Full Version: Asking too much?
Imperial Assault 2: Rise of the Empire > Imperial Assault 2 > IA2: Updates and Enhancements

Okay. It is well known that Me and Republic21 have a joined story. I myself was wondering...

This expansion coming out for IA2, as i've actually suggested a unit or two for it already... Could I possibly suggest -Commander- Jaxun, and General Shokum?

SPACE.

General Shokum commands "The Last Moonlight". A victory SD with a prototype mass driver cannon capable of ripping straight through the hull of ships like "The Invisible Hand".

Commander Jaxun flies "The Saber". A heavily modified HWK-290 prototype, capable of taking out nearly any squadron of fighters, and anti fighter corvettes. Larger targets are a hassle though, and should not be approached without assistance. Has two turrets that can focus on seperate targets, or if it's large enough, the target ahead. Not to mention the blasters on the wings. The speed, shielding, and armor are all generally good, but large cruisers will likely rip it a new one.

GROUND.

General Shokum weilds two lightsabers. One green, and one orange. has the ability to go saber beserk, and uses the Force Heal ability. Used to keep him, and Jaxun alive on the battlefield.

Commander Jaxun has the ability to switch his weapons from DC-15-F carbine, to his lightsaber. He may not be force sensitive, but he knows how to wield the saber thanks to excellent teaching from Manuke Shokum. He also has the ability to call in a strike from his ship, The Saber. This ability will inflict heavy damage on the target, depending on what it is, and is extremely deadly when used along side a bombing run. This ability has a slow re-charge rate.

So, what do you think? Just two more units for the republic. (Actually four, really... But still, that is not the point.) and I'm SURE there's alot for the seps in the expansion.

It's likely I'm asking too much. But could it be considered, as a staple of IA2?

Wait a minute. One problem with this. RAW. Wouldn't it need the units too?
Republic21
Actually J Manuke wields two orange lightsabers.
General Grievous
if thoose two characters is made by u two first i gotta congratulate u of ure imagination cus its good ;D
Second since they're uncanon i doubt ia2 will include but maybe RAW will if u talk whit z on eeaw.
Daruchias
Well, Greivous, those are characters from our stories "Remainder" and "A SW Story". Go read them.

Yeah, I see how I'd have a better shot with RAW, but IA2 is something I've been watching forever now. I remember the venator models that were released before our current ones.

I believe the characters fit into the canon well enough to be released on IA2 in the expansion, but I don't know if the Idea would fly.

I'm starting work on my own mod for the Original EAW, called Empire At War: Remainder. Original RIYTE!?

It'd feature somewhat different versions of our beloved characters, such as Jaxun in a rebel esque outfit, and the Saber repainted with a rebel scheme, and so on.
Republic21
IA 2 is going movie-based.No chance on that one.Perhaps RaW but i doubt.They have almost finished.

Also the name is not A SW story.I put that in the beginning cus i didnt knew what to put but i have givven it some thought and i will name it. SW:A hidden Republic OR SW:Republic Remnants.

Any suggestions as to which?

No, but give it a shot(with adding your characters in RaW-in that way you will "live" forever)!

Also, is it too late for someone to mod Republic Commando?
BenSkywalker
Well they may not do an expansion anyway since most of the expansion stuff is done and just put it in the official mod.

yea that's right, since bryant is somewhat gone i don't think he will and since z3r0x wants to move on to his vong mod you probably wont see an expansion for this mod, but when i see z3r0x today i'm gonna talk to him about me making an expansion for RAW, since there are all these unused models and i have some ideas for them
DarkTrooper9847
so that means the original things going in the expansion will be put in the whole mod as one release now? or will there just not be a campaign + expansion? i know bryants gone, but hjas anyone heard from him or know at all whats going on ? i hope he comes back soon

well stuff z3r0x has talked about in the past that was going into an expansion is now being added into the full game
Daruchias
Any chance my dudes could be added? Z3r0x and me are on good terms. We agree politically. biggrin.gif

sure if z3r0x lets me do an expansion, i'll talk a little of it over with him and get back to you on it, but i can't give my word on this cause he may not let me do an expansion
Daruchias
You rock! No, really. You do.

Hoping Z3r0x is okay with it, honestly. I think the characters can contriubte in their own unique ways.

thanks, now for this part ( General Shokum weilds two lightsabers. One green, and one orange.) it wont be to hard to do that as z3r0x has a jedi with 2 lightsabers

seen here model here all he'd have to do is a small remodel on the head to make him look more human thin alien, thin reskin his 2 sabers and your good to go

how for this ( Commander Jaxun has the ability to switch his weapons from DC-15-F carbine, to his lightsaber)

there is a model out there a really great model that has a lightsaber and gun on the model so maybe we can use that, just a simple reskin of it too look more like you want could be done

photo of it will come soon as the forums to get the model is offline for maintenance

except for the campaigns i suppose?

In the clone wars era, Commander Jaxun wears the following...

A silver mandalorian helmet. Phase II clone trooper armor. One of those ARC trooper Kamas. (The skirtish thingy.) A Clone Trooper officer pauldron, but not just one. ARC troopers wear it on one shoulder. He wears one on each shoulder. They have a blue coloration on the colored patches. His lightsaber is blue. Oh, and apparantly Shokum has two -green- lightsabers.

Now, there's another problem. Commander Jaxun flies an HWK-290 prototype. Coloration doesn't matter for the prototype of the playable character, but for the "official" release, the ship should have a silver paintjob to it.

The model in the standard game is absolutely horrible. The model that currently exists in The Dark Forces mod is the one that should be used. I've asked the head modder's permission to use this model in the EAW format, but he has not replied yet.

This is the model.

The textures could definately be worked on...

As for the appearance of "The Last Moonlight", I do not know. It simply can't be a normal VSD, due to the massive cannon.

But, regarding the HWK-290, I'd like to use that model to just plain replace Petroglyph's Moldy Crow altogether.

ITS TWO ORANGE!!!NO GREEN!


The last Moonlight is a Victory class. BUT for the mod an ISD should be used because it is supposed to be bigger than a typical V-class SD with the two Victory style thingys on the sides and a large deployable canon on the upper part.
Daruchias
Okay.
DarkTrooper9847
sounds like a lot. but i doubt if it would be approved. RaW uses things that may not be movie canon but are at least T-canon. your ideas are pretty good. heck of an imagination. but theyre not canon at all, idk if theyd do it. but with luck, it might be okay.

Still sounds more cool, one green and one orange.
Daruchias
Now come on R21. If he doesn't want one green and one orange, that's his descision.

Two oranges look kick ass anyways. Especially on Jedi Academy. Duuuuuuude.
Republic21
Remember my previous Avie.
Daruchias
You know, we never have really discussed what our characters LOOK like...
Republic21
Why should we?There he is on my Avie. Just imagine him 20 years older. This photo was taken during the clone Wars.
Daruchias
Well, the only thing that probably changed was his hair color. Light jedi remain very pure in appearance.

Hm... What does Jaxun look like...
Republic21
Neither his hair color has changed. Jedi are supposed to have longer lifetime remember? It;s just that his characteristics look abit moresolid, a bit more rectangular you know what i mean?
Daruchias
I see. So he just looks a little more physically aged, and wise?

Hm... Jaxun hasn't aged normally... Ever... So, I guess he has nearly the same appearance he had in the clone wars...
Republic21
Have in mind that Jaxun is force sensitive and even though he hasnt expanded his powers he should be able to maintain his apearance.
Daruchias
Well, the slowed age rate was due to exposure to the bomb radiation type effects. extended exposure does not kill you, but it slows down you're cells so much that you almost cease to live. So much, that you cannot move or respond to anything. Currently, there's no way to reverse the effects either.

The minimal effects are applied to everybody at the station. That imperial officer is gonna' be alive a long long time, because of the time he spent in there, which was about two hours. about Five to Thirty minutes of overall age expanding radiation like substance exposure has happened to Jaxun.

Republic21
Huh? I didnt understand that.
Daruchias
I explained it in Remainder's questions.
