Marauders! The Campaign

Table of Contents

NEWEST EDITION: MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE 5/24/2018

Marauders!

What could you describe as kickass, manly, comedic, gratuitous, beautiful, breathtaking, stunning, incredible, indomitable, phenomenal, admirable, and just all around badass?

A Marauder of course.

Marauders! is a comedic single player campaign centered around, well, Marauders. Follow the Marauder Squad in their shenanigans featuring custom factions and units in every mission with one goal in mind: Have fun and kick some ass.

Marauders! has been ongoing since 2013 and as such, some things can vary wildly between missions. Large breakpoints where the most change happens is between missions 9-10, where the Marauder Squad faction receives an overhaul, and between 13-14 where the rest of the factions get an overhaul.

Are there any artwork dependencies necessary for the maps to run without errors? Whenever I open them up in the editor to test/play it, I get that little 'Messages' window telling me about incompatible parent objects, missing texture files, locality failures, etc. Or is it just an issue with my editor...or maybe just me?

Ignore the errors, that's just me being lazy. They don't affect anything.

I import models and textures for some units, but remove the models in every map they aren't used in to save on space creating a wall of errors.

Hmm, it's strange because, at times, I get what I assume is the editors placeholder for units (domed disco-ball looking thing). Most recently in the Hackarena map where the warfactory, I think it was (the giant death machine Sneaky bat wants to loot), was said dome only giantsized. And when I was playing through Teach Me How to Jerk, if I didn't keep the warpgates of the Redzones and Electro guys selected and hotkeyed, they warp in invisible and unselectible and the built-in W key for wargates did bupkiss. Similarly the former-tiberium harvesting Mecharauders don't appear to get selected with F2. Not really an issue if you don't use them but, hey.

I apologize, I have such weird problems.

It's all good my dude. Half of that was my fault. The model for the Warfactory was indeed missing. I'm really not sure how that happened, but here we are. I couldn't reproduce what you said about the warp gates, they worked fine for me. Though I did find a separate problem while looking at it. Mecharauders are also now on army select.

Thanks for letting me know about this stuff.

Also there is something buggy with healing. I think, absorb heat considers protecting walls around some units as units as well and heals with the help of them. I managed to restore half of my maximum hp with one reaver

It was unintended but I left it anyway because why not.

I also have no idea what my high score is. I never paid attention to it heh.

Mission 27 was smashing. Nice to be big and bad for a change.

Btw, I'd sell my left nut for your faction to be in co-op. A guy can dream.

In reply to Free4Days:

Uhh, good question. As you get better at the editor, making units gets a lot faster. To make a hero that has 3 abilities, maybe about 2 hours. Not including testing abilities to see if they actually work correctly. That can take either 2 minutes or several more hours.

A basic unit that only attacks takes maybe 30 minutes. If it does funky stuff like everything new in Offensive Defense, closer to 2 hours + more testing time, which again can vary widly.

Who do you think would win in battle: Stream from Central, or Siege Obliterator from Warfoundry?

I can't remember how much health the obliterator has. I think 3000? But Stream does more damage. So probably Stream.

I just gotta say...

Central is a cool faction to play. Sweet job acidragoon!

Also, do you make every unit in a map? Like create new map, make terrain, go to data editor and modify units heavily or do you use a dependency mod? Cuz i hear that if you use a dependency mod, you won't have to constantly remodify units which could save you a lot of time.

In reply to XenoRage152516:

I copy/paste everything from the previous map to the next, and then delete what I'm not going to use before I start doing anything. Takes about 10 minutes. I don't use a dependency because you would have to redownload it for every map anyway, might as well keep it in one file instead of two.
