The Xenoforce Reborn mod takes the classic Xenoforce mod from CNC Generals and re-invisions it on the CNC3 engine with new units and new designs. The new armies that are currently scheduled to be in the mod are the Earth Federation, ZEON, the Invid, and the Earth Robotech Defense Force. We also have heavily modified the original CNC3 armies, giving the GDI, NOD, and Scrin a much more dynamic gameplay experience. This mod is NOT FOR PROFIT and NON-commercial based.
So while we have been working on updates and changes one thing that became obvious to me was that the description system still wasn't right. Here is a pic of the new setup I came up with, it not only is less text to look at but it gives more information to the player. What do you guys think?
Why does it have 2 armor types?
brobebly front\rear armor or upgraded and stock armor.
Actually it has 2 armor types because we're trying a new design out for vehicles.
Some vehicles like GDI Tanks will have a Frame armor and a Plate armor. Some plate armor is better against certain types of weapon types than others, so for example if you have a vehicle like the Predator Tank it is built on a Steel Frame and has its main armor based on Titanium Plate. Titanium Plate is useful vrs kenetic weapons which is why you see it saying K40%, or it will reduce the damage from kenetic weapons by 40% when applied to it. Further more Titanium Plate will take 100% damage from Kenetic and Heat weapons but only 50% damage from Energy weapons, the other 50% bleeding through to the main frame.
You could look at it as a fancy way of explaining why these units will now have a "shield" bar if you want. I do want to point out though that it's not just a shield.
Units that use the Frame/Plate armor most plate armor has a weakness, be it able to be quickly destroyed by heat based weapons (fire / plasma), only partially effective against energy weapons (Lasers, Beams, Lances, Rail), or a combination of the two. Mobile Suits will use a Armor / Shield system (showing that the shield is useful for something, not just there for show. We're going to be looking at going forward with the shield on a unit maybe being destroyed on the model when the shield is destroyed) or Carapace / Energy Shield for Scrin which will have the Shield being very powerful but the Carapace behind it squishy.
Some lighter vehicles (Pitbulls for example) will only have a frame armor, no plate.
Let me know as soon as you're done carrying over the O3 changes into the Reborn version 9F, ok?
lol will do. It will be a few months as the next real release isn't going to be 9F, it's going to be 0.10A and is supposed to have all of the EF in it (UC / AW / and SEED)
