Attention Modders- Do you like GIANT ROBOTS?!? Well then...
 

I could use your help. I have been working on a mod that allows you to make your very own GIANT ROBOTs(tm) with which to dominate the galaxy. In fact I am just about ready to start doing some testing on PBW (just in case I'm a little biased on the balance issues) but I have one slight problem... I lack pictures of GIANT ROBOTSs(tm)!

If you are good at 3D modeling, are an anime fan who likes scanning through mountains of stills, of are just a masochist, then I need you!

I need pics for these mech sizes:

MechaSmall
MechaMedium
MechaRepair - has a special mount for the repair bay
MechaLarge
MechaShield - has a special mount for shields
MechaAssault - has a special direct fire mount
MechaElite - has access to both the assault and shield mecha mounts.

I need pics for each race, though only the small, medium and large mecha pics are required. They don't have to be humanoid but they should definitely not look like ships or fighters.

I have some robots aquired from the doga website that I converted to doga3 that I could upload if anyone wants a template to start with. This is what I have been doing though my attempts have been frustrating and slow going. So, in the interests of seeing this mod reach completion, I beg of you, send me your ROBOTS!

Fine then, no one seems to be into the idea of making doga-bots. I can understand that. How about general interest in this particular mod idea? Does anyone here want to see a horde of spaceworthy battle mecha storm across the galaxy shattering all who stand in their path (or, conversely, see them all simultaneously taken out by an unforseen minefield)?

In other words, is there enough interest for me to bother posting this mod when it is (eventually) finished? Or is the prodominant SEIV crowd staunchly against the idea of anthropomorphizing their technology?

Twould be nice to know. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

giant robots, sure.

How are mechas supposed to carry shields and repair bays? Those don't really work on troops... or are these transformer mecha that turn into spaceships and fly from planet to planet? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

space mecha's, of course.

would be neat to see-- i enjoy all types of mod changes to SE IV--I however am not a shipset desighner (yet)--so i cant help out in the ships. I would try it out though))))).

Re: Attention Modders- Do you like GIANT ROBOTS?!? Well then...
 

This sounds like a good addition to a mod, not a shipset. New "Giant Robot Bays", "Giant Robots", "Giant Robot Weapons", and a "Nadesico High Mobile Civilian Battleship" for a carrier! Obviously, they would launch like fighters, but kick *** in ground combat, as well!

he's planning on making a mod.

Re: Attention Modders- Do you like GIANT ROBOTS?!? Well then...
 

Well purely depends on how well implemented it is.

If it works good and looks good - I'd download it!

It would seem someone has been watching too much Sci-fi and Anime. Of course, there is no such thing as too much Sci-fi and Anime.
