[WIP][Server] Imperial Legion (Faction)

Is it a beam weapon with a firing arc of 180 x 90 y?

I'm not sure how you'd fit it into the energy system. @jables if there was one hook I'd want you guys to implement, it would be a way of requiring that a weapon reload before firing again once its ammo is empty that doesn't require carpet fire so that the entire ammo supply is depleted when a skitter enters into view.

I basically copied the sniper bot tool. I'll test some stuff though

Set turn rate to 0 on the weapon, but set a firing arc pitch of 90 and a firing arc yaw of 180 and there should be less lag if you crank the ROF up to something crazy like 100.

I think the aim bone is what's messing it up. Unfortunately I have no idea what a good aim bone would be. I'll ask zx0.

If you have a firing arc of what I put above then aim bone doesn't matter. The code I'm suggesting using makes it fire without aiming. Using this code with a ballastic, seeking, or staged projectile would make it fire from the muzzle bone and probably hit nothing, but because we're using a beam it always hits its target instantly.

See the pull request I just submitted.

Just tried it, doesn't work.

It's still super unreliable.

This mod already looks awesome!

Guess I'll keep my eye on this

I know we've been quiet for a while so here's a quick preview of some stuff that's being worked on. Have @Alpha2546 to thank for the great fx work here.

so cool! so, just a question, do the commanders all look different when compared to their vanilla counter parts or do some look similar to them?

The legion commanders will look different, but similar to vanilla commanders.

Aeson looking one? Just a question... will there be any tank like comms?

Well, there's Rockteeth, which is big and mean and it's got a Gatling Gun as it's thing.

I have to say though, the more I see of this mod, the more I become interested. this mod looks really interesting with its unique structures and buildings along with the lore that you guys have put behind it.

the 16sec video is like a porno dudes !!!!!
when the day comes, that we can download it......
it will change the history of pa/pat DDDDD
so do on ! really really great work

I must say your art is the most professional PA mod work I have seen. Looking forward to this mod.

I really think this is the mod PA needs... The main risk will be balancing it fairly against vanilla with the high degree of differentiation between the two factions.

I'm curious if you guys have decided on an ethos for the legion compared to base? Are you going for a 'core' approach of slow but sturdy (as base faction is very mobile but lightly armoured atm), or are you looking at something else entirely?

Heheh its actually specified at the first post.

to requote the excellent and fun story Nicb posted

Lol, my memory is rubbish, I have read all that before Thanks for the reminder- so essentially 'Core' to vanilla's 'ARM'

Edit: I should like the legion- I've been a life long TA 'Core' player

I must say, this mod is the best I have seen on the forums, keep up the good work guys, but there is something that I think would be cool, is there a way of making a huge gate where you can send a titan through? it was a concept I had since playing titans, but it seems a little OP, thoughts?
