I don't know if you've noticed or not...

No..
I only swapped the artwork assests over.
All commanders are identical in power and speed stats, so changing the art has no affect on the game.
To enable the unit cannon it would be impossible, it needs game engine coding that most likely isn't implemented, and that is all server side modding too, i cant modify anything in the game engine until game server is released to the public.

What i can do..
Swap art from an unreleased unit for a unit that is in use..

Yes,, uber released the tools to do this with the game, the tools are papatrans and papadump.
It allows you to make custom units for the game, we have always been able to use custom art/designs for units since alpha, it just difficult to make units from nothing/scratch.

-edit-
we can only replace current units with custom art, and only the mod user see's the change other players will see the original unit and not the custom art your using.

This will change after release, we will be able to make additional units and customize the current ones, and everyone playing will see/get the changes in their game too, or that's what i'm assuming from all the information i have gathered so far.

Where could I find the tools? I want to try this a bit \^.^/
Is this like blender?
(Btw: I have no knowlegde with this all)

C:\Program Files (x86)\Planetary Annihilation\PA\bin_x64\tools <-- tools are in this folder..
C:\Program Files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\Planetary Annihilation\PA\bin_x64\tools <-- or here in steam version..

Attached as proper mod.
If you want maxpowerz I can add it to PAMM mod manager

I dont think it would be needed in the mod manager, im sure once uber release the tank it'll be redundant to use this mod.
It's really only a sneak peek style mod that shows you an art asset that will soon be added in game.

Adding it mod manager might make it easier for people to install tho, so i don't mind either way .. lol

Added to modmanager , look for TankCommander.
If uber release the tankcommander I'll remove it from pamm offcourse

Cool looking models, still think the comms of the same chassis look too similar though. Look forward to these being added, but the current 'classic' raptor is still my favourite!

I hope they will eventually make quad commanders omnidirectional. If their bodies can rotate 360 degrees on top of four symmetrical legs, there is really no reason to ever turn the legs around.

I really like the middle quad leg commander which looks like a crab. Could that one be added as a mod too (for now)?

Yes, I would like that one as well please.

Ok now im confuse!
Will we have moore Acus (Commanders) then units?

At some point maybe, but whats the problem?

Bump.

It's just an art thing Kalherine. It's basically just a skin.

Oh my ******* god almighty!.

Those commanders on treads THEY MAKE ME JELLY im absolutely in love with those.

I really hope they are gonna have a unique cool sound when driving around.

Now if only commanders had a unique ability, tank commanders could boost their speed by x% for x seconds.
commanders only legs could jump a distance.

Stuff like that

Short Circuit's' Johnny 5 is still alive lol first thought after seeing the last tank com

Looks like the crab commander doesn't have any of its json files included yet.

Oh well.

Dang. Too bad.
