KhorneWorldEaters; vocal ideas

[Earwigger]

Catwell, i just saw those screenshots and you are one talented mofo. GREAT job, I can't wait to see this mod done.

[ChaosReigns]

Ah, sounds interesting Catwell!

Also, a while back you mentioned you were doing some randomized bitz (IIRC) for the World Eaters. Is this still the case?

[Catwell]

not randomized but universal bits are in use yup, as a sort of sprue

[mdcertainty]

I´ve found something cool again... i think :

The only thing i dislike is the Helmet.

[ChaosReigns]

Awesome artwork! Granted the helm is unorthodox, but still. Especially like the steam effects.

How are things coming along with the mod?

[tzeentch's_son]

im with chaosReigns here nice wrok and wats the status update on da mod?

[Catwell]

hi well atm its still stalled, for multiple reasons. im waiting for some rgds to see the newest units and my latest aim rig in game, to see if it works. plus ive got other things business wise ive been doing lately which take me an age to complete. so no news atm

[crazy_dave555]

ok catwell. thanks for the update.

[nuriel_xavier]

youve got a new aim rig? did you already give it to me and i forgot?

[Catwell]

yup its used on the beserkers, are the aims working on them? btw its the only thing i animated on them

[nuriel_xavier]

ah, ok. i think theyre working right, lemme check again

[Catwell]

hi all.
heres a staff advert
ok we need a ae coder(ala rgd rewriter), to do some simple rgds so we can preview stuff in game. no weaponry or tech tree stuff or complex rules. just so we can see that the unit is working correctly and its anims are working. pm me or write on this thread if your interested

[Avatar 720]

Am I right in thinking one of the units will be Kharn? Cos I freeking well hope so im nto prepared to go through 38 pages to find out though

[crazy_dave555]

nope no kharn.. as far as catwells previous statements have been.. maybe some guy that looks like him.. but as far as i know no..
[edit] catwell i remembered from earlier in this thread and other times you said you would if liked to implement like a blood resource or something akin to that for the world eaters but with the game engine as it is would be extremely difficult, now that the dark eldar and the sisters of battlte have there soul and faith resources respectively would it be possible to utilise the coding for it to implement a blood resource?

[John1918]

Indeed it would be interesting to see how modders will make use of the new "resources," I would imagine that it is mostly done by a flag within the unit's makeup that allows them to collect it...such as the flag allowing necrons to get back up.

Then again, I am mostly in it just for the blood.

[AshaD]

Actually resources can already be implemented in game, you don't have to wait for SS. Speak to Octo about it if your interested and look at his mod. Looks interesting. He's adding different resources for every faction. With chaos you have to sacrifice units to be able to make daemons. With orks you have to kill to get resources, so this is basically what your after.

[Catwell]

really, well this resource stuff could change everything, excellent.
oh the kwe starting ae post has been filled btw, so expect ss soon

[AshaD]

Indeed you can, take a look at Octo's R&D mod in this thread. Very interesting.

[ChaosReigns]

Any news?

[thudmeizer]

@CR.. come on man.. we all want our Khorne fill also but plezz.. let the KWE project team work as it should. I know Catwell should have an official website + forums so he could allievate questions like yours. All mod teams need an official site where they can discuss public and private correspondances.

[ChaosReigns]

Thudo, I don't see what the problem is. I'm not being rude, I'm not being demanding. Very simply I am asking if there is perhaps any news, I'm not requesting an update I am asking if there is one, it's a sign of interest. Besides what is this thread for if not to make shameless peeps in between updates! *laughs*

Perhaps I need to change my wording?

Are the modders on this forum really so pinched that they find that offensive? If so I suppose I'll have no choice but to shut my mouth, didn't Catwell say in the very first post though that he would reveal info about the mod based on interest? If so I can't see this sort of thing being a problem. That said I'm only human, despite being hideously mutated () and I do make mistakes, plenty too I might add, so if I'm wrong...well then I suppose it won't be the last time.

[thudmeizer]

Its the timeline between Catwell's last response here and your question: less than 3 days. Further, his last response should be enough to satisfy us all for a week and a bit anyway Thats why Catwell and all mod teams need their own place to organize their response/marketting with the public.

[ChaosReigns]

Oops, I missed that. Ah, I see the problem. Well fair enough, I suppose I need to get a little less berserk with excitement.

[Catwell]

and relax, theres no new news atm though. should be some soon once i send off the mod to our new pre coder

[AshaD]

But there is a forum thud, Check Catwell's sig.

[Catwell]

more news; ah darkelf has made some major progress after his hd viral crash, i should receive a new version of the mod in the next few days. things are moving again

[thudmeizer]

Superb news indeed. And AshaD.. Yep, knew that already.

[crazy_dave555]

hooray mod moving again is always welcome new my man. glad to hear it

[AshaD]

I know Catwell should have an official website + forums so he could allievate questions like yours.

Sorry thud I saw that and thought you were suggesting that he didn't have one.

[ChaosReigns]

Ah, good news indeed! Truly the Blood God smiles upon you Catwell!

[mdcertainty]

Yeah, great news. Rock on for the Blood God .

[nuriel_xavier]

got anything new for me catwell? perhaps a fix since i broke my copy again?

[Catwell]

sure ill send you the mod again lol. i dont have anything new for you atm, still waiting on other people.

[nuriel_xavier]

thanks. i really need to stop adding buildings...

[phaseshifter87]

So Catwell... is there any progress?

[darkelf]

I'm having some troubles getting some of our stuff ingame, bleeding game won't let me produce half the units

[thudmeizer]

Whats the exact problem? Surely someone here can assist in this matter as there is too much at stake with this insanely cool Khorne project. Perhaps ask one of the vets like Compiler to quickly consult with you. He is beyond more than capable.

[Catwell]

ok darkelf, ive passed the ae along to ironwarrior to see if he can help, hes got most of the issues fixed, except for a desynk event that happens when a certain building is built, ill pass the updated version to you once hes fixed the desynking.

[darkelf]

The problem is simply that half the units don't show up where they should ingame (ie, not at all). I'm fairly sure nothing is wrong in the code, since all other mistakes resulted in a crash on load. I'll have one final look through the code and then pass it on

[nuriel_xavier]

except for a desynk event that happens when a certain building is built

aha! it wasnt just me! the game was partly to blame!

jk, good to see you darkelf

[ChaosReigns]

Here's hoping that you guys are able to fix the problem soon, I'm dying for some Khornate madness!

[Mit Gas]

Yoho, that looks really great!

[darkelf]

Ok, forget I said anything regarding units not showing up (I simply forgot to update requirements )

[doom199]

i was streaming down the cooments and i saw aal the picture and wow your like a modding god thi is going to be a great mod i hope you make one of the iron warriors and death gurad because DAMN MAN YOU GOT LOTS OF SKILLS TO MAKE MORE MOD!!!!!!!!!! and if you can (make a tyranid mod my opion) lol stay koool

[Catwell]

cheers for the perky comments guys
news;
we have code, preliminary anyway, its a bit of an ae tangleweb but its a start. the lords in game, though his anims arnt working, the brass scorpions in game and is partially working, and the zerkers have disappeared ... ive been working on some buildings, i have a tablet now so ive been doing some tablet textures. so its all moving, kind of

[crazy_dave555]

sweet all movement is good movement my friend.

[ChaosReigns]

Good, good, I'm glad to hear things are moving again.

[phaseshifter87]

So about that Lord, Catwell? Is that him on the very front on the promotional picture at the base of the "Titan"??

[WiegrafFolles]

Keep it up man, this is my most anticipated mod after Witch Hunters. The art quality seems to be about on the same level, which is to say astounding. Can't wait to see how they play though. Bezerkers are my favourite Chaos unit but the horrible relic pathfinding often causes problems in using them. I can't wait to see if these play any better!

[nuriel_xavier]

Good, good, I'm glad to hear things are moving again.

not moving again, still moving. just more visible.

btw catwell, i got the lord to walk, now i just need to fix his melee.
