Idea for Far East Faction

Cuyo Quiz · Post by **Cuyo Quiz** » July 29th, 2005, 3:20 pm

bad news: i got addicted to WOW, and stopped working on this, my appologies

That happens so much nowadays.

Best news: i'm gonna start a post seperately to get this developed by people who know what they are doing, and i will not fade into WOW addiction.

Seriously?. I think a support group is in order.

You've got something like 18 different units to be drawn and animated, you've got the base for 3 so... you've got 15 base images, and say and average of seven for a fully animated blade hand-to-hand combat warrior should have 7-8 frames, giving you a minimum of 126 animation images, assuming you have no range or spear etc which need directional, you could be looking at 200 animation frames some poor guy needs to volunteer for.

you mean I volunteered to sit my butt down at my computer for who knows how long to do over 200 frames of DE artwork?

(psycho theme song ensueing)

good news: i didn't lose any money

better news: now that the units are made, i'm looking for a new artist. I really can't pay you, but if you can make the units, dude, i won't complain and you can make them the way you want, fitting the descriptions. I will help if you want, but if you get them done... props.

If you post, them, I myself will continue work on them. I have a million things hanging over my head, and even the littlest bit will grease the wheels considerably.

*Is currently working in rl to help Kafka lay off the wow and post up the darn sprites.* Darn wow must burn in hell that everquest is in.

So WoW must burn inside Evwrquest?. Man, that is just harsh. Don't force more waiting spawning times on them, i think it violates some human health rights.

ok, seriously, who didn't see my last post. You people make the art, i'm done, my work is in making the units. If you want to see this stuff done in less than 9 months, you might want to do the artwork. I will do anything that needs to be done on MAKING UNITS. But since that's pretty much done, i'm handing this idea over to people who can draw and program. Personally, i have a manual dexterity issue (i have some tissue issure with my hands) so i can't draw, or write, for ..... ok, you get it. Now, since i haven't worked with programming even a campaign, i can't program the units, so PLEASE, somebody pick this up for me, i speant my time doing this, somebody else get it out.

Just to make sure this is the tree.... I am confused about the Monk and the Ki monk and enlightened monk.... They are from different lvl 1 units, right?

initiate -> Tainted initiate -> Tengu Warrior
initiate -> Monk -> Master

Meditant ->Enlightened Monk -> Disciples of Nirvana
Meditant ->Ki Monk -> Ki Master

Claw Dancer ->Ninja -> Ninja Master
Claw Dancer -> Fan Dancer

Samurai wanderer -> Samurai Warrior -> Samurai Hero
Samurai wanderer -> Samurai Bodyguard->Samurai Slayer

Samurai Noble -> Samurai Officer -> Shogun Warlord -> Emperor

I *may* be able to help programming the units.

They have trained to be resistant to the elements, but they sacrifice the protection of armor for mobility. They have trained in many natural settings, as well as in their monasteries, but don't fight well in placed where their enemies can hide or their mobility is reduced, such as towns, swamps, and mountains."

That's the first time I did this... can someone check if it's right? Or did I completely miss it? I am not sure how to put the terrain modifiers and resistances in there...

Theres the code for the units.... they might be so faulty you need to do them again.... I dont know how to set for cavalry and the resistances and terrain Modifiers... Dont know the movement types either.. but, have a look, and tell me how I could fix them.

and yes, it took 1 hour and 53 minutes...

I tried sticking it on an era... and I got and error thats says

"Macro subsitution not terminated, started at /paths to cfg files in campaign folder and era folder"

Whats Macro substitution?

P.S I figured out how to add movement types, resistance and terrain and unit type... so doesnt matter, havent had time to implement it yet though...

Okay... got it "working"... finally.
no more"marco subsititution not terminated"

But I can't use recruit window , the window doesnt come up when I click recruit. But the ai can use the faction fine.
That's the code, 'templated' from Turin's in the Classical Era. Hope he doesn't mind.

Here's an updated version of some of the units, like half of them... plus the movement-resistance-terrain modifiers for the units
