That my friend is a real problem xd. I can't help you with that:s. Maybe the easiest way is to modify the commanders but it is a really cheap way. I think summoning @DeathByDenim or @wondible may help. What do you think guys?
[QUObT ="KillerKiwiJuice, post: 1092379, member:the70458"] yeah i edited the post [/QUOTE] I've been thinking. Wouldn't that method make the Ai unable to use the uber faction? Cause if you remember it would use the files of your computer. The same goes for multiplayer. Maybe just choosing a brand of commander to use the faction only units would be better. Don't know maybe someone knows how to solve that. EDIT: May I be getting wrong the Porpouse of the mod. Is this supposed to make you chose between factions and make impossible for battling one with yours and the other person with the uber one, or the more fun and logical way of being able to use both at the same tiem? @nicb1 @KillerKiwiJuice

Edit: Grumble quotes are broken again.
A little ingame sneak peak at one of the units from the new faction (Yes we have a name will reveal it soon). The Deathmark T2 Sniper tank side by side with a vanilla T2 Leveller. Style is slightly different from your vanilla units. (Thank Mgmetal13 in this instance for the awesome texture work).
Whilst it does have some completely new stuff, we may have swapped around a thing or two. The only other swap is giving T1 bots AA.
Wow guys awesome work. Send me a message when you do unit files and balance to help you. One question, why are the edges so glowy?
Yeah its just the way the textures were done (This is WIP). The edges will likely be toned down quite a bit in the near future. Glad you like our work though
I quite like the 'glowy' edges... makes it feel different from the vanilla units... a bit 'tron' like actually (just need to pick black and neon blue for the colours)
Haha yeah thats exactly what our concept artist @Crembels said to me. I'm still debating about it, I do like the lines to some extent, but at the same time im not sure if its just going to stand out too much in comparison to the vanilla PA units where it feels like they belong to a game with a diff artstyle. So not sure whats going to happen with the lines, may stay as is, be toned down a bit or gotten rid of. Depends on what the rest of the team and you guys say. I'm at the moment for toning them down a bit so they are still there, just not as prevalent as they are now.

Rethinking my statement I'm starting to like rhe glowy edges maybe doing them a little more discrit would be a good idea
Just wanted to let you guys know that we are still alive and well. Progress is coming along really nicely. I will be starting a proper thread for this mod soon enough, but in the mean time I thought I'd show you guys a model which I just completed. (Not showing some of the other stuff I've gotten done and ingame lately as I want to keep a few things a surprise.) EDIT: You guys should be able to tell what this model is for EDIT2: And here's a concept piece by our artist @Crembels for the orbital fabber.
I know what the first image is... it's an electro unit catapult, you order a unit into it, pull it back against an energy field then release and watch it hurtle across the system and into deep space. After lots of practice you should be able to get it to slam into a planet (which destroys the unit in a fiery ball of doom). Eventually with even more practice you get to the point where you can land the units gracefully, 1 at a time on another planets surface. Note as practice as a unit cannon but fun none the less Edit: I wonder what @Crembels was doing when he came up with the concept for that fabber.... actually on second thoughts I probably *don't* want an answer to that! Seriously though it looks cool
Legion Orbital Fabrication Bot? Is that just the name of the unit or do we have the name for the faction
