Must get used to Advanced Combat Techniques! Modding anyone harder to fight...... like in the DS Version. Boss Battles are so hard to engage them personally. Just to have it like this mod..... even for Drones to have such an Advantage! Unlike The Mixer Drones who are really hard to beat..... I was thinking of something better than this! Should Involve Self-Healing, Invincibility and different stats. Also having Light Weapons do more damage to Structures..... Blackout's Light Weapon does that damage to structures! Should have more Human Mods..... Transformation Button is just like GTA, except they Enter The Vehicle. Playing as The Military, Sector 7 and The Police.
Digital Artic,let me ask you a question, do you know how to change the voice lines (speech) of characters in transformers the game? for example, substitute an Optimus Prime speech for a Starscream speech, please tell me.
I do indeed. The simplest way is to rename dialogue files in _Dialogue. But that won't change the com head that appears when the dialogue is triggered. To do anything deeper with it, you need to extract lo.dat with quickbms. That way you can edit the speech.ini inside each level, and you change which head is used for which strings of dialogue. However, any file speech.ini loads must be loaded in that levels section inside music.cfg. (Renaming existing files will work around doing this, but still...) Adding new files to a level from music.cfg is simple, you can copy of the lines and edit it so that it loads the new file you want. So adding files to Music.cfg will enable you to add dialogue and not just replace it like renaming files would do. The wav format that the game uses is also a common format, and can be created by most audio editors. So you can also create custom wavs, you can add any dialogue from any game you want that way.
Nope, I'm 99% sure this version of Shockwave is just a drone. All the decepticon drones have a similar head type as shockwave. Shockwave never speaks, has no character just like "Swindle" and "Dreadwing" in this game. (Even shockwaves animations use the name "Drone")
@@Richtofen-gy9cj Good eye. For most of them, it's a matter of using the console versions of their portraits where their optics are lit up. For a couple though, (like Jazz) it's an edit of his normal portrait I made.
Hey, My shockwave keeps turning into a turret everytime he moves, wich makes it incredibly hard to beat cause he can't take damage and keeps destroying the city, any idea why?
That's an intentional design choice to spice up the "Triple Changer" fight in the mod as the boss isn't that unique otherwise. By understanding how it happens you can avoid triggering it entirely. The short version of it is; chase him quickly and stay close to his helicopter mode to avoid the Turret Sections but if you want to deal more damage in combat let him convert to Turret Mode so you can hit him with Pole Melee attacks. The Long version of how it works: Shockwave tracks the players distance when flying in helicopter mode. If the player is far enough away when Shockwave arrives at a new location, he takes advantage of the players absence and transforms back into Turret mode to focus on city destruction. However if the player is close by when Shockwave arrives at a new location, Shockwave transforms to robot mode to be battle ready but will still try to shoot nearby buildings before the player attacks. In order to protect the city and keep Shockwave focused on fighting, you must chase him as fast as possible to keep him within range. However that's not the only way to win, you see the reason why Shockwave transforms to robot mode to be battle ready, is because he's actually much more vulnerable in Turret mode than he appears to be. The Turret Mode Shield is not just vulnerable to thrown objects, but also pole attacks. If you grab a pole and use it as a melee weapon, it'll break right through his Shield and deal high damage. Since optimus has swift pole attacks, you can perform multiple pole attacks in a short period of time and deal more damage per round than if you had fought him in Robot mode. In truth, this boss is a beginners trap, as he's not that difficult at all when you know what to do, but if you're unfamiliar with him he can be a significant roadblock. The vanilla game never really asked too much of the player in fights so you could get by with mindless button mashing in most encounters, something that won't really fly later in the mod. The hope for this mission and the next few missions in Hoover Interior is to prepare the player, so that they get good enough at the game mechanics to be more prepared for the difficulty spike in later missions, and will hopefully try to think about experimenting with their abilities in new ways in order to fight more effectively.
@@DigitalArctic Okay! This absolutely helped me! I didn't know the pole attack thing for sure, i'm really loving these mechanics that you added to the game, it feels fresh, and my 12 y/o self is really happy playing this game after all these years Again, thanks for the tips and your job on this mod! And i also love how you explain all of this in detail
Yo creo que el juego hubiera sido mejor si todos los enemigos del juego tuvieran ese nivel de agresividad en los combates le hubieran agregado ese nivel de dificultad que le falto lamentablemente al juego
Concuerdo contigo,así hubiera dado más diversión al juego,que solo tirar cosas a los jefes,golpearlos 3 veces, correr y volver a tirar cosas,aunque la batalla de jazz contra blackout es un poco "única" a diferencia de otras peleas
@@cazadorgames8374 si esa es costosa digamos a diferencia de las otras ya que la defensa de jazz no le hace frente a la fuerza de blackout y starscream que cualquier golpe te mandan a oclahoma pero descubri que jazz esta muy roto jugando hace poco por que con el simple echo de spamear el primer golpe te los bajas muy rapido hasta un punto que ni siquiera llegan a poder usar su escudo pero fuera de eso diria que esa es la pelea mas complicada
@@Whatisnineplusten si,porque por ejemplo,la pelea contra Megatron o Optimus son muy faciles(aunque la de Megatron me pareció más fácil)la verdad,me decepcionó que Megatron solo tuviera habilidades de otros drones y que luego diga,me voy a robarle la técnica a otro dron,y que al final solo se lanzarle un arbolito en toda la cara y ya le partimos su robótica cara,además con Optimus,me decepciona que no haga mucho y y además pelee solo,hubiera estado mejor que los drones aparecieran mientras se peleaba con el,o que Optimus fuera más inteligente y en vez de solo atacar y disparar,se sepa defender y cuando Megatron se le acerque este se cubra y que para ganarle haya que agarrar desprevenido o algo parecido,o que por lo menos Optimus esté acompañado por los drones,así no puedas ir a lo loco por Optimus ya que tendrías que vigilar que Optimus te golpeé y que justo atrás haya un drone con la habilidad de barricade,o un drone que lanza fuego,así seria más entretenido
@@cazadorgames8374 Pero es que en esa pelea en concreto tienes que tener cuidado, que de 3 golpes te mandan a la lona. La "dificultad" de esa pelea reside en controlar tus niveles de salud, porque realmente es centrarte en uno de los dos, preferiblemente Blackout, y reventarle a golpes. No tiene más

@@DigitalArctic like he's so easy to beat..... a lot of health, can't shoot him from the sky, and Mod him tougher! So ridiculous for a cutscene, he just flies away without the cutscene.
3:26 that was so "Ironhidish", Prime...
(Decepticon version)Rust to pieces autobot
-Starscream
XD
My God, if Shockwave had been so difficult that way, I would never have beaten him at the time of the PS2 when I was 7 years old 😂

Same here
Funny how this version of shockwave was used for the military helicopter look for Create-A-Bot in Transformers Autobots DS
I miss playing this game brings back good memories
1:18 POV
Optimus:"Hi Ratchet"
Ratchet:"Oh hi Optimus Good luck with that guy"
Optimus:"Thanks, Ok see ya"
Ratchet:"See ya"

Does shockwave have any unused voice lines? I would love to see shockwave talk

@@DigitalArctic oh😔
@@DigitalArctic how do you light up their optics?

@@Richtofen-gy9cj Although, you won't see the new Jazz portrait in this video, since it's old. (And frankly, from a hugely outdated prototype.)
Still wait your mod on "Autobots vs Decepticons (Drone)"!!))

Bro in my game does not have any cut sence
The cutscene in this video is normally unused.
@@DigitalArctic like he's so easy to beat..... a lot of health, can't shoot him from the sky, and Mod him tougher! So ridiculous for a cutscene, he just flies away without the cutscene.
Ik its late but you need to download cutscenes from thise game ande extract to the cutscenes file
