Re: Animals

Has been brought up... Sand people hasn't been dismissed or guaranteed...

Jawas have been ruled out so far.
Ewoks have been ruled out so far.

The engine only supports one skeleton for stuff I guess and for them to be running around I think that means they need to be bots which use player spots or something and have to use  the same skeleton....

The only way I can figure it would work is if they created an Ewok/Jawa that was actually a moving object in the map, that plays a sound file as it moves around, and is also destroyable but has its own destruction animation that makes it appear as a dying Ewok/Jawa...

Two problems I think of right away...

How would they respawn.
How would they look as if they weren't on fixed paths that were the same throughout the entire game...

I relly don't think its going to happen...

Re: Animals

I wouldn't rule out ANYTHING yet. After all, those 2142 droids look like they can be made to serve alot of purposes.

Re: Animals

Is anyone else thinking of a servile Ewok? Follows you around and chucks rocks at things. In fact, let's replace all the drones with Ewoks. Sentry Ewok crouches in place and chucks rocks. UAV Ewok rides on your shoulders and loooks for enemies.

Is it possible to alter the position and height of the squad leader drone?

Re: Animals

In the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane...no! It's an..OMG it's chunking rocks at me!

lol

And that Stormy never knew what it was. tongue

But anyway, that is a pretty logical thought right there. I would just love to see a few sentry Ewoks on the battlefield on the Endor map you guys are planning. Would add to the realism. Especially the right models and skins, weapons, and vehicles on all maps. I could also imagine awesome movies made with this mod. Since we have a battle recorder, it's more easy to get good angles and stuff, which is cool.

All in all, this sentry idea is pretty good.

Re: Animals

Its not really something im gonna push for ..tho i cant speak for the other guys.

Apart from being a huge pull on resources for just 1 map .. it would be comedic imo
