Title: Needing help
Post by: galonrever on August 05, 2003, 11:41:11 pm
Hey guys. I was wondering if any of you would be interested in helping me make a Star Trek: Armada TC of Freespace 2. I can sorta write odf's, and im working on the weapon odf's, but i cant convert, texture, or make weapon sprite for ****:nervous:  Anyone interested in helpin me out?

edit: my bad. I ment to say that this is to have Freespace 2 ships in the Armada game, not a ST TC for freespace 2:rolleyes:

Krackers is already doing a Star Trek TC, not sure how it's going, but talk to him.:yes:

Maybe you guys can work together and make something really kickass?

He means to put FS2 into Armada.

And IIRC, somebody is already been doing that.

yea, i think u'll see im there too :)
Problem is, that mod has died and been reborn thrice already
(Twice by me :p )and since i cant get any help from anyone there, i was hoping you guys may give me a hand. I've done a few odf's, but they still need weapon and hit point thingying, and they need models with textures. Anyone interested to see if this mod can be finished after dying 3 times, and being reborn, in the space of 3-4 years????

Title: Don't get many A2 players here lol...

I've been kicking around the ST sites for the last 6 months when I started my ST project.  AFAIK there have been 2 ST A2 projects. One by Solid Snake, and one by Admiral Hossy (I think). Are you ressurecting their efforts? Or are you totally independant?

   Anyway, aside from me I haven't heard anyone mention A2 the last year and a half so if your getting lack ofd replies it might be lack of understanding (odf files are like ships table), SOD files are Pof files... Main problem is that you can convert a pof to sod but NOT other way around unless you have 3dmax or unwrapper with exporter ($$), but I think milkshape can be used too so I gave up on A2 modding (though I like the game)...

   If you need the process (links)ect.. for pof conversion to a standard format so you can then convert to SOD (assuming you have one of the 3 programs (3dmax, Milkshape or unwrap, both  need the exporter), then PM me and I'll walk you through it as far as getting them to a .cob, .lwo, or .3ds format, beyond that I have not the programs or experince to get into SOD format...

Bah. Nah, im just going to give up.
A shame, but oh well, I'll just stick to my 2D turn based TC for Space Empires III. I even managed to add beam cannons :D
