I've been playing and modding startrek:armada1-2 for some time now till I came across this game and I would like to know a little about how you make new units as in what programs to use and if I need any plug-ins to convert to real-war's game format.

Also is someone could tells a little about a standard new unit that some of you have made like what the numbers stand for[ex.fuel,cost,build time .....} and if you can add new weapon graphics like a flame thrower or laser and so on.

Here's what I had in mind of making:

Railgun-fixed postion near base.

Artillery trailers- fixed,needs a special truck to move them.

Armed satelights-armed with a laser

Dirtbikes-armed with a machine gun

A-A Gun turret-fixed postion

Fortress-armed with all types of weapons

Mobile land air carrier-some thing like a over size flat bed that can hold and launh fighters or helicopters

Air Wing air fortress-same as above but with a slow moving air ship

Author: methos00 [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 23:16:41 07/11/02 Thu well I have the programs needed,but don't know how to set it up in the word part as in I don't know just how the numbers link to the units and such or the weapons and all. As for the L1 I've had some luck with it as a non playble unit without textures. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Heres what you do if you want to make units: Open C:/Programs/SimonandSusher/RealWar/data/missions. In your mission folder you should see files like miss66.mis. Open one of those files using WordPad and thats it! Then, once you get the feel of unit making, download the Mission Editor. You can find this on the frame at the left that says "Mission Editor."

I HATE YOU! Not really but its frustrating because i cant get mine to work. Hey, ive got a new unit idea: AH-6 Little Bird, so if you find a 3D file of that make it.

PS: New unit i made is on the Real War forum. A Delta Force ATV and a Ranger Truck Transport. Check it out! Also, you can post it on your site if you want.
