News Update - 101107
|
First off I'd like to apologise for not posting any news since the release.
Basically since the release of 0.1 I've pretty much fixed most of the obvious coding bugs that I've listed on the forums.
I've still got to sort out some of the cosmetic bugs such as opening doors and chimney smoke fx.
When all of that's done I'm not sure if I should make a missile launcher team or perhaps a Leman Russ, but I'm leaning toward the launcher team,
feel free to post any ideas on the forum as it's a bit quiet these days. After that I'm gonna start on the Chaos faction, I've already got one building
modelled and I've got a good idea of what vehicles they should get in order to counter the Imperial Guard. Their infantry will probably be pretty easy
to do since I can just use the Guardsmen and chaosify them,
add a little blood here sprinkle some unholy icons there.
Oh and hope you like the new website look, it's the new site for both Only War 1 and 2 now. Anyways, until next time!
Emperor Protects.

And here it is! D-day, day of days, prepare for war (hopefully).
Only War 2 should now be online and ready for downloading, click the image below to download.
The mod weighs in at 56.9 MB's in a winrar zip file.
You will need to have Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars in order to run the mod. (Not compatible with Kane's Wrath)
To install the mod, go to your C:\Users\Boomerang Python\Documents\Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars\mods directory and create a folder and name it OnlyWar2,
then you'll need to extract the files inside the .zip file into the folder you just created (a .big file and a .skudef file).
To launch the mod you simply start up your Command and Conquer 3 DVD auto-launcher and select 'Game Browser' then go to the tab 'Mods' and it should appear in that list,
now select the mod and then press the 'Launch Game' button at the bottom.
The alpha 0.1 features:
1 1v1 Map (A bridge too short)
1 Faction (Imperial Guard)
4 Units (Imperial Guardsmen, Chimeras, Hellhounds and Basilisks)
4 Buildings (Departmento Munitorum, Shrine of the Ecclesiarchy, Armamentorum, Manufactorum)
NO AI (So grab a buddy if you want to try it out)
Right, maybe I should explain how the economic side of the mod works, basically what you want to do is always make sure you construct a shrine as soon as you can, because these will generate resources (or 'faith') at a steady pace for you, and that's pretty much it. Easy really.
Also I'll repeat what I said in an earlier post; keep in mind that because it's only an alpha version it will be quite buggy and all kinds of glitchy.
So if anyone does take it for a spin, remember to post everything you encounter in the bug report section of the forum: Bug Report
Good luck out there,
Emperor Protects.

Most graphical things are now sorted and ingame, so I've now moved on to the menus and commandbars and what not, which means lots and lots of tinkering..
After I've sorted this bothersome little task the only things left to do is change all the prices,
build times and locomotor speeds and such simple balancing things, and make one or two simple tiberium free maps.
Things are looking up, expect some sort of news post pretty soon with some screens of the beta Guard toolbar and more.

Good day, ladies and gentlemen.
You thought we were dead again didn't ya? To be honest I thought so myself for a while there, and when I say we I mean the mod, and when I say the mod, I mean the mod team, and when I say the mod team... uh I mean me? It's been a slow year, as you may have noticed, not much has been going on since the dawn of 2009, but from time to time I've been doing some random work (Only in death does duty end :P).
I've decided to 'reboot' the mod, so I started by just recoding the mod from scratch, even though I had no idea how to code cnc3, but it's coming along fine, ran into a few bumps and stuff but most of it got solved. Currently working on coding in the blasted Basilisk animations that I just cant seem to get working for some reason, also at the same time trying to make it able to deploy with a button press. I've also had big issues trying to do something as simple as add resource generation to a building.
With this reboot I've decided to scrap Necrons as a playable faction because they're just too damn slow and the CnC3 maps are just too damn large and open for them to really work (seeing as they're slow as um well a bloody turtle or something). And instead of Necrons we'll have Traitor guard/Chaos who are much more exciting, and to be fair, easier to balance and easier to play around with.
You will probably see an increase in activity as the end of the year gets closer, for now, have a look at this wip screenshot of an Imperial Guard base (ignore the tiberium, commandbar and crazy hellhound :P), second up are some civilian props and random imperial stuff taken in worldbuilder (hence the freaky shadows... i hope), the third pic is a wip sneak peek at a traitor guard hellhound tank which I'll probably name a Cerberus tank (color scheme is temporary).
Until the next update,
Emperor Protects.

Yes, yes we're still alive..
It's been like 2 months since we posted anything, but work has been done in the dark
but it has been slow work, really slow, considering we have only one texture artist on
the team right now and loads of models that are just waiting for a paint job,
that's why I'd like to see any people interested in helping out email or pm me
(you can find my email on moddb or on our forums)
Anyways, I did mention that work has been going on in the dark didn't I?
Well what's been done is we've gotten the Basilisk ingame albeit without any of it's fancy
animations we've made (two guardsmen crewing it, doing crew stuff), ran into a snag
when we tried to export it so we had to remove the crew for now until we can purge the
filth that is keeping us from doing the Emperor proud.
We also decided to throw in a screenshot of the new improved normal map on the
chimera treads.
Also we should have some space marine related news along with some more shots of the
basilisk coming up in a couple of days..
So until then, enjoy these screenshots,
Emperor Protects.

Alright, since the release of the SDK we've not actually accomplished too much, our main coder and mapper has smashed his computer and is getting a new one at the end of the month, and our secondary coder has turned violently ill with some ravaging virus from the north pole!
However, that leaves me with these 2 improvements to previous models/skins that i've been working on lately,
we're also working on the Wraith anims which might get done this weekend.. So we might have some extra goodies for you by then.
Anyways, here's the two new improved versions of the Necron Warrior and the Imperial Guard Guardsman.
Until next time, Emperor Protects.
