Staredit Network

As you may have seen from mods in production, im making a mod. However i tried my hand at making GRPs, and it really did not go well, so it is with a heavy sigh that i admit that it is one of the few things in the SC world i have no talent for.

So, SEN being the lovely place it is, gave me a smile. No, i dont always see a smiley where the planet is, but the drugs help.

Im bringing this topic back, because ive gotten back into my mod alot, and i still need some GRP artists to help me out, as said before any help will be greatly appreicated.

Anyway what id like:
---Terran:
-Units:
A marine that shoots from a side step stradle kind of stance.
A firebat thats less bulky and looks like it has 2 submachine guns instead of a flame thrower.
A ghost that looks like heavy infantry, using a heavy rifle.
The uberest tank ever. Seriously. The tank for this mod needs to look absolutely killer.


---Protoss
-Units:
An arbiter/scout mix. I made the arbiter very fighter-ish, so i want it to reflect that.
A carrier that fits the protoss colors, but looks like a runway with wings, some type of hub at the back end of it where the engines are.
A dragoon with a rotating cannon protruding from center, since the dragoon in this mod fires very rapidly.
Zealots that look smoother basicly, like an uncloaked dark templar. (Is an uncloaked DT possible for a GRP?)
Dark Templars that are kind of like the marines above, but they have a small ranged laser. Just a change in their stance and weapon would help.
-Buildings
The only protoss building i need to change is the photon cannon. All i really need is the current Photon cannon but instead of popping up, a long barreled cannon is placed on top, which it fires from.

---Zerg
-Units
Zerglings, i need them to look kind of like a zealot on all fours. Not picky about this one, and its not high on my list of things to make this a good mod.
Hydralisk, id like to see some blend of it with lurker legs, as i think that would look rather nice.
Lurkers, important on my to do list is the lurker. i need it to look basicly how it is, but i want it to be a bit further off the ground, supported by its long clawed legs, and have two main arms from which it attack comes.
-Buildings
Id like a replacement for the Extractor, Hatchery, and Hydralisk Den. Im not picky at all about these and ive seen a few people on the forums who are amazing with Zerg buildings, so i dont think this is a problem.


Anyone who helps me out on this will be given due credit. I dont expect to get all of this, as i know GRP modding is pretty difficult and not many people have the skills to do it. But i will be greatful for any contributions made.

So you want people to make grps? I wouldnt expect to get any unless your gonna pay for them

Nonesense Lakai. I saw another thread where fellow modders where helping out for no type of compensation. And i know i may or may not get some nice GRPs for this mod. The fact is i cant do them myself, so i gave it a shot. Trying doesnt hurt.

Yes, but DoA is popular and we all know the faster his mod is done the sooner public Firegraft is released.

Agreed, however as stated above, it doesnt hurt to try. Weather or not i get the GRPs doesnt effect when i finish the mod, it only determines whats in that finished product. GRPs or not, im determined to make a good mod, but GRPs would make it better.

Id love to help with the terran buildings.

AHAHAH who needs public when your a tester . (Iwant it just as bad as you do, he disabled saving )
Just to let you know the thing for the firebat would require Iscript editing.

Heh, the sooner FireGraft is finished, the sooner I can have SCMLoader support its patches.

I hadn't written it in the version you had. That version was just a show-the-interface version I would have let anyone who asked have.


BTW, I have a suggestion to make this a bit easier if nobody decides to do any of the buildings.

Since you have your designs for the buildings, you could screen-shot them and then copy/paste them, delete extra things by adding black, and then convert them to the palettes. I mean, it'd be a bit blockier than actually blending them cleanly by editing, but if worse comes to worse, you can do it that way. This really is only a good thing for buildings where you need like 1 or 2 frames...after that...I wouldn't do it.

@Raidmax
Thanks man, show me whatever you can throw together.
@DoA
Thanks for the tip on the buildings. Im honestly not happy with the stacked designs i did, but as said theyre just prototypes showing off the specific pieces of terran buildings that i like. Armory spikes, Depot fans, Comm Tower's Antenna thing, just so it gives anyone making a GRP for me a basic idea.

The mod is back and being worked on, any GRP artists willing to help?

Hey, sorry for not being able to help last time, I had account troubles, but I can help now if I can find the time.

All right thanks.
At this point i really need infantry/buildings done, so let me know if you get anything done for me, i really appreciate it.

Do you need any terran buildings done? I specialize in that. Some of the units you want may be pretty hard to make, but ill see that I can do.

I could use a new bunker, barracks, acadamy, missle turret, and starport. Take your pick.

I dont know the theme of your mod that much, so anything will do? For the starport, tell me if you like this [attachmentid=22834] by the way, it has the shadow and construction animation too. (all go under unit\terran\)

interesting, i kinda like it, but it needs something a bit more, maby a hangar door on the side??

Yea, I agree with kookster. Could you put like a intsallation pit door over the side?

K, I agree also, hmm... The installation door is too big, I was maybe thinking extended refinery/CC door?

Whatever works man, as long as it looks cool. Also i notice the back edge, where it rounds off to form the pad is a little rough, anything you can do?

could always crop and make your own neew door

Yeah, Ill work on it tommorow, I have homework to do right now, but ill see what I can do.
