[Bittah Commander]

This could turn into an interesting mod. I think it's essential that you replace RA2's filthy terrain however

[SeekSomethingNew]

I foresee some crazy foundation issues...

[Dubzac]

yup i will replace that ugly as hell RA2 terrain don't worry i hate Ra2 terrain stuff just as much as you Bittah

[jadems]

Now that looks sweet.
But the Blue Star Legion seems kinda random. What's their role?

[Bittah Commander]

Yay I honestly couln't stand playing any RA2/YR mod that didn't replace RA2 terrain.

[Dubzac]

Now that looks sweet.
But the Blue Star Legion seems kinda random. What's their role?

[Blue Star Legion]
-Origins = Tibet and Norway
Missile/Covert operations fraction

original purpose :working with the brotherhood of nod to establish colony's in Asia and northern Europe.

new purpose : bringing down the brotherhood evil kane
Operated by : the "Council of 8" (four members of nod and 4 of gdi)

side :mercenaries

Unique features:

1.Stealth infantry (most units in B.S.L. when elite become stealth unlike nod this ability has to be Earned in blood.)

(however there is a exception this is the thief and ninja they are always stealth form the time they are trained )

2.IFV scout
(exceptionally fast vehicles/aircraft (scout units and light tanks)

3.Extensive missile and plasma tech

(nearly all units have rockets or plasma of one kind or another excluding infantry (except purifier "most powerful rocket solder" in the game)


Information on the Blue Star Legion:
blue star legion was once a nod fraction. But with now its own leaders. It has revolted against the brotherhood in a effort to stop death and the prospect of yet another war.

[Roadwarrior]

wasn't this on ppm?

[Dubzac]

wasn't this on ppm?

yes

[Dubzac]

---update--

GDI


BSL


NOD

[Nod Strike]

Looks awesome!

EDIT:

Can you make about 3-4 aircraft for each side? That's what C&C lacked.

[Crimsonum]

Why would you need so many different aircraft? Technically, you need only two; one as a fighter, one as a bomber. Plus, there can be one transport.

@Yuri 007 and @Nod Strike
theres still lots of old RA2YR logic in my game for some units that still look like there ingame but infact I'm still making the game
blue star legion is the only side that gets more air units. most of the extras are not buildable or use other units in order to work.

all sides have a

Fighter or Light bomber
Bomber
Dropship
Unique unit

NOTE : all sides have 4 buildable aircraft

the rest of the air units are ether a (superweapon spy unit /ship bound unit)
note that all sides also only have 3 sea units as well

PS: some sides look like they have less units but the sides that have less units are mostly infact have multirole units

Also the gdi bomber is not finished theres many errors in its weapon its disabled for now until i can fix it

[Dubzac]

sorry for another post but

update





new things just keep springing up
damn this buildings and cameos arrrrggggghhh i need to make more

[Nod Strike]

Nod looks damn cool.

[Aro]

The Nod construction yard in one of the first pictures, looks incredible. Nice job!

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

you forgot an "i" in the Daishi cameo. It's not Dashi.

[Aro]

You do realise that the Nod logo, the one on the refinery is back-to-front, don't you?

[Dubzac]

hey dudes i fixed those things. thanks for telling me heres a update for ya

Building and cameo update.





Yep i'm still making the game

[Aro]

With the credits, you should really point out what it is that the certain person made / contributed to your mod.

[bartpp7]

this mod look realt good it great how creater of it has modified the RA2 biuldings to a GDI,NOD look very swish i like it so much is there any sign of a release date

[Aro]

If anything, Dubzac. It's not the terrain that needs replacing, it's the cameo's. Those cameo's are hideous to be fair (No offence). They're too pixelated, they're clearly just copied and pasted from an in-game screenshot or a Voxel veiwer screenshot, and it make's things look untidy.

[Roadwarrior]

on the cameo's for the buildings you should build it ingame and take a screenshot crop it and use that just an idea.

Good work BTW

[NodTrooper]

What so great about the terrian? Seriously, it doesn't matter, as long as the soldiers/buildings/vehicles look good and the gameplay is good. I would be a very happy camper, but sadly I don't have YR.

[Dubzac]

Me sees error :redface: .My buildings lost their animations after i upgrade to using Npatch version 0020. :eek:

I was using these aircraft carriers to launch planes for target partice Npatch version 0020.
I got AA combat aircraft now in the mod cool huh

BTW: note lots has changed in code but you can't tell can you... mmmm yet anyway
PS: graphics have only minor changes.

(i smell new TS tiles soon) hehe


@all
-hey fans i'll try to do it all it just takes time

btw the release date will be very late in the year 2008 or early 2009 maybe less i dunno yet.

Better yet i'll tell ya when i'm happy to let you play.
Unlike Dawn of the legions One i will pay extra attention to balancing and real world physics

things you will really notice

****for all moving things****

-All combat units have major differences in effective weapons vs all types with realistic damage (or as close as the game allows)

(Im gona make you earn your rank in blood... Punk!! )
****Features*****

-tanks and mechs : Really do own tanks better than anything.

-infantry : Ever heard of a infantry MG owning a tank no i haven't ether..
Only light units will take some damage.

-rocket soldiers : Even one can own a tank (don't even try it punk !!)

-AI: Will really be, Hard , normal and Easy (not like the failed YR AI)

-Maps - full of on map traps and finds

-Civs - More pain bad arse neural stuff trying to blow you up.
(just like Dawn of the legions One)

[Dubzac]

anyway fans the terrain is changing but it will be slow since as you can see since installing N-patch many art animations have failed to show up.

At the moment fans, I'm trying to get them all back please beware there's many problem's with graphics I'm attending to all at once

The terrain will take more time to make so don't panic.



Well it ain't all bad news N-patch is very much like rock-patch with all the addons i'm proud to be using such i fine program.

thanks VK

PS: i'm using Npatch AE #0010 but Npatch version SE #0020 works with this mod too.

[Aro]

I'm trying my best not to get really really angry at the cameo's... I HATE Messy sidebars. >_>

[Dubzac]

i need

cameo makers
terrain helpers
artmd.ini helpers
rulesmd.ini coders
AImd.ini helpers

please i can't do this on my own its just too much.


if firestorm had answered my email and gave me the terrain set conversation of TS tiles i could of been making the campaign by now

[Dubzac]

im sorry i haven't been around lately i have no internet but i have finshed all my game im just checking the game for errors as of now. Im still really mad that EA stole my ideas but i will make a come back i will chech up with you all soon.

[Nod Strike]

I really would help, but know nothing of modding, and the best I ever gave was one crappy map.

And Aro, don't get so worked up. It's 1 guy doing this all, he'll get round to it.

[ShDwBoRn]

i would help with coding, but unfortunately for me vista hates RA2(and TS, and RA, and TD, and everything else too). Looks really good so far, i quite like how nod is looking

[Dubzac]

lol ShDwBoRn yes i need a coder to get balance into the game at the mo all the "classes" of unit's have the same firepower and ROF with nothing unique at all about them, its just plain and dull units, okay.. so some air units can do air to air combat big deal i'm sure all modern games are the same in that respect ShDwBoRn your goal will be very simple cost and some weapon tweaks that even a way green Rokie can do.

i'll give you a privite message and yes i do need a coder. I WILL NEED YOU.

nod strike : humm i'll get back to you at another time.

[Nod Strike]

No, no, no, no, no. I wasn't applying, i was saying that this looks hopeful, and would LOVE to help, but can't cause...

... well I just can't.

[CommanderSpartan]

Maybe I can help? Now to find my RA2 CD. I pick up bits of codes and tuts. and I think I can help or not, depends on how much you need help. If you need professional help, keep looking, if you need someone to quicky code the game in a noobish but working way, I think I can help, I think.

[Dubzac]

SMT just joined up thats good

@ CommanderSpartan great i'll take you on too hey you might learn something and get famous and all that welcome to the team dude


@ Nod strike: well you don't have to be a geneis theres allways room for a ideas person! . still keen dude?.

[Dubzac]

hey guys i managed to add some more sides man i wish you could see the photos i will upload them at a later date

i added these factions/subfactions

key
(****) main faction
# subfaction

(Nod)
# Eye of Kane
# Cabal
# Kanes Conquestors

(GDI)
# Rough riders
# Steel talons
# Zocom

(BSL)
* Red Guard
* Iron Fists
* Dragons claw

all sides will have minor differences in the units they use.

introduction/infomation

Brotherhood of nod

(nod) Eye of Kane

this subfaction uses i large number of cheap units the mega tank and heavy artillery is not avaible to this subfaction however it is replaced by stealth artillery and sniper tank. Commander keep a eye on the battle field or esle you will be overrun.

(nod) Kanes Conquestors

One of 2 of kanes Elite guard these guys prefer to swap the nod nuke superweapons and suiside airstrike superweapon for bainwashing superweapons and the total abuse of hijackers and toxin solders. whatch out commander these guys perfur to turn you over to kane with out putting up much of a fight.

(nod) Cabal

cabal has rebult its army form the ground up it now doen't use organic units at all cabal uses mainly cyborgs with mutipurose weapons and robots to win his war. commander his units are unsualy expense
but the most hardy than all the nod subfactions.

Global Defence Initive

(GDI) Rough riders

the newest gdi unit to enter sevice these guy use Ion technogly to the limit they have no mechs or artillery
but they have the biggest Navy to date

(GDI) Steel talons

these guys love their mechs more than tanks or advanced technogly expect better trained and armored units
this unit is the oldest of the three subfactions and a veteran and all combat

(GDI) Zocom

during the second dawn of the legions war these guys were almost wiped out by heavy blue star legion attacks
since the recovery process zocom has changed it now purfurs short range and huge firepower these guys are now the only
expect sonic weapons and reinforcement pods often

Blue star legion

(BSL) Red Guard

these guys really have the best defenders of blue star legions assests unlike its cusion "Eye of Kane" its main concentration is on defence
of the homeland rather than offence.

(BSL) Iron Fists

these guys have forght a long battle with the brotherhood of nod and were the first of the bluestarlegion forces to break with nod in the first
dawn of the legions war expect alot of mutirole units

(BSL) Dragons claw

a new airforce brings a new subfaction. these guys have forused on its airforce and small amonts of stealth units captured form nod in the first dawn of the legions war.

[Dubzac]

as you can see theres still lots to do but we're getting there slowly by surely

[0warfighter0]

Not bad, but there are still some small faults in it like the Nod power plant, ... but I'm shure you'll fix it.

[Dubzac]

fixed all the problems form the last update i'll repost in the near future on the subfactions

i just added the civilain assets to my mod, man you gona love demo units i must have something like a ssuperweapon with npatch its ready good already. heh kinda fun too. too bad i can't get any maps going for my mod. i think i need a whole lot of voice people for this mod ,okay so i have toned down the mod alot form the frist mod its a little less over-the-top form the first. goodness i have so much work to do its not funny jesss its my birthday and im STILL working on it.

oh by the way i fixed the nod menu to as much as i can.

i got some really positive feedback form the last mod okay im not trying to be the best mod cus im kinda making a large porsion or the mod i made my self .with some help form friends like holymaster who built the 3 legged walker for his mod but instead let me use it, which i've now called the " topililes " ,it suits the mod very unique and very nodish. i must addmit online assests for nod stuff is bloodly easy to find.as for gdi preety rare and bsl almost imposiable.

im surprised by tiberuim oddessy which is far more overall and having more staff deos help,but i don't think i'll have the same luck with dawn of the legions . just because its huge and chews ram like nothing out of the dark ages but surprising less ram than the red alert mod 2 my mod is built on. LOL i think its because i pack my mods in as much as possiable .

Its kinda werid really to build on a game i really don't like much ....(i mean talk about overpoweredness and corny-as voice overs werid campy humor)

Dawn of the legions is a very serious mod which makes it that little more harder to make and because most of my units are not tiberuim sun'ish makes it harder still i'm not sure about this mod weather its a good idea to carry on given i have very little support and i have just hard my website i was running got shut down man im pissed off.

i want some CGI versions of my units to add to my load srceens.

i must admit imma fuss pot i have to have things perect or i don't accept it or don't want it see orgainally i wanted 4 sides with 3 extra factions each but with the npatch having a sh* of a time trying to read my eva files i soon gave up on that idea.

man i hate this YR map editor its crap it can't see or read my new units or buildings. (*rants for another hour*)

i admit more that i love tiberuim sun but im not going back to the thirdside probloems again man that was a B***h.

anyway i hope to hell you all love my mod when it comes out that had to be the hardest thing ive ever and i mean ever had to do by my self.
