Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

Hmmmm, I don't know, I see it too...

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

Well pre-production work for Anubis is going rather nicely i must say.Also going into pre-prodution are all my Marathon Infinity projects.Pi is no 90% complete! yay! However GW is halted for now.I simply need help working out the sizes of things.Marathon a New Age is coming along nicely,i like some of it so much i decided to put them into LR.Two questions:1:can i give a hull boarding abilities built in?2:can i give a hull built in fighter capacity.Shai Halud is also coming along smoothly im doing race styles now,i am not too happy with how Ordos came out but the Bene Tleilaxu came out rather nicely.Much to my joy.

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

1) Yes, but I don't know if they would actually work or not.

2) Most definitely. You can build the cargo ability and the launch abilities into hulls.

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

Cool thanks.Also i was thinking of the beneifts of a Primitive Race in your system:

Free Money
Free Population
SLAVE LABOR!

so i am working now on ways of enslaving a Primitive race.Besides troops is there any way to take a planet with its population intact

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

An Intel mission: Puppet Political Parties.

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

well i dont mean enslaving the entire race,just to like get some of the population without killing them or trading,just taking.

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

Like His/Her Magesty's Navy and the press gangs?

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

Capture a cargo ship with pop on it.

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

Lord Kodos:

After seeing the valiant effort to thwart off the negative comments made by the se3 separatists...I have new found respect. Continue your working on your mod(s?) and I hope you finish them.

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

lol thanks.Well now im working on my Marathon projects one of witch is set in the SE universe.Sorry but after slaving over 9.4 bilion years of history writing my Lusinons history i need short break from se4.So im working on Marathon projects witch are:

RS-64626(i forget the numbers lol
Halo:Grace and Glory
Pfhor me?

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions

MC3-"Dumb"AI(an AI that has slower responses,but will always work right.

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

Umm, how do you intend to get computers that occasionally flip out?

And:

Mobile Suns???? Are you mad????

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

mobile suns not quite,and if you want out of proportionalisim watch andromeda they had a mobile system.A Behemoth is a ship the size of a huge planet or a tiny sun.A worlships the size of a normal planet.And i havent quite decided how they flip out but there will be a disadvantage,i may make the component fragile etc etc i dont know yet

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

more name changes:

Tiny Fighter-Picket Ship
Scout-Probe
Transport medium-Freighter
Huge Fighter-Escort
Escort-Corvette

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

Anubis comes along nicely there.There will of course be tons of easter-eggs in it lol

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

well heres an insight into the twisted minds behind my projects the crazy crew!

Lord Kodos,AKA Tyrant,AKA:The Darkmessenger:Thats me the man who needs no introduction

Deathgod Of Happy:Artist,my close freind,wreaker of multiplayer Halo carnage....and some other things he helps with too!

Dark Evil Joker:
Builder of my sites,another friend of mine...

Lady Utensil,AKA Scary Phillipino Girl:my close friend,shes the thin tether keeping me even remotely stable,also helped develop some of my races.

Quasi-Members:
gGusty Boy:Hes working on the dune mod with me

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

Which begs the question... how's that Dune mod comming along anyway?

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

rather nicely.

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

Project anubks marchs along nicely,sadly it needs a name....all the good ones are taken tho lol....seriously i need something not plot-related as their are soo sooo sooo many sub-plots i was thinking maybe naming it Soulstorm

Anyhow here today to discusss the primar playable races and the benefits as a whole for them:

Humans:BENFITS?! BAH these dudes are average all around
Lizard Men:Better streangth and skill with pole-arms but holy spells and swordmenship fall
Goblins:speed and better skills with surviving in the forests...
Jackels:Better magic power all around,above average streangth,supirior speed,but actual weapon skills and defense are diminished.
Elves:Nimble-Uber-Archers nuff'said
Dwarfs:stronger then humans and better with smashing weapons but dont expect to win any iq tests or races!
Trolls:like Dwarfs but even more extreme!and bad magic
Ratmen:enhanced,senses,speed,and streangth but little intelligence,weapon skills,or defense,and magic ha dont expect any!

as for my personal fave:Jackels all the way baby!

of course those are only the selectable races there are many many more in the game,perhaps even secret races!?

Also there are several resources to be harvested in the game:

Food:keeps you alive,and heals you slightly in combat!
Steel,Iron,Buckministerfullerene hey howd that get int there?!well it aint in the game lol,Lumber:good for building crud,and selling!

There may be some RTS esque scenarios like holding out forts and whatnot where the amount of reserves you can call in have troo be paid for.

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

Why would goblins be good in forests? All that they know how to do there is cut down and burn trees. They live underground in caves in the mountains, not in forests.

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

How do you know that any of this will be possible with dungeon odysey?

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

i dont know,but anything is possible imho.The Mantids have a fleet now its the Zeta Reticuli by andres,i commisoned it i just need to do some modifiying and i am set.

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

Well some more LR news...

Basiclly when it comes to the actual file its in three parts:

1:The game:only whats necesarry no more...)
2:The Extras:Extra art,sounds,music and whatnot)
3:The Campaigns:all the campaigns on in here

and it will also be available on cd for about 5 dollers if i get MMs approvel..well its 4 cds..

1:The Game Disc
2:The Extras Disc
3:The Campaigns Disc
4:The Sountrack

of course you can buy any of them seperatly.Yeah once Vectorianmainframe.net comes up we will have loads of crud for sale...t-shirts,mousepads,games,game-addons,Nuclear Devices,Planets,books and who knows what else!

As for the storyline the thing in my quote is a reference...the four main chapter of the main Campaign.Also there are loads of non-scenario maps as well!There are aslo Mini-Games if you will scenarios like the Survivor i mentioned before(witch will be a massive-multiplayer event,in the rpg community with results but more on that later...)and stuff like Races,Peacemaker,Capture the Flag,Deathball 2869,King of the Hill and what not.

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

Do you actually have enough original content to fill 4 CD's?

You do realise that if you sell these CD's and any image or snippet of data is not original you will most likely end up in court right?

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

of course i realise that lol my fathers a lawyer!anyhow its all my stuff and where its not ive endeveared to obtain permission to use it and have.Copyrights are the LEAST of my concerns with this mod as i violate non

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

echh i cant sell it lol my bad i realised too many of the third party stuff makes references,or is at least somehow copyrighted...oh well ill have to host it elsewhere,or change those images,witch ill do eventually just not yet.Gandalph may i use you races in the mod?

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

Okay ive a good idea how Necromancy works.Hadrian please excuse me while i use the Akah as an example here not in the mod.Okay notice how the Mok'Akah are all Undead right thats not how it works in my mod.Essentially a Necromancer race is "Alive" with only certain components and units that are "undead" so for example the Akah race would have Troopinfantry then Troopundead get it?now can a component use a race specific image?

Im working on making some of the Anubis races into shipsets for Fyrons Magic Mod.With Hadrians permission i have begun work on a Mok racestyle based on vokells old race of the same name and Hadrians inspiration for the Akah,the catch?It cannot be connected to the Akah in any way other then:
"Being round
Being of liquid Metal
Being utterly alien,bent on assimiliation,and beyond reasoning."
Now then back to other news the LR mod is coming along nicely.PI mod is coming out this week sorry it was delayed but i had perchased Warcraft III and gotten a little sidetracked.Certain things in the LR mod are released early these include:
Designname files
Maps(maybe not i am not sure)
Racestyles
Teasers GALORE
Well thats all for now.Be happy be free and most of all be clothed.

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

Now i am removing any and all copyrighted material from LR that i have not gotten permission for.Also the PI mod is almost here if i dont release at least part of it by 12:00 sunday the end of this weak i shall commit hari-kari(SP?)I got moray yesterday so be ready for some malformed crud! Also for nostagoltia i am debating wether or not to put in Quadrents in LR that simulate:
SE1
SE2
and no not SE3 because its close enough to SE4 that it would be stupid,besides SE3 is still making money SE2 and SE1 are no longer for sale.

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

Good to know you are finally releasing something kodos.

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

Yes,Yes it is.Ive decided empty promises get me no where.If i want to start my Undead Legion of Darkness ill need some results before people begin selling me their immortal souls MWUHAHAHA.no realy though im going to try i know i have been an *** at times and i realy thank you guys for putting up with me.And yes those who stuck up for me will get some kind of royalties.

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

Whee!

LR is so nice.The work on some Racesets for Magic Mod is going nicely,as is my education in Moray.Vokell has givin me his blessings on that Mok shipset and i am beginning work on it

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

Whee.The Mok race is coming along nicely.And i am probably releasing it within two weeks as i am still a little new to moray.The AI may be a little....buggy because i am developing this race for the LR mod.PI will be released sunday in an early beta Version.Back to other stuff.The Mok will come with a few....extras.Teasers,graphics,and fluff.

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

*screams in utter agony* Trying to read that compact, incomprehensible text is akin to performing brain surgery on a rat with a <expletive deleted> sledgehammer. I'm considering writing a lil php script that will clean up and auto-space Kodos' typing... heh

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

2 days to go Kodos, hows it lookin? You gonna make the deadline or are we going to have to fire you?

Seriously though, you should try and space your Posts better, and maybe take a few moments to clean up your grammer.

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

ZA, I think you mean "fire _at_ him", not "fire him". http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

Itill be out tomorrow dont worry.Like i said what i release may or may not be playable i havent time to check im just releasing something to show the work has been done.

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

Well what do you thnk of the PI demo

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

Be a little more patient. Maybe post a link to it?

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

Hey Kodos, you forget something, like the link maybe?

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

ARGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

So, whats up, you gonna post it or not?

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

So, I am going to take you it you don't have anyhting to release? What a suprise.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

Sorry in a joint effort the elder scrolls III morrowwind and Warcraft III Reign of Chaos have been holding me hostage.This sunday expect it.

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

It's too late Kodos. You said you were going to have it Last sunday, but you didn't, no biggie. But then you made a post trying to make it look like you tried to post it but screwed up. Then you never post it. Now you come clean and admit you lied about it and actually have nothing.

Sorry, but that paints you as a liar, and I find that unnaceptable.

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

Come on, ZA, give this guy a break.
Btw, Kodos, please edit your annoying 'Arrhh!!!' post (insert a space or two) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

Anyone want to place a bet whether L.K. upload _something_ this week or not ? I think odds should be close to Manchester City winning Premiership this season. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Vectorian Mainframe Productions
 

uhmm no i never lied.I realy did try an upload but failed.By the time i noticed i was enthralled with WC3 and Morrowind as i said.I never lied about that.
