Transformer Conversion Mod???

Transformer Conversion Mod???

Hey there, I'm a big fan of transformers, but lack any sort of modding ability. So I was wondering if any modders out there could make a transformers conversion mod(ie: like the already existent B5 mods), please?? It'd be really cool, and very appreciated.

Cool, sounds like it'll even better, when will that be? Oh and yes, all the purples looked sufficiently different.


Whenever 1.3 is released and I have some time to sit down and edit the GC2Conversations.xml file, not to mention bug squashing (for all I know the bugs I'm experiencing could be my computer for some reason).

For any of you keeping up with my mod you can read the latest update here > WWW Link


Cool. You're going further down the modding path than I am. Perhaps in the future I will consider doing some of the things you are doing.

Future Guy: I just saw the first post of this conversion and I thought for a minute... why din't you asked me to do Cybertron when I first post Coruscant?

Good question. I guess it didn't cross my mind at first. I can tell you that I downloaded Coruscant and put it in the game and used it in a custom race for a week.

So far i have taken the Cybertron mod and altered the lighting etc to produce a further 4 planets to use in my mod. Once Master U manages to complete Unicron for me i should be ready to go with the beta... i hope
Most of the other planet images are already in the game so did not need altering that much.

Future Guy... Some advise please

How did you go about altering the race colors in the files? SO far i have the Autobots as blue and they and others need altering. What do i need to change to get the right colors and how does it work??

Thanks

You need to edit the following in the RaceConfig.xml file.

RaceColor>12,12,255 ShadowColor 0,5,41 ShadowColor
UndefendedStarColor 64,64,192 UndefendedStarColor
DefendedStarColor 128,128,255 DefendedStarColor
SectorColor 12,12,255 SectorColor
BaseColor 241,251,220 BaseColor
TrimColor 0,64,128 TrimColor
EngineColor 0,255,255 EngineColor
InterfaceColor 0,200,255 InterfaceColor


I modified the colors in the game to get the numbers and wrote them down from top to bottom.

I only changed Race, Sector, Base (Hull), Trim, Engine, and Interface colors.

Q. How did you decide on the hex codes to use? was it just trial and error or did you work from a design..?

Sorry to ask so many questions but it could save me hours of pain

Thanks!!

PS. Saving that i could just copy over the ones in the game that exist but no idea on the variables for the ones that dont

The Race, Sector, Base (Hull), Trim, Engine, and Interface colors all seem to be random pickings from here, so please enlighten me as to your decision on what hex to pick..

LOL

I used what has been shown in the TV shows and the movie from '86 as a starting point. After that it was trial and end to come up with a scheme that looked nice and in some cases I used my imagination to come up with a color scheme.

Hope that helps.

Yeah, that's all it is. It must've taken me a half-hour to do it. I'm satisfied with the results too. Looks like it could pass as being legit colors for Transformers IMO.

Anything is better than nothing!! I have every faith in you As long as it slightly resembles the image i will be more than happy!!

Future Guy i found a nice shortcut to race colors Open the game and select the race you want to alter, select the colors in the game and then more forward one screen. This creates a rave save in my docs/my games etc. Open that and the info is there for you LOL

is it true that Unicron is a little bit green?

More grey than green, but there is definitely a hint of green there someplace

If you want green in there then grren we shall get

No, No, I just saw some comic pics like this:

and it looks green don't you think?

and I have decided to paint Unicron like this image:

without the "out coming" things, so the planet map should be ready in about... 7 hours, plus I need to go to rest, so 1 hour for the image, 6 for myself.

Thank you for the support
