[quote who="Demiansky" reply="21" id="2742146"]In regard to the OP, it isn't and it may or may not be. Obviously, I really, really want it to be, as would be evidenced by my persistent lurking of these forums. To tell you the truth, I sort of in a dazed and disillusioned state (that's how much I was looking forward to this game. Sad?) My greatest hope at the moment is that someone like Raven X will make a mod for the game that will be remarkable. The game so

[quote who="James009D" reply="5" id="2702109"] Lastly, I HIGHLY recommend not editing any core files and backing up your stuff before updating. Updates can sometimes "remove" modded files (including sovereigns) and core files will inevitably be editing during development. You can do almost anything with a new XML file placed in the "My Games/Elemental" directory.

[quote who="Tormy-" reply="23" id="2740496"]Awesome stuff! [/quote] [quote who="rancmiller" reply="24" id="2740502"]Sweet! [/quote] Glad you guys like it. The Mod has 11 downloads so far and rising :) . I'm glad to see people are liking it. This game has needed undead from the start ;)

[quote who="kyogre12" reply="106" id="2741478"]I'll update the list when I get back home and have my mouse (editing it is really annoying on a laptop without it) so just a short response: Quoting Raven X, reply 104 Oh, you should add Murteas Faction Editor to this list as well, man.

I agree with a lot of the replies here in part. Here's my take on an answer for the OP. I think when all is said and done Elemental will surpass MoM in every way. In some ways it already does, and in other ways it doesn't. The Magic system needs a Lot of work, as does balance and hooking up proper skills and abilities. Elemental also NEEDS to have a lot more variation on the amounts and kinds of Units in game. There needs to be a Lot More magical units, like Undead (see my Mod <a href

Oh, you should add Murteas Faction Editor to this list as well, man. It's here: https://forums.elementalgame.com/390184 .

Here's one I finished last night Kyogre. It's called "The Undead Rising" , https://forums.elementalgame.com/393516 . Please add it to the list of finished mods. It's a skin which lets players make Undead Sovs and Units. Enjoy :)

Only a partial update tonight. 3 whole pages of new ideas :) Nice. Karma coming for those who labeled their posts correctly. Also note a new catagory has been added. Post Release Suggestions: Well done everyone and keep those new ideas coming.

That looks seriously Awesome Civ!!! Well done brother. With as fast as you're picking up animations I don't think we'll have any problems animating units for the mod :) Well done, man.

[quote who="Barranoid" reply="21" id="2740373"]Yay that's the good stuff! Really like em. But I think I might wait until we have a chance to actually put in 3D model based undead into the game till I'll start playing with undead in MY Elemental [/quote] Thanks. You might be waiting a while on that one though. I got the skin looking as 3D as possible though so it works for now. I figured a "Skeleton" model would be something Elemental couldn't ship without. Even withou

All done everyone, DL at top of the page. Enjoy!!!

Here's the last update before I finish. Just some last minute screen tests. One of the arms and hands are done as well. Notice the hands. Finger bones for each finger so griping objects looks natural. The back side of the rib cage is hard to do and to get "just right" so I may save that for an update if I can't bring it together soon. <img src="http://i95.phot

[quote who="ferang" reply="9" id="2738850"]Hey raven i just got mine in the mail and noticed that you, annatar, kitkun, and others are mentioned in the credits... congrats [/quote] Thanks man, I made a post about it here on the general forums. Check it out I saw the Credits and... (A Special Thank You) . Thanks again

I got mine in the mail today :). The Map is Awesome!!! The Dragon...is a little smaller than I expected, but still very Very cool. Now I need to find a frame for the map and get it up on the wall. I left the Dragon in it's package because I think it will stay nicer that way (and maybe be worth more in 100 years). Anyway, it's here and the extras from the LE version are WAY WORTH IT!!!!

AI is probably THE most challenging aspect of any game to code/program. I truly don't envy Brad the job ahead of him, but, I'm greatly looking forward to the results of his efforts over the coming months. Granted, the best AI's are the ones who can pose a challenge without Cheating, but, I honestly don't think too many of us would mind having a AI that cheated just a little bit on the Hardest settings. I imagine right now the thing holding the AI back the most is that it doe

[quote who="Dr Franknfurter" reply="13" id="2739513"]very, very impressive already... I wonder... if you made an 'undead' ability... then use the magic editor for particle effects to make certain undead troops have special visual differences in tactical combat... like a dark mist around the feet or similar? just a thought +having some rusty or battered armour would look good, love the armoured skellie though so any armour would work [/quote] It's probably pretty easy t

I don't want to be responsible for any flawed skeletal half and halfs running around out there. lol. Oh, I just got a bad ass idea for my next version wh

Updated, thanks everyone :)

[quote who="Dr Franknfurter" reply="6" id="2739291"]more undead is always good! I assume the robes are required because it doesn't include ribs and things yet? not too much of a problem... Q: do hats/armour ruin/remove the effect? I'd love to have other types of undead with associated traits... ghosts, zombies and things... although I'm not sure if they would require a particle aura effect and 3D modelling skeletons and meshs to work best...add some white mist for ghosts + tr

[quote who="Randorama" reply="1" id="2739200"]Very cool! I love the undead. [/quote] Thanks :) [quote who="Rune_74" reply="2" id="2739209"] Quoting Randorama, reply 1 Very cool! I love the undead. That would make you a necrophyliac. [/quote] Correct. [quote who="the Gorgon" reply="3" id="2739210"]That pic looks awesome! Would be really cool with undead in the game. Great work! [/quote]

That did it Mormegil, thank you my friend :). Difing it in it's own XML stopped the DDS from over-riding it.

I'll give that a try. I didn't realize the DDS part, thank you :). To try to test it quickly I was just replacing the base texture so I wouldn't have to go through hooking it up in XML since the base file name was already hooked up. I'll try now and report back. Thanks for the help, Mormegil, I really appreciate it!! :) You guys rock man.

Ok, I'm working on some custom skins and I can't get my new one to show up in game and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've gotten skins to show up before so I know How to do it, including how to hook it up in the XML so the game will see it. I made some custom eyes and they show up just fine. Here's the pic I'm trying to make show up. I'm re-skinning one of the games Base Textures. <img src="http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/Raven_Xavier/F_Male_Default_Texture_01.png" alt=""
