Requests for future versions of elite.

[Conor394]

Hey, i have just downloaded the Elite mod an whilst what is on it is awesome i was hoping i could make some requests that you might add in future versions of this mod?

The first request is a Playable Tau race. The tau have always been my favourite race in 40k and i was quite dissapointed when i saw they were not in dawn of war 2. I know i can use the commander in last stand but if we could have and actual multiplayer race (And maybe also a campaign) that would be fantastic.

My other request is for an elite chaos skin for "Skyrar's Dark Wolves". The elite skins on the current version of the mod are awesome and i was hoping maybe you could do one for the dark wolves aswell? just a thought.

Thanks for your replies.

Sure. Find, hire and pay an engineer that will work with the elite mod crew to develop this.

skyrars dark wolves. Sure request it from sterling and make sure you pay him for his time.

No need to be so blunt BatPimp He's requesting/asking it, unlike other their demands...
In short what Pimp said though ^^ Maybe some modders will make the skins if they feel like it.
But there aren't people available that want and know how to do all these things otherwise.

I was wondering if it were possible to overlay visual mods on top of ELITE's models? I've tried to find methods, but I've got nothing

(i.e Use Shuma's old Templar pack to replace all regular marines anyway, or swap the IG back to the old look)

I don't see why it shouldn't be possible to use those visual mods? I haven't bothered with those myself though after I made my own Custom badge.
Anyone else tried it?

Well, the Mods folder doesn't really work for Elite, iirc. But you can overlay visual mods over Elite. You will have to change the .module file, but you should still be able to play with people. As long as no non-art files are changed. I asked BbBos to test a change to the module file to see if the new purchased Blood Pack DLC could be made to work with Elite, which it can. I added a new archive to the list. But he said he could still see lobbies and stuff, so it should work fine. Might be good to confirm that with him.

But the other issue is that with Shuma's mod, some of the files since then have been altered in Elite, so you'd have to go back through the mod file and change the names of the models to match the ones in Elite, and then repackage the .sga archive.

Ah, I see...

Because I was fiddling around with the mod that changed the regular Guardsmen bodies to the Stormtrooper one, and it ended up only showing on the Catachan, and the heavy weapons teams. It was kinda weird.

It is purely visual though, nothing else is changed other than their bodies and their heads to the rare vet heads.
