:eek2:
Goober5000, that is incorrect! It's actually http://tvwp.hard-light.net/ (http://tvwp.hard-light.net/).
-
*shrugs*
Both of them work....
-
But http://tvwp.hard-light.net/ (http://tvwp.hard-light.net/) is more official.
-
Indeedage.

It's also dependent upon the server settings. The hard-light/hosted/tvwp address will always work, and it currently redirects to the tvwp.hard-light address anyway. On the other hand, if we ever move to a new server in the future, tvwp.hard-light may not work.
-
Not that it's up to date or anything... :p
-
It is, in fact. I just went through and fixed all the links. :p

News
Wednesday, September 7, 2004 - Stealth
Wow, it's been over a year. Check the new website stuff. (like, the navigation, and a few other things). The final techroom's about to be released real soon, so stay updated for that. Otherwise, if you have any questions, comments, suggestions, etc. drop us a note in the forums. Later.
Not exactly news now is it? :p
-
Is the techroom the final techroom? No ship picture? Just the description?
-
I think I'd have to render a lot of the ships for techroom photos. And theres still a lot we dont want to show you. We want you to PLAY the campaign before seeing everything thats in it, y'know.
-
Hence the whole 'hide the Viper' thing...
-

Well, we had to badger Stealth for over a year just to get that much. :D He was supposed to add screenshots of the ships but never got around to it.
-

I dont recall any ship called Viper.......
-
I think he was talking about one of the Mustangs
-
But we've showed the mustang alpha. Hell, its in Inferno, in a revamped and remapped form, atleast. IIRC.
-
*Shrugs*
Shows how much I know
-
It's ships like the P****** or the *es**** that we have been keeping a lid on! :D
-
Viper as in
(http://tvwp.hard-light.net/website/screenshots/blurred.jpg)
-
That picture is so old.... those weapon names arent even legit anymore... Nothing about that picture is, except the mustang hud graphic, I think...
-
Well, why not update your screenshots page (and release a pic of the Viper since you're not using it anymore)?
-
(There is no viper. Its probably another ship that has since been renamed before I joined, but nothing is called "Viper.")
I would update the page, but I dont know if I have the permission to, for one thing, and I dont know what I should put there, if I did.
-

Actually, there was a Viper, but it was just someone's very crude attempt to model the Viper from the original Battlestar Galactica series. We could release it, but it's extraordinarily ugly.
And Raa, the FTP info I PMmed you will let you upload stuff to any location on the TVWP FTP, so you can feel free to update or edit the site if you want. :)

Ah, wasn't aware of the BSG Viper in TVWP. (also O.'.o at that)
So, it's ok if I want to do some little renders and put them online? Ok then... I'll look to doing that. I'll shoot you an AIM message to clear some things up... or I would if you were online... Errm... I'm not going to add any new ships yet, then, because i dont know what we're showing and what we arent. I'll get that info from you soon, I hope.
-
After years of gathering dust, the TVWP website will get updated! Taristin to the rescue (or so I hope)!!! :D

Ya. I'm away this weekend, so I have limited connectivity -- for instance, my laptop computer is running AIM in my friend's house but I'm typing this from the computer lab. Feel free to leave a message though.
I think that when I get back home I'll publically release the Viper so you can all see how horrible it really is. :D It dates from way back when Solatar (then Hades) and Thor were starting up the mod and looking for any models they could find.

Dark times, very dark times...
-
Small update made to the site. Techroom is now up to date, and will have more pictures as I get around to renderring them for it.
-
Few pictures added. Mustang Alpha, Shrike, and what the current Falcon looks like (It makes me go bleh)
-
The Falcon is a goddamn Amazon! :ick:
-
Well..... we'll see if I decide to change that, or not. Or if Goober decides against it...
-
I like the reskinned Amazon. :p
But if we can come up with a new model, I'd be open to changing it.
-
I like the reskinned Amazon. :p
Ok... You know, Im seriously tempted to remove your model-vetoing rights! That skin for the amazon is so god aweful! It's both too monochromatic, lacking contrast, and... well... it looks too much like it was airbrushed in paint, and less like an actual texture job. (There should be a :p in there, but Im not sure where, because while I dont mean it harshly, I do mean it!)
Im embarassed of it, to be honest. Im still stunned about what you said about my Sagitarrius, though.

Hmm. You raise an excellent point. I have a significant interest in keeping my modelling staff happy, so by all means, ignore my tone-deafness (or the modelling equivalent) and use the new Sagi. :)
-
Well, since Modelling staff is me, Snipes, and Raa, we talked it over, and we're gonna think about making a different Falcon. It'll be Amazon-esque, though... because imagination is a-1 supar. >..>
-
The system works. :)
-
You might want to, y'know, mention that you nuked the techroom instead of saying that you updated it...

:lol:
-
Um... What happend to the menu?
-
What happened to it?
It's graphical now.
-
It evolved and became sentient. It's now planning world domination.
-
I get the big TVWP image at the top of the page, the news......and everything is just black.
-
Meh. What browser are you using? All the menu uses is simple javascript.
I dont know what the problem could be, the page tentatively passed w3c inspection. And it works fine for me with Firefox.
-
It works for me.
I actually kinda like the current model of Falcon. It reminds me of BSG's Raptor.
-
It's working now...
Hey, will TVWP be using the Zagreus or Bastet in INF:A?
-
I like how you guys made the falcon a reskin of the Amazon. Shows that it came from somewhere before it got used for target practice.
-
I think drones should have a bigger role in campaigns. If the same AI system can be used on target practise, then why not on expendable fighters or bombers?
-
Eh, the sad truth is that in total warfare (not psuedo warfare like the stuff in Afghanistan and Iraq, or maybe Vietnam), humans tend to be much more expendable than equipment. Especially if you have a mandatory draft of some such in place.
-
Hm... Has anyone died at during training 3? :P
-

That would be a feat, lol. But drones for training, and some sort of highly advanced combat drone are different stories.
Edit: BTW, has anyone ever noticed that the trainer guy for FS1 is the same guy who does the briefings for Silent Threat?
-
It's working now...

I dont know which vessels you are referring to, but I think its safe to say "No".
-
The Zagreus is a Terran destroyer using Fenris-style maps, and the Bastet is a Typhon-ish destroyer. There's also the Septu, the Vasudan equivalent to the Angel...
-
Then, no. We're not using any of those. Unless the Zagreus is a ship from Hamano.
-
I like how you guys made the falcon a reskin of the Amazon. Shows that it came from somewhere before it got used for target practice.
Now I remember! This was one of my justifications for using it. :p
See, Raa, someone else likes it too. :D

Not those specifically, but we might use some other ships.
Edit: BTW, has anyone ever noticed that the trainer guy for FS1 is the same guy who does the briefings for Silent Threat?
Yup. And Snipes is the same guy who does the other briefings for Silent Threat. And Admiral Wolf got reincarnated as an SOC officer for FS2. :D

So there's two of you with bad taste :p
Actually, my problem wasnt so much with the model as it was with the crappy reskin. But there were complaints about it being an amazon :p
-
I don't like reskins anyway. I don't mind stuff like the Artemis D.H. for direct variants, but this seems more like people not able to get enough models.
-

Exactly. Would you rather we wait until we had a full set of ships for every faction?
Because that's what we did do for two years. :p

Maybe you could, I dunno, do a campaign about the Terran-Vasudan war instead?

Apparently, thats not on the itinerary. I mean... its not like I made vasudan ship models....
-
Hey, that's right on the web page for Chapter 2. :p
-
Ive long been of the opinion that we shouldn't have focused on the UW. (Or, at the least, stuck with the original intentions of it being a demo. Damned feature creap :p )
-
Hm... Will Chapter 2: Outbreak have the actual first encounters with the Vasudans, as in,
"Unidentified ship incoming! It doesn't match any of our configurations!"
Or will it be more like...
"As you probably already know, the alien species, the Vasudans, have rejected the Pan-Galactic Treaty and have been attacking our front line installations."
?
-
Probably more of the former... The latter idea... sucks.
-
But it will be harder to form the plot development and everything.
-
I'm holding out for a mission where we see the exact moment when communications break down, fully-articulated human/Vasudan models and conference room skybox and all. :p
-
Are you joking? :shaking:
-
He's not staff. :p
-
Awww... No cutscene...
The missing badges are starting to cause complications...
-
There are cutscenes planned. In fact, Lt Cannonfodder was initially making them. No idea if he is, and if we still have them planned.
-
They're still planned, but Lt. Cannonfodder is quite busy with BSG and likely won't be able to help except for perhaps a few cbani renders.
However, the WCSaga folks owe me a few favors, so I'm planning to enlist them later. :drevil:
-

At the risk of sounding like a total ass...
...because you never could seem to decide what was Vasudan enough for you?
-
Actually, that was sarcasm, aimed at internal staff, as I have, indeed, made atleast 3 or 4 vasudan models. And would have had more were we actually working on a Vasudan-included campaign.
I've not said that there are no good fan-made vasudan models. I comment on the trend of many to attempt a more stylized Terran or shivan model, fail, slap on scaled textures and call it Vasudan.
-

Like the.... Kurruk.... *evil music* :shaking:
-
Nah... that was..... different. I liked it, but I dont remember it well enough. Certain stupid actions on my behalf resulted in its being lost....
-
Well, we had to badger Stealth for over a year just to get that much. :D He was supposed to add screenshots of the ships but never got around to it.
?
what you wanted was a flash techroom. extremely hard and time-consuming.
-
Will this be done in 8 months time, I want soemthing to come back home to, and the wife nags a bit too much. So just a yeah probably will suffice.... :yes:
-
We were doing good for a few days back there.... All went to hell after that
-
So what exactly is it that is needed at this point?
Lot's o FREDing, Models, Texturing, etc?
-
FREDding.
-
I saw somewhere that the TVWar timeline in the FS Wiki was developed to tell the story of TVWP. Is this true? And if so, will we see the Thanatos and Savior destroyers?
-
Yeah, the war timeline was made mostly for this project (in a way, the project was created because of the timeline, but that's another story all togther) and hopefully yes, we may see the Thanatos and Savior destroyers. Just not at the moment. School screws over projects like this.
-
As does a lack of FREDders.
-
As does feature creep.....
-
That, too. :(
-
That, too. :(
What do you actually need to have 'built' for a TV-War scope campaign, anyways?
-
As does a lack of FREDders.
What? You're missing FREDers? :eek:
You still need those? 'Coz I'm a FREDder. :D
-
That, too. :(
What do you actually need to have 'built' for a TV-War scope campaign, anyways?
Well.... we actually have a good deal of models working and ready to go. I could probably finish up one destroyer, but we have one working in its place. Im not sure what else is needed on that en, honestly.
-
As does a lack of FREDders.
What? You're missing FREDers? :eek:
You still need those? 'Coz I'm a FREDder. :D
Yep. We need FREDders.
-
Send us a sample mission. :)
-
Let's see...
I'm currently FREDer for one TBP campaign. And I plan to re-release my own TBP minicampaign soon, as well as start FREDing the second chapter for that story... That's what I have on my CV.
I could install Freespace 2 and throw together a sample mission. It'll be couple of days before I have time though. Haven't really had to time do anything computer related lately... Any requests about the sample mission? :D
-
Just whatever you think will be a good demonstration of your prowess. :)
-
What still needs to be done? :nervous:

Everything that isn't done yet.

I know how annoying that is. 'specially when you work for MT... :nervous:

Okay. I need to pull back that offer of mine. I genuinely believed that I would have time to fool around with FRED... But some unexpected developments have caused my free time to be more hectic than expected. Suffice to say I'm up to my neck in worries.
I'm sorry guys. I would have enjoyed working with you, but since I haven't even been able to work on that example mission yet, I don't think I can be of much use to you.
:(
