I loaded a test map back into the editor and the built bases exploded. The other build pads version are for capture, and I think are blank for use in GC mode where you buy your buildings and then they show up on the planet in those designated spots....  [Read More]

I think the voice is perfect. He sounds as if he was young and had a life -turned corrupt by misfortune toward revenge. Reminds me of Garrett's voice from the original Thief I and II games from Looking Glass Studios, circa 1997 or so (Dark Project a...  [Read More]

Nice trailer is impressive! I assume it means the space maps will be bigger to hold all the action? Since I hear George himself plays this game, I assume the resources have been added to really beef up the original EAW with more content and AI (some...  [Read More]

The modified Lua will work in game. You can also add extra lines to it like C language. I was 'copy paste' command blocks to add extra stuff IE a Huge Rebel Invasion Fleet when it decides to "Crush.lua"...and it is awesome. The RIAD_AI_BOO...  [Read More]

A big thank you to you guys! :) You know your stuff very well (this is way above my head). It will be good to have even more versions to work with, in case something came up for redunancy. As for me, the 'technically challenged', I can play with the...  [Read More]

Sure, please do. I do not think we will get a LUA editor for now. With a disassembler, we can (the hard way) change any small aspect of the game that many modders may like. I for one would like to change the way the DeathStar Battle is played out. I...  [Read More]

Try making a land unit population value 0.5 or even zero. See what happens. LOL Then you will understand how much the AI can out build you! You can also add more units per squad, effectively making more units on the field. I doubled the infantry f...  [Read More]

Adonnay, that is interesting. Another spin on it. Evenflow80, make sure to include the Scale_Factor at 3.3 instead of 1.0. That scale factor seems to be important to lift it for the whole map in regards to the Comm_Station_Abandon stuff below it....  [Read More]

You can enable it, but there is a good reason why it is disabled. Before early game phase design, you could land troops anywhere on the map (like right up on your door step to your base), since they went to reinforcement points landing only, that mad...  [Read More]
