EX MACHINA
Download here: [attachmentid=21156]

A mod for Starcraft 1.12b

CURRENT VERSION: 1.0.5 IF YOU HAVE AN EARLIER VERSION, PLEASE UPDATE. WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.



Well, we can't let Voy and Ermac hog all the attention, can we? tongue.gif

This is Ex Machina, my contribution to the Summer Modding Contest. I'll spill a few of the tastier tidbits for you to gnaw on:

--All three races unite. Once you gain access to the Origin Needle, every unit in the game can be yours to command.

--Not one, two, three, or even four new units make an appearance...SEVEN (count 'em!) SEVEN new units pop up! The aforementioned Origin Needle and Gamme x Beta Raider are the least sophisticated of them. Wait till you see:

--New tech tree area: the mighty Guardia branch! The Origin Needle enables the Guardia Catalysts, which can build the Guardian's Spire in addition to providing supply for the Guardia-rank units. These three units each require buildings from two tech trees and cost 100 Guardia Memory of space. But the Archangel, Avatar, and Regent aren't the type of things you'd like to meet in a dark alley.

I'm not releasing to the public until judging is over. In the meantime, have these screenies. Enjoy!

The Guardia Archangel in all its glory:

The Avatar:

The Avatar's Energy Mine. 200 energy, but, boy, does it go boom!
[attachmentid=20967]

FLYING BARRACKS? OMGWTFBBQ?
[attachmentid=20968]

The Protochrysalis--your one-stop shop for every Zerg unit:
[attachmentid=20969]

The Gateway with its myriad buttons:
[attachmentid=20970]

The Guardian's Spire:
[attachmentid=20971]

I love the smell of napalm in the morning:
[attachmentid=20972]

The Origin Needle in its splendor:
[attachmentid=20973]

The Regent and its Paramines--little suckers that lock down the first enemy that touches them:
[attachmentid=20975]
[attachmentid=20974]

BE REPAIRED!
[attachmentid=20976]

SECOND WAVE OF SCREENIES:

Almost forgot this! Guess what it is:
[attachmentid=21008]

OMG HAX TEMPLAR ZEALOTS:
[attachmentid=21009]

Some Zerg defense...err...getting owned:
[attachmentid=21010]

Zerg vs. Terran going at it:
[attachmentid=21011]
[attachmentid=21017]

Killer Ultralisks shooting their machine/laser guns:
[attachmentid=21012]

Stress relief for Zealots. I love the new idle animations:
[attachmentid=21013]

Hardcore bomber Dropships:
[attachmentid=21014]

The Lurker's new ability-Earth Breaker:
1) Looks nasty...
[attachmentid=21015]
2) PWNED!
[attachmentid=21016]

A couple more screenies:

That's just a bit scary...
[attachmentid=21045]

What they do, however, is REALLY scary:
[attachmentid=21046]

And two more:
Wow! An actual battle! Guess who won that skirmish:
[attachmentid=21115]

Stupid Peregrines. Have some laser!
[attachmentid=21116]

And that's all, folks, until Enterprise and Corbo have finished dissecting the poor thing.

Voy's getting first, Lord's getting second, and the rest I don't know. I can only hope for third, but I doubt it. Atleast there is a consolation prize smile.gif

All these graphics look extremely familiar...did you make these or get them off of another mod?

There was some mod a while back with flying buildings, and as far as I can remember, that's exactly what they looked like... (just re-colored tongue.gif )

Well, the flying buildings are really just playing various frame numbers of the regular graphics. All the rest are brand new--the Archangel, Origin Needle, and Geoses (the green, blue, and red hemishperes) were made, by me, in GMAX. Really. I didn't steal anything. I'm not faulting you, though, for your suspicion--graphics are hard to make/find.

Okay, I just thought I recognized them from screenshots of a weird pokemon/nintendo/??? mod. tongue.gif

Sorry for the accusations.

That is true. You would. Didn't he ask you to not release it yet, though? That'd be kind of annoying for the rest of us...

Sorry ><

My hopes are dashed. I'll be lucky to get fourth.

I should probably rename DuckyCraft to MissleCraft, due to the high number of missles I've sent flying.

WOW looks WOW and some more wow and stuff. My point is it looks great. So your meaning to tell me that its done and u cant release it yet? WTFZ0RZ? OMGZ0RZ? omg i cant wait gimme it fast...
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Lord_Agamemnon(MM) on 2006-09-19 at 21:40:07
So...yeah.

I'd hazard a guess that we've forgotten about EM, since Voy and Ermac have got flashy trailers and stuff. And they're 100x more famous than me. And whatnot. (Nottoinsultourmostreveredmembersofcourse...) lookaround.gif

ANYWAY.

There are NEW SCREENIES! in the first post. They show some of the units in action and are something to behold. Due to technical problems, I can't make a video, but still. Screenshots are better than nothing. So enjoy, and wait for the release. Pester Enterprise and Corbo if you want it sooner. tongue.gif

I've made a slightly newer version. A couple strings are fixed, and nukes are now terror-inspiring Fusion Cores. Check out the screens of them on the first page. This one won't be judged as such, but it will hopefully be the version that's released.
