WLd Mod

First mod; be kind :P

Published on April 18, 2008 By Lost_WLd In Sins Modding

This is a maligned graphic mod I've been working on over the past year or so. I've rebuilt it quite a few times and am doing so again for the Entrenchment Expansion. I hope to actually finish it this time around.

I'm currently working on the TEC effects. Unfortunately this modding thing is still new to me, so its taking me a little while to turn out new particle effects.

Thanks to Annatar for answering my mod questions.

Click 2x to get to the HD version on youtube and excuse my poor video capturing skills.

Feedback is appreciated.

heh, I'm adjusting all siege cycles up to 20 seconds in the WLd2 mod to save some hassle. Plus I like big boom. You can't do big boom in under 10 seconds.

I can't quite figure out how to get this youtube video embedded in the forum, so you guys will have to deal with a link.

P.S. Youtube link also added to original post.

that was an awesome video!

one thing, on the marza dreadnought, could you change the firing sequence delay to 1 second more, because in the video, as soon as the first blast would dissipate, the next one would launch. It would be better if there was a second to let the effect sink into the user.

Awesome effects. The only thing I'd change would be to make the explosion from the Desolator's laser different.

Looking good. Exactly what files are playing with? Particle files or what?

Ha! You should've seen when I had it cranked to 160 bursts.

I'll look at it again though.

I would like to but I don't quite know how to make my own explosions and stuff yet. :/
I'll try some other graphics and see if they work.

Just entity files. I lack the know how to edit anything else right now.

I watched the video (Awesome mod btw) and those siege weapons were awesome. Only thing I thought looked odd was after the Revelation's blast hits the planet, the burst ring was perpendicular to the planet, instead of parallel. Maybe it was the camera angle, but thats what it looked like.

Hi guys. I'm posting another video.

This time it's of the standard sieging for each factions' capital ships. I'd really appreciate some feedback so I can pinpoint the rough edges.

Hi guys.

I'm posting a new video to get some feedback on the new faction siege animations. I've toned them down a little compared to the last version so they're not too over the top in mass.

Let me know what you think so I can get rid of the rough edges.

i saw the updated video, and its AMAZING!!! That had me really excited!
I LOVED the TEC one, it was just epic.

one thing, make the Advent's a bit different, like maybe a constant beam?

I'm trying to give each faction a unique way of delivering pain to its destination.
Currently:
TEC - Missiles/Siege Cannon
Vasari - Eradication beam/Orange explodey beam
Advent - Plasma Globes/ Plasma Field

So the Vasari kind of have the beam market cornered. :/

What specifically don't you like about the plasma globes?
Are they moving too similar to the TEC nukes?
