NOW WITH SOUL HUNTER.

I know, not the greatest ever. But unlike the tempest, the soul hunter's model never made it into our hands.

I used the Tassadar model and swapped textures. Attached a texture swapped Void seeker and Templar archive for a hoverboard. Will include screenshots shortly. NO STATS HAVE BEEN ADDED YET.

Hey, I've been working on a tempest revival (I do not have 3ds max so i've had to use in game events to designate texture changes.)

Here's what i've got so far. (Using Gimp 2 and recoloring the textures by hand.) (Yes the shurikens have re-textured models also.)

I'm still working out some of the kinks with what I'm able to (Kinda limited since i can't edit the models.).

I've also got an issue with the Tempest's death model, I can't for the life of me figure out how to swap it's texture out using events. (I have made a new texture.) (Carriers don't have death actors, So neither does the tempest.)

In the picture, That's actually a tempest dying, not a carrier. I can't figure out how to swap that texture. If anyone knows how please let me know.

I'd also appreciate some feedback on the tempest. Tempest uses the unused voice acting of the Corsair (In lore Corsairs are Dark Templar crafts, so it's fitting that their version of the carrier gets that voice.)

Tempest Stats:

Life: 350 Shields: 100 Armor : 0 Abilities: Build Shuriken, Tempest Undershield

Tempest Undershield, Reduces all damage from the ground to 3. Works even without shields being up. Does not affect air attacks.

Build Shuriken, Builds shurikens which deal 8 damage, melee range, and can target air and ground.

Tempest Vulnerabilities:

- ALL air units (Including other tempests.)

-Massed ground units (A large amount of ground units such as a typical marine rush would take down a tempest easily.)

-It's armor and shields do not gain much when upgraded.

-Shurikens are melee units, Which means they'd have to fly up to a target to attack. (Might not be great against certain units.)

-Shurikens do not have anti-ground shields, as such if they are taken out, the Tempest is useless.

Tempest Strengths:

-Good for base assaults if the enemy is heavy on turrets (They'll only do 3 damage)

-Good if in large groups against large groups of ground targets (While marine mass will kill a tempest, a group of tempests will hold out much longer and be very affective.)

-Great against all types of ranged ground units.

-Cheaper in cost than a carrier.

The tempest didnt use Interceptors, it used shruikens, the tempest was also more darker blue, your right about the tempest undershield, exsept it was reduce the damage by 3, not to 3 Oh, i see you have shruikens, but they wernt looking like that, they looked like a spining blade, bright blue too

@SnyderGuy: Go

Like I said it's still a work in progress.

Mainly i'm focusing on the model/texture aspect. Does it look good? Also no, I got the coloration right, It looks like a dark blue because most of the photos of the tempest were against a black background. Several in game screenshots show it looks like the stalker armor.

Also, The undershields weren't really explained much, It caused the tempest to take little damage from ground, Which in this case it works properly. I tried reducing damage, It didn't do much. I believe the intention was for a shield like that of the immortal.

As for the shurikens, I'm still working on that.

I was planning to give Tempests that shield too. Right now my Tempest unit is just a recolored Carrier. You may want to check the model I used for the "shuriken", its one of the protoss relics, the one that has two round "blades" on each side. I retextured it to look more like a protoss unit. The problem with the Shuriken is that it has no advantage over an interceptor, unless you make it deal more damage or have a shorter cooldown. Also its a lame name for a protoss unit. I'm planning to give Tempest another attack unit and forget about shurikens.

Good idea using the Corsair soundset, I was thinking I should use it for some air unit and I still haven't decided which one.

Here's a screenshot of them in game.

@SoulFilcher: Go

The shield is from the original tempest unit so it fits. Good idea with the relic though! Looks way better.

@DrSuperEvil: Go

I'm currently trying to get that to happen, Not re-texturing the relic just yet, want to make sure everything is good on this part first.

I've also remade the Soul Hunter

I'm quite happy with the current carrier texture i made. I'm going to be re-texturing soon to make it more smooth but that'll take some time. As for the soul hunter, Well. I took the model of tassadar and retextured it as best as I could. Then attached the Void seeker (If you've seen the vids of the old soul hunter, the weapons look pretty similar) and then slapped him onto a templar archive because they too look similar. It's not the greatest but I like it.

As for the shuriken, Yeah i noticed that too w/ the model. Blizz did it with the tempest (Carrier) so they probably decided to hell with it and made it a relic.

As for the silvery thing, That's actually the lighting. I used the Stalker's color scheme as a base (since the Void ray is inaccurate, i noticed that as well.) I tried it once with the void ray scheme, It didn't look right.

I don't think the Void Ray needs a new texture and I like Delirum's Tempest texture I won't change it. Yes it needs to have a proper death model. I fixed the Tempest's warp in effect it was very easy, since it uses the same textures. I'm not going for the original Tempest in my mod, I'll give it another attack unit. Glad you liked the relic idea.

@Alex06: Here are the relic textures and Delirium's Tempest textures. The Tempest uses the carrier model and the TextureSelectById method. Use this same method for the warp in model.
