Dominions 3000 (name confirmed!)

[Aezeal]

PS my first version of this mod.. just to get others into this since I didn't start this thread but I damn sure need more help getting this somewhere

It uses part of the mods that put all nations in MA.. use LA for the space nations (only 2)

I actually didn't get it to work and somehow my dominions make me need to restart the comp after I quit it once per comp session (is something of last week, no idea why)

I think it's fixed now and will work though

TRY IT!!!

I need to remove indies from water provinces though.. any idea how to do that?

[Aezeal]

ow yes I shamelessly used sprites made by others for this with only very minimal changes ... but that was allowed for those unit sprites freeeware

[Darkwind]

It says that I need spacemap.rgb to use the map.

Just wondering, where can I find this spacemap.rgb?

Edit: Just realized it was in the download. I put the downloads in the wrong place, I guess I missed spacemap.rgb. D'oh.

Edit again: I started in a space province, because no provinces have any terrains attached. Is this intentional?

Third edit!: I couldn't open the recruitment screen because the Freighter unit or somesuch wasn't found.

[Aezeal]

ah well I'll correct that later then

in my attempts so far I didn't start in a space prov.. I tagged most of them as sea though.. which one did I forget?

I edited the freighter thingie.. upload again and try it now

no time to test it myself no since I need to get to my work

[Darkwind]

I just got the error again. It's

myloadmalloc: can't open ./mods/./Ulm in space/2622_Ulm_Freighter_1.tga

I think it's less about the unit and more about the sprite. Maybe you should just copy the Transport sprite?

[Aezeal]

which province was not good I can work on it a bit now

[HoneyBadger]

I just added some more sprites to the other thread, they should all be done by today.

Aezeal said:

I checked again, and the second time I used the map everything seems fine. I still can't open the recruitment without getting an error, but otherwise, everything's fine.

[Aezeal]

mine works fine now
I'll create a new thread for it though.. it'll be a bit lost here

[Darkwind]

I just finished what could be considered "Neoclidia Beta". It has a pretender, magic sites, enough units and commanders to be usable, and, well, not much more. I rushed a bit to get it to a point where it could be used for Aezeal's mod, so no summons yet (though you do have the priests and magi). I'd post this in Aezeal's thread for his map, but Aezeal's mod is still fun despite being somewhat incomplete, by the way, in my opinion (BTWIMO?). Great work on the graphics, HoneyBadger.

I also made a few new units, so Honeybadger's quite large list of "Sprites To Do For Darkwind" is now even larger (I don't mean to put such a load on you!):

#name "Elder One" (the Pretender God)
#descr "The Elder One is an Old One who refused to sleep. After aeons of wandering, the Elder One found Neoclidia and steered it towards awakening his brethren. Now, the Elder One plans to conquer the galaxy again, and make it as it was in the old times before lesser beings existed.

#name "War Shoggoth" (the better trampler)
