I've been working on an Imperial Guard mod.
So far I have:

• Working Lasgun, With a working Bayonet
• Working Laspistol
• Just a guardsmen head
• Grenade Launcher sprites
• Flamer sprites
• Hand Flamer Sprites
• Krak and Hand grenades are done
• Autopistol sprites

If anyone could offer some advice about spriting the actual guardsmen that would be great.

Oh and by the way, feel free to contribute anything: code, sprites, ideas
Seriously, if anyone who can sprite wants to help me with the sprites I would be much obliged

TOO-LATE

Yeah, i saw this one and I didn't really like the way the guard felt, so I'm gonna try to do my take on it. The way I see it is that you should be able to swarm with the IG, so I'm gonna make cheap and disposable units so there can be a lot of them.

Fair enough, though I do believe they'd let you use some of their sprites if you asked them...
But it's entirely your decision.

Thank you! Thank you!
Your post is exactly what i felt!

I can't wait for wip release or just regular!

How far do you plan to go with this? Only the guardsmen? Only infantry? Tanks? Everything?

Eventually I hope to do most of the Guard armory. For the Guardsman I still have to make the legs and then put him together. Tanks should be relatively easy once the base is made because most of the tanks are based of either the leman russ chassis or the chimera chassis.

Yeah, and even then, the chassis themselves are quite similar from a coding point of view.

You should ask from maker of mammoth tank to use his code it was really good.

Adeptus Mechanicus The true face of badass.

Any ideas when first version is released?

And make some imperial guard with radio it could be just a sprite but it would look awesome! ( well atleast when combined with mods where you can call airstrike )

They look fine to me.

Though the guys look a bit large and round for the cheapo, cost-cutting imperial guard...

Im not sure when the first release will be, probably when i have a working guardsmen and some more working heavy weapons. About the radio, the guard calls it a vox caster and its usually carried on the back so I'm debating on whether I should have a unit that comes with a vox as part of its sprite or screw the cannon and just make it hand held.


Thank you


I see what you mean but I'm gonna see how it looks all together first and then polish it up.

And now I have a question about Lua and modding in general:
When B23 comes out will you be able to detect keystrokes that are separate from the main controls? And is it possible to add an attachable to Actor or really anything in the game using Lua.

My Idea is that since the bayonet I made is a bit dangerous to the drop ship and the other actors, why not have the bayonet unattached until the player hits a button which either actually attaches the bayonet to the gun or replaces the gun with one without a bayonet.

I think the sprites look good as they are just keep up the good work!

I am just quite worried will this be ever released since this has been quiet for weeks now.


And i hope that atleast 1st version will be released to build 22.
