Santa is Coming Reloaded

[CookieNoob]

Thx to the nice 3d models of Ozonex and Washy telling me how to fix some issues in the code, I managed to put the christmas modifications from 2 years back into a mod, that creates a nice christmas flair without causing too much eyecancer



here are some more pictures:

Spoiler: show

The mod converts randomly 9% of the rocks and 3.5% of the trees into christmas presents (on a map with 10000 rocks/trees). It adjusts for the number of trees/rocks so that even on maps with less or more trees the overall effect stays the same.

The size of the gifts scales with the amount of mass/power of the tree/stone that they replace.

The mod will be uploaded on saturday to the vault for everyone who wants to test it before: pm me

[CookieNoob]

dont worry, its a mod. You can disable it any time Actually you would have to enable it first ^^

[lextoc]

Auto-enable plz.

[CookieNoob]

Auto-enable plz.

I am working with Viba/Giebmasse on a different project atm (as a td you are probably also interested in a tournament director helper program which does 70+% of the work of a td), so I dont want to spend too much time convincing the right ppl to add this (to auto enable it, there is a gamepatch required...). I made this mod* for the christmas tourney**, if you want it in the main game it's super easy to turn it on

OR: you could talk to the right devs yourself


* will be released on the 26.11.
**will be announced on the 3.12.

Gives new meaning to the saying, 'tis better to give than to receive.

christmas tourney is that LOTS one ?

(i will not use this mod in a competitive tourney ^_^ )

[KeyBlue]

Don't be such a negative nancy, keyser.

He's not talking about LOTS, but about his own tourney.

[keyser]

there is nothing negative in my post. maybe you the negative one

anyway, gl with your mod.

[CookieNoob]

yes I am talking about my own tourney, the mod and the ultimate maps will be used there. The mod doesnt change anything but the unit model, it replaces props that are on the map with gifts that have the same reclaim values (power and mass). The balance of the map will not change at all due to this, its a purely optical change.

If you dont use it in the tourney, you cant participate unfortunately...
