Adding an Avatar (for Fed)
posted on June 13th, 2009, 3:46 am
So I tried my hand at adding an avatar for the Federation to give them a total of three. Not really successful after a couple hours of lots of renaming, cutting, copying, pasting, and some photoshopping.
So, my question here is does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Because the new avatar will not show up when I start a game.
The starting starbase (fed_outpostS.odf)
Now, with that I've also created the new avatar file (avatar_fed_walker.odf)
Now keying off that, I assume that my next, and only step would be to create the relevant starbase (fed_outpostX.odf)
I've also added in the appropriate sprite info into the gui_global.spr file (I hope, along with having created the relevant tga files for all this to have made sense normally)

lol, he's one of my Roleplaying Characters (link), figured it'd be kinda cool to get him into Armada. 
Took a screenshot, I apologize for the large file and screensize, I use 1920x1200.

no... they use astroids on the map with a slingshot, which results in a instant win.

Haven't gotten that far I'm afraid, for starters I was trying to make it so that his outpost had only one defense upgrade and three weapon upgrades, but something's wrong with my last set of odf's and I haven't been able to pinpoint it.
I'd planned on making him reliant on warp in ships mostly, he'd only be able to build a very limited number of actual vessels, and they'd have to come from his outpost (or another base of some kind, not planning on using shipyards). The warp-in ships would be better crewed, a little stronger, typically have more weapons, better shielding, etc... than the ones you'd build as Risner or Mayson, but you wouldn't be able to have as many of them, due to a seperate warp-in limit I'm hoping to get working.
LOL! I'm sure someone could make an asteroid based 'torpedo' or sorts.

Avatar bonuses:
* Replaces all phasers with asgard beam weapons
* outfits the akira with railguns
* Quantum torpedoes replaced by Nuclear Missiles
(^- all of this is in humor of course and it would be nice to mod in a third avatar)

Admiral Stats:
- Allows you to build the Prometheus Class Battleship
- Refits the Soveriegn Class with Tachyon Detection Grid passive ability (Like in Nemesis!)
- Increases all Eraudi yard Vessels Offensive Value by 5
- Increases all Eraudi yard Vessels Defensive Value by 4
- Increases All Eraudi yard vessels System Value by 2
I agree with these, absolutely amazing suggestions. I did kind of something similar with one of my 3 avatars.

This kind of seems a bit far fetched
