Panther, I don't even see why you visit these forums. It seems like to me you just come here, and regardless of the quality of the work, you grumble about how sad it is. You wanna know what's sad? You visiting these forums not to learn about modding or read the latest news in Renegade modding, but to express the same ignorant and meaningless opinion every time you open your goddamn mouth. I can't remember the last time you posted anything even remotely worth reading.

Seeing as how I hate Star Wars, I'm curious, is it supposed to look like it's made of plastic chunks?

So because they used something from the 1970s that looked like plastic and had little detail, they should stick to making things with little detail?

It's funny that you, who are admittedly NOT a Star Wars fan, and who probably haven't seen the movies in quite some time, are the first one to come after us about detail, among all these Star Wars fans.

Kind of like how you make all of your models exact to Red Alert's cinematics, even if they suck.

Sir Phoenixx

Looks alright, except that the skin lacks detail in general. For example, instead of making the black parts of the suit solid black, it should have seams, stitching, etc... Right now it just looks like a render of the white plastic parts floating in the air.


How about thinking about the fact that it does have detail but the render doesn't show it in the black parts? He's not half-assed where he would make them solid.

It was plastic in the films and thus it should be plastic in the games, so stop bitching

At the least, the renders of Red Alert are a lot more detailed than that horrible looking reference picture is. I honestly cannot see how people could even bear to watch Star Wars with that kind of five dollar costume being paraded around as "imperial soldiers," it's like the US Army sending in plastic tanks and playing Micro Machines instead of winning a war.

Aircraftkiller, are you hear to bash Star Wars or discuss our mod? In case you hadn't noticed, this isn't a Star Wars thread, this is a thread about our Storm Trooper model, which is accurate to the scifi-realistic Storm Trooper which appeared in the movies. MODERATION, ANYONE?

And my Tesla Coil, Turret, Pillbox, etc... All of those are true to the renders of Red Alert but you complained about lack of details on those and then go on and show this undetailed soldier? At the least make him look less plastic and more like he's wearing a real kind of battle armor instead of that stupid $5 costume Lucas shit out of his ass.

Starwars sucks ass. It's most stupid, none making sense movie on the entire planet. Stupid people with plastic tanks and planes, and smashing each other with damn flashlights or light swords whatever. Altrough I dislike every part of starwars, That starwars mod from htmlgod looks fine I think. I mean the models and textures and stuff Smile .

old star wars was good, not because of the effects, but because of the storyline. I hate the Episode 1 and 2, they are so goddamn boring. And i agree that html should make it true to the movie. If you dont then your just making up your own bullshit and it wont carry the authenticity that people will want in the mod.

I entirely agree with gbull. The old Star Wars movies were inspiring beacons of filming for their time, but the acting in these two new ones sucks.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

Take it up with Lucas, not the mod team.

Keep this up and the roving Warsies will drop in and start flame war. Episode 1 is fine, when taken for what it is, the script is passable and the acting is okay(it had Liam Neeson in it for pete's sake, he saved the damn thing)

Episode 2 is actually quite nice in the non-Anakin sequences. It's just when Darth Whiner shows up that it tanks and tanks hard. I cannot see that pathetic cretin(cret-in) become "You're Badass Master of Ceremonies to the fall of the 10,000+ year old Republic and the death of every last stinking Jedi in the place except for Yoda(cause we finally get to see why everyone in the Jedi call him master) and Obi Wan(for some unknown reason, perhaps a bit of weakness on Vader's part).


There was a time when people were impressed that I have the firepower to decimate a planet in under 10 minutes.

That's irrelevant to this thread.

Yoda is a master of the force, but actually Mace Windu is the strongest Jedi fighter (overall combo of strength, use of the force, and lightsaber skill). Windu could probably win a battle against Yoda, because he is actually better with the lightsaber, and Yoda would probably not resort to lame force attackes (like Dooku tried).

I've got a theory about Yoda. He's claiming disability benefits when he doesn't need to, that's what he has the flying chair and the walking stick, but when he needs to he can do all sorts of crazy shit.
