[WIP] The Realm Community Balance Mod

Meanwhile...



Credits go to KNight for the model and Nanolathe for the texture.

Is that ... some kind of bulldozer ?
Looks very cool

It's to replace the Vanguard so that we can continue with the WYSIWUG theme.

It's awesome, but hilarious at the same time.

Good work you two.

Looks awesome

Shouldn't really downplay MadSci and Liquius' coding and compiling to put it in game

It's a replacement for Uber's Vanguard Model, it didn't properly represent the key features of our version and I am a very strong believe of form informing about function, and given how our Vanguard is a big tanky block of metal with what amounts to a light machine gun thrown on top we needed something that looked the part. So I went with focused on BIG details instead of smaller ones to help make it look robust and a small turret up near the front and we have what we see before you. The Bulldozer blade serves double duty, both helping to show just how big and tough it is while also giving us some neat options to try messing around with in the future.

Hehe, sorry, great work all of you. Happy?

Well to be honest, I didn't have much to do with the Vanguard, or the mod lately. I've been busy with exams.

When I try to install the mod in PAMM it says "Failed to install 'com.pa.realmmods.rebalance', An unexpected error occured during the download: Not Found.". The UI mod installs fine, its the server mod that has issues. Not sure what is wrong.

Some people have this, some people don't from what I've heard. I don't have this myself and I have no idea what the cause is.

You can do a direct download: https://github.com/cwarner7264/real...AMM_releases/com.pa.realmmods.rebalancev7.zip

Unzip that into %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Uber Entertainment\Planetary Annnihilation\server_mods and enable it in PAMM.

Thats odd, it was working fine for me just now. Is it still a problem?

Still a problem so I did the file moving and that worked fine

Hey just a quick question for using the mod.
Do we have to 'enable' the mod some where on the pamm as i cant see a button to do so or is it always activated and i just need to join the correct modded game?

Go to the server mods tab on PAMM. Click on the mod to activate/deactivate. A blue dot signifies that it's active.

To play, you just host a game. People who join will automatically download any server mods that are running. Also if you play vs. any AI, ramp the difficulty up otherwise they won't do anything.

A WIP texture. Any suggestions?

I like it. Seems consistent.

What's the unit/what's it do?

Advanced Long-range high damage single target AA turret.

This is probably a really stupid question, but is it at all possible for this mod to work in Galactic War at some point? I would really like this balance (and the icons) there too

Maybe this is a general issue altogether, because either mods work locally or server based (I don't really get why we even have that differentiation), but why not both? Is this a lot of work internally?
