Tottaly random question involving modding

Postby fattierob » Sat Mar 26, 2005 7:55 pm

You know, ever since I played darwinia I always thought "you know what, this would make a good machinia (Ie: redvsblue.com)"...

Problem is that you can't directly control darwinias.

so is it possible to make officers look like regular darwinia's using modding?

Possibly. I'm not sure if you can set the model file to be 2d though (i've not figured out the model file format yet).

Edit: You'd also have the flag in the way, unless you could figure out how to remove that.

I've solved most of it, aside from the hardcoded bits. Need any info?



Regardless, it would seem darwinia uses darwinian.shp for the officer.

The officer.shp is actually an unused model that looks like a triangle guy with a sword and shield.

He was originally the old Squad, as can be seen in the first preview video. I preferred that model to the current one, tbh :(

well actually I haven't beaten the game yet (i'm working on, I'm working it. I like taking my time. =D)...and I have no modding expierience with the game.

I was just wondering if their was some random file I could put into my darwinia folder and it worked ^_^

oh well. heh.
