Okay, I really shouldn't be wasting time with this, but BF 1942 really caught me lately (and Desert Combat even more)... So, of course, I started to think that it'd be cool to fly some Freespace ships around and, well, here's where that ended up:

It's a very crude mod right now, but I kinda like it.
Oh, and thanks DaBrain and Lightspeed for the hi-res maps. I upped the poly count of the Perseus myself (screwing up the mapping a bit at places too).
-
spiffy..
It needs proper lasers... :p
-
Pretty awsome... useless but awsome :yes:
-
Didn't a star wars mod for BF1942 get space combat working too?
That could be interesting...
-
Sure did and it was complete too...
Battle of Hoth I think
-
If you wanted it to be really fun, just make some terrans, vasudans, a space skybox, all the vehicles you can handle, and you got yerself a sluggin mod that would give me a reason to buy battlefield...
-
I have it, it's called Galactic Conquest, go to fileplanet or somewhere you can probably find it. It's pretty sweet, no bots though, so it's a rough LANner unless you have tons of people. Hoth was cool, but I like the space missions better because I'm the flying type.
-
Who isn't around here? :D
-
That sir, is bloody awesome :) Was it difficult to do technically? If not, this might be an interesting engine for any future FSFPS attempts.
[EDIT] As you've already apparently noticed :D
-
Ahh, MUCH better looking than that other screenshot. :)
-
I kinda like the added landing gear, actually. :D Like I said, this rocks. Love it. :):yes:
-
cool lets make a mod for that thing ... BF1942: FreeSpace
need some guns clothes etc :D doable :D
-
Awesome now just someone gotta do Apollo for BF42
-
Please please release this so I can try it out.
Please!!
-
:bump:
-
If I ever get it to work properly I'll release it. Right now it's really crude - notice the Harrier and F15 icons on the screen.
:p
-
Ya know, if the converting GS-->BF iusn't too hard, we could really be looking at a full MOD if we just get a Vasudan and a Shivan model, plus a Terran soldier. We're talking one hell of a fanbase here. We would need bots, however. Now my exams are practicly over, this might be something I can help a bit with.
-
there is already a shivan model, right?
-
Yes
But it needs some work
-
Can I just say that considering BF1942 as a base for an FS MOD or TC isn't as good an idea as it may seem. You can't really tell a story in BF1942, an element which is not only central, but crucial, to the FS universe. Without that, it's just icing on poop.
-
Exactly my thoughts really...

BF + Freespace=Lots Multi player fun.

Cool! I'd like to test that out :nod:

You think so? How exactly? Hallfight aside (which doesn't really show anything special anyway), we know absolutely nothing about FS soldier-level equipment, tech, etc. So you'd have a bunch of guys running around in uniforms, carying big guns that (apparently) shoot bullets, fighting on generic alien planets and inside our very slightly informed idea of GTA/GTVA/Vasudan/Shivan vessels - with no story worth speaking of.
Pardon my attitude, but whoop-dee-doo.
-

It just sounds good, but you are right:)
-
Sounds like fun, especially if people are like "wow, this is awesome, where can I get the game this was based off of??"
-
I never could handle a fighter in BattleField. Is it as fast as it is supposed to be?
-
If that is true, make some like a vtol and code it to have helicopter charateristics... (cheating I know but whatever makes it useable)...

But they'd be shooting those big guns and apparent bullets at Vasudans. :D Besides, we let these guys do all the hard work (Making models etc. then we "convert" them for "the good of the community". :devil:
-
Sandwich - I think the novelty of it being FreeSpace in an FPS engine plays a big part (certainly in my excitment... and I already love BF1942). Granted It'd be odd to be flying Terran/Vasudan/Shivan craft around a WW2 earth setting.. but it'd still be a laugh if it was easy to do.
At a push, I reckon we could use the standard Desert Combat plane physics and simply replace the model/weapon stuff... handling should be fine.
But hey, I'm biased ;)
-
The main idea to me is to draw players. Any egine would be good, really.
-
Once I get a PC that can play BF1942, I'll join you lot. :D
-
So, Im guessing this stuff wont exactly work with BF Vietnam, will it?
-
So I know why the Americans won the war: They had the PERSEUS!
-
The only problem with this is - who gets to be alpha 1?
-
Battlefield probably has some hangers on the airfields you know, hehehehe. Too bad i don't have the game..
-
Too bad I can't run BF1942.
Anyway, the Perseus is the best fighter in BF1942!..... Ah, no... :p

Is it on the Allied side?
