The NIS tool in Worldbuilder is made for this kind of thing. You can add effects, make characters 'act' and give them weapons - not to mention use custom camera angles. It is all very fun and relatively easy to use after a few hours practice.

Here is a handy tutorial, but there is plenty of other stuff on forums. Relic Mod Wiki - NIS Tool

I didn't know such thing is possible :) well you must pardon me because I even discovered the Worldbuilder only 3 weeks ago when I started to work on my comic lol

NIS tool will require some learning from my part, so it will take some time but I will try and see what I'm able to do with it. Thanx for tip mate!

This is very nice, you should get a uninique title naming you Comic Creator.
P.S Is there a way for me to make my worldbuilder not lag like hell?

Damn, I have the same problem! I don't even start making my map and the thing looks like it's running on a computer from 1999 >.> And I have a fairly new CPU too!

I think it's pure matter of HW - I don't experience any lag but have like 3GHz dual core, 4GB ram under XP. My guess is when ytou have some new OS like Vista you need another 2GB of RAM to run SW things smoothly, but I'm not IT expert...

Thinking about it, I wonder if we could lend you any extra German units... You know, just to add variety.
@WartyX: how exactly could we do it? Should I wait for new patch to come out or for Ostheer to be released? Some new models would be handy. I have a frame story preworked in my head :) but not started to work on graphics though. The thing is that I'm quite busy these days too.

That is propably the reason. The sad truth is that with every new OS you need to double the memory needed... so about 6-8GB RAM could propably help...

Being poor sucks. It's the end of my freshman year of high school, I bought this thing, WHICH I SAVED UP FOR 3 YEARS, to do great things.

What do I get?

A 700$ Laptop from Best Buy made by HP.

What has it been?

NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS.

I am also mad because I was going to go with the cheaper and better computer but the guy @ best buy was like:
"Oh dude, theres a high def graphics card in this one, if you play games you NEED it"

Oh, right, sorry, this machine doesn't have the performance capacity to operate on ANY COH setting ABOVE LOW.

I'm surprised you are able to even play CoH on notebook... I have desktop (or tower to be precise) and when I bought it, the good desktop sets were that time from 1200-1500eur. Good in terms with acceptable performance for me (for graphics works and for games of course). I know it is lot more than 600eur which was the price of cheaper notebooks that time... but I needed this PC for work too. If I considered notebook, I wouldn't be able to get it for less then 2500eur with my requirements.

My points is - why didn't you consider desktop PC instead? I think you could have much better power/price ratio. And moreover you could improve it later when you save some more money - with new graphics card or new RAM modules... such thing is not possible (or very hard) in notebook.
