I was playing Tales of a Mercenary and I saw the ugnaughts with the con-rifles, how do i put enameys with different weapons...

You don't know how much I wish there was a tutorial that very clearly explains that process. I mean a "Dummies Guide To"...

Hopefully, MikeC will show up shortly to enlighten us.

Hi! There are different methods you can use. Here's what I do (also how Gonk made his enemy packs). Find an already existing enemy (stormtrooper, imperial officer, etc) that is similar to the one you want to make. Then extract and open that 3do and change the mats on it. You may also have to modify other files (cog, snd, etc) to get just what you want.

Is there any particular enemy you want made?

supposing you have a different 3do, what do you then

It is very difficult to do without messing up the Key files. Then you'll get a writhing glob of angry mats.

I already do/have done that... I'm talking about the whole node hierarchy bit. Suppose I have a new weapon I want to give to a stormie? Or just to give him a conc rifle?

I doubt that's how you did the Rebel Repeater. For Strike Force!, I tried the 'change mats' method using the Imp Commando 3do. I ended up with rebels that were wearing miniskirts. Suffice it to say, that's not what I had in mind...

Actually, that's exactly how I did the rebel commando with repeater.

If you want to make an enemy from another 3do, you might have to do some key editing to get it to work right.

Thanks you lot, now i'll go and try these methods, then come back with more questions because always things go wrong.What i'm trying to make is a Stormtrooper with a bowcaster and a Rodian with mines. If anyone has any of these please say so...

enemies can't have mines

Well in that case howcome in Tales of a Mercenary Boba Fett has them, or is that just a trick..

Somehow I don't think stormtroopers would use bowcasters. Not to mention the fact that I don't think the stormie mats will fit on the tusken model very well.

ahh, Stormies with bowcasters for a cutscene where they stun a guy named Tanner

But there's a way to get Kyle's Bowcaster/hand mesh to fit on a Stormtroopers arm though!

If you use the mp stormie skin and do some copy and paste work.

Well I've got to try it, copy kyles hand, paste it on a stormies, copy a bowcaster, put it in my stormies hand, it should work.
Now do have to go into Con man and find the 3dos?? I'll try it....I hope I'm doing it the correct way, if not please say so and stop this Stormie asking questions!

------------------
Stormie

What I did (when I gave a stormie a conc) was to snatch the "weapon" info from Bossk, and paste it over the blaster for the stormie, then I added the conc textures to the end of the stormy's list, and edited what textures were referred to in the weapon mesh. Easy.

URGENT, Because i'm getting a new pc in my bedroom to replace my old one where I make my lvls (then I use a floppy to transfere the lvl to this pc where I submit it..)I need to get my lvl finished within one week, so I need a site where you can get enemys with different weapons, can someone please tell me some sites..

Stormie

help!!

What enemies in particular are you looking for?

There are several here at Massassi in Gonk's Enemies packs as well as a few others. There are also a few available at my web site (link in the sig).

Thanks Matt. Finally, somebody willing to talk.

Hey Stormie, get a simple web account like Xoom, etc. Upload your stuff there, get your new PC setup, and d'l it to the new PC.

Do I go into Con Man and extract my 3do I want to edit there? The reason I can't find out is that I'm spending all my time on the archetexture and detail.

------------------
Stormie

abyone??

Go into Conman and extract the stormtrooper enemy 3do and extract the tusken w/bowcaster 3do. Use a text editor to open the tusken 3do. Take the info on the bowcaster and copy it. Then open up the stormie and delete the info on its weapon and replace it with the info from the bowcaster. Then replace the stormie weapon mats with the bowcaster mats.(at top of page) Then look for weapon mesh info and replace the weapon mesh textures with the bowcaster ones.

Rhettman, commandos always wear miniskirts, its pretty much masked because of the texturing.

Stormie, that was a trick, i think A.K Piggot
made proximity mines appear next to boba fett.

thamks, that was exactly what I needed
