Re: Terran Trade Confederation
Kind of, I got the new computer to work (was having trouble on that end) and found that I didn't much care for Windows 8 and that's about as far as I got. I still need to download all my programs and I should be able to get to it this weekend. I thought that I would get it all set up last weekend, but I forgot that we were visiting with family all weekend so I just haven't had the time. I've been doing all these new build still on my old computer...Last_Jedi_Standing wrote:Any luck?Laserbilly wrote:Thanks, but unfortunately I'm still unable to upload anything from my computer to my Dropbox.

Also, is there anything wrong with the forum this morning? It's loading really slowly....

As usual, damn good quality...
(gotta get the world file of that cruiser from my friend to do some work on it and restart shipbuilding... well, at least after the mods I wanna use are out... (yes, I use mods, as I see this as a training for building ships with FC, which is a mod.))

I'm pretty sure we all use mods as building aids on the bigger projects. Because who wants to build the same section over and over again when they could just build it once and copy and paste it!Ivan2006 wrote:As usual, damn good quality...

@ Vinyl
Brown (wood) was the only one I was pretty sure I wouldn't pick. If five or six more people agree then I would have gone with it. But not now...
@ hyperlite
Thanks!
@ Blockman
I'll take that as a strange complement, thank you. Also, you're profile pic is FREAKING AMAZING!!!

Re: Terran Trade Confederation
If you're looking to make mobile infantry, use iron blocks, stone stairs, stone half slabs, nether fence for hands, and either a Steve head or a skeleton head, I can post you a picture of an example if you want.Laserbilly wrote:Also, I'm trying to make the infantry for my Mobile Infantry and I'm not sure exactly how to go about representing them....
Should I just stack a stair, a block and a half-block (for the feet, torso, and head, respectively), and call it done. I think en-mass they wouldn't look too bad. Or should I use a mob mod?
I think the Armor Stand mod would be ideal, but for some reason I'm having trouble making it work... Are there any mods that insert a mob that can just stand still in ranks for a pretty parade photo?? The mob skins don't matter too much, I can always re-skin them...
This works well but they are a bit big, but they can look cool and you can do more with them

Re: Terran Trade Confederation
Thanks! I hadn't thought of fences for arms, that's a really good idea! I don't want them to be 3 meters tall though, so I'll probably just go with a half-block for the head...Prototype wrote:If you're looking to make mobile infantry, use iron blocks, stone stairs, stone half slabs, nether fence for hands, and either a Steve head or a skeleton head, I can post you a picture of an example if you want.Laserbilly wrote:Also, I'm trying to make the infantry for my Mobile Infantry and I'm not sure exactly how to go about representing them....

Re: Terran Trade Confederation
How about instead of a half block, you could maybe re skin one of the head blocks, that might look better as a head but u don't know because I don't know what the body will look like.

Re: Terran Trade Confederation
I very highly recommend Noppes's NPCs mod. It's perfect for that. You spawn NPCs that look however you want them to, with a ton of model options, and any skin you can think of to add. They can be as big or small as you want, and they can sit, stand, walk, dance, crouch, lie down, or whatever you want. It's an incredibly awesome tool, and pretty easy to learn how to use. Armor stand is great too, but you can only have a couple of different units at once, and all they can do is stand there stiffly. Noppes's NPCs lets you do virtually anything, up to and including make soldiers that actually work as infantry in-game. It's awesome.

Re: Terran Trade Confederation
Thanks LJS! That looks like it will be perfect for up to battalion sized photos! And I can just make one or two models that I like and copy and paste them! I might do the other ideas for the larger scale set-pieces too!Last_Jedi_Standing wrote:I very highly recommend Noppes's NPCs mod. It's perfect for that.
