Yeah the smoke thing is something i came across by accident during my research into the game's particle effects. I thought it would make for a pretty cool tactical unit (especially in multiplayer). I can make the smoke any color that i want although i probably wont make it grey because grey isnt very interesting.

The smoke and particle effects are all Shifty's work

We wanted to make this mod something different ..... and I think it's fair to say, we are achieving that aim. We have wheeled vehicles, we have new weapons, we have smoke grenades, an we have robots ( big and small )

We are now working on our revolutionary approach to recruitment and unit building ... hope to get the tech-trees roughed out so Shifty can get orkin on the scripting !

I know its been a while but Bwian and I have good reasons for not having any new screens. Ive been having major computer problems (resulting in a purging of my harddrive). Only today have i finally gotten everything working again properly. Bwian has been insanely busy with work. He gave me a runthrough of his schedule and it made my rather busy schedule look like a walk through the park taking time to stop and sing with the furry woodland creatures.

Anyway. Im back now and Bwian should have some time over christmas. Ive worked a bit on the new User Interface today. I think its coming along rather well. Obviously its a WIP and not nearly done. Any thoughts?

I like the little touch of a red light switching on for selected units. I'd suggest improving the one-tone borders on the left (around the map and speed toggles) but since this is WIP I presume they're only temporary.

Small update on the User Interface.

Again this is very much a WIP so many things on here must still be changed.


Alot of the time i usually set aside for modding lately has been taken over by playing the EB beta which is pretty nice (although a little rouch around the edges). Bwian has been working a bit although he has nothing to show yet.

Fantastic mod! Very original, i hopeyou the best of luck!! When your beta is released please let me know! Also i have some advices: 1-Advertisement, 2-AI changes so they get affected and run around when smoke is hit near them...thats about all...i wish i could help but thats impossible right now as im working on knights and kings, i wish you succeed and hope no flaming starts that it's "Impossible to make" as you already proved the impossibles to the community...you are a complete success!

CONGRATS! MM TEAM!!
