me. We have a lot of cool stuff so far.

[Hooper]

so... i can conclude wit this will be like the storm trooper mod (with never became a mod, only an idea...)

Now I know it's been a couple of months since we've posted even the barest hint of an update but...

Anyhoo, on an update tone:

In case anyone was wondering the mod's not dead yet. We'll be handing over the demo-version of the first comparing level on Christmas. Our gift to the community. Alas, I can't give you all of the details (untill after the demo is release. I don't want to spoil your fun), but I can say that We've made significant progress. You can Expect to see screenshots, Enemys, and a download on Christmas Day, 2009.

So where's that beta you promised us???

[Ulmont]

We apologize for the lateness of the beta, as we are experiencing some difficulty uploading it. You can expect to see it soon. Please keep in mind that this is the beta version, so there are a few bugs.

[N-5/Prudii]

Ok. I'm not at home rght now(on my iPod touch), but I will be home tomorrow, so I hope it's ready by then. Anyways, thanks for the info!

[Ulmont]

No prob. Once again, sorry for the lateness, but it should be up soon. (Hopefully today)
