Post by: Nuclear1 on March 24, 2003, 05:59:38 pm: Primarily TAP is looking for people who can help with the modding process, primarily Modeling TBL writing.

FREDing is probably going to be for when the MOD is finished.

I'll let elorran (ha! spelled it right) to explain more.

Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on March 25, 2003, 01:22:26 pm: Do you have HomeWorld and the bigviewer? If so you can start writing TBL entries for the ships, as you will have acess to the specs.
However, divide the ship speeds by 10, or the fighters will be whizzing round at 850m/s.

Post by: elorran on March 25, 2003, 07:27:29 pm: It's not just a case of writing tables, all of the ships will also have to be rebalanced for FS2. Simply dividing a factor like speed, while being simple, isn't enough to ensure that TAP is properly balanced. Remember we are effectively creating a whole different style of game from Homeworld by doing this convertion.

Our primary concern right now is people who can convert and edit the models. Fredders and table editors aren't that important at this point (though thats not to say that there aren't places open for such people). Darkage does have a point though, table editing can be dull if you aren't focused.

At the moment a number of the members of TAP's team are busy with one thing or another, be it other projects or real life issues (myself included) so we might also take a look at getting a few extra hands onto the team (new blood can be a good thing).

In the mean time however I direct you attention to this thread... http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,14102.0.html

Post by: SKYNET-011 on March 25, 2003, 07:51:42 pm: Question-Can the Multibeam Frig target Cap-ships AND fighters?
Title: Want Help
Post by: elorran on March 25, 2003, 08:17:53 pm: Most likely thats how it'll be set up. But it will be balanced for such things and when we get round to it there might also be some alterations done for an open source FS2 version of TAP. But that's not been discussed indepth yet. The standard FS2 has priority for the moment.

Post by: elorran on March 29, 2003, 04:05:58 pm: Free Terran, give us some time. Not everyone visits these boards on a regular day to day basis. We'll get back to you in a few days.

And even if we do let you into the team you'll need the project files before you can really work on the tables.

Just out of curiousity, where are you from Free Terran?
Title: Want Help
Post by: FreeTerran on March 30, 2003, 01:46:43 am: From Germany. Do you send me the project files with e-mail or icq ?

Under which category are the ships in the HomeWorld bigfile ?

Just take it easy. It takes some time to set things up properly.

And if you get FTP acces you proberly need to wait a month to get the FTP acces. And by getting mad isn't a very good way to actualy STAY on the staff.

Yes, but you want it to do noticeable damage to capships and not kill the player in one shot at the same time...
