Description
A Yuuzhan Vong fleet in battle. (Yuuzhan Vong models from z3r0x). The big black rock is a Yorik-et hangar, one of the Vong's defensive structures.
dont do this
why? more Yuuzhan Vong is fine
Your mod looks excellent, the models look great! But there are so many Clone War and GCW mods, each with their own emphasis and style. Why can't that be true of the NJO era as well? I can't wait to play your expansion and the YVAW mod.
I think he made the same assumption I did, that you'd just taken everyones work without permission.
Ben waiting for a Vong mod forever
Don't waste your time coding units that you will soon replace. With all due respect to zerox, those models are of poor quality. Save your time.
By all means, create content that will replace Z3r0x's work.. and then I'll give you a free pass to insult people's work... calling someone's work poor quality without giving an actual critique is pointless and rude.
I go to a pizza place expecting decent pizza. Are you telling me I have no right to say the pizza is bad since I can't make pizza by myself? Get off your high horse.
Also, I remember I made a comment here. Was it deleted or was my internet at the time just ****?
who are you to give some sort of pass? I'm not insulting his work, but if you're insulted by the word "poor" then you should reevaluate your life.
As for the word "poor" not delivering any critique... I wasn't delivering any kind of critique, because I felt it is not necessary. His models are simple deformed sphere with a single flat rock texture.
Oh **** I didn't realize it was THE Enpremi.
darthmalgus The "Well, if it's so bad, why don't you make something better?" argument is a non-argument since it is a logical fallacy.
Aside from the fact that it is a non argument, he actually has done better. Check out his Vong mod. This makes the argument extra funny since it's not only invalid, but even when perceived as valid it's not applicable, since he already did the thing you asked him to do.
he did
Enpremi maybe you should offer to help Lego, I've seen you've done some work with Vong units... why not offer your assistance to make his work better instead of offering clearly unhelpful advice?
@isa005 Look. I barely have time to work on my Vong mod. I've helped the EAW modding community quite a bit since I've been a part of it, but this game is getting old and modding it becomes a waste of my time.
Plus, it is not my responsibility to instruct someone on his mod. I can give simple advice which to you may seem be unhelpful, but not everything is black and white.
Lastly, the issue with anyone being able to create their own mods is that it oversaturates the "modding market". He himself hasn't asked me personally for any help, besides the Vong models. You can't march in here and expect ppl to walk you through.
Enpremi I would greatly appreciate permission to use the models when you are able to release them. I like z3r0x's models, but they are old it is true, and there are only enough of them to sustain the basic core of a faction. I have plans to use the models to create some variants to pad out the Vong faction, but I already have a scout, a fighter squadron, a corvette, a frigate, a star cruiser, a star destroyer and the Kor Chokk grand cruiser in game , and working, using z3r0x's models. As other models become available (with permission) many of these will be augmented with new models or replaced. But until then, they are all in-game and functioning. I can now work on the New Republic faction, and upgrade the Vong faction later. I also have ideas for using some models in the base game and doing interesting things with them to use them for the Vong faction (especially on the ground).
As for the point about saturating the market, I believe all three of the Vong era mods will be offering something quite unique. It looks like yours will be skirmish focused (?), while the YVAW mod will focus on one, single, huge GC. I am not planning a skirmish mode for my mod (though may in the future), and am focusing on smaller, book-focused GCs and specific campaigns. So they will all be quite different. In any case, there are loads of Clone War mods which don't seem to detract from each other.
Enpremi I agree with Lego, and his logic makes sense. he is using the resources available for the first version of his mod, and if he keeps working, will eventually become better.
now, i understand that your mod and Burntstrobe's mod contain better models, and i get you don't like seeing poor models used, but unless you or Burnt give Lego your models, or someone else does, he really can't do much more.
as for "oversaturating the market" that is bullcrap, as only 1(?) vong mod is ready, and more are destined to follow. you can't stop it, so stop complaining, as it isn't true
I don't think a game getting old is a valid reason to think working on it is a waste of time. Just look at Doom, Open Transport Tycoon, Total Annihilation, Warcraft 3, Red Alert or Simcity 4. A game can be obsolete if a sequel or another similar game takes it's place by improving on it, but a good game can never be outdated. Some not so good games are on the other hand already outdated at their release. Absolute quality doesn't depend on release date.
EAW FOC mod page here is almost always among the top 5 most visited game pages. There are literally thousands of people watching/using your work.
Btw if you're both creating mods with similar premises, why don't you work together? Especially if Enpremi doesn't have enough time. It's not that difficult to coordinate.
nice
