Not a chance, needs special AI

Is there any chance this is compatible with DerBK's "A better AI" instead of the Future pack?

If you mean the Bio Commander Advent stuff then you can't change their colors using "DEC", you will have to download the mod tools and make a manual retexture yourself.

Im sorry i have 0 editor experience i know about as much as you do

@Advent avenger I don't know how to use the modkit. I know it's the vanilla color, do you happen to knwo what the RGB values are? I am actually trying to recolor the BioComand tint to this using the "Dynamic Enemy Creation" mod.

I like this Olive Green much better than the bright green.

i allready have him but was going for a "too many mods campain" so i was hopeing for even more enemies
:D

Use the ADVENT General revamp, he looks awesome and has his own AI. Mine is more in line with existing game components and uses my advanced AI. Look for it here, he has a long flowing cape it's awesome.

really wish i could use him without the ai pack

Speaking of such, I've had some spare time recently and I've been taking another shot at the skin for this guy, having trouble getting the exact look I want but I've learned a couple new techniques since I've made the original new skin that is currently a part of the mod.

This is the ADVENT General. He is part of the base game. This unit is the one on the last screenshots as it was recolored to not look like the General which is an objective target.

What RGB values did you use to tint that armor Olive Green like that?

Something simple is fine, ill take whatever i get

I'll see what I can do though

It's also about getting permission, it would be the simple thing to do to just use them but change the red to black but I don't know if they would let me.

I'm not a member of CX so it might be a tough sell.

The creative xenoa team advent general with the gold trimmed cape looks great. You can use it as a reference if youd like. I dont expect you to do the same they have like 4 experts on that team but it gives a good idea for the colors. Swap all the red with black and voila its what i imagined

When I have more time I'll work on a 2.0 on the guy's appearance, want to make the colors better within my ability.

Ah shit bad copy paste

The pod size increaser links are both for the same mod. I hope it's the one to use, rather than the one to avoid.

Cool, can't wait to see the new model, glad he isn't the same green officer we all know and love in a certain mission type.

Looks good this guy will be a beast with his skill set.

The new ADVENT Avenger model is up, it's not complete but it gives a good idea of where we are going with it. Thanks to Deadput.

Preliminary screenshots uploaded.

If someone were to create animations for FanFire, FaceOff and LightningHands he could also use them. I tested it and it works with my new code, but its not visually represented :(

Excellent

Reflex (Skirmisher ability) and Full Throttle added.

AA, what was the update?

@Miley Go full AA, you won't regret it, thought your dead soldiers might!

Then dont and yes

Is this absolutely dependent on the Required Mods? Because I really can't see myself getting both of them and all of their other required mods.

The reason i dont do copies is that if i mod advent future I want this to be affected as well. But feel free to copy everything it will work.

Regarding the talk to make it compatible with ABA - I feel like better way to go about it would be to make a copy of the required AI routines (with a doublecheck to ensure there is no name overlapping between them and ABA AI), then bundle it with this mod but dormant (either rename AI.ini to something like AI.txt, or if that's not possible then comment out everything in AI.ini).

That way someone who plays with your AI would just install the mod and play, while someone who wants to slap this enemy onto ABA would still be able to, but would need to perform some easy work of their own to "unlock" the required AI.

That being said this would likely be annoying work (I did some kitbashing of select ABA units to play nice with your AI packs so I know from experience, haha) for a limited group of people, so I understand why you'd not want to touch this.

Take your time no rush. Its a hobby were supposed to enjoy not work.

Sorry for the lack of reply, I won't be able to start work on the new look until at soonest tomorrow due to some personal things that require me to be away from the pc for most of the day.

I do have the individual limb pieces for Advent units at the ready though to make a pawn with Blender, that should be the tough work with the textures not taking too long.

TBH i'm also somewhat incitating to try it out

Fair enough, not a job someone on the consumer end can do with a cut-paste.
Thanks for replying, and one day once I'm done with this long-old-run and can start again I'll make sure to swing by Future Complete and see what this one can do!

ABA could elect to copy my AI and it would work. Ive ways told DerBK that what is mine is his. Theyd need to rerelease it however and include everything here. Its feasible but i doubt it interests them.

This is unbelievably cheeky - given that it's obviously your own mod designed to work with your own mods. But would it be a simple or a tough task for a mere mortal (ie not an avenger) to port this into ABA?
I could take or leave the AI choices but I love the extra enemy varieties from ABA (let's face it I just love having a whole host of enemies, period.) and would prefer to just stack this BEAUTIFUL specimen amongst them rather than in place of them. Is there a way I could like, paste their AI .ini into ABA to make them functional? Is that a thing? Code is an arcane language that scares me on a spiritual level...
Regardless, this looks a glorious chappy and I might just download Future Complete simply to see them in action someday.

Let's mix the Shieldbearer and ADVENT General to give the pawn some buffness. I like the Shieldbearer arms with big logos and the General head would be a good fit maybe?

I'll start in a day or two and get back to you when I can, I'll share screen shots as I go along to see if it looks good to you.

Do you want it to be the Officer's model as a base or any other Advent unit like the Priest? Just asking to make sure.

Might have been that then, just eye tricks. You can do whatever feels right.

Well in the base game files themselves there is

I think the Priest is the only one with gold, sometimes the regular General tricks my eyes depending on the lighting but otherwise I don't there is any gold on the main Advent units.

You can keep the emissive lights to red unless it clashes too much. The ADVENT logo also needs more contrast, silver or white or gold is good.

There is already gold colored textures in one of the ADVENT troops i forget which. Basically you only need to swap the green for gold i guess. I think it's the Stun Lancer Elite my memory is fuzzy. I swear one of the ADVENT units has some.

Alright I'll see if I can make time to make the reskin

So primary black armor with gold decals or the other way around?

How about color of the visor and emissives/lights?

@AA I hear you, and both of your visions are incredible.

Goddamn this sounds fantastic!

ABA and my stuff is a different vision its not possible to merge them you'd lose the flavors of each

Saw this, was going to add it right away, noticed the AI mod requirement, sadface.jpeg because the AI mod conflicts with my modlist.

Other then that, awsome work on this dude :)

@Flashstriker You have to move over to all AA universe.

@AA, get with DerBK and make a Grand Unification mod!
