man, i wish i could playetst this, but i got to much else i need to do. Looks absolutely awsomely essential tho.

I'll test it. Email's in my sig

Um... so this does all the work for you?

Exactly, If you run the program, and select add new generic trooper, it will create all the neccesary patches. It will then place them in your patches file, you would then run genied, and create a new genie. Create the mod, install it.
Generating the patches only take about 10 seconds.

So even an idiot can do it?

Okay I'll give it a try.

Emailing it now...

Okay, it looks fairly user friendly. Is there anything else I have to know? Any extra instructions?

Omri, put this in your genied\text folder, but make sure you backup your old patches file, otherwise it will overwrite it. Try adding a trooper first, select the graphics before you run the program. Then after you install the mod, Your ne unit should be in the scen editor, look for trooper, or open up genied 2 to further edit this unit.

Holy crap! If it's that easy I'd LOVE it...

still looking for a playtester?

what do you mean by select the graphics? the slp for them or what?

Should I read your how to add new graphics thing again?

Awsome, i will definately use this when its released.

A think to help add terrains would also be helpful

jfrantik53@yahoo.com

I forgot.

TPG, I did notice that you wanted somebody to compile your mods so they did not replace anything, this will make it easy for you.

BTW When I'm finished with this I'm going to continue with my mod, and I wanted permission to use your mods. My mod will include a compilation of all the good mods available on this site, and some others.

Darth Jacob, sending it now, any questions or help post here!! Thanks

Sorry for being a pain still but what did you mean by select your graphics?

Would I just follow the steps as outlined in the how to add new graphics thing?

Omri look at post 11 above use those numbers for the graphics. You may have to delete everything below the counters in the patches file, and start over.

I need to figure out the add terrain thing, but thats a good idea.

I appreciate you testing this, your not being a pain!!!

Omri do you have messenger, or MSN?

I do have MSN but it doesn't behave and I can never get it to work. But my MSN address is oldskulejosh@hotmail.com if I can get it to work.

If all else fails I'm on AOL so if you send me an email I'll get it straight away. Dunno how conveniant that is for you?

I nbeed to add the slp's to the DRS don't I?

EDIT: I think I get it. Do I use those numbers for my graphics then? It's a non-attacking unit I was going to try so I just leave the attacking graphics out, and then change the graphics to what I intend?

[This message has been edited by Omri Khan (edited 03-06-2006 @ 05:22 PM).]

At this point you can add a .slp to the .drs, or use an existing .slp. For now look at post 11 use those numbers for your graphics, then run genied and create a new genie, then install it.

Don't give up you'll find that adding new units to the game is easier than you thought.

Have you been able to add new .slps to the .drs yet?

I put you in my MSN messenger, so sign on...

Oh dear, my MSN may have died on me... I'll see if I can make it better... It's just going really slow (as usual) luckily it's not crashed yet.

Sorry, it's refusing to work

I found out more player colors.

Stop stealing my Sarthos's ideas!

To be honest with you, I told him he should make a genied calculator thingy-ma-jigger that did those same things. He was too lazy, so you just have to do it.

This will definately be awesome. Good job (once again) SI!

EDIT: Ooh, still looking for playtesters? With the way the DRS thing is working, it won't let me add units with new graphics, and this is uberly awesome anyway, so...

LOL...someone has been busy...nice. Does it give me the patch codes to make new tech lvls and research? I got buildings pretty much down. If so, can you email me wcwsmiley1@aol.com. Thanks, okay so maybe there is a couple people I missed on my initial Order 66...my bad

Yea, so why not change your main post.

obi_jay, that will be included in the newest release.

Added to topic post: The ability to select an alternate attacking graphic, used when a unit is commanded to attack another unit. When the unit attacks on his own, when another unit comes within his line of sight, it will use the default attack.

And generic Jedi, without the ability to pickup holocrons, but still have the ability to convert. I forsee new unique units, like Senators who can convert.
