HI Earthpilot,
This project has two fronts. First is to expand the quality of the first RT mod and second to brifely give the community a taste of what The Sentinel's campaign was like (The Robotech Expiditionary Force)
I have wanted to do ground misisions as well but do to engine contrainsts and lack of mech type animations only mechas in a static pose will be used.
I watch the original DVD's and ripped about 1gig worth of waves for use in the missions. Basicly any episode that included combat in space or atmosphere will most likely be represented in the campaign.
Using the original mod I worked on about 8 missions (in varous states of completion). I am shooting for a target of 15-20 when finished , hopefully.
REF will be more liek the original mod in that player will use it as a toolset adn make their own missions, or just enjoy the mini campaign. The goal there is about 10-15 missions as teh combat and story is more straightforward in the Sentinals without all the ground or behind the scenes interation on board the SDF-3. Plus there will be few voice waves as there is hardly any charcter dialgue to gather to make it interestign enough to include.
This "attempt" has been on my back burner for 2 years now and would be nowhere without the blessings of the original mod team as well as Trashman (our only dedicated modler) plus certain others who graciously donated thier works to fill missing slots (though we desperately need more). So it is VERY early to even be thinking about missions aside from the screens I have shown once every few months of experiemnts (like the mission "Blind Game")... Lets just say it involves a complicated relationship, some fighters, some pods, an asteroid field, and a few surprises....
