Hey, I heard Tean say that there'll be a Yuuzhan Vong era. What happened to it? I know there is a Yuuzhan Vong in Bespin: Cloud City Hero Assault but the Vong uses human-made stuff.

Now, I am not a big fan of the KotOR era. Maybe somebody could make a mod that has Yuuzhan Vog sides in it. What do you think?

I made sides, with loads of new models, and offered them to Tean, but he didn't want Yuuzhan Vong War in it.. And even if he wants it now, i think the convo pack is done..Completely..

Thats sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fricking GAY. The vong are like the best era there ever was. Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better than the sucky KOTOR era which sucks DICK

Hey there, welcome to doublewarningland. Next time, don't:
a) Disrespect a huge amount of work done by someone else (KotOR era) - especially when he's a staff member, and
b) Use offensive terms.

Dude, I know EXACTLY what you mean! I do not like the KotOR era, either. But since more people seem to "know" about it better than the Vong era, that's why he put it in there instead of the Vong.

If you want it you make it. Be appreciative dude! Do you know how much work went into this? No, you don't because you won't even look at that instead you sit there wishing and whining about how they could have made it better for you instead of for the public. Take a look around right now at the amount of hard work went into this, more than you will ever do.

Be nice, no flaming in here.

I don't have any problems with people disliking the KotOR era as a concept - if you didn't like the games, maybe the setting just didn't appeal to you.

I would be a little miffed if someone were saying that they didn't appreciate the actual sides that I created, because those sides are really good, in my opinion, and I know that they're very high-quality in terms of construction, balance, and gameplay. However, there are bound to be one or two people you can't please in any crowd, and everyone's entitled to his own opinion.

Now, I don't care to see this thread turn into flamebait - so don't. Support is built in to the 1.3 patch for a Yuuzhan Vong era to exist and there are assets in the Conversion Pack that could help its creation. If someone wants to make it as an addon to the Conversion Pack, he or she is welcome to and may discuss it in here. I believe that was the point of the original post: "Maybe somebody could make a mod that has Yuuzhan Vog sides in it. What do you think?"

If this is just going to be a request (or the aforementioned flamebait) thread, however, I'll lock it.

Say i wanna do this Vong era? Sides, heroes, the whole thing.. For the pack? Will i have time and support to do it? Because then I'm SERIOUSLY interested

Ok, sorry Mav. You did do a real good modeling the sides. Sorry if this seems "flameable". I never intended it to go that way. I really do like the conversion pack a lot. In fact, it's my favorite mappack out there!

The support is already there, I think the y_ prefix will be what you're looking for with the .luas. I'll be happy to help anyone that wants to know how they can add to/work with the Pack.

It obviously won't be technically "part" of the Pack, but it can work with it the same as anything.

No, no worries. Your original post didn't have anything wrong with it, my response was to the posts that followed. And like I've said before, even if you don't like the setting, I would encourage you to try out the KotOR sides themselves, since they are very fun to play as.

I might be interested in a lego era if possible. I've begun building sides!

Here's something Vong era fans will like:
I was browsing moddb one day for battlefront mods, and stumbled upon a mod called the New Jedi Order mod. So I took a look and it was a mod to make all the battles in the Vong war. The mod is dead, but if anyone can revive it, that would be great! Link is here: http://www.moddb.com/mods/the-new-jedi-order

@woner11: what do you mean by "lego era"? do you mean Legacy era?

No. He means (literally) legos. Characters made of legos and such.

I think he means the toys. I'm absolutely crappy at modding, but I own all the New Jedi Order books, so if anyone wanted ideas or confirmation on stuff if they were going to make this, I would be glad to help. I've also thought about a YVW era since I got BF2, and I love the idea.

I actually have no idea what the Yuuzhan Vong War is Is it something located around the KotOR era time? I've never played the KotOR because it wouldn't run on my PC but my brother has played 1&2. Now that I've found out about 3D Analyze I could run the games but I no longer own them

The Yuuzhan Vong War is starts 25 years ABY, or after Episode 4. So it involves Luke, Han and Leia. Won't give any spoilers, but it's after the empire is finally defeated, and this new threat arises.

I only own the first 3 NJO books, but I still think a Vong era mod would be great. I'd revive the project with a couple of other people, but I'm busy with my Eagle scout project, and I can't even figure out how to do something as simple as placing an object on a map in the mod tools If anyone else wants to revive the mod, check out the link I posted. And I didn't think putting legos in battlefront was even possible!

FYI: The Yuuzhan Vong (Y) era was the first real (compared to the fake Zerted Wars era) custom era supported by the Custom Shell Mod (which later turned into the v1.3 patch).

I don't think it's a question of "can it be done?", it's really a question of "is anyone willing to do it?". The New Jedi Order mod at moddb fell pretty quickly, from what I can tell.

It shouldn't be too hard. Manderek has the characters, its just a matter of adding them in the lua and setting it to the correct era.

Ha. Okay.
