The ships are just too big.

The Kimon is a little monstrous, but how small can you make portable wormholes?

Anyway, I thought I'd share with you guys the Raiju Drop Tube. I use one of these on almost every map I play Darkstorm in. I was sick of my pods bouncing off enemy ships, getting blown up or crushed before I could even get the guy out, so here's the easy solution (Big GIF):

Test map to show the drop tube. Only draw back is the tube gets debris in it so maybe I'll do dig up whoever made those gauntlet modules with the self cleaning lasers and apply it here.

Oh, I meant that as to why the dropship holder is not working.

EDIT: You could always make a black hole module for the derbies.

Ah, so would I be able to dock the Kimon in a standard vanilla dropship dock if I made the dock larger?

And changed the lua.

beside me question to creator mode I ask permits to use modes as concept for making the models in play but more exactly add this side in play
(acquaintance of mine does MMORPG and this faction much approaches under style of the play)

p.s.
I from russia write through translator to apologize if write not understandable

Yeah, the dock might be coded to only accept specific drop ships. There might be other problems though. I haven't looked into it.


Not just that, but DarkStorm is the bleeding edge of this future technology. It WON'T arc.


They won't be able to pick up weapons, but at some point it'd be kinda cool if they did have some more abilities. They're not really intended for going indoors or underground though, and I don't intend them to be. So working as miners wouldn't be a great idea for them.

Probably once I can make the Kitsune as I want, it'll be a handy digger actor if you just buy it with nothing but its claws. In either case, you'll probably be able to outfit them with different weapons and support systems. And if there's ever water in CC, there'll be the Kappa to fill the same role aquatically. So you'll have land, air, and sea covered.

I'm starting to think I'll need to shift some names around in the future. Like call the Shogun armor Samurai armor instead, call the brain unit the Shogun (trust me, this makes way more sense), and rename the Tengu clone to something else as well, since a Tengu is specifically an aerial birdman type creature. Maybe I'll call it the Bushi clone... or something. Then I can call some other air-based thing the Tengu. Heck, if the Yosei becomes as variable as I plan to make the Kitsune, maybe I'll just call it the Tengu. It might even yield a re-design where it has wing-thrusters like the tengu/shogun jetpacks, rather than a rotor. I could just say that the rotor systems are required for larger, heavier things, and the Yosei (or Tengu) is light enough.

But that can wait until I start adding more units.


I'd probably do it like the PDS and have a weaker mobile unit and a more powerful stationary unit. I'll wait to put the effort into this when I can heal wounds, though.


No, but I'll hold off on making more bunker modules until I know I can make all of them. As in, regenerating modules. That won't happen until I can somehow generate non-scrap terrain.


Holy god that's epic. Maybe when I make bunker modules I'll make a more concise version of that.


Until I can understand exactly what you want to do, the answer is no.

Did you abandon that berserking idea you had for the shoguns?

It's coded only for DropShips.

That's a shame. I currently have Yosei's fly around inside my bunker modules (They're surprisingly versatile in there) and patrol. In one of your previous builds I loved the fact your turrets could pick up weapons if they landed right on top of them:



Understood. I wanted to make an infirmary type bunker module, and I liked the Ronin Nurse that Contrary was doing, but it seems to have been abandoned. A shame really. Medic drones are like paper.



So all of your modules are planned on being regenerating ones? Hah, I can Ypsilon my base over and over now!


Go for it. I'd love to see an "official Darlos" way of working around the Raiju's weak point, while at the same time giving you a good unique module idea. If you need someone to bounce module ideas off of, let me know. I play your mod too much. I'm growing Shogun's and Tengu's like Chia pets.

Oh, well, I'm probably not going to make them any larger than they are. Heck, they might even get more streamlined. I won't go out of my way to make them incapable of going inside, so don't worry too much.

Ok I should have been more clear but I thought it would be obvious that I clicked Download.



And yes there is a giant DL, along with two smaller areas that seem like good places to click for a download ("DarkStorm.rte.rar" and "Save to My Files"), which I selected but it didn't work which is why I wanted to know if I had to sign up for the service.

Anyways it must have just been a glitch with my laptop as I downloaded the .rar on another PC and emailed it to myself. So thanks anyways for assuming that I couldn't see the "giant download text". Next time I will try to be more specific about the issue.

Darlos: I think the Russian guy was asking something along the lines of permission to use your mod as a base to add more to. That, or to borrow parts from it and add on. I can't really tell because that may not be what he means- language translators are often fairly inaccurate because of the differences in languages' exact phrases and word meanings.

Well here's hoping he can understand "creative commons." Since that does a good job of setting down the rules.

Is it possible to add grappling hooks/claws yet?
