FREESPACE Doom III Project
on: January 04, 2003, 03:04:59 pm
Hey everyone,  I am starting a Freespace project for Doom 3, it will turn doom 3 into basicly a revamped freespace with a new plot which will be after freespace 2.  I am a 3d modeler myself but if anyone else wants to help me right now i especially need someone to help me to make a story line that can live up to freespace 1 and 2.  I have a website (on geocites as i dont have a better host yet),  also here is some of my work:



And here is waht i'm working on now, its the Shivan Basilisk fighterm, note that this model is far from complete :)

flamethrowers are under the seats, exits on your left right and rear, and if a big, hungry shivan comes looking for yu, it's just carl, give him your lunch and he'll go away.
oh, and if you see anyone with heavier weapons than the flamethrower, don't mind, everyone  has his own secret weapons stash.

Basillisk? Are you gonna make it flyable or something?

Sounds kool though i won't be able to run DIII on this machine for a long time :(

AS for story, I'd suggest 1 of 3 things.

1) the T-V war. Make up a story corresponding to the TVWP with ground battles

2) The NTF War. There was alot of battling, fighting for planets like sirius and so on.

3) Have like a certain specialist squad or platoon that goes around captring enemy ships, stations, storngholds, etc.

actually, i would concentrate on the ground batlle stuff, since most in space stuff is done in ordinary fs2 mods,wich perhoas are not as good looking as doom3, but already there. and i think the story ideas from KT are good, but i numbers 2and 3 are the best,since you've already flown in those kind of situations, and it would be cool to see the action from a different POV. but on the other hand, once the TVWP is finished the same goes for idea 1.

Yes i agree,  but many more pssibilities with doom 3 space combat,  it would look better than the cutscenes in freespace or freespace 2.  Ground battles will be included but i think mayby have a pilot campaign and a marine campaign, or mix em togeather for more variety.

i doubt you'd want to mix them, it6 just doesn't fit with fs2 storyline, you've got marines, and you've got pilots, no-one's both. and BTW, what are the minimum specs for doom3?

well heres what i was thinking,  have a standard type freespace campaign where you play as a pilot, there could be missions on planets too.  Have a marine campign also which is self explanatory.  I have not thought about multiplayer options yet though.

no its not out yet, but its supposed to come with a lot of modding tools.  That doesn't mean that i can't get a head start and have a lot of work already done so when it is out there will be stuff to release :)

Theres always special operatives, and besides, you have marine aviators too ya know ;)

As for modeling fs2 ships, you do realize you can just convert them right?

well yeah i know that but i want better graphics so i guess they would be good to go by but as i said before doom 3 can handle 170,000 polys per model.  It would make no sense to use the doom 3 engine and not update the graphics.  Thanks for the advice anyway :)

170k polys? That should handle a Mjolnir. ;)

It'll handle a Herc Mk1 too--for now. ;)

OT: those damn size gaps on the Herc1 SUCK ASS.
