Oh yeah... this won't work with the original files. You will need to apply this patch on top of a Machines 1.5 installation.

@GeneralCamel lags may be caused by your graphic card drivers etc. Please search the forums. I also recommend the latest community patch http://wiredforwar.org/topic/167/announcing-community-patch-1-5-godsend.

@X-Lord That was actually a mistake, although I'm playing with the idea to switch out the eyes depending on the health or command.

So if the health is low = sad eyes, even if its a military unit.

If command is 'attack', then angry eyes! and so forth

It's almost always a graphics driver problem. Try http://wiredforwar.org/topic/167/announcing-community-patch-1-5-godsend or Voodoo patch (search the forums).

Cool!

Sooo. how would you even start editing this? I suppose you can't drag and drop it into UE4? :'D

I just downloaded the zipped game, extracted and and ran it on my W10 Laptop.

It just worked! No fix or patch required.

No errors, no glitches! I'm actually pleasantly surprised!

Hi, I created a Reaper in Blender. It is already rigged and textured. For the Textures it may be helpful to have some basic Materail-Textures for the Metal, so that the Models look not too different. I already created some and if you like them I can share them. ;D

Based on the model, i uploaded two vids. In one animation i just let the legs move, to better support a moving body for aming in first person for example.

//Added: Run Animation:
Animation with moving body
Animation without moving body

Here is the Result:

Hey, that's pretty cool

Thanks, glad to read something interesting after a while.

The "Fire Turret Exploit" is so cool. I've never thought of doing that :)

I find the "Military Fortress" pretty difficult at the beginning and I'm still having issues trying to destroy the Satellite Uplink. If you have any tactics for this part I would be more than happy to read them.

As soon as I get a triple plasma cannon knight, then with some luck I can shred enemy to pieces using this guy alone ^^

I also find "Take the Pass" and "Behind Enemy Lines" to be the best missions but I don't agree in regards to "Disable Relay Station Force Shield". This mission is different, challanging and you can't really use your 1st person advantage with wasps and on such small ground area.

Hi. I had basically the same experience. I had the demo which I played quite a lot which came on Turok 2 CD. I liked the machine designs, their voices and colorful graphics. It is one of the first games I installed myself and first RTS game I ever played. I downloaded the full version from the old forums in 2008, but I actually have not finished it until 2 years ago. It is a very hard game and I probably would not be able to finish it if I played when I was a kid.

There is not much activity here, but you can check out the discord community. I'm not a fan of it, but unfortunately forums are not popular these days.

update: Ion cannon start attacking when at least one military unit get close to enemy pod.

The final mission (like all the others) was completed without building military units, using bugs, cheats, and first-person control. All this can be seen on the channel.

Yeah sure. See http://wiredforwar.org/topic/2/how-to-get-up-and-running.

Allow me to be off topic once again and show you my finished Dungeon Siege texture project. It took more than 4 months and 3929 textures have been updated. The texture pack is 5.97 GB !

Try this mach1.met. Just copy it it your game folder. Don't forget to backup the original file.

Play only new skirmish maps with:

default starting resources low starting tech-level fixed position

Every skirmish map default BMUs is 50k. Low tech-level means low for you and medium for the AI. Fixed position makes the AI always ally with each other. Constructors and technicians are faster and better.

If you want any other enhancements just follow Judas modding guide. It's simple and can let you adjust the skirmish levels to be quite challanging :)
