Because Darkstorm sounds so original. Darklone was better.

Yeah, DarKlone sounded a lot better.

I miss it already...

The new stuff from the 6/2 update doesnt show up in the game, no drop pod or morter.

Your mortar raised the standard.

I like it.

Remove the * and / from the Index.ini.

I senteded u a sniper rifle.. could you at least tell me if it sucked or not?

The drop pod is gold colored, is it supposed to be? Also, I like Darklones better, at least I knew what to call them. What are the soldiers called now, anyway? I can't guess the "C" in "DSC".

The pod isn't gold, it's yellow hot. "C" must mean clone.

WHOOPS. Fixed. I need to stop doing that.


Dark soldier? Well, a major logical problem with the old name is that it focused too much on the clones. Calling the turrets "DarKlone Drones" or something just sounds wonky. It makes you think they're... clones. I needed a better catch-all name for the faction so I could slap it onto anything I made without it being akward.

Also, I'm rather proud of the meaning behind the new name. See, the first kanji means "dark." But it can also mean "secret" or "hidden." Works well for their (eventual) covert focus. As for the storm part, I chose that because they seem to have a healthy handful of electrical weapons, which will only expand in the future. Like, the drop pod actually started off as a teleportation system where the cargo appears where a huge bolt of lightning strikes. I couldn't really get that to work well, so instead I made the drop pod. I'll try to go back to that idea in the future, as I think it would be quite badass. Also, when I make their cloaking field and energy shield accessories in B21, those will both be electromagnetic in some manner.

So, thats my full explaination as to why the name is changed. If you don't like it because you were used to the old one, learn to live with change, because I'm not going back. Most people with opinions I respect agree that "DarKlone" sounds pretty cheesy, and I'd like my faction to have a name that matches the severity of their appearance.


Did somebody hijack NeoSeeker's account? I got a retarded message from him too, as he just implied.

It's gold-colored in-game because it just came crashing through the atmosphere and is glowing from the heat. The pic in the first post is a picture of one before being launched out of a cannon.

Also, the C stands for "Clone." I guess I only really made that apparent in Unit.txt. I should fix that...

I assumed that, that's why I said "gold colored" not "gold". I thought I was wrong, however, when I saw the picture of it in the topic.

EDIT: You're right about DarkStorm vs. Darklone. I don't think Darklone sounds cheesy, but DarkStorm does apply to more than just the clones.

You should make a Storm Turret. It would basically be a giant turret that shots storms.

I actually was desperately trying to go to sleep, so i chugged a whole bottle of nyquil and made the rifle before i passed out....

Doing that was not the smartest idea at the time either. But I don't think the gun is one of my worst creations (well, a bricolage of YOUR creations and some offset tweaking, which was particularly painful) So i wouldn't dismiss it just because i was high at the time of its conception.

This made me lol.


Well, alright then...

DarkStorm?
Hm.......
I find the new name pretty odd.
But, it's your mod. I respect your choice.
But we can still call the clones, DarKlones, right?


PS: I assume I can ask this now, seeing that your mod, and sig is all japanese-ified.
Are you Japanese?

So did my crack baby turn out all right?
